The problem code has been removed in 2.6.24. The below patch disables
SCHED_FEAT_PRECISE_CPU_LOAD which causes the offending code to be skipped
but does not prevent the user from enabling it.
The divide-by-zero is here in kernel/sched.c:
static void update_cpu_load(struct rq *this_rq)
{
u64 fair_delta64, exec_delta64, idle_delta64, sample_interval64, tmp64;
unsigned long total_load = this_rq->ls.load.weight;
unsigned long this_load = total_load;
struct load_stat *ls = &this_rq->ls;
int i, scale;
this_rq->nr_load_updates++;
if (unlikely(!(sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_PRECISE_CPU_LOAD)))
goto do_avg;
/* Update delta_fair/delta_exec fields first */
update_curr_load(this_rq);
