Using s64 type, instead of long type, for internal calculations and for the sysfs interface. This allows 64-bit values to appear correctly on 32-bit kernels. As wattage is reported in microwatts, monitoring a power supply over 2KW requires this. Although it may seem unlikely to run a 32-bit kernel on such a large machine, enterprise servers often include a BMC, and the BMC might be running a 32-bit kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
