When a new action is installed, firstuse field of 'tcf_t' is explicitly set to 0. Value of zero means "new action, not yet used"; as a packet hits the action, 'firstuse' is stamped with the current jiffies value.
tcf_tm_dump() should return 0 for firstuse if action has not yet been hit.
@@ -69,7 +69,8 @@ static inline void tcf_tm_dump(struct tcf_t *dtm, const struct tcf_t *stm) { dtm->install = jiffies_to_clock_t(jiffies - stm->install); dtm->lastuse = jiffies_to_clock_t(jiffies - stm->lastuse);

jiffies_to_clock_t(jiffies - stm->firstuse) : 0;}
Jiffies start at small negative value (and are expected to overflow periodically). This code will not work correctly in that case.
