with full dynticks disabled:

#
# Timers subsystem
#
CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT=y
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set
# CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y

#
# CPU/Task time and stats accounting
#
CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
# CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is not set
# CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is not set
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3=y
CONFIG_TASKSTATS=y
CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y
CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y
CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y


everything looks fine (no overflow).
