Subject: [PATCH] Use todc on Mot PReP platforms
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 09:37:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050810093735.B22586@cox.net> (raw)
This restores behavior from 2.4 where PReP platforms identified
as Motorola would calibrate the decrementer using the RTC. On
real Motorola PReP hardware this isn't needed. However, in order
to boot a stock 2.6 PReP kernel on qemu (which emulates a Motorola
PReP system) it is necessary to allow it to calibrate the decrementer
using an emulated RTC. If the decrementer rate is read from
residual data then timing is screwed since a qemu PReP system typically
runs much faster than the original hardware.
If anybody has objections to this as the default, let me know. It
still works (as did 2.4) on a couple of my Mot PReP boxes and doesn't
affect the IBM PReP paths. My goal with this is to be able to run
a stock 2.6 defconfig PReP build on qemu.
