Subject: KVM: PIT: support mode 4
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:23:54 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080430162354.GA25309@dmt> (raw)
The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating under
mode 4, which for example DragonFlyBSD uses (and Plan9 too, apparently).
Mode 4 seems to be similar to one-shot mode, other than the fact that it
starts counting after the next CLK pulse once programmed, while mode 1
starts counting immediately, so add a FIXME to enhance precision.
Fixes https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1952988&group_id=180599
