Subject: KVM: PIT: fix count read and mode 0 handling
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 13:14:19 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090408161419.GA16804@amt.cnet> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49DB5AE8.7090009@redhat.com>


Commit 46ee278652f4cbd51013471b64c7897ba9bcd1b1 causes Solaris 10 
to hang on boot.

Assuming that PIT counter reads should return 0 for an expired timer
is wrong: when it is active, the counter never stops (see comment on
__kpit_elapsed).

Also arm a one shot timer for mode 0.
