Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: remove the unneeded trigger of decrementer interrupt in decrementer_check_overflow
Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:50:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366192235-17480-1-git-send-email-haokexin@gmail.com> (raw)
Previously in order to handle the edge sensitive decrementers,
we choose to set the decrementer to 1 to trigger a decrementer
interrupt when re-enabling interrupts. But with the rework of the
lazy EE, we would replay the decrementer interrupt when re-enabling
interrupts if a decrementer interrupt occurs with irq soft-disabled.
So there is no need to trigger a decrementer interrupt in this case
any more.
