Subject: [POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:57:17 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18213.19469.827909.663373@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors.
This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors. Since set_dec already had a bunch of
ifdefs to handle different processor types, there is no net increase
in ugliness. :)
This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.
