Subject: [PATCH v3 06/11] hvm/hpet: In hpet_save, call hpet_get_comparator.
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:43:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397756585-27091-7-git-send-email-dslutz@verizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1397756585-27091-1-git-send-email-dslutz@verizon.com>

This changes save data to consistent/expected values.  It is not
technically required because hpet_get_comparator() will adjust from
any value to the correct value. And hpet_get_comparator() is
effectivly called in hpet_load via hpet_set_timer.

However it does look strange to people that the output from
xen-hvmctx for the comparator values do not change when the master
clock does.

The software-developers-hpet-spec-1-0a.pdf says that the comparator
will allways be greater than master clock for a periodic timer.
