[PATCH 10/50] KVM: PIT: support mode 3

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Thu Jun 26 2008 - 08:46:31 EST


From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating
under mode 3, which for example Hurd uses.

This mode should output a square wave, high for (N+1)/2 counts and low
for (N-1)/2 counts. As we only care about the resulting interrupts, the
period is N, and mode 3 is the same as mode 2 with regard to
interrupts.
