[PATCH] x86, hpet: Immediately disable HPET timer 1 if rtc irq ismasked

[Andreas Herrmann]

From: Mark Langsdorf <mark.langsdorf@xxxxxxx>

When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit
on timer1 controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers
interrupts to irq8. When the system goes into suspend,
the RTC driver sends a signal to the HPET driver so
that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the
RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover
is accomplished by a write to the HPET configuration
registers which currently only occurs while servicing
the HPET interrupt.

On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before
an HPET interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the
HPET configuration register and leaving the HPET in
control of the irq8. As the HPET is not active during
suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC
alarms do not work.

This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer
control of the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting
until the next interrupt event.

Hi,

Resending Mark's patch. Seems that it was lost in space a couple of
weeks ago.

Please apply.

(Patch was built against Linus' git tree as of v3.2-rc2-101-g15bd1cf.)


Thanks,

Andreas
