[PATCH v2 char-misc 1/1] x86/hyperv: Fix PIT shutdown quirk

From: Michael Kelley
Date: Mon Oct 22 2018 - 12:34:20 EST


pit_shutdown() doesn't work on Hyper-V because of a quirk in the
PIT emulation. After shutdown the emulated PIT continues to interrupt
@18.2 HZ. This problem exists in all versions of Hyper-V and just
had not previously been noticed. So replace the normal PIT shutdown
function with an alternate version that works on Hyper-V.

The alternate shutdown function could go in the i8253.c module,
but it seems better to keep the hack with the Hyper-V code rather
than clutter up i8253.c with #ifdef CONFIG_HYPERV.

Changes in v2:
* Fixed commit message and comment in the code to indicate
that the PIT continues to interrupt @18.2 HZ, not every
18.2 seconds. [Dexuan Cui]
