[PATCH 3.16 140/305] x86/hyper-v: Enable PIT shutdown quirk

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Feb 03 2019 - 09:22:29 EST


3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Kelley <mikelley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1de72c706488b7be664a601cf3843bd01e327e58 upstream.

Hyper-V emulation of the PIT has a quirk such that the normal PIT shutdown
path doesn't work, because clearing the counter register restarts the
timer.

Disable the counter clearing on PIT shutdown.
