Subject[PATCH v2 0/2] i8253: Fix PIT shutdown quirk on Hyper-V
Date
pit_shutdown() doesn't work on Hyper-V because of a quirk in the
PIT emulation. This problem exists in all versions of Hyper-V and
had not been noticed previously. When the counter register is set
to zero, the emulated PIT continues to interrupt @18.2 HZ.

Account for this quirk by adding a global variable in the i8253
code that controls whether the counter register is zero'ed. Then
in Hyper-V initialization code, override the default setting so
the counter register is not zero'ed.

Changes in v2:
* Instead of a function call to check if running on Hyper-V,
use a global variable to control whether the counter register
is zero'ed. [Juergen Gross & Thomas Gleixner]
