[PATCH 4.14 072/124] clockevents/drivers/i8253: Add support for PIT shutdown quirk

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2018-11-19 16:50:02
Also in: lkml, virtualization

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Michael Kelley <redacted>

commit 35b69a420bfb56b7b74cb635ea903db05e357bec upstream.

Add support for platforms where pit_shutdown() doesn't work because of a
quirk in the PIT emulation. On these platforms setting the counter register
to zero causes the PIT to start running again, negating the shutdown.

Provide a global variable that controls whether the counter register is
zero'ed, which platform specific code can override.
