From e51e07e0ac7e3ff847d640f41b7527db04d4a4e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tkhai Kirill Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:17:03 +0000 Subject: sparc32: forced setting of mode of sun4m per-cpu timers SUN4M per-cpu timers have two modes of work. These are timer mode and counter mode. Kernel doesn't write anything to the register, which is connected with mode choice. So, the mode is chosen by bootloader. This patch forces to use timer mode from the kernel and to be independent of bootloader. I had this problem with OpenBIOS. Timers don't tick and kernel fails on QEMU, when it's compiled with SMP support. The patch fixes problem. Signed-off-by: Tkhai Kirill Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David S.
