From: Maciej W. Rozycki Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 21:09:11 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: I/O APIC: AEOI timer acknowledgement clean-ups X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~1106^2~251^2~33 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d11d5794e0c21a1054e6cd57381050a999ad7232;p=linux-2.6 x86: I/O APIC: AEOI timer acknowledgement clean-ups The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there. As a result, there is no need to use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used (this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for too long). Remove the unneeded bits and adjust comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
