From e8775d4aa17d70d123814e68a6a51bbea50e5c16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2010 15:30:22 +1000 Subject: powerpc/book3e: Don't re-trigger decrementer on lazy irq restore The decrementer on BookE acts as a level interrupt and doesn't need to be re-triggered when going negative. It doesn't go negative anyways (unless programmed to auto-reload with a negative value) as it stops when reaching 0.
