Description
In kernel/arch/ppc32/src/asm.S
, there is:
iret_syscall: /* Reset decrementer */ li r31, 1000 mtdec r31
This is definitely wrong, especially now when the kernel can program the decrementer with a proper value to achieve its own HZ clock()
frequency.
A more systematic approach for preventing the decrementer from underflowing and missing the decrementer exception is needed.
