2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Andreas Herrmann commit 7a6f9cbb37120c745fc187083fb5c3de4dca4f97 upstream. (See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12961) It partially reverts commit c23e253e67c9d8a91a0ffa33c1f571a17f0a2403 (x86: hpet: stop HPET_COUNTER when programming periodic mode) HPET on AMD 81xx chipset needs a second write (with HPET_TN_SETVAL cleared) to T0_CMP register to set the period in periodic mode. With this patch HPET_COUNTER is still stopped but not reset when HPET is programmed in periodic mode. This should help to avoid races when HPET is programmed in periodic mode and fixes a boot time hang that I've observed on a machine when using 1000HZ.
