#619 closed enhancement (fixed)

account for latency when updating decrementer/system clock

Description

The PPC decrementer must be reloaded on each clock tick.
Currently, this is done by just reloading a fixed value.
The attached patch takes into account the time that elapsed
since the decrementer crossed zero in order to adjust the
value to be re-loaded. Without the patch, the effective system clock cycle is increased by the exception handler latency.

Release:
RTEMS-4.6

Environment:
powerpc/mpc6xx/clock
