In arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_pit.c:

    166 void setup_pit_timer(void)
    167 {
    168         unsigned long flags;
    169 
    170         spin_lock_irqsave(&i8253_lock, flags);
    171         outb_p(0x34,PIT_MODE);          /* binary, mode 2, LSB/MSB, ch 0 */
    172         udelay(10);
    173         outb_p(LATCH & 0xff , PIT_CH0); /* LSB */
    174         udelay(10);
    175         outb(LATCH >> 8 , PIT_CH0);     /* MSB */
    176         spin_unlock_irqrestore(&i8253_lock, flags);
    177 }
    178
