      qemu-timer.c: Remove 250us timeouts · 158fd3ce
      Peter Portante authored
      
      Basically, the main wait loop calls qemu_run_all_timers() unconditionally. The
      first thing this routine used to do is to see if a timer had been serviced,
      and then reset the loop timeout to the next deadline.
      
      However, the new deadlines had not been calculated at that point, as
      qemu_run_timers() had not been called yet for each of the clocks. So
      qemu_rearm_alarm_timer() would end up with a negative or zero deadline, and
      default to setting a 250us timeout for the loop.
      
      As qemu_run_timers() is called for each clock, the real deadlines would be put
      in place, but because a loop timeout was already set, the loop timeout would
      not be changed.
      
      Once that 250us timeout fired, the real deadline would be used for the
      subsequent timeout.
      
      For idle VMs, this effectively doubles the number of times through the loop,
      doubling the number of select() system calls, timer calls, etc. putting added
      scheduling pressure on the kernel. And under cgroups, this really causes a big
      problem because the cgroup code does not scale well.
      
      By simply running the timers before trying to rearm the timer, we always rearm
      with a non-zero deadline, effectively halving the number of system calls.

      The kvmvapic was not present in older QEMU versions, thus must be
      disabled in compat machines.

      Kick io-thread on qemu_chr_accept_input · 98c8ee1d
      Jan Kiszka authored
      
      Once a chr frontend is able to receive input again, we need to inform
      the io-thread about this fact. Otherwise, main_loop_wait may continue to
      select without the related backend file descriptor in its set. This can
      cause high input latencies if only low-rate events arrive otherwise.

      Jan Kiszka authored
      
      As long as we have no link and we aren't in internal loopback mode, no
      packet must be sent. Instead, LCAR needs to be set in any active TX
      descriptor and also CERR in CSR0.

      pcnet: Clear ERR in CSR0 on stop · 6655124d
      Jan Kiszka authored
      
      pcnet_stop already clears any reason (BABL, CERR, MISS, MERR) why ERR
      (bit 15) should be set in CRS0. So we have to clear that bit as well.

      Jan Kiszka authored
      
      Now that we have a hard dependency on python anyway, we can replace the
      slow shell script to calculate the option ROM checksum with a fast AND
      portable python version. Tested both with python 2.7 and 3.1.
