This patch series adds support for timers attached to an AioContext clock which get called within aio_poll.
In doing so it removes alarm timers and moves to use ppoll where possible. This patch set 'sort of' passes make check (see below for caveat) including a new test harness for the aio timers, but has not been tested much beyond that. In particular, the win32 changes have not even been compile tested. Equally, alterations to use_icount are untested. Caveat: I have had to alter tests/test-aio.c so the following error no longer occurs. ERROR:tests/test-aio.c:346:test_wait_event_notifier_noflush: assertion failed: (aio_poll(ctx, false)) As gar as I can tell, this check was incorrect, in that it checking aio_poll makes progress when in fact it should not make progress. I fixed an issue where aio_poll was (as far as I can tell) wrongly returning true on a timeout, and that generated this error. Note also the comment on patch 15 in relation to a possible bug in cpus.c. Changes since v5: * Rebase onto master (b9ac5d9) * Fix spacing in typedef QEMUTimerList * Rename 'QEMUClocks' extern to 'qemu_clocks' Changes since v4: * Rename qemu_timerlist_ functions to timer_list (per Paolo Bonzini) * Rename qemu_timer_.*timerlist.* to timer_ (per Paolo Bonzini) * Use enum for QEMUClockType * Put clocks into an array; remove global variables * Introduce QEMUTimerListGroup - a timeliest of each type * Add a QEMUTimerListGroup to AioContext * Use a callback on timer modification, rather than binding in AioContext into the timeliest * Make cpus.c iterate over all timerlists when it does a notify * Make cpus.c icount timeout use soonest timeout across all timerlists Changes since v3: * Split up QEMUClock and QEMUClock list * Improve commenting * Fix comment in vl.c * Change test/test-aio.c to reflect correct behaviour in aio_poll. Changes since v2: * Reordered to remove alarm timers last * Added prctl(PR_SET_TIMERSLACK, 1, ...) * Renamed qemu_g_poll_ns to qemu_poll_ns * Moved declaration of above & drop glib types * Do not use a global list of qemu clocks * Add AioContext * to QEMUClock * Split up conversion to use ppoll and timers * Indentation fix * Fix aio_win32.c aio_poll to return progress * aio_notify / qemu_notify when timers are modified * change comment in deprecation of clock options Alex Bligh (16): aio / timers: add qemu-timer.c utility functions aio / timers: add ppoll support with qemu_poll_ns aio / timers: Add prctl(PR_SET_TIMERSLACK, 1, ...) to reduce timer slack aio / timers: Make qemu_run_timers and qemu_run_all_timers return progress aio / timers: Split QEMUClock into QEMUClock and QEMUTimerList aio / timers: Untangle include files aio / timers: Add QEMUTimerListGroup and helper functions aio / timers: Add QEMUTimerListGroup to AioContext aio / timers: Add a notify callback to QEMUTimerList aio / timers: aio_ctx_prepare sets timeout from AioContext timers aio / timers: Convert aio_poll to use AioContext timers' deadline aio / timers: Convert mainloop to use timeout aio / timers: On timer modification, qemu_notify or aio_notify aio / timers: Use all timerlists in icount warp calculations aio / timers: Remove alarm timers aio / timers: Add test harness for AioContext timers aio-posix.c | 20 +- aio-win32.c | 22 +- async.c | 20 +- configure | 37 +++ cpus.c | 44 ++- dma-helpers.c | 1 + hw/dma/xilinx_axidma.c | 1 + hw/timer/arm_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/grlib_gptimer.c | 2 + hw/timer/imx_epit.c | 1 + hw/timer/imx_gpt.c | 1 + hw/timer/lm32_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/puv3_ost.c | 1 + hw/timer/slavio_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/xilinx_timer.c | 1 + hw/usb/hcd-uhci.c | 1 + include/block/aio.h | 4 + include/block/block_int.h | 1 + include/block/coroutine.h | 2 + include/qemu/timer.h | 122 ++++++- main-loop.c | 49 ++- migration-exec.c | 1 + migration-fd.c | 1 + migration-tcp.c | 1 + migration-unix.c | 1 + migration.c | 1 + nbd.c | 1 + net/net.c | 1 + net/socket.c | 1 + qemu-coroutine-io.c | 1 + qemu-io-cmds.c | 1 + qemu-nbd.c | 1 + qemu-timer.c | 803 ++++++++++++++++----------------------------- slirp/misc.c | 1 + tests/test-aio.c | 141 +++++++- tests/test-thread-pool.c | 3 + thread-pool.c | 1 + ui/vnc-auth-vencrypt.c | 2 +- ui/vnc-ws.c | 1 + vl.c | 4 +- 40 files changed, 736 insertions(+), 564 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 *** BLRUB STOP *** Alex Bligh (16): aio / timers: add qemu-timer.c utility functions aio / timers: add ppoll support with qemu_poll_ns aio / timers: Add prctl(PR_SET_TIMERSLACK, 1, ...) to reduce timer slack aio / timers: Make qemu_run_timers and qemu_run_all_timers return progress aio / timers: Split QEMUClock into QEMUClock and QEMUTimerList aio / timers: Untangle include files aio / timers: Add QEMUTimerListGroup and helper functions aio / timers: Add QEMUTimerListGroup to AioContext aio / timers: Add a notify callback to QEMUTimerList aio / timers: aio_ctx_prepare sets timeout from AioContext timers aio / timers: Convert aio_poll to use AioContext timers' deadline aio / timers: Convert mainloop to use timeout aio / timers: On timer modification, qemu_notify or aio_notify aio / timers: Use all timerlists in icount warp calculations aio / timers: Remove alarm timers aio / timers: Add test harness for AioContext timers aio-posix.c | 20 +- aio-win32.c | 22 +- async.c | 20 +- configure | 37 +++ cpus.c | 44 ++- dma-helpers.c | 1 + hw/dma/xilinx_axidma.c | 1 + hw/timer/arm_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/grlib_gptimer.c | 2 + hw/timer/imx_epit.c | 1 + hw/timer/imx_gpt.c | 1 + hw/timer/lm32_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/puv3_ost.c | 1 + hw/timer/slavio_timer.c | 1 + hw/timer/xilinx_timer.c | 1 + hw/usb/hcd-uhci.c | 1 + include/block/aio.h | 4 + include/block/block_int.h | 1 + include/block/coroutine.h | 2 + include/qemu/timer.h | 122 ++++++- main-loop.c | 49 ++- migration-exec.c | 1 + migration-fd.c | 1 + migration-tcp.c | 1 + migration-unix.c | 1 + migration.c | 1 + nbd.c | 1 + net/net.c | 1 + net/socket.c | 1 + qemu-coroutine-io.c | 1 + qemu-io-cmds.c | 1 + qemu-nbd.c | 1 + qemu-timer.c | 803 ++++++++++++++++----------------------------- slirp/misc.c | 1 + tests/test-aio.c | 141 +++++++- tests/test-thread-pool.c | 3 + thread-pool.c | 1 + ui/vnc-auth-vencrypt.c | 2 +- ui/vnc-ws.c | 1 + vl.c | 4 +- 40 files changed, 736 insertions(+), 564 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5
