Pavel Dovgalyuk dcb1578069 util/qemu-timer: refactor deadline calculation for external timers
icount-based record/replay uses qemu_clock_deadline_ns_all to measure
the period until vCPU may be interrupted.
This function takes in account the virtual timers, because they belong
to the virtual devices that may generate interrupt request or affect
the virtual machine state.
However, there are a subset of virtual timers, that are marked with
'external' flag. These do not change the virtual machine state and
only based on virtual clock. Calculating the deadling using the external
timers breaks the determinism, because they do not belong to the replayed
part of the virtual machine.
This patch fixes the deadline calculation for this case by adding
new parameter for skipping the external timers when it is needed.

Adds EXTERNAL attribute definition to qemu timers subsystem and assigns

Artem Pisarenko 89a603a0c8 qemu-timer: introduce timer attributes
Attributes are simple flags, associated with individual timers for their
whole lifetime.  They intended to be used to mark individual timers for
special handling when they fire.

New/init functions family in timer interface updated and refactored (new
'attribute' argument added, timer_list replaced with timer_list_group+type
combinations, comments improved to avoid info duplication).  Also existing
aio interface extended with attribute-enabled variants of functions,
which create/initialize timers.

Artem Pisarenko 05ff8dc32f Revert some patches from recent [PATCH v6] "Fixing record/replay and adding reverse debugging"
That patch series introduced new virtual clock type for use in external
subsystems. It breaks desired behavior in non-record/replay usage
scenarios due to a small change to existing behavior.  Processing of
virtual timers belonging to new clock type is kicked off to the main
loop, which makes these timers asynchronous with vCPU thread and,
in icount mode, with whole guest execution. This breaks expected
determinism in non-record/replay icount mode of emulation where these
"external subsystems" are isolated from the host (i.e. they are
external only to guest core, not to the entire emulation environment).

Example for slirp ("user" backend for network device):
User runs qemu in icount mode with rtc clock=vm without any external
communication interfaces but with "-netdev user,restrict=on". It expects
deterministic execution, because network services are emulated inside
qemu and isolated from host. There are no reasons to get reply from DHCP
server with different delay or something like that.

The next patches revert reimplements the same changes in a better way.
This reverts commit 87f4fe7653.
This reverts commit 775a412bf8.
This reverts commit 9888091404.

Emilio G. Cota 72fd2efbbd tcg: distribute tcg_time into TCG contexts
When we implemented per-vCPU TCG contexts, we forgot to also
distribute the tcg_time counter, which has remained as a global
accessed without any serialization, leading to potentially missed
counts.

Fix it by distributing the field over the TCG contexts, embedding
it into TCGProfile with a field called "cpu_exec_time", which is more
descriptive than "tcg_time". Add a function to query this value
directly, and for completeness, fill in the field in
tcg_profile_snapshot, even though its callers do not use it.

Pavel Dovgalyuk 87f4fe7653 timer: introduce new virtual clock
Slirp and VNC modules use virtual clock for processing some events that
are related to the guest execution speed.
But virtual clock-related events are consideres to be deterministic and
are recorded/replayed by icount mechanism. But slirp and VNC lie outside
the recorded guest core (which includes CPU and peripherals).
Therefore slirp and VNC are external for the guest, but should work at
guest speed.
This patch introduces new virtual clock which can be used for external
subsystems for running timers that are synchronized with the guest.

Peter Maydell b1cef6d02f Drop remaining bits of ia64 host support
We dropped support for ia64 host CPUs in the 2.11 release (removing
the TCG backend for it, and advertising the support as being
completely removed in the changelog).  However there are a few bits
and pieces of code still floating about.  Remove those, too.

We can drop the check in configure for "ia64 or hppa host?"
entirely, because we don't support hppa hosts either any more.

Paolo Bonzini 6b8f0187a4 icount: process QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers in vCPU thread
icount has become much slower after tcg_cpu_exec has stopped
using the BQL.  There is also a latent bug that is masked by
the slowness.

The slowness happens because every occurrence of a QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
timer now has to wake up the I/O thread and wait for it.  The rendez-vous
is mediated by the BQL QemuMutex:

- handle_icount_deadline wakes up the I/O thread with BQL taken
- the I/O thread wakes up and waits on the BQL
- the VCPU thread releases the BQL a little later
- the I/O thread raises an interrupt, which calls qemu_cpu_kick
- the VCPU thread notices the interrupt, takes the BQL to
  process it and waits on it

All this back and forth is extremely expensive, causing a 6 to 8-fold
slowdown when icount is turned on.

One may think that the issue is that the VCPU thread is too dependent
on the BQL, but then the latent bug comes in.  I first tried removing
the BQL completely from the x86 cpu_exec, only to see everything break.
The only way to fix it (and make everything slow again) was to add a dummy
BQL lock/unlock pair.

This is because in -icount mode you really have to process the events
before the CPU restarts executing the next instruction.  Therefore, this
series moves the processing of QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers straight in
the vCPU thread when running in icount mode.

The required changes include:

- make the timer notification callback wake up TCG's single vCPU thread
  when run from another thread.  By using async_run_on_cpu, the callback
  can override all_cpu_threads_idle() when the CPU is halted.

- move handle_icount_deadline after qemu_tcg_wait_io_event, so that
  the timer notification callback is invoked after the dummy work item
  wakes up the vCPU thread

- make handle_icount_deadline run the timers instead of just waking the
  I/O thread.

- stop processing the timers in the main loop

Some of the events (e.g., block devices operations) include interaction
with hardware. E.g., APIC polled by block devices sets one of IRQ flags.
Flag to be set depends on currently executed thread (CPU or iothread).
Therefore in replay mode we have to process the checkpoints in the same thread
as they were recorded.
qemu_clock_warp function (and its checkpoint) may be called from different
thread. This patch decouples two different execution cases of this function:
call when CPU is sleeping from iothread and call from cpu thread to update
virtual clock.
First task is performed by qemu_start_warp_timer function. It sets warp
timer event to the moment of nearest pending virtual timer.
Second function (qemu_account_warp_timer) is called from cpu thread
before execution of the code. It advances virtual clock by adding the length
of period while CPU was sleeping.

Peter Maydell 49caffe0cc qemu-common.h: Move muldiv64() to host-utils.h
Move the muldiv64() function from qemu-common.h to host-utils.h.
This puts it together with all the other arithmetic functions
where we provide a version with __int128_t and a fallback
without, and allows headers which need muldiv64() to avoid
including qemu-common.h.

We don't include host-utils from qemu-common.h, to avoid dragging
more things into qemu-common.h than it already has; in practice
everywhere that needs muldiv64() can get it via qemu/timer.h.

Paul Donohue fb1a3a051d qemu-timer: Call clock reset notifiers on forward jumps
Commit 691a0c9c introduced a mechanism by which QEMU_CLOCK_HOST can
notify other parts of the emulator when the host clock has jumped
backward.  This is used to avoid stalling timers that were scheduled
based on the host clock.

However, if the host clock jumps forward, then timers that were
scheduled based on the host clock may fire rapidly and cause other
problems.  For example, the mc146818rtc periodic timer will block
execution of the VM and consume host CPU while firing every interrupt
for the time period that was skipped by the host clock.

To correct that problem, this commit fires the reset notification if the
host clock jumps forward by more than a hard-coded limit.  The limit is
currently set to a value of 60 seconds, which should be small enough to
prevent excessive timer loops, but large enough to avoid frequent resets
in idle VMs.

Alexey Kardashevskiy 89d5cbddee profiler: Reenable built-in profiler
2ed1ebcf6 "timer: replace time() with QEMU_CLOCK_HOST" broke compile
when configured with --enable-profiler. Turned out the profiler has been
broken for a while.

This does s/qemu_time/tcg_time/ as the profiler only works in a TCG mode.
This also fixes the compile error.

This changes profile_getclock() to return nanoseconds rather than
CPU ticks as the "profile" HMP command prints seconds and there is no
platform-independent way to get ticks-per-second rate.
Since TCG is quite slow and get_clock() returns nanoseconds (fine
enough), this should not affect precision much.

This removes unused qemu_time_start and tlb_flush_time.

It then makes sense that timer_del be a no-op (instead of a crasher) on
such a de-initialized timer.  It avoids the need to poke at the timerlist

Sebastian Tanase c2aa5f8199 cpu-exec: Add sleeping algorithm
The goal is to sleep qemu whenever the guest clock
is in advance compared to the host clock (we use
the monotonic clocks). The amount of time to sleep
is calculated in the execution loop in cpu_exec.

At first, we tried to approximate at each for loop the real time elapsed
while searching for a TB (generating or retrieving from cache) and
executing it. We would then approximate the virtual time corresponding
to the number of virtual instructions executed. The difference between
these 2 values would allow us to know if the guest is in advance or delayed.
However, the function used for measuring the real time
(qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME)) proved to be very expensive.
We had an added overhead of 13% of the total run time.

Therefore, we modified the algorithm and only take into account the
difference between the 2 clocks at the begining of the cpu_exec function.
During the for loop we try to reduce the advance of the guest only by
computing the virtual time elapsed and sleeping if necessary. The overhead
is thus reduced to 3%. Even though this method still has a noticeable
overhead, it no longer is a bottleneck in trying to achieve a better
guest frequency for which the guest clock is faster than the host one.

As for the the alignement of the 2 clocks, with the first algorithm
the guest clock was oscillating between -1 and 1ms compared to the host clock.
Using the second algorithm we notice that the guest is 5ms behind the host, which
is still acceptable for our use case.

The tests where conducted using fio and stress. The host machine in an i5 CPU at
3.10GHz running Debian Jessie (kernel 3.12). The guest machine is an arm versatile-pb
built with buildroot.

Currently, on our test machine, the lowest icount we can achieve that is suitable for
aligning the 2 clocks is 6. However, we observe that the IO tests (using fio) are
slower than the cpu tests (using stress).
