Hi all, Commit a1b18df9a4848fc8a906e40c275063bfe9ca2047 on the ppc-for-50 branch makes qemu-system-ppc running Mac OS 9 extremely slow. I bisected to the result below.
Command line used: ./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -boot c \ -hda 9.2.img \ -serial stdio -sdl Best, Howard a1b18df9a4848fc8a906e40c275063bfe9ca2047 is the first bad commit commit a1b18df9a4848fc8a906e40c275063bfe9ca2047 Author: Igor Mammedov <imamm...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Feb 19 11:08:40 2020 -0500 vl.c: move -m parsing after memory backends has been processed It will be possible for main RAM to come from memory-backend and we should check that size specified in -m matches the size of the backend and [MachineState::]ram_size also matches backend's size. However -m parsing (set_memory_options()) happens before backends are intialized (object_create_delayed()) which complicates it. Consolidate set_memory_options() and assigning parsed results to current_machine after backends are initialized, so it would be possible access the initialized backend instance to compare sizes. This patch only consolidates scattered places touching ram_size within vl.c. And follow up patch will integrate backend handling to set_memory_options().
