This patch series makes the QEMU main loop usable out of the executable, and especially in tools and possibly unit tests. The series already starts using the refactored main loop in qemu-nbd.
This is cleaner because it avoids introducing partial transitions to GIOChannel. Interfacing with the glib main loop is still possible. The main loop code is currently split in cpus.c and vl.c. Moving it to a new file is easy; the problem is that the main loop depends on the timer infrastructure in qemu-timer.c, and that file currently contains the implementation of icount and the vm_clock. This is bad for the perspective of linking qemu-timer.c into the tools. Luckily, it is relatively easy to untie them and move them out of the way. This is what the largest part of the series does (patches 1-9). Patches 10-13 complete the refactoring and cleanup some surrounding code. v1->v2 Rebased Paolo Bonzini (13): remove unused function qemu-timer: remove active_timers array qemu-timer: move common code to qemu_rearm_alarm_timer qemu-timer: more clock functions qemu-timer: move icount to cpus.c qemu-timer: do not refer to runstate_is_running() qemu-timer: use atexit for quit_timers qemu-timer: move more stuff out of qemu-timer.c qemu-timer: do not use RunState change handlers create main-loop.h create main-loop.c Revert to a hand-made select loop simplify main loop functions Makefile.objs | 2 +- async.c | 1 + cpus.c | 496 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ cpus.h | 3 +- exec-all.h | 14 ++ exec.c | 3 - hw/mac_dbdma.c | 5 - hw/mac_dbdma.h | 1 - iohandler.c | 54 +------ main-loop.c | 494 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ main-loop.h | 73 ++++++++ os-win32.c | 123 -------------- qemu-char.h | 12 +-- qemu-common.h | 15 +-- qemu-os-posix.h | 4 - qemu-os-win32.h | 15 +-- qemu-timer.c | 489 ++++++++++------------------------------------------- qemu-timer.h | 30 +--- savevm.c | 25 +++ slirp/libslirp.h | 11 -- sysemu.h | 3 +- vl.c | 189 ++++----------------- 22 files changed, 1027 insertions(+), 1035 deletions(-) create mode 100644 main-loop.c create mode 100644 main-loop.h -- 1.7.6
