There is a slight difficulty here with testing this: icount
doesn't seem to work for sparc Linux guests in master at the
moment. For instance if you get the advent calendar image from
https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2018/download/day11.tar.xz
it will boot without icount with a command line like
qemu-system-sparc -display none -vga none -machine SS-20 -serial stdio
-kernel /tmp/day11/zImage.elf
But if you add '-icount auto' it will get as far as
"bootconsole [earlyprom0] disabled" and then apparently hang.
I'm not sure what's going on here :-(
(I filed this as https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/499)
This turns out to be a recent regression, caused by commit 78ff82bb
("accel/tcg: Reduce CF_COUNT_MASK to match TCG_MAX_INSNS"). It's
an intermittent rather than a 100% reproducible hang.
Ouch. Ok, I'll have a look.
