Hello fellow Qemu aficionados,
On Windows, Qemu sets the affinity mask in order to run all thread on
CPU0, with this comment in the code (os-win32.c:182):
/* Note: cpu_interrupt() is currently not SMP safe, so we force
QEMU to run on a single CPU */
This was added by Fabrice Bellard in 2006 (git show a8e5ac33d).
I can't find/understand any reason for this CPU affinity restriction. So
I'm asking to the experts:
1 - Is this comment still applicable?
2 - If yes, what is the problem with cpu_interrupt on SMP?
3 - Why is this different on Linux?
This is a real drawback, especially to run automated tests.
Thanks in advance,
