qemu timing could indeed use an overhaul, for example not relying on a perioding tick but instead calculating the next wakeup event (for which it has all the infrastructure already; just unused). > I'm pretty sure that if you are on an SMP host, some bad things can > happen with the QEMU timer code since it relies on the rdtsc. It seems to compensate for it. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
