[Qemu-devel] Ensuring data is written to disk

2006-07-31 Thread Armistead, Jason
I've been following the thread about disk data consistency with some interest. Given that many IDE disk drives may choose to hold data in their write buffers before actually writing it to disk, and given that the ordering of the writes may not be the same as the OS or application expects, the only

You misunderstand, I have no control over the running program. I didn't write it, I don't have source code, and I surely wouldn't have used a polling mechanism for determining the vblank as you suggested. My problem is that I wish to run this program through qemu. I've made a bunch of hardware

[Qemu-devel] Run Real Time Guest OS?

2006-07-31 Thread Steve Ellenoff
Is it possible to run a real time OS under qemu? What changes would need to be made? Can it even be done? The guest OS I'm trying to run sets the RTC System Timer 0 to a 0.25ms interval (~4000Hz)!! The program I'm trying to run on it, expects this time to be accurate, and as such, visually the

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] GDB serial protocol fixes (detach, kill, and initial status query)

I have occasionally found that I have killed off gdb, and had no way to recover a debug session to QEMU. Also the detach/kill sequence does not work correctly protocol wise in the QEMU gdb-stub. This patch addresses these problems. I implemented the serial protocol commands the same way as
