The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting all older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as
"Expired". Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
** Changed in: qemu
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
User-mode QEMU is not deterministic
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
QEMU in user-mode (linux-user or bsd-user) has no way to get the
equivalent of the "-icount" argument found in softmmu mode.
It is true that some system calls in user-mode can prevent
deterministic execution, but it would be very simple to patch time-
related syscalls to return a number based on icount when in
deterministic mode.
Putting both changes together (icount + time-related syscalls) would
cover the needs for deterministic execution of most benchmarks (i.e.,
those not interacting with the network or other programs in the
system).
