2016-02-04util: Clean up includesPeter Maydell
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers which it implies are not included manually. This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes. Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Message-id: 1454089805-5470-6-git-send-email-peter.maydell@linaro.org
2015-09-24qemu-thread: add a fast path to the Win32 QemuEventPaolo Bonzini
QemuEvents are used heavily by call_rcu. We do not want them to be slow, but the current implementation does a kernel call on every invocation of qemu_event_* and won't cut it. So, wrap a Win32 manual-reset event with a fast userspace path. The states and transitions are the same as for the futex and mutex/condvar implementations, but the slow path is different of course. The idea is to reset the Win32 event lazily, as part of a test-reset-test-wait sequence. Such a sequence is, indeed, how QemuEvents are used by RCU and other subsystems! The patch includes a formal model of the algorithm. Tested-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>
2015-01-13qemu-thread: add per-thread atexit functionsPaolo Bonzini
Destructors are the main additional feature of pthread TLS compared to __thread. If we were using C++ (hint, hint!) we could have used thread-local objects with a destructor. Since we are not, instead, we add a simple Notifier-based API. Note that the notifier must be per-thread as well. We can add a global list as well later, perhaps. The Win32 implementation has some complications because a) detached threads used not to have a QemuThreadData; b) the main thread does not go through win32_start_routine, so we have to use atexit too.

2013-10-17qemu-thread: add QemuEventPaolo Bonzini
This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional variables. Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer, single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose elements come from different threads: for (;;) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... test complex condition ... if (condition is true) { break; } qemu_event_wait(ev); } Or more efficiently (but with some duplication): ... evaluate condition ... while (!condition) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... evaluate condition ... if (!condition) { qemu_event_wait(ev); ... evaluate condition ... } } QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.
