H A Dreplay-audio.cdiff d759c951f3287fad04210a52f2dc93f94cf58c7f Tue Feb 27 03:52:48 CST 2018 Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> replay: push replay_mutex_lock up the call tree

Now instead of using the replay_lock to guard the output of the log we
now use it to protect the whole execution section. This replaces what
the BQL used to do when it was held during TCG execution.

We also introduce some rules for locking order - mainly that you
cannot take the replay_mutex while holding the BQL. This leads to some
slight sophistry during start-up and extending the
replay_mutex_destroy function to unlock the mutex without checking
for the BQL condition so it can be cleanly dropped in the non-replay
case.

H A Dmain-loop.cdiff 21891a5a3011608845b5d7f1f9cce60cdc2bcc62 Wed May 30 14:42:38 CDT 2018 Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> main-loop: drop spin_counter

Commit d759c951f3287fad04210a52f2dc93f94cf58c7f ("replay: push
replay_mutex_lock up the call tree") removed the !timeout lock
optimization in the main loop.

The idea of the optimization was to avoid ping-pongs between threads by
keeping the Big QEMU Lock held across non-blocking (!timeout) main loop
iterations.

A warning is printed when the main loop spins without releasing BQL for
long periods of time. These warnings were supposed to aid debugging but
in practice they just alarm users. They are considered noise because
the cause of spinning is not shown and is hard to find.

Now that the lock optimization has been removed, there is no danger of
hogging the BQL. Drop the spin counter and the infamous warning.
