ce967e2f33 i8254: Rework & fix interaction with HPET in legacy mode
When the HPET enters legacy mode, the IRQ output of the PIT is
suppressed and replaced by the HPET timer 0. But the current code to
emulate this was broken in many ways. It reset the PIT state after
re-enabling, it worked against a stale static PIT structure, and it did
not properly saved/restored the IRQ output mask in the PIT vmstate.

This patch solves the PIT IRQ control in a different way. On x86, it
both redirects the PIT IRQ to the HPET, just like the RTC. But it also
keeps the control line from the HPET to the PIT. This allows to disable
the PIT QEMU timer when it is not needed. The PIT's view on the control
line state is now saved in the same format that qemu-kvm is already
using.

Note that, in contrast to the suppressed RTC IRQ line, we do not need to
save/restore the PIT line state in the HPET. As we trigger a PIT IRQ
update via the control line, the line state is reconstructed on mode
switch.

5904ae4eba hpet: Save/restore cached RTC IRQ level
In legacy mode, the HPET suppresses the RTC interrupt delivery via IRQ
8 but keeps track of the RTC output level and applies it when legacy
mode is turned off again. This value has to be preserved across save/
restore as it cannot be reconstructed otherwise.

To document that a raised rtc_irq_level won't survive a vmload without
a hpet/rtc_irq_level subsection, add an explicit clearing to the reset
handler.

39bffca203 qdev: register all types natively through QEMU Object Model
This was done in a mostly automated fashion.  I did it in three steps and then
rebased it into a single step which avoids repeatedly touching every file in
the tree.

The first step was a sed-based addition of the parent type to the subclass
registration functions.

The second step was another sed-based removal of subclass registration functions
while also adding virtual functions from the base class into a class_init
function as appropriate.

Finally, a python script was used to convert the DeviceInfo structures and
qdev_register_subclass functions to TypeInfo structures, class_init functions,
and type_register_static calls.

We are almost fully converted to QOM after this commit.

4f61927a41 hpet: fix infinite loop in qemu_run_timers with -icount enabled
hpet_timer timer callback rearms itself based on difference between
current HPET tick counter and comparator value. Difference calculated by
the hpet_calculate_diff function is limited to non-negative values.

cur_tick is calculated via hpet_get_ticks that uses qemu_get_clock_ns(vm_clock).

With -icount enabled vm_clock doesn't advance during qemu_run_timers
loop thus once difference is zero, qemu_run_timers loops forever
handling hpet_timer.

Limit hpet_calculate_diff results to positive only values to avoid that
infinite loop.

This fixes the following qemu-system-x86_64 hang when it reaches
timer_irq_works() in the linux bootup:

7447545544 change all other clock references to use nanosecond resolution accessors
This was done with:

    sed -i 's/qemu_get_clock\>/qemu_get_clock_ns/' \
        $(git grep -l 'qemu_get_clock\>' )
    sed -i 's/qemu_new_timer\>/qemu_new_timer_ns/' \
        $(git grep -l 'qemu_new_timer\>' )

after checking that get_clock and new_timer never occur twice
on the same line.  There were no missed occurrences; however, even
if there had been, they would have been caught by the compiler.

There was exactly one false positive in qemu_run_timers:

     -    current_time = qemu_get_clock (clock);
     +    current_time = qemu_get_clock_ns (clock);

which is of course not in this patch.

hpet is functional before using it. Solve this by passing info about

that seabios no longer uses hard coded hpet configuration. Proposed

the latter is currently available as fast in-kernel model.

7d932dfdc5 hpet/rtc: Rework RTC IRQ replacement by HPET
Allow the intercept the RTC IRQ for the HPET legacy mode. Then push
routing to IRQ8 completely into the HPET. This allows to turn
hpet_in_legacy_mode() into a private function. Furthermore, this stops
the RTC from clearing IRQ8 even if the HPET is in control.

This patch comes with a side effect: The RTC timers will no longer be
stoppend when there is no IRQ consumer, possibly causing a minor
performance degration. But as the guest may want to redirect the RTC to
the SCI in that mode, it should normally disable unused IRQ source
anyway.

c169998802 v3: don't call reset functions on cpu initialization
There is absolutely no need to call reset functions when initializing
devices. Since we are already registering them, calling qemu_system_reset()
should suffice. Actually, it is what happens when we reboot the machine,
and using the same process instead of a special case semantics will even
allow us to find bugs easier.

Furthermore, the fact that we initialize things like the cpu quite early,
leads to the need to introduce synchronization stuff like qemu_system_cond.
This patch removes it entirely. All we need to do is call qemu_system_reset()
only when we're already sure the system is up and running

I tested it with qemu (with and without io-thread) and qemu-kvm, and it
seems to be doing okay - although qemu-kvm uses a slightly different patch.

[ v2: user mode still needs cpu_reset, so put it in ifdef. ]
[ v3: leave qemu_system_cond for now. ]

ce536cfd1c HPET fixes for reg writes
This patch addresses the problems found by Andriy Gapon:

- The code was incorrectly overwriting the high order 32
  bits of the timer and hpet config registers. This didn't show up
  in testing because linux and windows use hpet in legacy mode,
  where the high order 32 bits (advertising available interrupts)
  of the timer config register are ignored, and the high order 32
  bits of the hpet config register are reserved and unused.

- The mask for level-triggered interrupts was off by a bit. (hpet
  doesn't currently support level-triggered interrupts).

In addition, I removed some unused #defines, and corrected the ioapic
interrupt values advertised. I'd set this up early in hpet development
and never went back to correct it, and no bugs resulted since linux and
windows use hpet in legacy mode where available interrupts are ignored.

are called in their registration order. Therefore, the patch preserves
this property. If someone feels bored, (s)he could try to identify this

35730fa055 hpet config mask fix
I discovered a bug in the hpet code that caused Windows to boot without
hpet. The config mask I was using was preventing the guest from placing
the hpet into 32 bit mode.

16b29ae180 Add HPET emulation to qemu (Beth Kon)
This patch adds HPET emulation.  It can be disabled with -disable-hpet.  An hpet
provides a more finely granular clocksource than otherwise available on PC.
This means that latency-dependent applications (e.g. multimedia) will generally
be smoother when using the HPET.
