Subject: [PATCH 00/16] cpus: Improvements around BQL locking, improving docstring
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:16:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813181640.6537-1-philmd@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
Hi,
While working on the hybrid-accelerator, I had to debug issues
with vCPU scheduling and BQL. This series contains patches I
wrote mostly as note for myself to better understand what was
going on. Please review carefully as I'm way out of my confort
zone...
Thanks,
Phil.
Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (16):
accel: Label outer / inner vCPU execution loops
cpus: Improve qemu_cpu_kick_self() docstring
cpus: Rename cpu_stop_current() -> qemu_cpu_stop_self()
cpus: Rename qemu_cpu_stop() to qemu_cpu_ack_stop_request()
cpus: Improve cpu_pause() docstring
cpus: Improve cpu_exit() docstring
cpus: Document process_queued_cpu_work*() runs on current vCPU
cpus: Slightly improve *run_on_cpu() docstrings
accel/tcg: Use RUN_ON_CPU_NULL for tcg_commit() callbacks
accel/kvm: Clarify use of @r variable in vcpu thread loop
accel/kvm: Consistently return CPU halt state from
process_async_events
target/arm/hvf: Move flush_cpu_state() into the inner vCPU loop
target/arm/hvf: Lock BQL outside of the vCPU inner execution loop
target/i386/hvf: Lock BQL outside of the vCPU inner execution loop
target/arm/powerctl: Move BQL assertions to async work context
target/arm/whpx: Fix argument order typo in memory access error
