[Qemu-devel] Sparc32 broken

[Blue Swirl]

Hi,

I only now noticed that sparc-softmmu no longer works in all cases.

./obj-bisect/sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc -L pc-bios

hangs before clearing the screen. For some reason, this does not
happen with a CD image to boot from. With -nographic added, I get:

Configuration device id QEMU version 1 machine id 32
UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

  Type 'help' for detailed information

But I can't type anything.

Bisection points to:

    qemu: factor out event notification / rearm alarm timer on
main_loop_wait (Marcelo Tosatti)

    Special events that have no particular event descriptor (either fd for UNIX
    or HANDLE for Windows) associated with make use of an artificial one.

    Factor the alarm timer notification so that it can be used for other events,
    and move dyntick timer rearm to main_loop_wait.

    aliguori: made sure to return a value in qemu_event_init() on win32

The commit looks OK to me, strange.
