No code has to actually run when there's an active timer;
the event loop thread mostly sits blocked waiting for
something interesting to happen (io or a timer firing).
When it does then the event loop thread will call the
generic timer code, which will call the callback function
for that timer. Typically this is inside the device model
for whatever timer the hardware you're modelling is. It
will then (assuming it really wants to create a simulated
interrupt) call qemu_irq_set()

What is the exact name of this function? There is no such qemu_irq_set()

in the latest 2.3.0 source.

Peter just got it switched around, it's qemu_set_irq() in include/hw/irq.h.
