[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 02/19] tcg: add options for enabling MTTCG


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 02/19] tcg: add options for enabling MTTCG
Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2016 14:57:31 +0000

From: KONRAD Frederic <address@hidden>

We know there will be cases where MTTCG won't work until additional work
is done in the front/back ends to support. It will however be useful to
be able to turn it on.

As a result MTTCG will default to off unless the combination is
supported. However the user can turn it on for the sake of testing.

v1:
  - merge with add mttcg option.
  - update commit message
v2:
  - machine_init->opts_init
v3:
  - moved from -tcg to -accel tcg,thread=single|multi
  - fix checkpatch warnings
v4:
  - make mttcg_enabled extern, qemu_tcg_mttcg_enabled() now just macro
  - qemu_tcg_configure now propagates Error instead of exiting
  - better error checking of thread=foo
  - use CONFIG flags for default_mttcg_enabled()
  - disable mttcg with icount, error if both forced on
