[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] Fix and improve core RTC function and documentation |

Modifications are motivated by bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1797033
I've encountered recently.
Trying to fix it and analyzing its effect on all use cases (not covered in bug
report) revealed much deeper problems.
This is my first patch to QEMU and I'm not sure whether the way I addressed
them is proper.
They definitely require either modifications to current implementation
(breaking compability), or adding clarifications to user documentation. I've
tried to find compromise.
Changes I propose are driven mostly by my interpretation of user documentation
and comments in code, rather than by existing implementation.
I've splitted patches in a way that at least some of them may be accepted.
Following subsets are make sense on their own:
- 1
- 1,2,3
I limited refactoring only to vl.c, although it leads to reworking of all hw/*
rtc models which have unreasonable duplications of actions performed by vl.c.
I'm sure such kind of rework will reveal more hidden bugs/features, but so far
I've had enough (it's a long story how muсh effort and pain cost me to find
that tricky bug above).
I suppose just to draw attention of relevant hw/* maintainers.
