That patch series introduced new virtual clock type for use in external subsystems. It breaks desired behavior in non-record/replay usage scenarios due to a small change to existing behavior. Processing of virtual timers belonging to new clock type is kicked off to the main loop, which makes these timers asynchronous with vCPU thread and, in icount mode, with whole guest execution. This breaks expected determinism in non-record/replay icount mode of emulation where these "external subsystems" are isolated from the host (i.e. they are external only to guest core, not to the entire emulation environment). Example for slirp ("user" backend for network device): User runs qemu in icount mode with rtc clock=vm without any external communication interfaces but with "-netdev user,restrict=on". It expects deterministic execution, because network services are emulated inside qemu and isolated from host. There are no reasons to get reply from DHCP server with different delay or something like that. The next patches revert reimplements the same changes in a better way. This reverts commit 87f4fe76. This reverts commit 775a412b. This reverts commit 98880914.
