Port qemu-kvm's signalfd compat code. commit 5a7fdd0abd7cd24dac205317a4195446ab8748b5 Author: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Date: Wed May 7 11:55:47 2008 -0500 Use signalfd() in io-thread This patch reworks the IO thread to use signalfd() instead of sigtimedwait() This will eliminate the need to use SIGIO everywhere.

2008-10-08Fix IO performance regression in sparcaliguori
Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe. There is no way to interrupt the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable. This results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during bootup. This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally suggested by Ian Jackson. The signal handler lets us interrupt the CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the select/signal race condition.

2008-09-27Make compatfd fallback more robustaliguori
Be more friendly when signalfd() fails, and also add configure checks to detect that syscall(SYS_signalfd) actually works. malc pointed out that some installs do not have /usr/include/linux headers that are in sync with the glibc headers so why SYS_signalfd is defined, it's #defined to _NR_signalfd which is not defined in the /usr/include/linux header. While this is a distro bug, it doesn't hurt to do a more thorough job in detection.
