[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] tests: replace rem = sleep(time) with g_timer


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] tests: replace rem = sleep(time) with g_timer
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:38:15 +0000

Relying on sleep to always return having slept isn't safe as a signal
may have occurred. If signals are constantly incoming the program will
never reach it's termination condition. This is believed to be the
mechanism causing time outs for qht-test in Travis.

Instead we use a g_timer to determine if the duration of the test has
passed and sleep for a second at a time. This may bias benchmark
results for short runs.
