[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v13 22/25] util/qemu-timer: refactor deadline calculation for external timers

[Pavel Dovgalyuk <Pavel.Dovgaluk@ispras.ru>]

icount-based record/replay uses qemu_clock_deadline_ns_all to measure
the period until vCPU may be interrupted.
This function takes in account the virtual timers, because they belong
to the virtual devices that may generate interrupt request or affect
the virtual machine state.
However, there are a subset of virtual timers, that are marked with
'external' flag. These do not change the virtual machine state and
only based on virtual clock. Calculating the deadling using the external
timers breaks the determinism, because they do not belong to the replayed
part of the virtual machine.
This patch fixes the deadline calculation for this case.
