Subject: [PATCH v2] replay: synchronize on every virtual timer callback
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 09:35:27 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <159012932716.27256.8854065545365559921.stgit@pasha-ThinkPad-X280> (raw)
Sometimes virtual timer callbacks depend on order
of virtual timer processing and warping of virtual clock.
Therefore every callback should be logged to make replay deterministic.
This patch creates a checkpoint before every virtual timer callback.
With these checkpoints virtual timers processing and clock warping
events order is completely deterministic.

v2:
- remove mutex lock/unlock for virtual clock checkpoint since it is
not process any asynchronous events (commit ca9759c2a92f528f256fef0e3922416f7bb47bf9)
- bump record/replay log file version
