event will be read from the log. Such an event allows synchronizing CPU
execution and timer events.
-Another checkpoints application in record/replay is instruction counting
-while the virtual machine is idle. This function (qemu_clock_warp) is called
-from the wait loop. It changes virtual machine state and must be deterministic
-then. That is why we added checkpoint to this function to prevent its
-operation in replay mode when it does not correspond to record mode.
+Two other checkpoints govern the "warping" of the virtual clock.
+While the virtual machine is idle, the virtual clock increments at
+1 ns per *real time* nanosecond. This is done by setting up a timer
+(called the warp timer) on the virtual real time clock, so that the
+timer fires at the next deadline of the virtual clock; the virtual clock
+is then incremented (which is called "warping" the virtual clock) as
+soon as the timer fires or the CPUs need to go out of the idle state.
+Two functions are used for this purpose; because these actions change
+virtual machine state and must be deterministic, each of them creates a
+checkpoint. qemu_start_warp_timer checks if the CPUs are idle and if so
+starts accounting real time to virtual clock. qemu_account_warp_timer
+is called when the CPUs get an interrupt or when the warp timer fires,
+and it warps the virtual clock by the amount of real time that has passed
+since qemu_start_warp_timer.
