From 7c912ffb59e8137091894d767433e65c3df8b0bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2024 12:35:39 +0200 Subject: hpet: avoid timer storms on periodic timers If the period is set to a value that is too low, there could be no time left to run the rest of QEMU. Do not trigger interrupts faster than 1 MHz.
