From 98e56ae6798cc5f5e432e8d93d5d18ebdeb7e496 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2018 16:13:12 +0200 Subject: accel: Improve selection of the default accelerator When compiling with "--disable-tcg", we currently still use "tcg" as default accelerator. "kvm" should be used in this case instead. Also, some downstream distros provide QEMU binaries which have "kvm" in their names (e.g. "qemu-kvm" on RHEL or "kvm" on Ubuntu) that use KVM by default - and some users might want to do something similar with upstream binaries, too. Accomodate them by using "kvm:tcg" as default when we detect such a binary name.
