Use a vblank timer to simulate the vblank interrupt. The DRM vblank helpers provide an implementation on top of Linux' hrtimer. Cirrus-qemu enables and disables the timer as part of the CRTC. The atomic_flush callback sets up the event. Like vblank interrupts, the vblank timer fires at the rate of the display refresh. Most userspace limits its page flip rate according to the DRM vblank event. Cirrus-qemu' virtual hardware does not provide vblank interrupts, so DRM sends each event ASAP. With the fast access times of virtual display memory, the event rate is much higher than the display mode's refresh rate; creating the next page flip almost immediately. This leads to excessive CPU overhead from even small display updates, such as moving the mouse pointer. This problem affects cirrus-qemu and all other virtual displays.
