Because of -daemonize, system mode QEMU sometimes needs to fork() and keep RCU enabled in the child. However, there is a possible deadlock with synchronize_rcu: - the CPU thread is inside a RCU critical section and wants to take the BQL in order to do MMIO - the monitor thread, which is owning the BQL, calls rcu_init_lock which tries to take the rcu_sync_lock - the call_rcu thread has taken rcu_sync_lock in synchronize_rcu, but synchronize_rcu needs the CPU thread to end the critical section before returning. This cannot happen for user-mode emulation, because it does not have a BQL. To fix it, assume that system mode QEMU only forks in preparation for exec (except when daemonizing) and disable pthread_atfork as soon as the double fork has happened.
