Event RTC_CHANGE is "emitted when the guest changes the RTC time" (and
the RTC supports the event). What if there's more than one RTC?
Which one changed? New @qom-path identifies it.

RFC because it's compile-tested only. Worthwhile? Let me know what you
think.

Hi Markus, On 22/2/22 13:02, Markus Armbruster wrote: > Event RTC_CHANGE is "emitted when the guest changes the RTC time" (and > the RTC supports the event). What if there's more than one RTC? w.r.t. RTC, a machine having multiple RTC devices is silly... Assuming one wants to emulate that; shouldn't all QMP events have a qom-path by default? Or have a generic "event-from-multiple-sources" flag which automatically add this field? > Which one changed?

I don't think we have any examples in the tree currently, but I bet real hardware like that does exist: the most plausible thing would be a board where there's an RTC built into the SoC but the board designers put an external RTC on the board (perhaps because it was better/more accurate/easier to make battery-backed). In fact, here's an old bug report from a user trying to get their Debian system to use the battery-backed RTC as the "real" one rather than the non-battery-backed RTC device that's also part of the arm board they're using: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785445 -- PMM
