When QEMU is running in icount mode, the behaviour regarding
the CPU being in sleep mode is configurable, with the default
value being set to 'off'. In this case, instruction counting
continues even when the CPU is sleeping or no target time is
set in the system timer. If the sleep parameter is set to
'on', instruction counting stops if the CPU is sleeping, and
the instruction count will fast-forward directly to the next
target time once it is being set.
In the Xilinx derivative of QEMU (which simulates ZynqMP and
Zynq-7000 SoCs), the default configuration causes QEMU to no
longer accept control commands via the console or remotely
whenever Zephyr enters and remains in idle mode.
Therefore, this commit makes the value of the sleep para-
meter of the icount functionality configurable, with the
default value remaining 'off'. The value can be changed at
board level alongside with the specification of the icount
shift value.
