current version of my qemu script posted Sat, 29 Aug 2015 14:37:23 UTC

Since I keep posting it other places, but have yet to post it here, I'm including a copy of my current shell script to start qemu:

#!/bin/zsh

keyboard_id="04d9:0169"
mouse_id="046d:c24a"

keyboard=$(lsusb | grep "${keyboard_id}" | cut -d ' ' -f 2,4 | grep -Eo '[[:digit:]]+' | sed -e 's/^0*//' | xargs -n 2 | sed -e 's/ /./')
mouse=$(lsusb | grep "${mouse_id}" | cut -d ' ' -f 2,4 | grep -Eo '[[:digit:]]+' | sed -e 's/^0*//' | xargs -n 2 | sed -e 's/ /./')

if [[ -z "${keyboard}" || -z "${mouse}" ]]; then
        echo "keyboard (${keyboard}) or mouse (${mouse}) cannot be found; exiting"
        exit 1
fi

for i in {4..7}; do
        echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
        #cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
done

sleep 5

#cpuid=0
cpuid=4
for threadpid in $(echo 'query-cpus' | qmp-shell /run/qmp-sock | grep '^(QEMU) {"return":' | sed -e 's/^(QEMU) //' | jq -r '.return[].thread_id'); do
        taskset -p -c ${cpuid} ${threadpid}
        ((cpuid+=1))
done

wait

for i in {4..7}; do
        echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
        #cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
done

The only real change was to automatically search for the keyboard and mouse I want to pass through in case they get unplugged and end up at a different bus address.
