QEMU threads code path:
io thread        --->   main_loop_wait(vl.c)             --> select
vcpu thread    ---> ap_main_loop(qemu-kvm.c)   --> kvm_main_loop_cpu
signal thread  --->   sigwait_compat(compatfd.c) --> sigwaitinfo
QEMU timer emulation path:

main(vl.c)  ---> init_timer_alarm(vl.c) ---> dynticks_start_timer ---> sigaction(SIGALARM, host_alarm_handler) --> timer_create

             (or  ---> hpet_start_timer ---> open(/dev/hpet) ---> enable_sigio_timer --> sigaction(SIGIO, host_alarm_handler)
