Progress (covers two half-weeks):
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- investigating a reported bug with semihosting syscalls over gdbstub
- reviewed a massive series from RTH refactoring our SVE code
in preparation for handling SME
* QEMU-422 [QEMU Arm Neoverse V1 vCPU for TCG]
- looking at exactly what FEAT_RASv1p1 and FEAT_DoubleFault require
of a minimal RAS implementation like QEMU's
- sent a patch implementing FEAT_RASv1p1 (a no-op for QEMU)
- sent a patch implementing FEAT_DoubleFault (turns out to be
simpler than I initially feared it might be)

Hello,
# [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging
* Found out that one issue I was having with gdbserver was caused by an
incompatibility it has with zsh (sourceware bug 26116).
* Fixed a gdbserver crash in my code where a register set was NULL in
the target description.
* Now working on an issue where the target description says SVE isn't
supported, but the regsets information says they are. This is caused
by my code sometimes moving the first ptrace call to get the inferior
registers to a time before it is properly stopped.
# Sourceware bug 28561 - [gdb/testsuite] Error due to not reading \r\n
at end of mi prompt
* Set up a few containers and KVM guests to attempt to reproduce this
bug on different environments. Reproduced it successfully on an
openSUSE Leap 15.3 guest, as well as Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 containers
in said guest. I wasn't able to reproduce on Ubuntu 20.04 nor 22.04
guests. Suspecting it's a kernel issue where the fix was backported to
the Ubuntu kernels.
