Progress (covers two weeks; lost half of last week to the cold that's been going around the office here): * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - code review + RTH's ARMv8.2-UAO patchset + RTH's ARMv8.1-PAN patchset + had a look at Huawei SDEI patchset; there are some things I don't like about the approach but I don't currently have any better ideas :-( Sent an email to the list to see if others have any suggestions. + Andrew Jones' patchset to pause the virtual timer when VM is paused + Some smmuv3 emulation fixes from Amazon + Support for emulating generic timers that run at platform-dependent frequency (rather than insisting they always run at 62.5MHz) - release work + herded a handful of key bugfixes into rc5; got rc5 and then the final release out of the door + got new s390 box into the set of machines we test QEMU on (IBM want to turn off the old one at the end of the year) + a couple of arm pull requests now 5.0 is open for new contributions
thanks -- PMM
