Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + more code review and assembly of the last pull request for softfreeze for QEMU 5.2 + noticed that our AArch32 Neon emulation doesn't work on big-endian hosts. RTH fixed most of this and I wrote a couple of patches to fix bugs in some insns that were only noticeable once we got out of the "anything working on vectors is broken" state :-) + looked at trying to get our documentation to build with Sphinx 3, which has made some annoying incompatible changes to the markup it accepts
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions] + started implementation of new insns VSCCLRM, CLRM, and the new FP sysregs accessed via VLDR/VSTR
KVM Forum (virtual conference) was this week. Some interesting talks: * Will Deacon on what Google is doing to introduce KVM into Android * Marc Zyngier/Christoffer Dall on a virtual-only interrupt controller that's less of a big lump of code to put on a security boundary than a full-on GIC * Salil Mehta on the current problems with doing Arm vCPU hotplug in KVM
