[ACTIVITY] week ending 3 Jun 2018

Progress:

[VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ]

Part 2 posted.

[Upstream]

Review of tb_lock removal; it's failing it's own asserts. :-/ Respin interp_dirfd patchset, now with host fd protection. Posted an RFC for splitting up the ~5000 line do_syscall function.

[Cortex Strings]

Found two bugs in my sve string implementations. Submitted the results to cortex-strings.

(This is the mechanism by which I plan to test the first-fault load implementation within qemu; the testsuite tries string operations near a page boundary.)

Beginning to incorporate feedback from Richard Sandiford. So far strlen, strcmp, strcpy updated, but not yet reposted.
