Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + sent patch fixing problem where some aarch64 binaries would segfault under linux-user (changes for SVE accidentally caused them to get a too-small signal frame) + wrote an RFC kernel patch which sanitizes the ESR value reported to userspace for faults on kernel addresses, rather than dropping it entirely + wrote a patch to fix a reported QEMU compile failure for Arm guests on MIPS hosts + code review: - various bug fixes for 2.12 - another round of the patchset to implement the PMU properly - DS1338 RTC device emulation overhaul patches - QEMU side of changes to allow more than 123 CPUs with KVM (mostly involving allowing split GIC redistributor regions) - linux-user FDPIC ABI support

Hopefully next week I'll be able to get back to non-release related work...

thanks -- PMM
