[VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ]

Last of the patches merged to mainline. Epic is now closed.

[VIRT-282 # QEMU: Accelerate TCG with KVM ]

A hallway talk with Paolo lead to a write-up, and Alex encouraged me to create the epic. The epic description contains a link to the write-up, if anyone is interested. I'd like to at least create a vm, measure some round-trip costs, and properly gauge the level of difficulty. Beyond that... we'll see.

[Upstream]

Patch review: - risc-v decodetree patches v2. Produced some patches against decodetree itself in response. I'm hopeful to see a much cleaner v3. - per-cpu locks

[KVM Forum]

- Unsurprisingly, lots of people worked on speculation mitigation this year. - Lots of focus on "ram", and the allocation and management thereof. - Four talks on improving nested virtualization. - The rest to follow in the trip report.
