ppc patch queue 2017-05-25 Assorted accumulated patches. These are nearly all bugfixes at one level or another - some for longstanding problems, others for some regressions caused by more recent cleanups. This includes preliminary patches towards fixing migration for Radix Page Table guests under POWER9 and also fixing some migration regressions due to the re-organization of the interrupt controller code. Not all the pieces are there yet, so those still won't quite work, but the preliminary changes make sense on their own. # gpg: Signature made Thu 25 May 2017 04:50:00 AM BST # gpg: using RSA key 0x6C38CACA20D9B392 # gpg: Good signature from "David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>" # gpg: aka "David Gibson (kernel.org) <dwg@kernel.org>" # gpg: aka "David Gibson (Red Hat) <dgibson@redhat.com>" # gpg: aka "David Gibson (ozlabs.org) <dgibson@ozlabs.org>" # Primary key fingerprint: 75F4 6586 AE61 A66C C44E 87DC 6C38 CACA 20D9 B392 * dgibson/tags/ppc-for-2.10-20170525: xics: add unrealize handler hw/ppc/spapr.c: recover pending LMB unplug info in spapr_lmb_release hw/ppc: migrating the DRC state of hotplugged devices hw/ppc: removing drc->detach_cb and drc->detach_cb_opaque hw/ppc/spapr.c: adding pending_dimm_unplugs to sPAPRMachineState spapr: add pre_plug function for memory pseries: Restore support for total vcpus not a multiple of threads-per-core for old machine types pseries: Split CAS PVR negotiation out into a separate function spapr: fix error reporting in xics_system_init() spapr_cpu_core: drop reference on ICP object during CPU realization hw/ppc/spapr_events.c: removing 'exception' from sPAPREventLogEntry spapr: ensure core_slot isn't NULL in spapr_core_unplug() xics_kvm: cache already enabled vCPU ids spapr: Consolidate HPT freeing code into a routine spapr-cpu-core: release ICP object when realization fails spapr: sanitize error handling in spapr_ics_create() ppc/xics: simplify prototype of xics_spapr_init() target/ppc: reset reservation in do_rfi() Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Mac
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
