With the update to sel4 and the gcc 12, assembly instructions are generated
and used, like POPCNT. The instruction is available on our native hardware,
but not emulated by the default cpu model necessarily, which leads to
undefined opcode exceptions (Qemu 4.2.1 && seL4). Additionally, the features
of the default Qemu cpu model may vary between Qemu releases and makes it
harder to correlate effects.
Information about PS/2 and PIT where moved to app/pci_decode in the
following commit.
pci_decode: report devices from ACPI info
We still provide an empty <devices> node as the file itself is used by
platform agnostic run scripts.
Instead of having a generic "virt_qemu" board use "virt_qemu_<arch>" in
order to have a clean distinction between boards. Current supported
boards are "virt_qemu_arm_v7a", "virt_qemu_arm_v8a", and
"virt_qemu_riscv".
issue #4034
Always instantiating a network device with id `net0`, removes the need to call
append_qemu_nic_args in run scripts unless we want to add forwarding
rules.
genodelabs/genode#4311
Allow specifying additional qemu arguments for externally supported boards
(e.g. zynq_qemu) by adding a `qemu_args` file in the board-property directory.
The syntax of the qemu_args file is as follows:
- Arguments can appear in a single line or in multiple lines as the
lines will be appended (separated by a whitespace) to the global
qemu_args variable.
- If the line is prepended with a `foobar:` expression. The arguments
are only added if the foobar spec is present.
Note, that a `-m` argument specified in the qemu_args file will
override the arguments provided by the run scripts.
