* Avocado tests for ppc64 to boot FreeBSD, run guests with emulated or nested hypervisor facilities, among other things. * Update ppc64 CPU defaults to Power10. * Add a new powernv10-rainier machine to better capture differences between the different Power10 systems. * Implement more device models for powernv. * 4xx TLB flushing performance and correctness improvements. * Correct gdb implementation to access some important SPRs. * Misc cleanups and bug fixes. # -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- # # iQIzBAABCgAdFiEETkN92lZhb0MpsKeVZ7MCdqhiHK4FAmXYuX0ACgkQZ7MCdqhi # HK6t1Q/9Hxw+MseFUa/6sbWX6mhv/8emrFFOwI9qxapxDoMyic+SjIhR5PPCYh6t # TLE1vJiV54XYB3286hz3eQfDxfHNjkgsF7PYp9SEd6D1rMT9ESxeu5NkifenEfP0 # UoTFXJyfg/OF1h+JQRrVv1m+D4mqGGNCQB4QiU3DYTmRhrhp7H3mKfUX/KvkEwiX # EqZibmrqb9SVSjT66LBQzY328mEH4nipF33QtYKfYjb6kMe8ACSznL2VYP0NmacU # T+3eHJeLtOLeRlHwYfADx2ekRHlsJuE9/fMMHJHb2qxJkHSQ7yGBqSLESAe6kNP8 # TnKJ9x4433K7IjFqaoiDONrMVJbVZDh/DUh1WWdY14iiUOYEy7uLkLtmThmNSyUB # 622Rd5Ch09JWzA/tg1aC9mR2f9boe9/Z1VeHeN8j+sVj1e6MEh8un8SER3X+9TDz # myGLsmPXQnu1yjebycuE+9RAPbR9npOAkQpE5ZfDwjUM7y4s4jzZUKUoIhtCXeEF # eIykVnaGbPlEBGpuf+E+w2ZxhZUIfxRUhuunK8Ib4TE8khJn/Ir4BxoLweSnqtKM # O4xiFvHm72RUVK232Kox5HWbFJ8XSLBUb3ABNGbXXynzAMD+THB4ImFBbysOmIkR # xcF1tWQ+xoMMcCxbx73b0PhO5AR/PgYc2ctug9rAc9fh4ypJLEs= # =LZzb # -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- # gpg: Signature made Fri 23 Feb 2024 15:27:57 GMT # gpg: using RSA key 4E437DDA56616F4329B0A79567B30276A8621CAE # gpg: Good signature from "Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>" [unknown] # gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! # gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. # Primary key fingerprint: 4E43 7DDA 5661 6F43 29B0 A795 67B3 0276 A862 1CAE * tag 'pull-ppc-for-9.0-20240224' of https://gitlab.com/npiggin/qemu: (47 commits) target/ppc: optimise ppcemb_tlb_t flushing target/ppc: 440 optimise tlbwe TLB flushing target/ppc: 4xx optimise tlbwe_lo TLB flushing target/ppc: 4xx don't flush TLB for a newly written software TLB entry target/ppc: Factor out 4xx ppcemb_tlb_t flushing target/ppc: Fix 440 tlbwe TLB invalidation gaps target/ppc: Add SMT support to time facilities target/ppc: Implement core timebase state machine and TFMR ppc/pnv: Implement the ChipTOD to Core transfer ppc/pnv: Wire ChipTOD model to powernv9 and powernv10 machines ppc/pnv: Add POWER9/10 chiptod model target/ppc: Fix move-to timebase SPR access permissions target/ppc: Improve timebase register defines naming target/ppc: Rename TBL to TB on 64-bit target/ppc: Update gdbstub to read SPR's CFAR, DEC, HDEC, TB-L/U hw/ppc: N1 chiplet wiring hw/ppc: Add N1 chiplet model hw/ppc: Add pnv nest pervasive common chiplet model ppc/pnv: Test pnv i2c master and connected devices ppc/pnv: Add a pca9554 I2C device to powernv10-rainier ...
