Out of interest, why is patch2 commented out? It failed to apply. I assume it was added upstream. I did not double check it to verify it and probably should have. Thanks for the report. I'll be updating to qemu 2.0.0 final when it's released next week, so I'm skipping rc2. However qemu-system-aarch64 that will be shipped with qemu 2.0 isn't going to be all that interesting: there's no platform or usable CPU emulation as far as I understand. Even if you use one of the existing aarch64 images that is floating around, you still need non-upstream patches to do anything useful. So I'd rather not ship it until it's at least partly end user interesting, to avoid bug reports about it 'not working'. I am however watching upstream developments and will turn it on when it's useful. I submitted an F21 feature to track that as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Virt_64bit_ARM_on_x86 |
Created attachment 885757 [details] add rc2 and aarch64 support This patch adds preliminary qemu-system-aarch64 support, as well as updates to rc2 of qemu. Let me know if there is an issue. I can't test it without an image (which doesn't exist to my knowledge), but it is easier to work with an existing packaged binary even if it is buggy.
