Description David Abdurachmanov 2020-01-25 09:21:14 UTC

The current QEMU release (4.2.0) contains some bugs causing issues inside RISC-V guest VMs. These were reported/confirmed by Debian/RISCV, SiFive and Fedora/RISCV at least.

I would like to backport fixes already merged upstream.

Details are available here:

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg04836.html
https://github.com/palmer-dabbelt/qemu/commits/riscv-for-master-5.0-sf1

Fedora/RISCV infrastructure depends on

  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/virtmaint-sig/virt-preview/

but I cannot update our ~150 builders until these issues are solved.

I or Richard Jones will propose a patch for QEMU in Fedora Rawhide.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2020-01-25 09:35:25 UTC

The 5 patches cleanly apply to qemu 4.2.0, so I will do a build
including these patches later.
