The cortex A53 TRM specifies that bits 24 and 25 of the L2CTLR register
specify the number of cores in the processor, not the total number of
cores in the system. To report this correctly on machines with multiple
CPU clusters (ARM's big.LITTLE or Xilinx's ZynqMP) we need to allow
the machine to overwrite this value. To do this let's add an optional
property.
Backports commit f9a697112ee64180354f98309a5d6b691cc8699d from qemu
Add support for the new ARMv8.2 SHA-3, SM3, SM4 and SHA-512 instructions to
AArch64 user mode emulation.
Backports commit 955f56d44a73d74016b2e71765d984ac7a6db1dc from qemu
Enable the ARM_FEATURE_EL2 bit on Cortex-A52 and
Cortex-A57, since this is all now sufficiently implemented
to work with the GICv3. We provide the usual CPU property
to disable it for backwards compatibility with the older
virt boards.
In this commit, we disable the EL2 feature on the
virt and ZynpMP boards, so there is no overall effect.
Another commit will expose a board-level property to
allow the user to enable EL2.
Backports commit c25bd18a04c8bd0f19556d719864b7b08528222d from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
