Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ respun the QEMU side of the "fix 32-bit-guest readdir of
ext4 filesystems on a 64-bit host" work to match Linus Walleij's
most recent kernel patch.
+ code review (actually emptied my queue for the first time in forever):
- patchset adding some missing devices to MPS2 boards
- another round of RTH's MTE patchset (now fully reviewed and ready to go in)
- SMMUv3.2 range-invalidation support patchset from RedHat
- RTH's implementation of the kernel MTE ABI for QEMU linux-user
+ had a look at some of the lurking Coverity issues
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ fp16 support: started by working out risu patterns for all the
affected instructions so we have a means for testing the changes.
+ implemented a handful of fp16 insns; plan to back-burner this for
a little while as it's not going to be complete before we freeze
for QEMU 5.1, so work like reviewing the MTE patchset and other
for-5.1 efforts will take priority.
NB: on holiday next week

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ code review:
- a fix for an A9 global timer device bug
- imx_fec ethernet bugfixes/cleanups
- SD card emulation bugfixes/cleanups (including a CVE fix)
- sm501 graphics card minor fixes
- implementation of qemu_init_exec_dir() for OSX
- patchset adding some missing devices to MPS2 boards
- RTH's v7 MemTag emulation series (this was a big one, took most of
a couple of days to work through)
+ sent docs patch deprecating our tilegx port
+ discussion about what exactly target code has to do
for icount support; wrote some patches to remove some 'gen_io_end()'
calls that turn out to be no-longer-necessary
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ completed the neon decodetree conversion and sent the last batch
of patches out for review; plan to start on fp16 support next
NB: have recorded my maintainership work under the old VIRT-65
for now; not yet clear when/which jira issue to use in the new UM-*
hierarchy.

+ Good progress with the neon decodetree conversion this week -- now feels
like it's nearly done. Wrote and sent out another couple of patchsets for
review. The only remaining insns to convert are the 2-reg-misc grouping.
Have made a start on that; hope to get the final part of the conversion
out for review next week.

[VIRT-339 # ARMv8.5-BTI, Branch Target Identification ]
Updated to match the latest kernel for-next/bti-user branch; I hope this is
going to be merged for 5.7.
Posted v9 for review.
[VIRT-349 # QEMU SVE2 Supprt ]
More RISU work to improve support for SVE. Stephen Long has posted some sve2
risu patterns that need reviewing, and I plan to test all of that next week vs
ArmIE.
I had a start on rebasing my current sve2 patch set on master, with lots of
prereqs merged. But stopped in the middle because I realized that I wanted to
get all of the RISU work done first, so that I can test each patch as it is
updated.

PS: Out all next week on holiday.
Progress:

comments and sent a v2
