Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - Softfreeze this week, so a lot of pull request handling, and one last small arm pullreq to put together and send out - Our Coverity Scan setup was broken (the person who usually does the builds updated his machine to a newer Fedora which broke the tool). I pulled up an old patchset I had from a year ago which scripts things so you can do a build-and-upload automatically via Docker so that we're not dependent on one person for this. This took longer than I expected as there were a bunch of things that needed fixing both in the scripting and in bits of the codebase that the tools warned about. Patch series sent. - When we did get a Coverity run through, it reported 112 new issues; spent some time going through and triaging them (lots of false positives but also lots of real bugs) and submitting patches for some of them. * VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions] - sketched out the work required and created some 'story' level cards to go under the epic. Still open questions: + should we model Cortex-M55 or a more generic 'max' CPU? + what board model do we want to use? + does LITE have any guest code using v8.1M features for testing?
Random notes: * my new desk chair and standing desk arrived this week (the latter still needs assembling...) so I am gradually improving the rough edges of my WFH setup.
