- Runs of the test-suite seem much more stable now, in this version
of QEMU. (bsc#1203610) We are also fine re-enabling running them
in parallel.
- Switch QEMU Linux user to emulate the same CPU as the one of the
host by default. This is a bit conrtoversial and tricky, when
thinking about system emulation/virtualization. But for linux-user,
it should be just fine. (bsc#1203684)
* Patches added:
linux-user-use-max-as-default-CPU-model-.patch
- Be less verbose when packaging documentation. In fact, with just
a couple of (minor) re-arrangements, we can get rid of having to
list all the files all the time
- Package /etc/qemu/bridge.conf as '%config(noreplace). Next step
will probably be to move it to /usr/etc/qemu (bsc#1201944)
- Switch to %autosetup for all products (this required some changes
in update_git.sh)
- Run check-qtest sequentially, as it's more reliable, when in OBS
- Build with libbpf, fdt and capstone support
- Drop the patch adding our support document, and deal with that
in the spec file directly
* Patches dropped:
doc-add-our-support-doc-to-the-main-proj.patch

Some notable changes:
* [x86] Support for architectural LBRs on KVM virtual machines
* [x86] The libopcode-based disassembler has been removed. Use
Capstone instead
* [LoongArch] Add initial support for the LoongArch64 architecture.
* [ARM] The emulated SMMUv3 now advertises support for SMMUv3.2-BBML2
* [ARM] The xlnx-zynqmp SoC model now implements the 4 TTC timers
* [ARM] The versal machine now models the Cortex-R5s in the Real-Time
Processing Unit (RPU) subsystem
* [ARM] The virt board now supports emulation of the GICv4.0
* [ARM] New emulated CPU types: Cortex-A76, Neoverse-N1
* [HPPA] Fix serial port pass-through from host to guest
* [HPPA] Lots of general code improvements and tidy-ups
* [RISC-V] RISC-V
* [RISC-V] Add support for privileged spec version 1.12.0
* [RISC-V] Use privileged spec version 1.12.0 for virt machine by default
* [RISC-V] Allow software access to MIP SEIP
* [RISC-V] Add initial support for the Sdtrig extension
* [RISC-V] Optimisations and improvements for the vector extension
* [VFIO] Experimental support for exposing emulated PCI devices over the
new vfio-user protocol (a vfio-user client is not yet available
in QEMU, though)
* [QMP] The on-cbw-error option for copy-before-write filter, to specify
behavior on CBW (copy before write) operation failure.
* [QMP] The cbw-timeout option for copy-before-write filter, to specify
timeout for CBW operation.
* [QMP] New commands query-stats and query-stats-schema to retrieve
statistics from various QEMU subsystems (right now only from
KVM).
* [QMP] The PanicAction can now be configured to report an exit-failure
(useful for automated testing)
* [Networking] QEMU can be compiled with the system slirp library even
when using CFI. This requires libslirp 4.7.
* [Migration] Support for zero-copy-send on Linux, which reduces CPU
usage on the source host. Note that locked memory is needed
to support this

meson automatically in latest version.
- Remove options --disable-jemalloc and --disable-tcmalloc
which are changed in v6.2.0.
- Update to v 6.2.0. For full release notese, see:
* https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/6.2.

- binutils v2.36 has changed the handling of the assembler's
-mx86-used-note, resulting in a build failure. To compensate, we
now explicitly specify -mx86-used-note=no in the seabios Makefile
(boo#1181775)

Update to v4.1.0. Also includes other major packaging changes as follows:
There is a new package maintenance workflow - see README.PACKAGING for details.
The sibling packages qemu-linux-user and qemu-testsuite are now created with the Build Service's MultiBuild feature. This also necessitates combining the qemu-linux-user changelog content back into qemu's. Luckily the delta there is quite small. Note that the qemu spec file is now that much busier, but added section markers should help reduce the confusion. Also qemu is being enabled for RISCV host compatibility, so some changes are related to that as well.
