Progress: (short week, 2 days)
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ email/code review/etc catchup following holiday
+ the usual run of admin work for the release process for rc2
+ investigated a problem where in 'icount' mode we weren't
firing timer interrupts in a timely manner; with assistance
from Paolo, tracked down the cause and sent a patch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1754038)
+ investigated a problem with v7M emulation reported by the LITE team;
this turned out to be a combination of a known limitation combined
with a badly worded warning message; sent QEMU patch which rewords
the message so it's clearer that it's telling you that you're running
into the limitation.
+ tracked down why aarch64 guest binaries run in icount mode on
a 32-bit host misbehave; I have a working but slightly ugly patch
which I'll send out next week unless somebody has a neater approach
thanks
