Re: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 0/1] RISC-V: Critical fixes for QEMU 2.12

[Michael Clark]

Hi Peter,

I had tested Richard's proper fix but we didn't have a PR or the required
Reviewed-by and Signed-off-by so I made the PR for the conservative fix,
assuming we can test Richard's more correct fix and include it in the QEMU
2.13 timeframe. I've tested Richard's fix with the simple scheduling test
case, so if he makes a PR, I'm happy for that to be included versus this
workaround. The workaround is, of course, the most conservative fix as it
will always cause FP state to be saved, assuming we missed a case in
Richard's patch.

I'll leave it up to you and Richard, but please include either this
workaround or Richard's slightly larger change in QEMU 2.12, if possible.
In any case, I believe vendors have patches they can include in their
packages... but it would be nice that upstream QEMU 2.12 has working FP for
RISC-V with SMP Linux.

Thanks,
Michael.
