Known issues

Please use GitLab Issues to track release blocker bugs:

In v8.2.3 there's a build bug on riscv platform, causing the following error:

error: macro "KVM_RISCV_GET_TIMER" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given

This is due to incomplete backport of a fix, - previous required changes in this area are missing. The following 3 changes are also needed (all are included in v8.2.4 stable release):

  • bbdcc89678da target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_F to u32
  • 125b95d79e74 target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_D to u64
  • cbae1080988e target/riscv/kvm: change timer regs size to u64
