- When emulating FEAT_PAUTH, the default pointer authentication algorithm has been changed from the architected QARMA5 algorithm to QEMU's implementation-defined algorithm. This is non-cryptographic but is significantly faster, which is what most users will want. If you need the architected algorithm you can select it with the 'pauth-qarma5' CPU option, e.g. "-cpu max,pauth-qarma5=on".
- New CPU architectural features emulated:
- FEAT_XS
AVR
