New deprecated options and features

Consult the "Deprecated Features" chapter of the QEMU System Emulation User's Guide for further details of the deprecations and their suggested replacements.

68k

Alpha

Arm

  • New Aspeed machines: rainier-bmc and quanta-q7l1-bmc
  • Model for Aspeed's Hash and Crypto Engine
  • The mps3-an524 board now supports the alternate memory map (via "-machine remap=QSPI")
  • SVE2 is now emulated
  • FEAT_I8MM is now emulated (integer matrix multiply accumulate)
  • FEAT_TLBIOS is now emulated (TLB invalidate instructions in Outer Shareable domain)
  • FEAT_TLBRANGE is now emulated (TLB range invalidate instructions)

AVR

Hexagon

HPPA

Microblaze

MIPS

Nios2

OpenRISC

PowerPC

  • With recent enough guests now able to (sometimes) detect hot unplug failures on pseries machine type
  • Greatly increased maximum cpu count for pseries; it's now basically arbitrarily high - you will hit KVM or emulation limits before a fixed cut off
  • Updated ppce500 firmware image, which should fix pci support
  • Added 'pegasos2' machine type emulating the Genesi/bPlan Pegasos II board
  • 'mac99' machine now limited to 2GiB of RAM (previously it was allowed on the command line, although it probably wouldn't work properly)

Renesas RX

Renesas SH

RISC-V

  • Clenaup some left over v1.9 code
  • Documentation improvements
  • Support for the shakti_c machine
  • Internal cleanup of the CSR accesses
  • Updates to the OpenTitan platform
  • Support for the virtio-vga
  • Fix for the saturate subtract in vector extensions (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1923629)
  • Experimental support for the ePMP spec
  • A range of other internal code cleanups and bug fixes
