KVM-PR no longer works on an X1000 if the kernel has been compiled with a new GCC.

I changed the GCC from version 12.2.0 to version 9.5.0 because of the issues with KVM on Linux PPC today. (Cross compiling environment on Ubuntu 23.04)

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gcc-9-powerpc-linux-gnu

Code: Select all

sudo apt install g++-9-powerpc-linux-gnu

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-9 10

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-g++ powerpc-linux-gnu-g++ /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-g++-9 10

I created the kvm kernel modules with the GCC 9.5.0 for the X1000 again.

Hi All,

Here is the final kernel 6.4. Thanks a lot to Skateman, Musa, sailorMH, Hypex and Trevor for testing the alphas and release candidates.

New and important for our AmigaOnes:

X1000, X5000, and QEMU e5500: Multi-Gen LRU support (CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y and CONFIG_LRU_GEN_ENABLED=y)
PASEMI updates in the PowerPC updates
PASEMI ethernet and DPAA updates in the networking updates
There are some issues with the BTTV driver for TV cards so we added the new BTTV driver originally planned for the kernel 6.5 to our kernel 6.4.
X1000: Fix ISA mapping when "ranges" property is not present, for PASemi Nemo boards

More news:

Cheers,
Christian
