Deprecate our TileGX target support: * we have no active maintainer for it * it has had essentially no contributions (other than tree-wide cleanups and similar) since it was first added * the Linux kernel dropped support in 2018, as has glibc
Note the deprecation in the manual, but don't try to print a warning when QEMU runs -- printing unsuppressable messages is more obtrusive for linux-user mode than it would be for system-emulation mode, and it doesn't seem worth trying to invent a new suppressible-error system for linux-user just for this. Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <[email protected]> --- We discussed dropping this target last year: https://patchew.org/QEMU/[email protected]/ and before that in 2018, when Chen told us he didn't have time to work on tilegx any more: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-03/msg03955.html Given that tilegx is no longer in upstream Linux I think it makes sense to finally deprecate-and-drop our linux-user support for it. docs/system/deprecated.rst | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/system/deprecated.rst b/docs/system/deprecated.rst index 3a255591c34..e9097e089bb 100644 --- a/docs/system/deprecated.rst +++ b/docs/system/deprecated.rst @@ -387,6 +387,17 @@ The above, converted to the current supported format:: json:{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.pool":"rbd", "file.image":"name"} +linux-user mode CPUs +-------------------- + +``tilegx`` CPUs (since 5.1.0) +''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' + +The ``tilegx`` guest CPU support (which was only implemented in +linux-user mode) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version +of QEMU.
