[ACTIVITY] report week ending 21 Oct

[Peter Maydell]

Progress:
 * UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- Usual code review and patch handling work
- Spent a couple of days investigating a long-standing intermittent
  test case failure booting a kernel on the raspberry pi. This turned
  out to be caused by two linked bugs:
   - the test framework unhelpfully disconnects immediately from the
 guest serial console when the test ends, rather than staying
 connected until the QEMU process exits to capture all the output
   - QEMU's socket chardev loses data when the remote end closes the
 connection if the guest UART hasn't read all of it
  So the test was failing because the guest sometimes only saw
  the 'h' of the final 'halt' command the test sent...
- Investigated and fixed a regression caused by some of last week's
  reset patches. (Turns out the patch to fix it had been sent back
  in 2021 but we accidentally dropped it on the floor. Oops.)

[ACTIVITY] Report for week #42

[Thiago Jung Bauermann]

Hello,

# [GNU-796] Stabilise GDB testsuite results in the CI

- Reworked and committed Gerrit change request for jenkins-scripts
  adding a new CI job definition in tcwg_gnu-build.sh.
- Also reworked and committed another one to the same script adding a
  default manifest file if one isn't specified on the command line.

# [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging

- Implemented Luis' suggestion of assuming that if ptrace can't read the
  SVE state, then SVE is disabled (which is what gdbserver does before
  my patches). It turns out that the only situation where this happens,
  gdbserver doesn't actually care about the target description.
- Started exploring/implementing Luis' idea of having a process-wide
  target description in addition to the thread-specific one. As Luis
  suggests, it may simplify the code.
