On arm64, numerous cleanups and fixes have been applied to + the kernel. This includes fixes to exception handling, + asynchronous signals, ddb, and pmap. ddb has been updated to + better handle accessing memory that may be unmapped. The pmap + code was made more complete by implementng more functions as + needed.

+ +

Further work on SMP means that &os; now boots on all 48 + cores on the Cavium ThunderX platform. This includes adding + support for the ARM GICv3 interrupt controllers and fixing the + memory mapping to be shareable between CPUs.

+ +

The test suite has been run on both qemu, and hardware. Most of the + test cases are passing, with around 30 tests either broken or failing. + Work on diagnosing the issues with the remaining test cases is ongoing. +
