Support for accessing floating-point registers has been + added. This uses the same KPI as i386 and amd64. This will + allow for handling places where the floating-point state may be + modified, for example when calling into UEFI.

+ +

Support for the optional ARMv8 AES instructions was added to + the kernel. This makes use fo the ability to store and restore + the floating point state. Tests have shown a significant + improvement in AES performance on ThunderX hardware.

+ +

The Cortex Strings memcpy and memmove + functions have been imported into the kernel. These are + optimised implementations of these common functions.

+ +

&os; now boots on the SoftIron Overdrive 3000 using ACPI. + The needed changes for this have been submitted to phabricator + for review. This includes booting with SMP enabled, and all + currently supported devices.

+ +

Support for the Raspberry Pi 3 has been committed. Most + devices work, with the exception of WiFi and Bluetooth, as these + are attached via an as-yet unsupported SDIO bus.
