[Qemu-devel] work needed on QEMU 2.6 ChangeLog

[Paolo Bonzini]

Hi all, if you are CCed there is a feature you wrote or maintain that
needs further work in the ChangeLog
(http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.6).  In particular:

Andrew/Peter:
* New partial Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 emulation with "raspi" and "raspi2"
machine types. For now the "raspi2" machine type can boot Windows.
(FIXME: confirm)

Alex/Peter:
* TCG supports a new "-dfilter" option to limit exec, out_asm, op and
op_opt logging to a range of guest addresses (FIXME: physical or
virtual?). ARM also applies the filter to in_asm logging; this will be
extended to other targets in future releases (FIXME: probably should do
it now instead...)

Michael:
* FIXME: what's the state of nvdimm?

Daniel:
* FIXME: Support for TLS encryption in the TCP backend
* FIXME: -chardev logfile
* FIXME: qemu-io --object [...]
* FIXME: qemu-img --object [...]
* FIXME: document new secret passing system

Jason:
* FIXME: network filters?

Gerd:
* FIXME: document -input-linux when QOM-based syntax lands

Thanks,

Paolo

I've added the exact sentence you wrote above. :)

Also
 - Support for the new LUKS block device driver
 - qemu-nbd --object etc
 - Support for TLS with NBD
 - New syntax for providing passwords for iscsi, curl & rbd drivers

Yes but I wonder how to register to qemu wiki (looks like I can't
register to it myself).

AFAIK:

Linux works fine using nvdimm as memory (pmem).
Work remains to teach it to use nvdimm as storage (blk)
and to make windows guests work.
