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.</p> + + <p>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.</p> + + <p>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. + </p> + </body> + + <sponsor> + The FreeBSD Foundation + </sponsor> + + <sponsor> + ABT Systems Ltd + </sponsor> + + <help> + <task> + <p>Port to more SoCs.</p> + </task> + </help> + </project> + </report>
