This port represents the to-be-released version of qemu-user-static for testing prior to unleashing it upon the community at large and the package building infrastructure. Currently, it is based on the bsd-user-rebase-3.1 branch that moves the base qemu version of this work forward. The main highlight of the update to 3.1 is initial riscv64 bsd-user support, submitted by Embecosm. This version of the port is also notably no longer based on the master port, qemu-sbruno, but repocopied from it due to reusing a good portion of it. As such, it's been severely reduced to eliminate all of the bits not relevant to building bsd-user/ (including the various port options), so much of the diff is eliminating the option-enabled checks and combining them all into a single CONFIGURE_ARGS/MAKE_ARGS, along with some additional --disable-flags for things that we certainly don't need. The python2.7 version restriction has been dropped as qemu's actually supported py3+ since at least the 2.x version we have over in qemu-sbruno, A follow-up commit will also drop the version restrictions in the other qemu ports that still have it to be proactive about this stuff as Python2 reaches EOL. Q/A: * portlint: looks fine * testport: 11.3, -CURRENT; amd64 PR: 242253 Reviewed by: koobs (ports) Approved by: koobs (ports)

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
|
|
good emulation speed.
|
|
QEMU has two operating modes:
|
|
|
|
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
|
|
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
|
|
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
|
|
the PC or to debug system code.
|
|
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
|
|
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
|
|
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
|
|
cross-debugging.
|
|
|
|
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.
|
|
|
|
This port builds static bsd-user targets named like qemu-mips-static. While
|
|
still being experimental, people have already built many armv6/mips/mips64 ports
|
|
using these and, e.g., poudriere. Some notes are also here:
