u-boot-sam460ex-fdi.patch u-boot-sam460ex: fdi fix
Fix the missing extern in a variable declaration,
resulting in this variable being repeated each time
this header is included, so the link with modern gcc
fails.

static-linux-user-stubs.diff static linux-user stubs
When building a static linux-user binaries, ld complains:

/usr/bin/ld: libglib-2.0.a(gutils.c.o): in function `g_get_user_database_entry':
warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications requires...
warning: Using 'getpwnam_r' in statically linked applications requires...
warning: Using 'getpwuid_r' in statically linked applications requires...

This is because glib, in their "misc utils" unit (gutils.c), has functions
to return current user home directory and similar stuff, and this unit is
almost always included into the link, even if these particular functions
aren't used by the application.

Ideally this should be fixed on the glib side, by splitting gutils.c into
several files, so unused symbols wont be included in the link at all.
But this requires extra efforts from glib side, and static linkage with
glib is very rare.

So just stub-out a few getpw* symbols here, - this will eliminate the
warning and will make resulting binary quite a bit smaller.

It would be nice to eliminate whole dlopen() too.

note-missing-module-pkg-name.diff Note missing module package name
Debian ships different modules in different packages.
By default qemu ignores the fact that it can not load
a module, pretending this module never existed.
Give a useful hint about the package where the module
in question resides.

This is a hack, but it makes qemu packaged in debian
more user-friendly.

qboot-Disable-LTO-for-ELF-binary-build-step.patch [PATCH] qboot: Disable LTO for ELF binary build step
If LTO is enabled by default qboot fails to link as it exposes
a few issues that break the build:

../code16.c: Assembler messages:
../code16.c:37: Error: redundant addr32 prefix
../code16.c:27: Error: redundant addr32 prefix
../code16.c:18: Error: redundant addr32 prefix

Until fixed suppress this behavior by adding -fno-lto to the end
of the linker flags.		 Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com> yes upstream https://gitlab.com/bonzini/qboot/-/merge_requests/32 2022-07-06
u-boot-sam460ex-build.patch u-boot-sam460ex: build fixes
Fixes or works around numerous build issues and one real bug.

Most are due to new defaults in gcc (in debian), like
-Werror=implicit-function-declarations (there are a lot of missing decls)
-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types (function types mismatches)
-Werror=int-conversion (free int <=> pointer conversion)

openbios-use-source_date_epoch-in-makefile.patch roms/openbios: Use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in Makefile.
Embedding the build time breaks reproducibility. Instead, use the date
specified by the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable:

https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/

This patch relies on features of GNU date, and will need further
changes for portability to other systems.		 Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@reproducible-builds.org> no 2020-06-21
seabios-hppa-use-consistent-date-and-remove-hostname.patch roms/seabios-hppa: Use consistent date and remove hostname.
Two issues break reproducibility; the time and hostname get embedded
in the resulting seabios binary.

Simply drop the hostname from the embedded version string, as it
shouldn't be needed in Debian package builds.

Use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to set the build date
rather than the current time:

slof-remove-user-and-host-from-release-version.patch roms/SLOF/Makefile.gen: Remove user and host from release version.

block-curl-fix-curl-internal-handles-handling.patch block/curl: fix curl internal handles handling
block/curl.c uses CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION to register a socket callback.
According to the documentation, this callback is called not just with
application-created sockets but also with internal curl sockets, - and
for such sockets, user data pointer is not set by the application, so
the result qemu crashing.

Pass BDRVCURLState directly to the callback function as user pointer,
instead of relying on CURLINFO_PRIVATE.

This problem started happening with update of libcurl from 8.9 to 8.10 --
apparently with this change curl started using private handles more.

(CURLINFO_PRIVATE is used in one more place, in curl_multi_check_completion() -
it might need a similar fix too)

(cherry picked from commit 606978500c3d18fb89a49844f253097b17f757de)		 Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> not-needed debian upstream, https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/606978500c3d18fb89a49844f253097b17f757de 2025-08-24
e1000e-prevent-crash-from-legacy-interrupt-firing-af.patch e1000e: Prevent crash from legacy interrupt firing after MSI-X enable
A race condition between guest driver actions and QEMU timers can lead
to an assertion failure when the guest switches the e1000e from legacy
interrupt mode to MSI-X. If a legacy interrupt delay timer (TIDV or
RDTR) is active, but the guest enables MSI-X before the timer fires,
the pending interrupt cause can trigger an assert in
e1000e_intmgr_collect_delayed_causes().

This patch removes the assertion and executes the code that clears the
pending legacy causes. This change is safe and introduces no unintended
behavioral side effects, as it only alters a state that previously led
to termination.

- when core->delayed_causes == 0 the function was already a no-op and
remains so.

- when core->delayed_causes != 0 the function would previously
crash due to the assertion failure. The patch now defines a safe
outcome by clearing the cause and returning. Since behavior after
the assertion never existed, this simply corrects the crash.

hw-vfio-user-add-x-pci-class-code.patch hw/vfio-user: add x-pci-class-code

seabios-hppa-remove-acpi.patch seabios-hppa: remove ACPI
hppa does not have ACPI. Yet, seabios-hppa contains the ACPI
code, and creates and embeds ACPI tables. Which, strictly
speaking, requires (re)compilation of the provided source.

Instead of building ACPI tables with iasl, drop ACPI support
from the resulting seabios-hppa.
