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.

linux-user-binfmt-P.diff [PATCH, HACK]: linux-user: handle binfmt-misc P flag as a separate exe name
A hackish way to distinguish the case when qemu-user binary is executed
using in-kernel binfmt-misc subsystem with P flag (preserve argv).
We register binfmt interpreter under name /usr/libexec/qemu-binfmt/qemu-foo-binfmt-P
(which is just a symlink to ../../bin/qemu-foo), and if run like that,
qemu-user binary will "know" it should interpret argv[1] & argv[2]
in a special way.

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.

skip-unpack-edk2-blobs.patch skip unpacking of edk2 blobs
Debian strips the blobs from qemu.orig.tar.gz so the code
fails to unpack the missing files.

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.

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.

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-array-bounds-gcc12.patch openbios: do not error-out array-bounds warning
gcc-12.2 produces an apparently wrong warning for this file:

roms/openbios/arch/ppc/qemu/init.c:400:10: error: \
array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘uint32_t[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[]’} \

Turn this particular -Werror back into warning. Gcc is apparently wrong here.

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.

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:
