-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-17446 2012-11-01 18:22:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : qemu Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.2.0 Release : 19.fc18 URL : http://www.qemu.org/ Summary : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator Description : QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation. 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. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Sync spice patches with upstream, minor bugfixes and set the qxl pci device revision to 4 by default, so that guests know they can use the new features * Fix loading arm initrd if kernel is very large (bz #862766) * Don't use reserved word 'function' in systemtap files (bz #871286) * Drop assertion that was triggering when pausing guests w/ qxl (bz #870972) * Pull patches queued for qemu 1.2.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #862766 - Hardcoded value for the initrd address overlaps the kernel address in qemu-system-arm. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862766 [ 2 ] Bug #871286 - qemu tapsets use the reserved 'function' keyword https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871286 [ 3 ] Bug #870972 - [abrt] qemu-system-x86-1.2.0-16.fc18: qxl_send_events: Process /usr/bin/qemu-kvm was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870972 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
