* manuals: Updates to reflect that MACHINE defaults to qemux86-64Mark Asselstine2020-03-111-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | meta-yocto commit 69ddecdb1516 [local.conf.sample: change default MACHINE to qemux86-64] switched the default MACHINE from 'qemux86' to 'qemux86-64' but some documents which either explicitly mentioned the default, or where this was implicit didn't receive an equivalent update. Where it made sense we continue this change in default to the docs. In other places, such as the kernel-dev manual, we note the new default and instruct the user how to switch back to 'qemux86'. Eventually we should probably update the kernel-dev manual to use the default, but for now the intention was to limit the impact of these changes. Note that ext3 has also been replaced with ext4 for image generation, so while we are modifying runqemu lines to qemux86-64 we also make the change to reference ext4 such that the runqemu commands will function properly.

* dev-manual: New section in QEMU for workaround under KVMMartin Kelly2018-05-241-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As suggested in a recent mail thread by Martin Jansa, there are cases in which QEMU under KVM will crash because of CPU feature incompatibilities between compiled binaries and the host CPU under which qemu is run. Although this is hard to fully escape, we should document the issue to help people work around it. I have taked Martin's suggested patch and did some rewording for the new section.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Moved QEMU info from ref-manual to dev-manualScott Rifenbark2018-02-141-7/+351
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #12370] The QEMU information in the ref-manual "using" chapter has been moved to the dev-manual's chapter 5, which is a dedicated QEMU chapter. Some information is reference and that is why I had it separated out into the reference manual. However, pressures are mounting to get that stuff out of the ref-manual and into the dev-manual. So, it has been moved.

* dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changesScott Rifenbark2017-09-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed. The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied to wic images.
