This version contains my patch that adds support for the proprietary
VideoCore mailbox message for reading the kernel command line, so
patches aren't needed anymore.
If the SDL libraries are present on the system, QEMU will attempt to use
that for rendering the UI. This causes a crash when the AArch64 port
starts up with the following message:
> NSWindow drag regions should only be invalidated on the Main Thread!
Fix this by explicitly disabling SDL support.
This consolidates version information, archive's download location,
filename and SHA256 checksum into version.sh. This file is then sourced
from the port script and toolchain build script.
The version.sh script contains the following variables:
- QEMU_VERSION - Version number
- QEMU_ARCHIVE - Filename
- QEMU_ARCHIVE_URL - Full url to download location
- QEMU_ARCHIVE_SHA256SUM - The SHA256 checksum
QEMU 7.1 was released on August 30th.
Release Notes: https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/7.1
The patch 'Toolchain/Patches/qemu-cf-protection-none.patch' (or similar)
has been upstreamed so it can be safely removed.
I noticed after upgrading my machine that the QEMU is no longer building
due to GCC enabling `-fcf-protection` by default, even for targets that
don't support it.
The included patch came from the QEMU development list, but hasn't be
included in any patch releases at the time of writing.

Until QEMU patches, lets fix it on our end by patching before we build.
Previously we'd place the QEMU binaries into the architecture-specific
toolchain directory. This is a problem because the BuildIt.sh script
clears those directories which also removes the QEMU binaries users
may have built earlier. Also, the QEMU binaries are not specific to
the target architecture.
Changes since rc4:
0cef06d187: Update version for v6.0.0-rc5 release
5351fb7cb2: hw/block/nvme: fix invalid msix exclusive uninit
ffa090bc56: target/s390x: fix s390_probe_access to check PAGE_WRITE_ORG
bc38e31b4e: net: check the existence of peer before trying to pad
* Add SERENITY_ARCH option to CMake for selecting the target toolchain
* Port all build scripts but continue to use i686
* Update GitHub Actions cache to include BuildIt.sh
Added a script to build QEMU from source as part of the Toolchain.
The script content could be in BuildIt.sh but has been put in
a seperate file to make the build optional.
Added PATH=$PATH to sudo calls to hand over the Toolchain's PATH
setup by UseIt.sh. This enabled the script's to use the QEMU
contained in the SerenityOS toolchain.
Deleted old documentation in Meta and replaced it by a new
documentation in the Toolchain folder.
