Make it possible to boot a versatile machine in qemu.
Boot command:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-arm -cpu arm926 -machine versatilepb \
-nographic -nic none -m 256M -monitor none -no-reboot \
-kernel zImage -dtb versatile-pb.dtb \
-append "console=ttyAMA0,115200 rootwait root=/dev/vda" \
-drive armv5_rootfs.ext4,if=none,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd0
When doing build and boot testing, it makes more sense to enable arch
vesatile, serial amba_pl011 and virtio (mmio|blk|pci) to
multi_v5_defconfig to make that boot out of the box, with a modern
virtio (mmio|blk|pci) driver. Using the above commandline. Another way
to build and boot would be to use tuxmake/tuxrun. Tuxmake [1] builds the
kernel, and Tuxrun [2] boots the kernel in qemu. Both projects uses
podman to do the build/tests inside. This makes both project a good
tool to use when finding a regression that you would like someone else
to reproduce with the exact same setup.
tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch arm \
--toolchain gcc-11 --kconfig multi_v5_defconfig
tuxrun --tuxmake ~/.cache/tuxmake/builds/3072 --device qemu-armv5

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
