+ <body>
+ <p>On arm64, numerous cleanups and fixes have been applied to
+ the kernel. This includes fixes to exception handling,
+ asynchronous signals, ddb, and pmap. ddb has been updated to
+ better handle accessing memory that may be unmapped. The pmap
+ code was made more complete by implementng more functions as
+ needed.</p>
+
+ <p>Further work on SMP means that &os; now boots on all 48
+ cores on the Cavium ThunderX platform. This includes adding
+ support for the ARM GICv3 interrupt controllers and fixing the
+ memory mapping to be shareable between CPUs.</p>
+
+ <p>The test suite has been run on both qemu, and hardware. Most of the
+ test cases are passing, with around 30 tests either broken or failing.
+ Work on diagnosing the issues with the remaining test cases is ongoing.
