From 0f10bf84a9d489259a5b11c6aa1b05c1175b76ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 16:59:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Deprecate TileGX port MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Deprecate our TileGX target support: * we have no active maintainer for it * it has had essentially no contributions (other than tree-wide cleanups and similar) since it was first added * the Linux kernel dropped support in 2018, as has glibc Note the deprecation in the manual, but don't try to print a warning when QEMU runs -- printing unsuppressable messages is more obtrusive for linux-user mode than it would be for system-emulation mode, and it doesn't seem worth trying to invent a new suppressible-error system for linux-user just for this.
