We explicitly modify default-configs/aarch64-softmmu.mak to only select the 'virt' and 'SBSA-REF' machines.I really wish we didn't have to do this. Can't we e.g. *not* list all of the arm boards explicitly in default-configs, but use the Kconfig "default y if ..."? Seems like that would let --disable-tcg work as expected. One should still be able to create custom configs with e.g. CONFIG_EXYNOS4=n or CONIFIG_ARM_V4=n, correct?
But that would be different from how we handle all other targets currently...IMHO we shoud go into a different direction instead, e.g. by adding a "--kconfig-dir" switch to the configure script. If it has not been specified, the configs will be read from default-configs/ (or maybe we should then rename it to configs/default/). But if the switch has been specified with a directory as parameter, the config files will be read from that directory instead. We could then have folders like:
- configs/default (current default-configs) - configs/no-tcg (all machines that work without tcg) - configs/lean-kvm (for "nemu"-style minimalistic settings) etc. What do you think? Thomas
