Yegor Yefremov 64db867929 package/qemu: host-qemu does not support XOP capable CPUs
Commit 1f7efaf89f ("package/qemu: do not support x86_steamroller or
x86_core_avx2") excluded BR2_x86_steamroller from
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU_ARCH_SUPPORTS. This is still needed, but for a
different reason than AVX, and the exclusion is incomplete.

steamroller is bdver3, and what the Qemu TCG engine cannot emulate
there is not AVX, but the Bulldozer-specific XOP, FMA4, TBM and LWP
extensions. In Qemu 11.0.0 (the version we currently package) and
11.1.1, target/i386/cpu.c has:

  #define TCG_EXT3_FEATURES (CPUID_EXT3_LAHF_LM | CPUID_EXT3_SVM | \
            CPUID_EXT3_CR8LEG | CPUID_EXT3_ABM | CPUID_EXT3_SSE4A | \
            CPUID_EXT3_3DNOWPREFETCH | CPUID_EXT3_KERNEL_FEATURES | \
            CPUID_EXT3_CMP_LEG)

CPUID_EXT3_XOP, CPUID_EXT3_FMA4, CPUID_EXT3_TBM and CPUID_EXT3_LWP are
defined in target/i386/cpu.h, but are not part of that mask, i.e. TCG
does not implement them. Binaries using those instructions therefore
die with:

  qemu: uncaught target signal 4 (Illegal instruction) - core dumped

This affects the whole Bulldozer family, not only steamroller:
bulldozer (bdver1), piledriver (bdver2) and excavator (bdver4) are
equally unsupported, but were never excluded.

Use the newly introduced BR2_X86_CPU_HAS_XOP symbol, which covers all
four variants, instead of listing BR2_x86_steamroller alone. As for
AVX512, this disables gobject-introspection and nodejs, which are the
two packages needing host-qemu in user mode.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
