[Bug 1489560] Re: qemu-efi: hangs in kvm mode when built w/ gcc-5

[dann frazier]

Here's the script I used to reproduce it. Note that it is using KVM, so it needs to run natively on an arm64 system.
The trusty image I used is just a download from cloud-images.ubuntu.com. But you could just use an empty file for that since the hang occurs way before the disk would be accessed.

Title:
  qemu-efi: hangs in kvm mode when built w/ gcc-5

Status in edk2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I rebuild edk2_0~20150106.5c2d456b-1build1 in wily or sid, KVM-
  accelerated arm64 VMs hang before displaying any console output. I
  bisected this down to a change in gcc (see below).

  Note that this does not impact fully emulated instances. That is, if I
  drop '-enable-kvm' and change '-cpu host' to '-cpu cortex-a57', it
  boots fine.

  Here's the gcc changeset that introduced the issue:
