Cross Platform Action 1.5.0

Changed

• NetBSD images download around 45% smaller -- 11.0 x86-64 goes from 497 MiB to 268 MiB -- which is most of what a NetBSD job spends on setup (#151)
• Every guest becomes usable sooner, by up to 8 seconds, because the action no longer waits on a readiness probe it sent before the guest was listening
• NetBSD guests are logged into without a credential, so no SSH key is generated and no resources disk is built to carry one. A custom image supplied through image_url still gets both, since it may expect them

Added

• Add support for Haiku R1/beta6 (#165)
• A variant input, selecting a named configuration of a platform. Defaults to default, which boots exactly as before, so no existing workflow changes. See Variants
• The microvm variant for NetBSD on x86-64, which reaches a usable guest in roughly half the time. It is opt-in because it changes the hardware the guest sees: the root disk becomes ld0 rather than sd0, there is no PCI bus to inspect, and uname -v reports a MICROVM kernel. Asking for it where it cannot be booted is an error, not a slow boot
• Log a breakdown of how long each phase of setting up the VM took, together with how long the VM took to become reachable over SSH

Fixed

• 5-level paging (LA57) is no longer exposed to the guests on x86-64 (#158). FreeBSD 13.0 enables 5-level paging whenever the CPU reports it and panics in the trampoline that switches to it, so every job that landed on an Intel runner from Ice Lake onwards failed to boot
• STIBP always-on mode is no longer exposed to the guests on x86-64 (#158). Some of the AMD runners report it without the STIBP and IBRS bits that normally come with it, which made DragonFly BSD write IA32_SPEC_CTRL and take a general protection fault while booting

Security

• The guest's SSH port is only forwarded to the runner's loopback address. It was previously bound to every interface, making the guest reachable from anything that could reach the runner

Cross Platform Action 1.4.0

Added

• Add support for FreeBSD on RISC-V 64 (riscv64) (#36)
• Add support for NetBSD on VAX, running on the SIMH simulator
• Add support for NetBSD 11.0 (#154)
