From 63f3861d2fbf8ccbad1386ac9ac8b822c036ea00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 18:41:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Generic HID layer - build This modifies Makefiles and Kconfigs to properly reflect the creation of generic HID layer. It also removes the dependency of BROKEN, which was introduced by the first patch in series (see the comment). Also updates credits.

The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.
