On the host side, where KVM is involved, a single process is created and multiple threads (multiple Linux processes but with shared mm's, fds, etc.) are created; one per virtual CPU. Now processes inside a VM is the responsibility of the VM's kernel and KVM does not explicitly manage these or have any code to manage these. > > Also I could see the mails mentioning various patches being applied to KVM. > Is it important to update the KVM each time the patch is applied?

Just pull from the kvm-arm-master branch and remember to update your qemu from the kvm-arm branch accordingly. > > > -- > Thanks & Regards > Mabel Mary Joy > > Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin > (Research Associate) > C-Lab > Raum:FU.304 > Tele: 05251-60-6110 > Heinz Nixdorf Institute > University of Paderborn > Fürstenallee-11 > 33102 Paderborn, Germany > > _______________________________________________ > kvmarm-user mailing list > kvmarm-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm-user _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm
