[RFC 0/5] KVM: drop 32-bit host support on all architectures

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

I submitted a patch to remove KVM support for x86-32 hosts earlier
this month, but there were still concerns that this might be useful for
testing 32-bit host in general, as that remains supported on three other
architectures. I have gone through those three now and prepared similar
patches, as all of them seem to be equally obsolete.

Support for 32-bit KVM host on Arm hardware was dropped back in 2020
because of lack of users, despite Cortex-A7/A15/A17 based SoCs being
much more widely deployed than the other virtualization capable 32-bit
CPUs (Intel Core Duo/Silverthorne, PowerPC e300/e500/e600, MIPS P5600)
combined.

It probably makes sense to drop all of these at the same time, provided
there are no actual users remaining (not counting regression testing
that developers might be doing). Please let me know if you are still
using any of these machines, or think there needs to be deprecation
phase first.
