I sent this out to the KVM/ARM mailing list, but figured KVM developers may be interested as well. Thanks, Christoffer ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christoffer Dall <cdall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, May 5, 2011 at 7:49 PM Subject: Goal: Cortex-A15 support To: android-virt <android-virt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> For those of you still interested in KVM for ARM, here's a short update on current activities. We are targeting the Virtualization Extensions for the Cortex-A15 architecture and currently developing on the ARM Fast Model simulator. The goal is to get some upstream ready patches under way as soon as possible. The previous code base is not dropped, and hopefully I will manage to run KVM on real ARMv7 hardware not too long after finishing the Cortex-A15 support. The KVM implementation can be followed here: http://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/git/?p=linux-kvm-arm.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kvm-a15 For those interested in contributing or just trying things out along the way, I created a new page with instructions for a development environment: http://wiki.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/wiki/KVMARM:Guides:Development_Environment Currently the monitor-hypervisor API works (although it may change slightly) making it possible for KVM to setup Hyp mode and execute code in that mode. Also some memory support is in place, and I hope to have the first completed world switch by the end of next week at the latest. -Christoffer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
