[PATCH 00/18] KVM/MIPS32: Support for the new Virtualization ASE (VZ-ASE)

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

 



The following patch set adds support for the recently announced virtualization
extensions for the MIPS32 architecture and allows running unmodified kernels in
Guest Mode.

For more info please refer to :
	MIPS Document #: MD00846
	Volume IV-i: Virtualization Module of the MIPS32 Architecture

which can be accessed @: http://www.mips.com/auth/MD00846-2B-VZMIPS32-AFP-01.03.pdf

The patch is agains Linux-3.10-rc1.

KVM/MIPS now supports 2 modes of operation:

(1) VZ mode: Unmodified kernels running in Guest Mode.  The processor now provides
    an almost complete COP0 context in Guest mode. This greatly reduces VM exits.

(2) Trap and Emulate: Runs minimally modified guest kernels in UM and uses binary patching
    to minimize the number of traps and improve performance. This is used for processors
    that do not support the VZ-ASE.
