[PATCH v2 00/11] Drivers for gunyah hypervisor

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

 



Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor independent of any
high-level OS kernel, and runs in a higher CPU privilege level. It does
not depend on any lower-privileged OS kernel/code for its core
functionality. This increases its security and can support a much smaller
trusted computing base than a Type-2 hypervisor.

Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.

The diagram below shows the architecture.

Gunyah provides these following features.

- Threads and Scheduling: The scheduler schedules virtual CPUs (VCPUs) on
physical CPUs and enables time-sharing of the CPUs.
- Memory Management: Gunyah tracks memory ownership and use of all memory
under its control. Memory partitioning between VMs is a fundamental
security feature.
- Interrupt Virtualization: All interrupts are handled in the hypervisor
and routed to the assigned VM.
- Inter-VM Communication: There are several different mechanisms provided
for communicating between VMs.
- Device Virtualization: Para-virtualization of devices is supported using
inter-VM communication. Low level system features and devices such as
interrupt controllers are supported with emulation where required.
