There is work underway to rewrite the KVM driver of LibVMI: https://github.com/KVM-VMI/libvmi (kvmi branch) and now that v5 has been published, another round of updates is being prepared. There is also a dedicated kernel repository: https://github.com/KVM-VMI/kvm (kvmi branch) as well as a qemu one: https://github.com/KVM-VMI/qemu (kvmi branch) PR-s updating them are being prepared too. > > - more bugfixes and a lot of stability > > > > Still not implemented yet (even if some are documented) are virtualized > > exceptions, EPT views and SPP (Sub Page Protection). > > > > We're still looking forward to add kvm unit tests for this VM > > introspection system now that we've integrated it in our products and > > in our internal tests framework. > > ..snip..> > > > mm/Kconfig | 9 + > > mm/Makefile | 1 + > > mm/gup.c | 1 + > > mm/huge_memory.c | 1 + > > mm/internal.h | 5 - > > mm/mempolicy.c | 1 + > > mm/mmap.c | 1 + > > mm/mmu_notifier.c | 1 + > > mm/pgtable-generic.c | 1 + > > mm/remote_mapping.c | 1438 ++++++++++++++ > > mm/rmap.c | 39 +- > > mm/swapfile.c | 1 + > > Please make sure to CC linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx when posting this. > > In the meantime for folks on linux-mm, pls see https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg179441.html -- Mihai Donțu
