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.
Two questions:
1) How are you handling not clobbering the Guest K0/K1 registers when a
Root exception occurs? It is not obvious to me from inspecting the code.
2) What environment are you using to test this stuff?
David Daney
(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.
