Use cases
− Need
to run OS in addition to Linux on the same system
− Need
to run older version of Linux
− Sandboxing
isolation – a guest kernel crash will not affect rest of system
− Fault
•
untrusted software
Other considerations
− Linux
is the hypervisor
− Performance
− Real
time / determinism

Upstream
− All
•
KVM and QEMU development will go upstream
Plans
− Current

Plan is to move to a new Linux infrastructure for doing user space I/O
called “vfio”, which includes IOMMU support.
− E6500

direct map support is preliminary-- no IOMMU support
CPU Support
Including LRAT (Logical to Real Address Translation)
− Performance
improvements
− Virtual Time in guests
− Future: Direct external interrupts, Real time, virtual machine
management
