Question

Linux kernel 3.9 support ARM processor for KVM. (http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.9)

There should be CPU H/W support for KVM such as Intel VT or AMD-V. So, my questions are:

  • What kind of ARM processors can be used for KVM?
  • What ARM technologies enables KVM on ARM?

Best Regards.

Solution

I found this information from Linux kernel commits (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=749cf76c5a363e1383108a914ea09530bfa0bd43).

  • Only supported core is Cortex-A15 for now.

And, ARM Coretex A15 provides H/W Virtualization Extension and LPAE(Large Physical Address Extension). Please see this document for more information.

I collected some related information in my blog. It's written in Korean, but you can use Google translate.
