KVM necessitates from the host system a HW virtualization feature present in the CPU (VT-x for Intel, AMD-V for AMD). Being that KVM is a para-virtualization techology, the guest OS will now that it is running under virtualization. In this case, the guest OS can activate the virtio tech, which relates to access to peripherals in a para-virtualized environment. virtio will need to be activated in the guest OS kernel (Linux in our case) if KVM is activated inside QEMU. 25155 4 cristian.iorga 2012-09-13 10:33:04 +0000 Technical solution decided, architected and tested. Implementation still in progress, dependent upon approval of new kernel configuration fragments. 25505 5 cristian.iorga 2012-09-21 07:13:49 +0000 Patchessubmitted for review. 25564 6 cristian.iorga 2012-09-24 06:53:53 +0000 Fixed. 25605 7 cristian.iorga 2012-09-24 14:15:57 +0000 KVM, paravirtualization and virtio drivers are now activated in runqemu using the kvm option flag for qemux86 and qemux86-64.Host CPU features are also exported to guest OS (Yocto Linux). Usage example: runqemu qemux86 core-image-x11 kvm runqemu qemux86-64 core-image-x11 kvm 25662 8 cristian.iorga 2012-09-25 10:15:10 +0000 For testing, use the following guide: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Running_an_x86_Yocto_Linux_image_under_QEMU_KVM 25687 9 alexandru.c.georgescu 2012-09-25 13:22:36 +0000 Verified.
