KVM #16

Closed xypron closed 10 years ago

xypron commented 10 years ago

Hello Robert,

I would like to use KVM on my wandboard.

Could this be added generally or would some board supported by armv7-multiplatform be incompatible to LPAE?

The config flags in question are:

LPAE (-> System Type) KVM (-> Virtualization (VIRTUALIZATION [=y])) PCI (-> Bus support) DRM_QXL (-> Device Drivers -> Graphics support) Debian uses these additional flags for LPAE: CONFIG_ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU=y CONFIG_ARM_DMA_IOMMU_ALIGNMENT=8 CONFIG_ARM_SMMU=y Best regards Heinrich Schuchardt

Hi Heinrich,

I don't believe the Cortex A9 supports kvm, unless v3.13-rcX now also includes an emulation layer for the A9's.. I'm only 100% sure the A15's has them.

Yes, i'm also planning a lpae branch for A15's, which will also have kvm enabled by default.

Regards,
