Project Title and description

KVM/arm64

Which members of the community would benefit from your work?

KVM/arm64 is the most deployed production arm64 hypervisor. Most users of the ARMv8 architecture directly benefit from it, among which Google, AWS, and many others.

Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source?

Yes.

Provide the URLs where it is located, or a Git repository.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm.git/

Does this project require ARMv8.2 (Yes/No/Not Sure)?

Yes. We can also benefit from later (and earlier) version of the architecture.

What infrastructure (computing resources and network access) do you need?

Let us know if you need short-term (one time) support, or if this is a request for continuous ongoing support. If possible, please identify foundations or other support organizations that can help with long-running projects.

This is a very long running project. Both Christoffer and Marc have been maintaining this project for the past 9 years, and will continue doing so for the foreseeable future, We are not interested in short-term support. We are already supported by ARM/Equinix under the "Columbia KVM/arm" banner.

Describe the continuous integration (CI) system in use or desired for this project.

Are you testing every check-in on arm64? (Would you like to?) If so, share a public URL of a CI dashboard.

Everything is CI-ed via the various Kernel-CI projects.

Are you using a hosted CI system for some or all of your existing testing?

No.

Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives.

Brag a little bit about yourself, please!

Marc is the Linux kernel maintainer for both KVM/arm64 and part of the Linux interrupt subsystem, including the ARM GIC architecture.

Christoffer used to co-maintain KVM/arm64 and works future evolution of the ARM architecture

Important reminders and logistics

Approved projects will be expected to provide credit back to Works on Arm in the form of a logo display, blog post, Twitter post, news release, or some other suitable acknowledgement.

Approved projects are subject to a 90 day review process for termination.
