From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:49:22 +0000 (-0700) Subject: lguest: the guest code X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~338 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=07ad157f6e5d228be78acd5cea0291e5d0360398;p=pandora-kernel.git lguest: the guest code lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's 5000 lines and self-contained. Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being worked on and other craziness. But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball of hair. lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts which scream "fork me!". This patch: This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.
