Native Linux KVM tool ===================== kvmtool is a lightweight tool for hosting KVM guests. As a pure virtualization tool it only supports guests using the same architecture, though it supports running 32-bit guests on those 64-bit architectures that allow this. From the original announcement email: ------------------------------------------------------- The goal of this tool is to provide a clean, from-scratch, lightweight KVM host tool implementation that can boot Linux guest images (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like QEMU) with no BIOS dependencies and with only the minimal amount of legacy device emulation. It's great as a learning tool if you want to get your feet wet in virtualization land: it's only 5 KLOC of clean C code that can already boot a guest Linux image. Right now it can boot a Linux image and provide you output via a serial console, over the host terminal, i.e. you can use it to boot a guest Linux image in a terminal or over ssh and log into the guest without much guest or host side setup work needed. -------------------------- This is the stand-alone version which does not live inside a Linux kernel tree. 1. To check it out, clone the main git repository: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/kvmtool.git 2. Compile the tool (for more elaborate instructions see INSTALL): cd kvmtool && make 3. Download a raw userspace image: wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/linux-0.2.img.bz2 && bunzip2 linux-0.2.img.bz2 4. The guest kernel has to be built with the following configuration: - For the default console output: CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y - For running 32bit images on 64bit hosts: CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y - Proper FS options according to image FS (e.g. CONFIG_EXT2_FS, CONFIG_EXT4_FS). - For all virtio devices listed below: CONFIG_VIRTIO=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_RING=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y - For virtio-blk devices (--disk, -d): CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y - For virtio-net devices ([--network, -n] virtio): CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y - For virtio-9p devices (--virtio-9p): CONFIG_NET_9P=y CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=y CONFIG_9P_FS=y - For virtio-balloon device (--balloon): CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y - For virtio-console device (--console virtio): CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y - For virtio-rng device (--rng): CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=y - For vesa device (--sdl or --vnc): CONFIG_FB_VESA=y 5. And finally, launch the hypervisor: ./lkvm run --disk linux-0.2.img \ --kernel ../../arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ or sudo ./lkvm run --disk linux-0.2.img \ --kernel ../../arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ --network virtio The tool has been written by Pekka Enberg, Cyrill Gorcunov, Asias He, Sasha Levin and Prasad Joshi.
