Hi people, in first place congratulations for KVM, it's great. I have a question about it and about virtualization through Vanderpool in a general way, i hope you can answer me. I readed that KVM allows exceution of multiple guests inside a separate address space, the question is: can i run a guest software inside the same address space of the host? Let me explain better, i have a running kernel with an hypervisor and through vmxon/vmxrun i want to run something in the same address space, with access to the system resources/hardware as it is a 'normal' routine/process, that it's controlled by hypervisor/VMCS capabilities through vm entry/vm exit.
vmxon from kernel ->vm entry -> [kernel] routine controlled by the hypervisor/vmcs traps -> vmxoff You can see it as a some kind of kernel routines debugger (And i know that's HORRIBLE :-). From intel's vanderpool specs i found no limitations about that (i believe:), and i was thinking about working on a KVM base to implement such a thing, maybe removing things like MMU emulation and so on because we could you the 'real' in such a contest. Do you think that it's technically possible? Thanks in advance :-) Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
