I'd hoped to release the first version of virtio guest drivers with kvm-60, but that is delayed, and enough changes have accumulated. Most notable is virtio host support and Vista x64 on AMD hosts.
Changes from kvm-59: - fix compilation with older kernels (Andi Kleen) - virtio host support (Anthony Liguori, Dor Laor) - includes block and network devices - fix power management timer overflow handling - fix qemu running with older kernels - boot from scsi/virtio (Anthony Liguori) - add 1280x800 resolution to -std-vga - fix acpi sci interrupt generation - compile fixes (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon) - update ide cdrom to match qemu (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon) - fix extboot on older gcc (Christian Ehrhardt) - powerpc dcr tests (Christian Ehrhardt) - rtl8139 is now the default nic type (Guido Guenther) - acpi power button support (Guido Guenther) - powerpc testsuite harness (Hollis Blanchard) - powerpc libkvm support (Jerone Young) - bump piix4 to rev 3 to avoid slowdown reading pm timer (Marcelo Tosatti) - migration updates (Uri Lublin) - ia64 smp support in qemu (Xiantao Zhang) - fix acpi vapic page on save/restore - move x86 fpu to x86 specific header (Christian Ehrhardt) - minor shadow code simplification(Eddie Dong) - optimize pae pte updates (Eddie Dong, Eric Liu) - simplify shadow hash table indexing (Eddie Dong) - kvm_para.h compile fix (Glauber de Oliveira Costa) - dirty page tracking fix (Izik Eidus) - fix svm lazy fpu switching (Joerg Roedel) - fixes Vista x64 on AMD - only allow vmcall/vmmcall on #UD traps (Sheng Yang) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-60, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.17 upwards. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
