Saturday, June 25, 2011 - 08:35 Haydn Solomon

Today the first release candidate for the kvm kernel module based on the new linux 3.0 branch was released. There's nothing groundbreaking with this release. This release comes with some performance improvements and a handful of new features. The kvm kernel module is built by extracting and simply running a configure;make and make install. Below shows the changelog from the official announcement.

Major KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.39:

  • improved emulator correctness (segment checks, nested SVM intercepts)
  • 16-byte MMIO
  • Via CPU feature support
  • virtual TSC rate for newer AMD processors
  • performance improvements

kvm-kmod changes:

  •  renamed submodule ('linux-2.6' was no longer appropriate)

You can download this latest release at the following link:  kvm-kmod-3.0-rc4
