With increasing interest in non-x86 architectures (e.g. ARM64, POWER8),
there is a growing desire to execute legacy x86 applications that cannot
be recompiled on these new architectures.
This series enables 3D multimedia applications (e.g. games) to function
correctly on an emulated x86_64 host in user mode. It resolves several
issues noted within the x86_64 user mode, and adds 3D ioctls for Intel
and AMD graphics. Furthermore, it adds ALSA sound ioctls.
NOTE: The initial DRM ioctl patch was taken from the qemu mailing list:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-09/msg02405.html
Aaditya Chandrasekhar Azad (1):
This patch adds initial user-virtualization support for the DRM (type
'd') IOCTLs in linux. With it and a corresponding architecture
chroot (say aarch64), I am able to successfully run a few 2D and
3D applications with native graphics acceleration. Some
notes/caveats are:
Timothy Pearson (6):
Add initial x86_64 signal handlers
QEMU does not currently support host pages that are larger than
guest pages, likely due to glibc using fixed mmap requests.
Pass select() arguments directly to do_select() on x86 platforms
TIOCGPTN and related terminal control ioctls were not converted to
the guest ioctl format on x86_64 targets. Convert these ioctls
to enable terminal functionality on x86_64 guests.
Add radeon DRM interface ioctls
Add ALSA ioctls
