Gunyah is an open-source Type-1 hypervisor, that is currently supported on ARM64
architecture. Source code for it can be obtained from:
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.
This patch series adds support for Gunyah hypervisor via a new
accelerator option, 'gunyah'. This patch series is based on the Linux kernel's
Gunyah driver, which is being actively developed and not yet merged upstream
[1].
This patch series is thus *NOT YET READY* for merge. Early version of this patch
is being published to solicit comments from Qemu community.
This patch has been tested with the open-source version of Gunyah hypervisor.
Instructions to build hypervisor and test this patch are provided in this
patch series.
Limitations:
1) SMP is not yet supported. This restriction will be removed in the next
version
of this patch series.
2) virtio-pci is not yet supported. hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c seems to support only
KVM and would need changes to support other hypervisors. If there is any ongoing
work in this regard, would like to build upon it and add support for Gunyah
hypervisor.
