lguest: the guest code
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need
VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's
5000 lines and self-contained.
Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its
hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which
it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being
worked on and other craziness.
But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball
of hair. lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts
which scream "fork me!".
This patch:
This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.
