using camkesvm with qemu
Hi, I am currently trying to use the camkesvm example and run it in qemu. I am currently able to compile the c162_twovm_defconfig application. However, when running, I have the following issue (see below). So, I am wondering what would be the good arguments to start the application in qemu. I noticed that the kernel/initrd image for linux are specific in a header file, I assume this is also included in the image loaded by capdl. Any idea about how to run this example with qemu and/or how to test it? Thanks!

Assuming you're on Linux, to run hypervisors in qemu you'll need to enable nested vmx. There's some basic instructions here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Document... Additionally, you can nest deeper than the two levels described in that document, but it will get *extremely* slow, so I would not recommend trying it.

The x86 VMM requires both vt-x and vt-d support. vt-x support is easy enough with qemu+kvm, but I'm not sure what the vt-d support is like. I know vmware supports emulating both vt-x and vt-d. That is the easy part though. Due to the the way CAmkES and capDL presently work all hardware resources (interrupts, memory mapped IO regions, PCI IOSpaces, etc) must all be described statically offline. For this reason I would not recommend starting with the c162 configuration, as it has many devices described all from a particular hardware board. I would suggest starting with the optiplex9020_onevm configuration, as the only additional resources specified are for additional memory. See the 'vm0_config.ram = ...' line in apps/optiplex9020_onevm/optiplex9020.camkes. This describes a list of physical memory regions of the form (paddr, n) where the size of the region = 2^n bytes.

Thanks all - it explains a lot now! Is there any paper or doc that explains how to test the VM example with an emulator or does these examples run only on the real hardware? On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 5:09 PM, Adrian Danis <adrian.danis@nicta.com.au> wrote:

No docs I'm afraid :) The thing with these examples is that the whole point of them is to describe a system that is set up with the particular hardware of the given platform. We could come up with an example description for a vmware (as it supports both vt-x and vt-d) target, but this would likely be very unstable as there is no guarantee that two slightly different versions of an emulator won't put hardware resources at slightly different locations, rendering the configuration invalid. In an ideal world we would have a tool that you run from Linux on your target machine (be it virtual or otherwise) and this scrapes the relevant hardware information and generates an appropriate default configuration. This is, unfortunately, something we simply have not had the resources to look into yet. Adrian On Thu 10-Mar-2016 12:31 PM, Julien Delange wrote:
