Note that guest time accounting, below, will only work with Linux 2.6.24+. Changes from kvm-47: - use precise cpu accounting on ppc and s390 (Christian Borntraeger) - make guest time accounting actually work (Laurent Vivier) - fix host memory corruption when setting the guest dirty bit - allow swapping with older userspace (Anthony Liguori) - allow custom memory setup using libkvm (Gerd Hoffmann) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-48, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
