Message-ID: <47CC1E91.7050207@sintesi80.it> (raw)

Hello,

I'm interested in learning the technical details of KVM, possibly up to 
date with latest versions (KVM changes so fast!). I'm not really geared 
to development (yet), rather I would like to study its architecture from 
a security point of view.

I've searched anywhere and all I could find was some basic/marketing 
stuff, or simple white papers explaining HW virtualization. The wiki 
currently has some details, but none of them are satisfying enough for 
my needs :-)

If you're familiar with Xen, I'm looking for the KVM equivalent versions 
of the following docs:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/papers/2003-xensosp.pdf
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenArchitecture?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Xen+Architecture_Q1+2008.pdf

Does anything like that exist, or should I go the long way studying QEMU 
and KVM sources?

Thanks,

- Alessandro Sardo
