<p>bhyve is a hypervisor that runs on the &os;/amd64
|
||||
platform. At present, it runs &os; (8.x or later), Linux
|
||||
i386/x64, OpenBSD i386/amd64, and NetBSD/amd64 guests. Current
|
||||
development is focused on enabling additional guest operating
|
||||
systems and implementing features found in other hypervisors.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Support for AMD processors was committed to -CURRENT in
|
||||
October 2014. This has also been merged to 10-STABLE and will be
|
||||
included in the 10.2 release.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A bhyve status update presentation was done at the FreeBSD
|
||||
Vendor Summit in Nov 2014. The slides are available at <url
|
||||
href="http://people.freebsd.org/~neel/bhyve/bhyve_update_vendor_summit_2014.pdf">

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>A number of improvements have been made to bhyve this quarter:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>OpenBSD/i386 guests are now able to boot with multiple vcpus.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>NetBSD/amd64 guests are now fully supported.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Improvements to the AHCI emulation to be more resilient
|
||||
under heavy load.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Various improvements to PIC emulation to be able to boot
|
||||
legacy guests.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>A fully featured RTC device emulation that allows
|
||||
date/time changes by the guest and supports periodic and alarm
|
||||
interrupts.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Consolidate all timer emulations in vmm.ko. This enables
|
||||
the use of a single clocksource for all timer emulations.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Allow tracing of every exception incurred by a guest.
|
||||
This is useful when debugging guest double and triple faults.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Emulate platform-specific MSRs accessed by recent Linux
|
||||
guests.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Various bug fixes to grub-bhyve to boot OpenBSD/i386 and
|
||||
Centos 4.x guests.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>grub-bhyve is now able to connect to an nmdm(4) console
|
||||
using the <tt>--cons-dev</tt> option.</li> </ul>
