Description
In this session, discuss the options for unifying KVM API for
protected guests. What kind of APIs should/can be unified, and what
kind of APIs should allow vendor-specific APIs.
At this moment, each technology for protected guests adapts its APIs
to construct a guest and make it ready to run. APIs to debug a
protected guest when guest debugging is allowed. There are several
user space VMMs like qemu, cloud hypervisor, etc. Also, there are the
related components like VFIO etc. Although a sort of divergence may be
inevitable, it's undesirable to have unnecessary divergence. Discuss
how we casn make KVM easy for those (user space VMM and related
components) to embrace protected guests.
