  • [$] KVM planes head for takeoff

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 06:40:08
    Virtualization places a guest system into a separate security domain,
    typically with less privileges than software running directly on the host. Increasingly, there is interest in creating multiple security domains
    within a single virtualized system as well. CPU vendors (and software
    vendors too) are implementing solutions; each of which, of course, is
    different from all of the others. KVM planes, currently under development
    by Jörg Rödel, Paolo Bonzini, and others in the KVM community, is an
    attempt to provide an abstraction layer that makes all of these features available on Linux systems; it is not a small task.
