Candidate for Virtualization Expert Group 2021 Work

Please vote priority for EG's activities before  (highest: 1 → lowest: 7)

Final decision of EG's priority should based on two perspectives:

  • If there is any volunteer in the EG to take charge of the task (most important (smile))
  • Voting results from EG members

Design and implement missing VirtIO frontend driver of high priority devices for AGLBased on the priority defined in task 2-1, design and implement the high prioritized VirtIO frontend (including define virtio driver interface) Task 2-1

follow-up actions: propose the specification to OASIS and implementation to Linux Kernel
Basically EG member's contribution

virtio-gpu 3D zero-copy

Avoid copying textures (other buffers?) between device VM and driver VM:

  • previous attempt was to eglimport textures from drivers VM
  • new attempt can be host allocation as crosvm is doing, but need to implement this in scope of pre-defined VRAM for security reasons

(OpenSynergy will contribute but expect other contribution from EG members.)
Funding/contractor(Collabora) is needed if the change to Mesa is needed.

Trustzone virtualization





François-Frédéric Ozog
Matt Spencer
We would like to get Linaro & ARM's opinion whether to start discussion about Trustzone virtualization support in AGL (we would be grateful if you can take the lead of this activity)

Note (3/29): according to Francois, there is an ongoing project inside Linaro about Trustzone sharing using pure Linux. Linaro SC decision is needed whether it can be switched from pure Linux to AGL as part of demo/contribution activity to AGL.

Design and implement reference VirtIO backend on OSS HV (KVM or Xen) Implement backend for VirtIO devices selected in the task 2-1Task 2-2

Huge workload (may be not an appropriate for AGL Virt-EG's scope) => voluntary work in KVM & Xen community maybe better

VirtIO-blk implementation with AGL on Jailhouse(GSOC Project) Implement VirtIO-blk with AGL on Jailhouse

Anmol

Co-mentor to be Jan-Simon Moeller and Alex Bennée

Mikhail reported that he could not serve as mentor due to company compliance. If it is other OSS HV (like kvm), it may be possible.


Will be taken care by Anmol (2021 GSoC Candidate)

Potential TaskTBDFrançois-Frédéric Ozog

François-Frédéric Ozog will discuss internally in Linaro to decide whether bring the discussion to AGL or not.
