2013-06-25 20:20:05 Michael Reed description Currently there is no support for Arm/a15 support using kvm-ok. Currently when I run kvm-ok I get the following output: INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used Currently there is no support for Arm support using kvm-ok. Currently when I run kvm-ok I get the following output: INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used

Currently when I run kvm-ok I get the following output: INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used Currently there is no support for Arm support using kvm-ok. Currently when I run kvm-ok I get the following output: INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be used [FFe] We have ARM KVM support in the kernel, and now expect real A-15 server hardware to ship during the 13.10 cycle. So I think this bug has changed from hypothetical to real now. The patch is relatively small. Testing: pending I suggest that we thoroughly test for regressions on the Intel side of things before uploading. We aren't changing Intel behaviour at all here - just trivially adding new code paths for ARM. I don't see how we can cause a regression for ARM here, ARM KVM support is new so it didn't work previously anyway.
