Title: KVM module handling different per Architecture - s390x Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hi, the Intel KVM module is build as a module, yet OTOH the s390 one is not. I asked around and we discussed, quoting the core of the discussion that I'd like to be continued here: <xnox> cpaelzer, we want kvm to be available. on x86 there are two modules depending on ones cpu features (amd vs intel vs whatever). thus cannot be compiled in, as either/or are loaded. ... <xnox> infinity, the problem on s390x was that unlike on x86 nothing would autoload the module <infinity> xnox: That sounds like a bug to take back to IBM and say "plz fix". <xnox> and it was counter intuitive for millenials like me to do $ sudo modprobe kvm; to get libvirt+qemu working [...] <cpaelzer> the place to autoload would be /usr/share/qemu/init/qemu-kvm-init that is where the others do it <infinity> cpaelzer: Yeah, that's a gross hack because there's no proper autoloading. <cpaelzer> true <infinity> cpaelzer: Since that init job only exists if you install qemu, modular everywhere would save a tiny bit of boot time on pure guests. So maybe it's worth evaluating [...] <infinity> But I'm all for kernel configs being as normalized as possible across arches. I'm not saying we "should" change anything, but since I wondered about that arch difference more people will do so as well. So we should consciously evaluate, do we want to: 1. keep it built-in as it is now 2. change it to a module and rely on qemu-kvm to load it 3. change it to a module and let IBM upstream do autoload where it is supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1657733/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
