Hi
Is there a way to detect if a particular machine is a VM running on KVM
hypervisor or not. i.e from within a guest can one figure out if it is running
on top of a hypervisor and not physical machine ? [For both Linux guests and
Windows guests ]
The preferred way of doing this is checking CPUID leaf 0x4000 0000 for
the signature "KVMKVMKVM".
Most hypervisors (KVM, Xen, VMware, and Hyper-V) are adopting this as
the preferred detection mechanism.
