Hi all, so far the Linux-based Jailhouse hypervisor [1] is only available for Intel x86 CPUs. I'm now very happy to announce that AMD is offering to sponsor the initial port of Jailhouse to the AMD64 architecture. Our resources here are unfortunately bound to different tasks, but if anyone out there with the required skills is interested in working on this project, just reply to this email or contact me and Mazda directly.
The work to be done is manageable: we basically need corresponding implementations of vmx.c and vtd.c in the current Jailhouse code base - provided our existing abstractions were done right. Someone familiar with virtualization on x86 in general and, ideally, even on AMD processors should be able to complete this task within a couple of weeks. For more details on the Jailhouse architecture and implementations, see our slowly growing Documentation folder in the source tree or simply ask on the mailing list.
