We are pleased to announce the open-source release of the eXtensible, Modular Hypervisor Framework (XMHF): http://xmhf.org
tl;dr: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/xmhf/xmhf XMHF is a modular hypervisor platform for recent multicore x86 hardware with support for launching via dynamic root of trust and nested (2-dimensional) paging. It is NOT a full virtual machine monitor. XMHF takes a developer-centric approach to hypervisor design and implementation, and strives to be a comprehensible and flexible platform for performing hypervisor research and development. XMHF encapsulates common hypervisor core functionality in a framework that allows others to build custom hypervisor-based solutions (called "hypapps"). It currently supports only a single "rich" guest OS. We have tested recent 32-bit Ubuntu, and Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. Our flagship hypapp is an implementation of the TrustVisor APIs. Also included is a LockDown hypapp that implements a red/green system, the Trusted Execution Environment SDK for developing small, stand-alone application components to execute in isolation, and a credential manager application that leverages TrustVisor and the tee-sdk. Documentation is maintained in the git repository using markdown, which is automatically rendered here (scroll down): https://sourceforge.net/p/xmhf/xmhf/ Academic publications describing the design and architecture of these components are linked from the documentation page. All of the source code that we contribute is covered under a BSD-style license. The build process for some of the example PALs that run on TrustVisor statically links against the GPL-licensed 'newlib' implementation of the standard C library. See the COPYING.md file in the root directory of the git repository for more information on source code licensing. Our preferred method for getting support is to use the Discussion (forums) on the XMHF SourceForge page: https://sourceforge.net/p/xmhf/discussion/ The Tickets system houses many known issues. Please accept our apologies if you receive more than one copy of this announcement.
