kvm-vmi for arm

[cocoeoli]

Are there any plans to support VMI for arm(aarch32 or aarch64) platforms?

Hi there,

I have a fork of KVMi for aarch64 systems (tested on ARMv8.1-A) that supports a limited subset of operations and events such as:

• Reading / writing main memory
• Reading / writing registers
• Pause / resume events
• Breakpoint events
• Single-stepping events
• TTBR0/TTBR1 write events

This implementation is used in a paper that is currently under review. If you are interested in the source code, I can make it available to you.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hello, Thomas
Thank you very much. The platform I am using now is ARMv8.0. But I think the principle should be similar. If you can provide the source code for me to learn, it will definitely help me.

Hello Charlie,

for the source code, please see here: https://github.com/thomasdangl/kvmi-meta-armv8

Main difference to 8.0 will be missing Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE).

Hello Thomas,

I appreciate you for sharing and the link to the source code. I will take a look at it.
