qemu-kvm is a generic and open source virtualizer. qemu-kvm achieves
|
|
near native performances by leveraging the kvm-kmod modules and
|
|
executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. Slackware provides
|
|
pre-built 32/64 bit x86 kvm-kmod modules or you can build different
|
|
versions with the kvm-kmod package.
|
|
|
|
While qemu-kvm can virtualize many system guest types (e.g. alpha, arm,
|
|
i386, ppc, x86_64, s390, sparc), not all these system guest types utilize
|
|
the kvm-kmod modules. For those system guest types that don't utilize
|
|
the kvm-kmod modules, it is recommended to use the qemu package instead
|
|
of this qemu-kvm package.
|
|
|
|
The qemu-kvm SlackBuild renames the primary binary from 'qemu-system-
|
|
x86_64' to 'qemu-kvm' so that the qemu SlackBuild won't overwrite it
|
|
if both packages are installed on the same host system. The qemu-kvm
|
|
SlackBuild patches the installed udev rules so that you no longer are
|
|
required to use the system group 'kvm' as the default. The 'users'
|
|
group is set as the default in this SlackBuild. If you want to use a
|
|
different group, then run the SlackBuild like this:
|
|
KVMGROUP=group sh qemu-kvm.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to load the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' module (depending on
|
|
your processor) prior to running 'qemu-kvm'.
|
|
|
|
spice is an optional dependency.
