create_vm
onaarch64
to create a VM fd from the KVM fd using the host's maximum IPA size.
- Support for specifying VM type (an opaque platform and architecture specific
constant) when creating a VM (
KVM_CREATE_VM
ioctl) via theKvm::create_vm_with_type
function.
- Now depends on kvm-bindings >=0.4.0 to support use of a newer vmm-sys-utils dependency.
- Support for the system API that returns the maximum allowed vCPU ID
(
KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID
). - Support for
KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP
.
- [#119]: Disallow invalid
number of cpuid entries to be passed to
get_supported_cpuid
andget_emulated_cpuid
.
- [#123]: Updated
create_vcpu
to useu64
as the parameter for the number of vCPUs.

KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG
,KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
, andKVM_GET_REG_LIST
. - Support for the vm ioctl
KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR
. - Support for the device ioctl
KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR
. - Support for
VcpuExit::Debug
. - Support for enabling vcpu capabilities using
Vcpu::enable_cap
. - Support for checking Hyper-V (
HypervSynic
andHypervSynic2
), MSI (MsiDevid
), and IPA Size (ArmVmIPASize
) capabilities. usingkvm.check_extension
. - Support for checking the VM capabilities via
Vm::check_extension
. - Create a VM with flexible IPA size using
Kvm::create_vm_with_ipa_size
.
- Removed
Kvm::new_with_fd_number
. The same functionality is offered by theKvm
FromRawFd trait implementation.
- The VM ioctl
unregister_ioevent
now correctly unregisters the events that correspond to the data match passed as a parameter. - The
SystemEvent
Vcpu Exit now also contains the relevant type and flags. - Updated
get_dirty_log
such that it does not assume the page size is 4K, but instead reads it usinglibc::sysconf
.
- Support for the vcpu ioctls
KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS
andKVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG
onaarch64
. - Support for the vcpu ioctl
KVM_IRQ_LINE
.
- Support for unregistering ioeventfds through
KVM_IOEVENTFD
.
- Functions working with event FDs now require vmm_sys_util::eventfd::EventFd in their interface instead of RawFd.
- Functions working with FAM structs kvm_msr_list and kvm_msrs, were changed to work with their respective safe counterparts MsrList and respectively Msrs.
- Now exporting kvm_ioctls::Error type definition so that users of this crate can create their own wrapping errors without having to know the Error type used internally by this crate.
- No longer exporting kvm_ioctls::Result. Users of this crate should not have to use kvm_ioctls::Result outside the crate.
- kvm_ioctls::Error now works with errno::Error instead of io::Error.
- CpuId safe wrapper over FAM struct kvm_cpuid2. The safe wrapper is now provided by the kvm_bindings crate starting with v0.2.0.
- KVM_MAX_MSR_ENTRIES and MAX_KVM_CPUID_ENTRIES. Equivalent constants are provided by the kvm_bindings crate starting with v0.2.0.

- Mark set_user_memory_region as unsafe.
First release of the kvm-ioctls crate.
The kvm-ioctls crate provides safe wrappers over the KVM API, a set of ioctls used for creating and configuring Virtual Machines (VMs) on Linux. The ioctls are accessible through four structures:
- Kvm - wrappers over system ioctls
- VmFd - wrappers over VM ioctls
- VcpuFd - wrappers over vCPU ioctls
- DeviceFd - wrappers over device ioctls
The kvm-ioctls can be used on x86_64 and aarch64. Right now the aarch64 support is considered experimental.
