# libsel4vm
A guest hardware virtualisation library for X86 (32-bit) and ARM (aarch32 & aarch64) for use on seL4-based systems.
Reference implementations using this library are:
* CAmkES VM (x86) - https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm
* CAmkES ARM VM (arm) - https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/camkes-arm-vm
For documentation on the libsel4vm interface see [here](docs/)
### Features
* Hardware virtualisation support for the following architectures:
* ARM
* ARMv7 (+ Virtualisation Extensions)
* ARMv8
* X86
* ia32 (Intel VTX)
* IRQ Controller emulation
* GICv2 (aarch32, aarch64)
* PIC & LAPIC (ia32)
* Guest VM Memory and RAM Management
* Guest VCPU Fault and Context Management
* VM Runtime Management
#### Architecture Specific Features
##### ARM
* SMP support for GICv2 (ARM) platforms
##### X86
* IOPort fault registration handler
* VMCall handler registration interface
### Potential future features (yet to be implemented)
#### Architecture Specific Features
##### ARM
* Virtual GICv3 support (aarch32 & aarch64)
* + SMP support for GICv3 platforms
##### X86
* x86-64 support (Intel VTX)
* SMP support on x86 platforms (ia32 & x86\_64)
*Note: This is a consolidated library composed of libraries previously known as (but now deprecated) 'libsel4vmm' (x86)
and 'libsel4arm-vmm' (arm).*
