by Xu, Terrence
Hi all,
We are pleased to release the Intel GVT-g ISO which contains all the 2017-Q2 updates for both KVMGT and XenGT. The setup guide is embedded in ISO, please refer to README file for more details.
This update consists of:
- GVT-g upgraded to new architecture which has been upstreamed from kernel 4.10.
- Supported server platforms: Intel(r) Xeon(r) E3_v4 and E3_v5 with Intel Graphics processor.
- Supported client platforms: Intel(r) Core(tm) 5th generation (code name: Broadwell) and 6th generation (code name: Skylake).
- Validated Guest OS: Windows7 32bit, Window7 64bit, Windows8.1 64bit, Windows10 64bit and Linux.
- GVT-g only supports remote display not local display by this release.
- Remote protocol: only guest-side remoting protocol is supported, host-side remoting connection like SPICE is working in progress. For example, user can use X11VNC for Guest Linux VM or TightVNC for Guest Windows VM.
KVMGT specific:
- QEMU version upgraded to 2.9 from 2.3 (There is no any specific code changes in QEMU for KVMGT, so people could directly use upstream QEMU as an alternative).
XenGT specific:
- Xen version upgraded to 4.9 from 4.6.
- QEMU version upgraded to 2.9 from 2.3.
Refer to Q2'17 KVMGT and XenGT release notes for more details.

Unable to create vGPUs with most graphics settings (No space left on device)
by Michael Meyer
Hi there,
I've been experiencing some unexpected & unexplainable behavior with KVMGT.
To quickly get this out of the way, here are the specifications of my test
machine:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v6 @ 3.70GHz
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSZ-F
Memory: 64GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC (4 x CT16G4DFD8213)
Operating System: Fedora 26 running the latest gvt-staging kernel (commit
22b5c54), libvirt 3.5.0, qemu 2.9.0
Kernel Parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.13.0-0.rc1.git4.1.gvt3.fc26.x86_64
root=UUID=46e270c9-f105-402b-93fd-2359ba1cf895 ro rhgb quiet
i915.enable_gvt=1 i915.disable_display=1 kvm.ignore_msrs=1 drm.debug=0x3f
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
The problem essentially boils down to this: available_instances in sysfs
tells me I can create X number of vGPUs, but when I go to create one, I get
a "No space left on device" error. For example:
[root@testbox ~]# cat
"/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/mdev_supported_types/i915-GVTg_V5_4/available_instances"
7
[root@testbox ~]# echo "0e512b8a-6902-11e7-b73c-0cc47a9b4b51" >
"/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/mdev_supported_types/i915-GVTg_V5_4/create"
-bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
[root@testbox ~]# cat
"/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/mdev_supported_types/i915-GVTg_V5_4/description"
low_gm_size: 128MB
high_gm_size: 512MB
fence: 4
resolution: 1920x1200
weight: 4
As I plan to run Windows on these boxes, my focus is on type 4 vGPUs, but
the same problem also affects the other vGPU types (1, 2, and 8).
Thankfully my motherboard's firmware utility allows me to tweak a lot of
values (like aperture size, gtt, pre-allocated memory, etc), so I was able
to run a bunch of tests and put together a table:
https://docs.google.com/a/meyer.io/spreadsheets/d/1_2fDLs8qqr5My_OLf20HqO...
I have also uploaded my kernel's dmesg to pastebin:
https://pastebin.com/arGSpgGi. The settings on the machine for this test
were 2048MB Aperture, 2MB GTT, 0MB Pre-Allocated, and 'MAX' Total IGFX
Memory.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist in debugging :-)

How to create igvt-g guestos questions
by 이희준
After completing kernel and qemu build tasks, I create guest os .. Now I am
creating and testing as virt-manager
If it does not work, please use qemu-system-x86_64 command.
For guest so created with virt-manager, the display adapter is recognized
as a standard VGA graphics adapter or a Microsoft default display adapter

I have a question about Intel gvt-g
by 이희준
I want to build gvt-g in Intel (R) core i7-6700k environment with internal
PC environment
I also built it with kernel 4.11 and qemu 2.9
Guest OS is windows 10 pro 64 bit
However, after booting the guest OS, only one device is visible in Device
Manager -> Display Adapters
The provided documentation states that two devices should be visible.
I would appreciate any documents or materials that might be helpful.

To boot Xen hypervisor from UEFI shell in MinnowBoard
by Asharaf Perinchikkal
Hi All,
This is regarding setting up xen hypervisor in MinnowBoard Turbot Quad-Core board with Ubuntu 16.04 as host machine.
I have installed xen 4.9.0 in MinnowBoard and the link [ https://www.linuxfoundation.org/announcements/new-features-xen-project-49... ] says about New Features in Xen Project 4.9 Provide Better Usability in Automotive and Embedded
Additional new features and Improvements to existing functionality include:
* Boot Xen on EFI platforms using GRUB2 (x86): from Xen Project 4.9 and GRUB2 2.02 onwards, the Xen Project Hypervisor can be booted using the multiboot2 protocol on legacy BIOS and EFI x86 platforms. Partial support for the multiboot2 protocol was also introduced into network boot firmware (iPXE). This makes the Xen Project boot process much more flexible; boot configurations can be changed directly from within a bootloader (without having to use text editors) and boot configurations are more portable across different platforms.
Could you please help me to boot xen from MinnowBoard UEFI shell?
I am expecting answers for my below queries also.
1) How to Enable Intel VT in UEFI Firmware of MinnowBoard?.
2) How i can get grub menu to select boot option ubuntu with xen hypervisor from UEFI shell?.
Expecting your support.
Regards
Asharaf P
