Phoronix: KVM For Linux 4.16 Brings AMD SEV, Exposing More AVX-512 Features To Guests

The Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) updates have finally been submitted for the Linux 4.16 kernel, which were delayed due to an illness by the subsystem's maintainer...

I has been waited more than a year for that, maybe two years. Finally...

How the performance compared to native? Do you haz benchmarks?

That is the script I made to launch the VM w/ passthrough + dmabuf and bridged networking. The syntax code coloring is within the gedit text editor. The black window with white text is the terminal.

It works but there are some occasional stability issues, so more baking is needing before going full upstream.

Yes I did run some benchmarks with Unigine Tropics so far:
