Hypervisor Support
Multiple hypervisor backends are supported. See Advanced Usage for overriding the default backend.
Hypervisors added to crosvm must meet the following requirements:
- Hypervisor code must be buildable in crosvm upstream.
- Within reason, crosvm maintainers will ensure the hypervisor's code continues to build.
- Hypervisors are not required to be tested upstream.
- We can't require testing upstream because some hypervisors require specialized hardware.
- When not tested upstream, the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to test it downstream. If a change to crosvm breaks something downstream, then the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to supply the fix and can't expect a revert of the culprit change to be accepted upstream.
