qemu-xen (git://xenbits.xen.org/qemu-xen.git) is only supported for
|
||||
security fixes when used together with the Xen hypervisor and only with
|
||||
a subset of all the possible QEMU emulators. Specifically:
|
||||
|
||||
- network: e1000, rtl8139, virtio-net
|
||||
- storage: piix3 ide, ahci, xen_disk
|
||||
- graphics: cirris-vga, stdvga and xenfb
|
||||
- audio: sb16, es1370, ac97
|
||||
- input: Xen PV keyboard and mouse (part of xenfb), USB and PS/2
|
||||
keyboard and mouse
|
||||
- serial cards: UART 16550A
|
||||
|
||||
Core components, such as the PCI host bridge and the PIIX3 chipset, are
|
||||
supported. All devices of one the above classes, which are not explicitly
|
||||
mentioned, are not supported. For example the ne2000 network card is not
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
If you think that a specific emulated device should be supported, please
|
||||
contact the QEMU UPSTREAM maintainer and the Xen Security Team
|
||||
(security@xenproject.org).
