<description>This update for virtme fixes the following issues:
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in virtme:
|
||||
|
||||
Update to 1.39:
|
||||
|
||||
* The most noticeable change in this release is the new Model Context
|
||||
Protocol (MCP) server. This feature lets you connect with AI
|
||||
assistants such as Claude, Cursor, etc., and use natural human
|
||||
language to automate kernel development tasks.
|
||||
In this way, AI agents can automatically configure kernels, apply
|
||||
patches from lore.kernel.org, and run commands within recompiled
|
||||
kernels. You can even have the AI agent perform bug bisection for
|
||||
you and run specific commands/scripts inside each recompiled
|
||||
version to determine whether the kernel is good or bad.
|
||||
* An additional feature is vCPU pinning (using the --pin CPU_LIST option),
|
||||
which enables binding virtual CPUs to particular physical host CPUs.
|
||||
This ensures more consistent performance testing within the vng guest
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
* The release also adds support for memoryless NUMA nodes,
|
||||
enablingusers to specify size=0 with the --numa argument to create
|
||||
NUMA nodes without memory. This capability can be useful for simulating
|
||||
heterogeneous architectures, where devices like GPUs are represented
|
||||
as memoryless NUMA nodes to model their CPU locality relationships.
|
||||
* Last, but not least, there's a new --shell BINARY option which lets
|
||||
users choose a different shell to use within the vng session, rather
|
||||
than using their system's default shell and a new --empty-password
|
||||
option that creates empty passwords in the vng guest, instead of
|
||||
blocking login for other users, enabling easier debugging and SSH
|
||||
access during testing.
|
||||
* Updated Python versions in CI (dropped EOL 3.8 and 3.9)
|
||||
* Various bug fixes in virtme-init
|
||||
* Enhanced documentation and README updates
|
||||
* Improved error handling and validation
