Native Linux KVM tool v2Native Linux KVM tool v2Posted Jun 15, 2011 17:07 UTC (Wed) by lkundrak (subscriber, #43452)Parent article: Native Linux KVM tool v2 I don't quite understand this -- it is a userspace tool, how are they going to merge that into 3.1 kernel?

Native Linux KVM tool v2 Posted Jun 15, 2011 17:10 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] I suspect it will go under tools/, right next to perf.

the announcement itself refers to tools/kvm so i guess that'll be the place.
Native Linux KVM tool v2 Posted Jun 16, 2011 12:27 UTC (Thu) by mingo (subscriber, #31122) [Link] Correct, and note that tools/ is already hosting half a dozen utilities in the v3.0 kernel source: $ ls -l tools/ drwxrwxr-x 2 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-09 13:38 firewire drwxrwxr-x 11 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-16 13:26 perf drwxrwxr-x 4 mingo mingo 4096 2011-05-30 10:23 power drwxrwxr-x 2 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-16 09:27 slub drwxrwxr-x 3 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-16 09:27 testing drwxrwxr-x 2 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-16 09:27 usb drwxrwxr-x 4 mingo mingo 4096 2011-06-16 09:38 virtio

Ingo has made it pretty clear that he wants to move a bunch of userspace packages/tools into the kernel. There was an LWN article about a thread along these lines but the closest I can find at the moment is http://lwn.net/Articles/437114/
Native Linux KVM tool v2 Posted Jul 12, 2011 18:52 UTC (Tue) by Auders (subscriber, #53318) [Link] <pedantic>You mean the kernel tree. Calling it the kernel was what confused the OP. </pedantic>
