Basic-Hypervisor

A basic type-2 hypervisor supporting AMD-V hardware virtualization for educational purposes. This project demonstrates how to enable AMD-V (hardware virtualization) using a Linux kernel module.

Features

• Enables AMD-V on supported AMD processors.
• Simple and lightweight kernel module implementation.
• Easy to build, load, and test.

Requirements

To use this project, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

1. AMD Processor: The system must have an AMD processor.
2. AMD-V Support: The processor must support AMD-V hardware virtualization.
3. Linux Kernel: A Linux-based operating system with kernel headers installed.

Installation

1. Install Dependencies

Install the necessary build tools and Linux kernel headers:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

2. Clone the Repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Momking/Basic-Hypervisor.git
cd Basic-Hypervisor

Usage

1. Build the kernel Module

Compile the kernel module using the provided Makefile:

make

This will generate the Init.ko kernel module.

2. Load the Module

Load the kernel module into the Linux kernel:

make load

3. Check Kernel Logs

Verify that the module loaded successfully by checking the kernel logs:

sudo dmesg | tail

4. Unload the Module

When you're done testing, unload the module:

make unload

5. Clean Up

To clean up the generated files, run:

make clean
