+ <body>
+ <p>bhyve is a hypervisor that runs on the &os;/amd64
+ platform. At present, it runs &os; (8.x or later), Linux
+ i386/x64, OpenBSD i386/amd64, and NetBSD/amd64 guests. Current
+ development is focused on enabling additional guest operating
+ systems and implementing features found in other hypervisors.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for AMD processors was committed to -CURRENT in
+ October 2014. This has also been merged to 10-STABLE and will be
+ included in the 10.2 release.</p>
+
+ <p>A bhyve status update presentation was done at the FreeBSD
+ Vendor Summit in Nov 2014. The slides are available at <url
+ href="http://people.freebsd.org/~neel/bhyve/bhyve_update_vendor_summit_2014.pdf">
+ http://people.freebsd.org/~neel/bhyve/bhyve_update_vendor_summit_2014.pdf</url>.</p>
+
+ <p>A number of improvements have been made to bhyve this quarter:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>OpenBSD/i386 guests are now able to boot with multiple vcpus.</li>
+
+ <li>NetBSD/amd64 guests are now fully supported.</li>
+
+ <li>Improvements to the AHCI emulation to be more resilient
+ under heavy load.</li>
+
+ <li>Various improvements to PIC emulation to be able to boot
+ legacy guests.</li>
+
+ <li>A fully featured RTC device emulation that allows
+ date/time changes by the guest and supports periodic and alarm
+ interrupts.</li>
+
+ <li>Consolidate all timer emulations in vmm.ko. This enables
+ the use of a single clocksource for all timer emulations.</li>
+
+ <li>Allow tracing of every exception incurred by a guest.
+ This is useful when debugging guest double and triple faults.</li>
+
+ <li>Emulate platform-specific MSRs accessed by recent Linux
+ guests.</li>
+
+ <li>Various bug fixes to grub-bhyve to boot OpenBSD/i386 and
+ Centos 4.x guests.</li>
+
+ <li>grub-bhyve is now able to connect to an nmdm(4) console
+ using the <tt>--cons-dev</tt> option.</li> </ul>
