Introduce Virtualization and Kernel Infrastructure to Newbies
summary
Explains KVM and Linux kernel basics with concrete internals: KVM’s lifecycle for creating/destroying VMs, memory slot registration and MMIO emulation, how guest memory maps to host physical pages, vCPU creation as host threads and the KVM ioctl run/exit loop, and how hardware VMCS/MSR features mediate access and exits. Covers hypervisor types (0/1/2), when to use QEMU/KVM versus full emulation, and practical pointers for getting started with QEMU/KVM and kernel module interfaces.
