- QEMU README
- ===========
-
-QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
-virtualizer.
-
-QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
-need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
-it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
-and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
-hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
-near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
-capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
-board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
-
-QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
-and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
-architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
-different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
-involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
-
-QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
-by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
-It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
-layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
-It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
-open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
-
-QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
-version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.

-
-Building
-========
-
-QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
-Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
-of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
-
- mkdir build
- cd build
- ../configure
- make
-
-Complete details of the process for building and configuring QEMU for
-all supported host platforms can be found in the qemu-tech.html file.
-Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
-
- http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux
- http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/W32
-
-
-Submitting patches
-==================
-
-The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
-
- git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
-
-When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
-format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
-qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
-a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
-guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
-
-Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
-the QEMU website
-

- http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
-
-
-Bug reporting
-=============
-
-The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
-found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
-should be reported via:
-
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
-
-If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
-is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
-the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
-reported via launchpad.
-
-For additional information on bug reporting consult:

-Contact
-=======
-
-The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
-main methods being email and IRC
-
- - qemu-devel@nongnu.org
- http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- - #qemu on irc.oftc.net
