openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for virtme ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2024:0079-1 Rating: moderate References: Affected Products: openSUSE Backports SLE-15-SP5 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has 0 recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: This update for virtme fixes the following issues: Update to 1.22: * Fix potential sudo errors (in openSUSE, Fedora, CachyOS) * Propagate /proc/sys/fs/nr_open from host to guest * More robust parsing of upstream kernel versions * Small command help improvements Update to 1.21: * When running in script mode do not hang in case of kernel panic, but return the special error code 255 (this allows to automate catching kernel panics) * Redirect kernel log to stderr on the host when running in interactive mode: this allows to easily save the kernel log to a file (or pipe it to another tool), simply by runing a vng -vr 2>/tmp/kernel.log * vng --dump can now generate a memory dump compatible with drgn * It is now possible to use virtiofsd with a btrfs root filesystem on the host (e.g., default openSUSE setup) * It is not possible to to use the microvm architecture with kernels that don't have built-in virtio-pci / virtio-mmio (e.g., stock openSUSE Tumbleweed kernel) Update to 1.20: * The return code of a command executed in the vng guest is now transparently channeled to the host: this, together with stdin/stdout/stderr redirection, gives the complete illusion to run the command in the guest as if it was executed on the host and it can help to easily integrate vng with other CI tools/scripts * NUMA support: it is now possible to create multiple NUMA nodes, and assign CPUs to them, inside a vng guest, using the --numa option. * new --quiet option to override --verbose * new --disable-kvm option to explicitly disable hardware virtualization (KVM) * lockdep is now disabled by default during the kernel build Update to 1.19: * The most noticeable change is definitely the support for running virtme-ng inside Docker containers. This opens the possibility for many other projects to use virtme-ng to potentially pick any arbitrary kernel to run their tests inside their Docker instances. * The other interesting change (this one only for Ubuntu users) is the --root-release argument (used together with --root) that allows bootstrapping a rootfs from scratch, selecting a specific Ubuntu release. The rootfs will be created from the latest Ubuntu cloud image of the target release.
