# v0.8.0
|
||||
|
||||
This release has been tracked through the [0.8.0 project](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/projects/10).
|
||||
|
||||
Highlights for `cloud-hypervisor` version 0.8.0 include:
|
||||
|
||||
### Experimental Snapshot and Restore Support
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes the first version of the snapshot and restore feature.
|
||||
This allows a VM to be paused and then subsequently snapshotted. At a later
|
||||
point that snapshot may be restored into a new running VM identical to the
|
||||
original VM at the point it was paused.
|
||||
|
||||
This feature can be used for offline migration from one VM host to another, to
|
||||
allow the upgrading or rebooting of the host machine transparently to the guest
|
||||
or for templating the VM. This is an experimental feature and cannot be used on
|
||||
a VM using passthrough (VFIO) devices. Issues with SMP have also been observed
|
||||
(#1176).
|
||||
|
||||
### Experimental ARM64 Support
|
||||
|
||||
Included in this release is experimental support for running on ARM64.
|
||||
Currently only `virtio-mmio` devices and a serial port are supported. Full
|
||||
details can be found in the [ARM64 documentation](docs/arm64.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Support for Using 5-level Paging in Guests
|
||||
|
||||
If the host supports it the guest is now enabled for 5-level paging (aka LA57).
|
||||
This works when booting the Linux kernel with a vmlinux, bzImage or firmware
|
||||
based boot. However booting an ELF kernel built with `CONFIG_PVH=y` does not
|
||||
work due to current limitations in the PVH boot process.
|
||||
|
||||
### Virtio Device Interrupt Suppression for Network Devices
|
||||
|
||||
With `virtio-net` and `vhost-user-net` devices the guest can suppress
|
||||
interrupts from the VMM by using the `VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX` feature. This
|
||||
can lead to an improvement in performance by reducing the number of interrupts
|
||||
the guest must service.
|
||||
|
||||
### `vhost_user_fs` Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation in Cloud Hypervisor of the VirtioFS server now supports sandboxing itself with `seccomp`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Notable Bug Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
* VMs that have not yet been booted can now be deleted (#1110).
|
||||
* By creating the `tap` device ahead of creating the VM it is not required to
|
||||
run the `cloud-hypervisor` binary with `CAP_NET_ADMIN` (#1273).
|
||||
* Block I/O via `virtio-block` or `vhost-user-block` now correctly adheres to
|
||||
the specification and synchronizes to the underlying filesystem as required
|
||||
based on guest feature negotiation. This avoids potential data loss (#399,
|
||||
#1216).
|
||||
* When booting with a large number of vCPUs then the ACPI table would be
|
||||
overwritten by the SMP `MPTABLE`. When compiled with the `acpi` feature the
|
||||
`MPTABLE` will no longer be generated (#1132).
|
||||
* Shutting down VMs that have been paused is now supported (#816).
|
||||
* Created socket files are deleted on shutdown (#1083).
|
||||
* Trying to use passthrough devices (VFIO) will be rejected on `mmio` builds
|
||||
(#751).
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Line and API Changes
|
||||
|
||||
This is non exhaustive list of HTTP API and command line changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* All user visible socket parameters are now consistently called `socket`
|
||||
rather than `sock` in some cases.
|
||||
* The `ch-remote` tool now shows any error message generated by the VMM
|
||||
* The `wce` parameter has been removed from `--disk` as the feature is always
|
||||
offered for negotiation.
|
||||
* `--net` has gained a `host_mac` option that allows the setting of the MAC
|
||||
address for the `tap` device on the host.
|
||||
|
||||
