About
Build virtualization solutions on top of a lightweight hypervisor, without third-party kernel extensions. Hypervisor provides C APIs so you can interact with virtualization technologies in user space, without writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). As a result, the apps you create using this framework are suitable for distribution on the Mac App Store. Use this framework to create and control hardware-facilitated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your entitled, sandboxed, user-space process. Hypervisor abstracts virtual machines as processes, and virtual processors as threads. The Hypervisor framework requires hardware support to virtualize hardware resources. On Apple silicon, that includes the Virtualization Extensions. On Intel-based Mac computers, the framework supports machines with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode.

About
Lguest allows you to run multiple copies of the same 32-bit kernel, simply modprobe lg, then run Documentation/lguest/lguest to create a new guest. I suggest you try this yourself, lguest is incredibly easy to get up and running. It's also quite useful: I can test-boot kernels with it in less than a second, or about 10x faster than basic qemu, and 100x faster than a real boot. And as it uses a pty as console, you can do things like pipe it through grep. lguest is all one big kernel patch, including the launcher. It's in 2.6.23-git13 and above. Lguest aims to isolate the guest so it cannot reach outside to the host (except for virtual devices supplied by the host of course), even if the guest is malicious. However, a malicious guest kernel can currently pin host memory (up to the amount of memory allowed to the guest). Most images are set up to create a console virtual consoles (/dev/tty0 etc), but the lguest console is /dev/hvc0.
