* Support for Aarch64 (ARM 64-bit) machines. |
|
The aarch64 port should work on many Allwinner machines, SBSA/SBBR compatible servers. |
|
It supports multiple processors, including in a big.LITTLE configuration, ACPI and UEFI. |
|
It uses a single kernel to support a large amount of boards with the help of ACPI+UEFI or FDT. |
|
* Updated graphical acceleration support from Linux 4.4. |
|
Intel graphics including Kaby Lake. Nouveau and radeon. |
|
* nvmm(4) - hardware-accelerated virtualization, currently supporting x86-SVM. |
|
a patched QEMU package exists that utilizes this. |
|
XXX make statement reflect reality at the time of the release. |
|
* KASLR - kernel address stack randomization. |
|
Note that the default kernel does not use this option. |
|
XXX maybe link for how to use it, then. |
|
* kASAN - kernel address sanitizer build option, to detect memory access violations, for x86 and aarch64. |
|
* kUBSAN - kernel undefined behaviour sanitizer. |
|
<!-- XXX kamil please list more things about micro-UBsan, MKLIBCSANITIZER, etc. --> |
