Gunyah is a Type-1 hypervisor independent of any

trusted computing base than a Type-2 hypervisor.

Gunyah is an open source hypervisor. The source repo is available at
https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor.

Can you provide any history about the hypervisor code itself?
Was it publicly reviewed?  Has it been reviewed by anyone in
the Linux kernel community, who might have some useful input
on it?


This is Gunyah's first interaction with wider public community. Gunyah has been deployed in devices for past few generation of Qualcomm Technolgoies, Inc. (mobile) chipsets.

Thanks,
