hypinfo

The hypinfo area indicates the support for specific hypervisor features. The following value can be read directly from the flags field:

HYPINFO_ENABLED

When this flag is set, the hypervisor features in the QNX OS microkernel have been enabled by the startup program. For more information, refer to the startup -Q option in the Utilities Reference.

You can set and retrieve the following values from this area by using the HYPINFO_VIRT_SET() and HYPINFO_VIRT_GET() functions:

HYPINFO_VIRT_ARM

For AArch64 platforms, this value is set if the underlying CPUs support the ARM virtualization extensions (i.e., exception level 2 (EL2) is implemented).

HYPINFO_VIRT_VMX

For Intel x86_64 platforms, this value is set if the underlying CPUs support the VMX virtualization extensions.

HYPINFO_VIRT_SVM

For AMD x86_64 platforms, this value is set if the underlying CPUs support the SVM virtualization extensions.
