OpenBSD vmm/vmd Update [pdf]

Reyk Floeter&#x27;s paper explains more about the implementation of the userland side, vmd(8), including its privsep design and the use of pledge(2):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bhyvecon.org&#x2F;bhyvecon2016-Reyk.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bhyvecon.org&#x2F;bhyvecon2016-Reyk.pdf</a><p>OpenBSD&#x27;s vmm(4) isn&#x27;t related to FreeBSD bhyve, but Mike and Reyk were invited to talk about it in Tokyo. :-)

vmctl(8) docs don&#x27;t mention send&#x2F;receive commands.<p>Curious what exactly those do.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openbsd.org&#x2F;cgi-bin&#x2F;man.cgi&#x2F;OpenBSD-current&#x2F;man8&#x2F;vmctl.8" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openbsd.org&#x2F;cgi-bin&#x2F;man.cgi&#x2F;OpenBSD-current&#x2F;man8&#x2F;...</a>

With the current hype seeming to have moved from full VMs to containers, would there be more interest in porting Jails to OpenBSD?<p>Historically chroot and systrace have been felt to be &quot;good enough&quot; but they have in my experience been tedious to set up.

I know that this is somewhat off the topic, but does anyone have anything I can read about implementing memory managers?
