Hi Andre,
I follow the document https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/arm-reference-platforms.git/about/docs/basefvp/user-guide.rst, and I build a Linux-on-FVP environment successfully. However, I still cannot boot KVM, the details are as follows:
1.I make sure that two configuration files enable KVM (I guess these are the right configuration files), they are
layers/meta-arm/meta-arm-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/files/tc0/defconfig:CONFIG_KVM=y
build-poky/tmp-poky/work-shared/fvp-base/kernel-source/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_KVM=y
2.I follow the document https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/arm-reference-platforms.git/about/docs/basefvp/user-guide.rst. After building the whole software stack, I try several commands but the results show that KVM does not work. The screenshots are shown as follows[commands]I try three commands, "kvm-ok", "dmesg | grep KVM", and "grep -E -o 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo". But all of them show negative results.
I guess maybe the reason is that FVP configuration uses a KVM-unsupport CPU, but I do not know the right configuration, and the FVP documents do not mention anything about KVM.
And this is the FVP booting command in the scripts:

If you can provide any kind of help, I appreciate it very much.

Well, on ARM it's not a kernel module, but built-in to the kernel
image, but yes: You can run any normal KVM enabled kernel on
it. So just use the same recipe you would use on any other system to
run KVM guests.
Cheers,
Andre
