supermachine-kernel-x86-64 0.7.67

Pre-built x86_64 Linux microVM kernel (minimal config), busybox, and in-VM agent for supermachine's KVM backend, bundled as xz-compressed payloads inside the crate (no network at build time). Resolved automatically per target by the `supermachine-kernel` facade; pin in lockstep with `supermachine`.

supermachine-kernel-x86-64

Pre-built x86_64 guest assets for supermachine's KVM backend, bundled inside the crate so no network is needed at build time.

You normally don't depend on this crate directly — depend on the supermachine-kernel facade, which re-exports the correct architecture's crate by target_arch. Cargo only downloads the sub-crate matching the build target, so an x86_64 build pulls only this crate, and an aarch64 build pulls only supermachine-kernel-aarch64.

What's inside

Asset Const Notes
Kernel KERNEL_BYTES Minimal-config Linux 6.12 x86_64 bzImage. MODULES=n; virtio-MMIO (+CMDLINE_DEVICES), virtio-blk, virtio-vsock, squashfs, overlayfs, ext4, 8250 console all built in.
busybox BUSYBOX_BYTES Static x86_64 busybox; the bake stages it into the agent initramfs for the overlayfs + switch_root container setup.
Agent SUPERMACHINE_AGENT_BYTES Static x86_64-musl in-VM control agent; PID 1 inside the container, serves exec/control RPCs over vsock.

There is no init-oci or smpark.ko here (those are aarch64/HVF-only): the KVM backend builds the writable container rootfs (overlayfs + switch_root) directly in the agent initramfs's generated init.

Rebuilding the kernel

See crates/supermachine-kernel/kvm-x86_64-build.sh for the reproducible minimal-config recipe. The x86_64 bzImage is self-compressed, so the config is minimized at the source to fit under the crates.io ~10 MiB cap; xz -k -9 the outputs into this directory (kernel.xz, busybox.xz, supermachine-agent.xz) to publish.
