menuconfig VIRTUALIZATION
bool "Virtualization"
---help---
Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run
other operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
disabled.

---help---
Support running unmodified book3s_64 guest kernels in
virtual machines on POWER7 and newer processors that have
hypervisor mode available to the host.
If you say Y here, KVM will use the hardware virtualization
facilities of POWER7 (and later) processors, meaning that
guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed
using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means
that KVM is not usable under PowerVM (pHyp), is only usable
on POWER7 or later processors, and cannot emulate a
different processor from the host processor.
If unsure, say N.
config KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR
tristate "KVM support without using hypervisor mode in host"
depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64
select KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE
---help---
Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors
without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the
guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all
privileged instructions and registers.
This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on
machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable,
and can emulate processors that are different from the host
processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit
host.
config KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING
bool "Detailed timing for hypervisor real-mode code"
depends on KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE && DEBUG_FS
---help---
Calculate time taken for each vcpu in the real-mode guest entry,
exit, and interrupt handling code, plus time spent in the guest
and in nap mode due to idle (cede) while other threads are still
in the guest. The total, minimum and maximum times in nanoseconds
together with the number of executions are reported in debugfs in
kvm/vm#/vcpu#/timings. The overhead is of the order of 30 - 40
ns per exit on POWER8.
If unsure, say N.

---help---
Calculate elapsed time for every exit/enter cycle. A per-vcpu
report is available in debugfs kvm/vm#_vcpu#_timing.
The overhead is relatively small, however it is not recommended for
production environments.
If unsure, say N.

host kernel, rather than relying on userspace to emulate.
Currently, support is limited to certain versions of
Freescale's MPIC implementation.
