Kconfig
menu "Xen driver support"
depends on XEN
config XEN_BALLOON
bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
default y
help
The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
return unneeded memory to the system.
config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
depends on XEN_BALLOON
default y
help
Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
secure, but slightly less efficient.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
default y
help
The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event
channels and to receive notification of an event channel
firing.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XENFS
tristate "Xen filesystem"
default y
help
The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
information with each other and with the hypervisor.
For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
depends on XENFS
default y
help
The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
a xen platform.
If in doubt, say yes.
config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
depends on SYSFS
select SYS_HYPERVISOR
default y
help
Create entries under /sys/hypervisor describing the Xen
hypervisor environment. When running native or in another
virtual environment, /sys/hypervisor will still be present,
but will have no xen contents.
