4 | config XEN_BALLOON |
5 | bool "Xen memory balloon driver" |
6 | default y |
7 | help |
8 | The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from |
9 | the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively |
10 | return unneeded memory to the system. |

12 | config XEN_SELFBALLOONING |
13 | bool "Dynamically self-balloon kernel memory to target" |
14 | depends on XEN && XEN_BALLOON && CLEANCACHE && SWAP && XEN_TMEM |
15 | default n |
16 | help |
17 | Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven |
18 | by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and |
19 | controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring |
20 | FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self- |
21 | ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the |
22 | 'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter. If FRONTSWAP is configured, |
23 | frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled |
24 | with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning |
25 | is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning' |
26 | kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently |
27 | large swap device should not enable self-ballooning. |
28 | |
29 | config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG |
30 | bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver" |
31 | default n |
32 | depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG |
33 | help |
34 | Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory |
35 | available for the system above limit declared at system startup. |
36 | It is very useful on critical systems which require long |
37 | run without rebooting. |
38 | |
39 | Memory could be hotplugged in following steps: |
40 | |
41 | 1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem> |
42 | where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size, |
43 | |
44 | 2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory> |
45 | where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory |
46 | could be added by writing proper value to |
47 | /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or |
48 | /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU, |
49 | |
50 | 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \ |
51 | [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done |
52 | |
53 | Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules: |
54 | |
55 | SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'" |
56 | |
57 | In that case step 3 should be omitted. |

59 | config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES |
60 | bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system" |
61 | depends on XEN_BALLOON |
62 | default y |
63 | help |
64 | Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by |
65 | other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data |
66 | is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more |
67 | secure, but slightly less efficient. |
68 | If in doubt, say yes. |
69 | |
70 | config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN |
71 | tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device" |
72 | default y |
73 | help |
74 | The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to trigger event |
75 | channels and to receive notification of an event channel |
76 | firing. |

90 | default y |
91 | help |
92 | The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share |
93 | information with each other and with the hypervisor. |
94 | For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests |
95 | may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain. |
96 | If in doubt, say yes. |
97 | |
98 | config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS |
99 | bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen" |
100 | depends on XENFS |
101 | default y |
102 | help |
103 | The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus" |
104 | under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the |
105 | xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create |
106 | the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on |
107 | a xen platform. |
108 | If in doubt, say yes. |

157 | default m |
158 | help |
159 | The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary |
160 | PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you |
161 | will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s) |
162 | you want to make visible to other guests. |
163 | |
164 | The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI |
165 | devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where |
166 | PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want |
167 | the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host. |
168 | |
169 | The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled |
170 | into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module |
171 | from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs: |
172 | xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0) |
173 | |
174 | If in doubt, say m. |

186 | This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen |

189 | To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads |
190 | said information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can |
191 | select the proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itslef as the |
192 | SMM so that other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will |
193 | not load. |
194 | |
195 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be |
196 | called xen_acpi_processor If you do not know what to choose, select |
197 | M here. If the CPUFREQ drivers are built in, select Y here. |
