4config 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.
11
12config 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
29config 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.
58
59config 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
70config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
71	tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
72	default y
73	help
74	  The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event
75	  channels and to receive notification of an event channel
76	  firing.
77	  If in doubt, say yes.
78
79config XEN_BACKEND
80	bool "Backend driver support"
81	depends on XEN_DOM0
82	default y
83	help
84	  Support for backend device drivers that provide I/O services
85	  to other virtual machines.
86
87config XENFS
88	tristate "Xen filesystem"
89	select XEN_PRIVCMD
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
98config 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.
109
110config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
111       bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
112       depends on SYSFS
113       select SYS_HYPERVISOR
114       default y
115       help
116         Create entries under /sys/hypervisor describing the Xen
117	 hypervisor environment.  When running native or in another
118	 virtual environment, /sys/hypervisor will still be present,
119	 but will have no xen contents.

129	help
130	  Allows userspace processes to use grants.
131
132config XEN_GRANT_DEV_ALLOC
133	tristate "User-space grant reference allocator driver"
134	depends on XEN
135	default m
136	help
137	  Allows userspace processes to create pages with access granted
138	  to other domains. This can be used to implement frontend drivers
139	  or as part of an inter-domain shared memory channel.

150	  Shim to interface in-kernel Transcendent Memory hooks
151	  (e.g. cleancache and frontswap) to Xen tmem hypercalls.

153config XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND
154	tristate "Xen PCI-device backend driver"
155	depends on PCI && X86 && XEN
156	depends on XEN_BACKEND
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.

183	depends on XEN && X86 && ACPI_PROCESSOR && CPU_FREQ
184	default m
185	help
186          This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen
187	  hypervisor.
188
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.
