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. endmenu
