# # KVM configuration # config HAVE_KVM bool menuconfig VIRTUALIZATION bool "Virtualization" depends on HAVE_KVM || X86 default y ---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. if VIRTUALIZATION config KVM tristate "Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support" depends on HAVE_KVM # for device assignment: depends on PCI select PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS select MMU_NOTIFIER select ANON_INODES ---help--- Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also need to select one or more of the processor modules below. This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through a character device node named /dev/kvm. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called kvm. If unsure, say N. config KVM_INTEL tristate "KVM for Intel processors support" depends on KVM ---help--- Provides support for KVM on Intel processors equipped with the VT extensions. config KVM_AMD tristate "KVM for AMD processors support" depends on KVM ---help--- Provides support for KVM on AMD processors equipped with the AMD-V (SVM) extensions. config KVM_TRACE bool "KVM trace support" depends on KVM && MARKERS && SYSFS select RELAY select DEBUG_FS default n ---help--- This option allows reading a trace of kvm-related events through relayfs. Note the ABI is not considered stable and will be modified in future updates. # OK, it's a little counter-intuitive to do this, but it puts it neatly under # the virtualization menu. source drivers/lguest/Kconfig source drivers/virtio/Kconfig endif # VIRTUALIZATION
