1 menu "Xen driver support"
5 bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
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_SCRUB_PAGES
13 bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
14 depends on XEN_BALLOON
17 Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
18 other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
19 is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
20 secure, but slightly less efficient.
24 tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
27 The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event
28 channels and to receive notification of an event channel
33 tristate "Xen filesystem"
36 The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
37 information with each other and with the hypervisor.
38 For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
39 may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
42 config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
43 bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
47 The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
48 under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
49 xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
50 the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
54 config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
55 bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
60 Create entries under /sys/hypervisor describing the Xen
61 hypervisor environment. When running native or in another
62 virtual environment, /sys/hypervisor will still be present,
63 but will have no xen contents.
