| config XEN_BALLOON |
| bool "Xen memory balloon driver" |

| 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_SELFBALLOONING |
| bool "Dynamically self-balloon kernel memory to target" |
| depends on XEN && XEN_BALLOON && CLEANCACHE && SWAP |
| default n |
| help |
| Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven |
| by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and |
| controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring |
| FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self- |
| ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the |
| 'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter. If FRONTSWAP is configured, |
| frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled |
| with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning |
| is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning' |
| kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently |
| large swap device should not enable self-ballooning. |

| 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 |

| The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event |

| 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. |
