# # FIRECRACKER -- kernel configuration file for Firecracker VM # # This is largely a stripped-down version of the GENERIC kernel configuration # file, without drivers for hardware which will never appear inside the # Firecracker VM environment. It adds support for the Virtio MMIO bus, # which Firecracker uses for exposing devices, and legacy mptable, which # Firecracker uses for exposing information about CPUs (since it doesn't # support ACPI). # # Since Firecracker loads the kernel directly via the PVH boot protocol, # it bypasses the boot loader; some environment variables are hard-coded # here which would normally be provided via device hints or loader.conf. # # For more information about the Firecracker VM, see: # # https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/ cpu HAMMER ident FIRECRACKER makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols makeoptions WITH_CTF=1 # Run ctfconvert(1) for DTrace support options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options NUMA # Non-Uniform Memory Architecture support options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options VIMAGE # Subsystem virtualization, e.g. VNET options INET # InterNETworking options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options IPSEC_SUPPORT # Allow kldload of ipsec and tcpmd5 options ROUTE_MPATH # Multipath routing support options FIB_ALGO # Modular fib lookups options TCP_OFFLOAD # TCP offload options TCP_BLACKBOX # Enhanced TCP event logging options TCP_HHOOK # hhook(9) framework for TCP options TCP_RFC7413 # TCP Fast Open options SCTP_SUPPORT # Allow kldload of SCTP options KERN_TLS # TLS transmit & receive offload options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options UFS_GJOURNAL # Enable gjournal-based UFS journaling options QUOTA # Enable disk quotas for UFS options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options NFSCL # Network Filesystem Client options NFSD # Network Filesystem Server options NFSLOCKD # Network Lock Manager options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCL options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options TMPFS # Efficient memory filesystem options GEOM_RAID # Soft RAID functionality. options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization options EFIRT # EFI Runtime Services support options COMPAT_FREEBSD32 # Compatible with i386 binaries options COMPAT_FREEBSD10 # Compatible with FreeBSD10 options COMPAT_FREEBSD11 # Compatible with FreeBSD11 options COMPAT_FREEBSD12 # Compatible with FreeBSD12 options COMPAT_FREEBSD13 # Compatible with FreeBSD13 options COMPAT_FREEBSD14 # Compatible with FreeBSD14 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options STACK # stack(9) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128 # Prevent printf output being interspersed. options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options HWPMC_HOOKS # Necessary kernel hooks for hwpmc(4) options AUDIT # Security event auditing options CAPABILITY_MODE # Capsicum capability mode options CAPABILITIES # Capsicum capabilities options MAC # TrustedBSD MAC Framework options KDTRACE_FRAME # Ensure frames are compiled in options KDTRACE_HOOKS # Kernel DTrace hooks options DDB_CTF # Kernel ELF linker loads CTF data options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options RACCT # Resource accounting framework options RACCT_DEFAULT_TO_DISABLED # Set kern.racct.enable=0 by default options RCTL # Resource limits # Debugging support.
