4config XEN_BALLOON
5	bool "Xen memory balloon driver"
6	default y
7	help
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.
11
12config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES
13	bool "Scrub pages before returning them to system"
14	depends on XEN_BALLOON
15	default y
16	help
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.
21	  If in doubt, say yes.
22
23config XEN_DEV_EVTCHN
24	tristate "Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device"
25	default y
26	help
27	  The evtchn driver allows a userspace process to triger event
28	  channels and to receive notification of an event channel
29	  firing.
30	  If in doubt, say yes.
31
32config XENFS
33	tristate "Xen filesystem"
34	default y
35	help
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.
40	  If in doubt, say yes.
41
42config XEN_COMPAT_XENFS
43       bool "Create compatibility mount point /proc/xen"
44       depends on XENFS
45       default y
46       help
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
51         a xen platform.
52         If in doubt, say yes.
53
54config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
55       bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"
56       depends on SYSFS
57       select SYS_HYPERVISOR
58       default y
59       help
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.
