109 menu "Supported host OS features"
111 config MULTITHREAD_OS
112 bool "Host support for multiple threads"
115 Select this if your OS supports multiple threads of execution. This will enable features in Palacios
116 to require the creation of additional execution threads.
119 config ALIGNED_PG_ALLOC
120 bool "Host support for aligned page allocations"
123 Select this if your OS supports allocating memory pages using an alignment. This is required
124 if you want Palacios to run with large page table pages.
127 int "Maximum number of cpus"
131 Specifies the maximum number of hardware CPUs supported by the OS
132 For uniprocessor environments, set this to 1
136 source "palacios/src/interfaces/Kconfig"
137 source "palacios/src/extensions/Kconfig"
140 bool "Enable VMM telemetry support"
143 Enable the telemetry framework in Palacios
145 This is a framwork that allows components of palacios to record
146 information that is periodically reported to the log output.
147 Telemetry is automatically collected for vmexits. Subsystem telemetry
148 is configured separately
151 config SHADOW_PAGING_TELEMETRY
152 bool "Enable Shadow Paging Telemetry"
156 Enable telemetry information for shadow paging
161 bool "Enable Experimental options"
164 This allows the selection of experimental features. This includes incomplete or unreviewed code.
165 Only enable this feature if you are working on the features in question.
166 IMPORTANT: Non-experimental code MUST NOT use, require, or rely on experimental features.
167 Any code that violates this will be immediately deleted without warning.
169 The purpose of this option is to allow features under development to be committed to the mainline
170 to more easily track changes and provide access to multiple developers

214 menu "Time Management"
215 config VIRTUALIZE_TIME
216 bool "Enable Time virtualization"
219 Enables the timer virtualization extensions
221 config TIME_HIDE_VM_COST
222 bool "Hide VMM Run Cost"
224 depends on VIRTUALIZE_TIME
226 Offset guest time from host time sufficiently to hide the cost of
227 running in the virtual machine. This can aid the consistency of
228 time between multiple timers, but can cause the guest to run
229 a good bit slower than the host in VM-intensive parts of the code.
231 config TIME_VIRTUALIZE_TSC
232 bool "Fully virtualize guest TSC"
234 depends on VIRTUALIZE_TIME
236 Virtualize the processor time stamp counter in the guest,
237 generally increasing consistency between various time sources
238 but also potentially making guest time run slower than real time.
244 menu "Symbiotic Functions"
247 bool "Enable Symbiotic Functionality"
