10 return unneeded memory to the system.

16 help
17 Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
18 by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
19 controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
20 FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
21 ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
22 frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
23 with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
24 is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'
25 kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
26 large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

28 config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

30 default n
31 depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
32 help
33 Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
34 available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
35 It is very useful on critical systems which require long
36 run without rebooting.
37
38 Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
39
40 1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
41 where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
42
43 2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
44 where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
45 could be added by writing proper value to
46 /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
47 /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
48
49 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
50 [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
51
52 Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
53
54 SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
55
56 In that case step 3 should be omitted.

108 The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share

111 may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.

119 The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
120 under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
121 xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
122 the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on

174 help
175 The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
176 PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
177 will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
178 you want to make visible to other guests.
179
180 The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
181 devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
182 PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
183 the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
184
185 The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
186 into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
187 from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
188 xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
