If you say Y here, KVM will use the hardware virtualization facilities of POWER7 (and later) processors, meaning that guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means that KVM is not usable under PowerVM (pHyp), is only usable on POWER7 or later processors, and cannot emulate a different processor from the host processor. If unsure, say N. config KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR tristate "KVM support without using hypervisor mode in host" depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64 select KVM_BOOK3S_PR_POSSIBLE help Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all privileged instructions and registers. This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, and can emulate processors that are different from the host processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit host. config KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING bool "Detailed timing for hypervisor real-mode code" depends on KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE && DEBUG_FS help Calculate time taken for each vcpu in the real-mode guest entry, exit, and interrupt handling code, plus time spent in the guest and in nap mode due to idle (cede) while other threads are still in the guest. The total, minimum and maximum times in nanoseconds together with the number of executions are reported in debugfs in kvm/vm#/vcpu#/timings. The overhead is of the order of 30 - 40 ns per exit on POWER8. If unsure, say N. config KVM_BOOK3S_HV_NESTED_PMU_WORKAROUND bool "Nested L0 host workaround for L1 KVM host PMU handling bug" if EXPERT depends on KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE default !EXPERT help Old nested HV capable Linux guests have a bug where they don't reflect the PMU in-use status of their L2 guest to the L0 host while the L2 PMU registers are live. This can result in loss of L2 PMU register state, causing perf to not work correctly in L2 guests. Selecting this option for the L0 host implements a workaround for those buggy L1s which saves the L2 state, at the cost of performance in all nested-capable guest entry/exit. config KVM_BOOKE_HV bool config KVM_EXIT_TIMING bool "Detailed exit timing" depends on KVM_E500V2 || KVM_E500MC help Calculate elapsed time for every exit/enter cycle. A per-vcpu report is available in debugfs kvm/vm#_vcpu#_timing. The overhead is relatively small, however it is not recommended for production environments.
