Gregory Haskins 721eecbf4f KVM: irqfd
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure.  This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism:  Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.

Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run other
operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

---help---
Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm.
If unsure, say N.
config KVM_INTEL
tristate "KVM for Intel processors support"
depends on KVM
---help---
Provides support for KVM on Intel processors equipped with the VT
extensions.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm-intel.
config KVM_AMD
tristate "KVM for AMD processors support"
depends on KVM
---help---
Provides support for KVM on AMD processors equipped with the AMD-V
(SVM) extensions.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm-amd.
config KVM_TRACE
bool "KVM trace support"
depends on KVM && SYSFS

default n
---help---
This option allows reading a trace of kvm-related events through
relayfs. Note the ABI is not considered stable and will be
modified in future updates.
# OK, it's a little counter-intuitive to do this, but it puts it neatly under
# the virtualization menu.
