This is the Linux Xen port. Enabling this will allow the
kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the
Xen hypervisor.

help
Limit paravirtualized user domains to 512GB of RAM.
The Xen tools and crash dump analysis tools might not support
pv-domains with more than 512 GB of RAM. This option controls the
default setting of the kernel to use only up to 512 GB or more.
It is always possible to change the default via specifying the
boot parameter "xen_512gb_limit".

help
Enable statistics output and various tuning options in debugfs.
Enabling this option may incur a significant performance overhead.
xen/pvh/x86: Define what an PVH guest is (v3). Which is a PV guest with auto page translation enabled and with vector callback. It is a cross between PVHVM and PV. The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Also we use the PV cpuid, albeit we can use the HVM (native) cpuid. However, we do have a fair bit of filtering in the xen_cpuid and we can piggyback on that until the hypervisor/toolstack filters the appropiate cpuids. Once that is done we can swap over to use the native one. We setup a Kconfig entry that is disabled by default and cannot be enabled. Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM. It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM compilations.
