help
Support running unmodified book3s_64 guest kernels in
virtual machines on POWER7 and newer processors that have
hypervisor mode available to the host.
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.

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 only available for hash MMU mode and only supports
guests that use hash MMU mode.
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.
Selecting this option will cause the SCV facility to be
disabled when the kernel is booted on the pseries platform in
hash MMU mode (regardless of PR VMs running). When any PR VMs
are running, "AIL" mode is disabled which may slow interrupts
and system calls on the host.

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.

config KVM_BOOK3S_HV_NESTED_PMU_WORKAROUND
bool "Nested L0 host workaround for L1 KVM host PMU handling bug" if EXPERT

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.
