menuconfig VIRTUALIZATION
	bool "Virtualization"
	default y
	help
	  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_WERROR
	bool "Compile KVM with -Werror"
	# Disallow KVM's -Werror if KASAN is enabled, e.g. to guard against
	# randomized configs from selecting KVM_WERROR=y, which doesn't play
	# nice with KASAN.  KASAN builds generates warnings for the default
	# FRAME_WARN, i.e. KVM_WERROR=y with KASAN=y requires special tuning.
	# Building KVM with -Werror and KASAN is still doable via enabling
	# the kernel-wide WERROR=y.
	depends on KVM && ((EXPERT && !KASAN) || WERROR)
	help
	  Add -Werror to the build flags for KVM.

	  If in doubt, say "N".

config KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM
	bool "Enable support for KVM software-protected VMs"
	depends on EXPERT
	depends on KVM && X86_64
	select KVM_GENERIC_PRIVATE_MEM
	help
	  Enable support for KVM software-protected VMs.  Currently, software-
	  protected VMs are purely a development and testing vehicle for
	  KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD.  Attempting to run a "real" VM workload as a
	  software-protected VM will fail miserably.

	  If unsure, say "N".

config KVM_INTEL
	tristate "KVM for Intel (and compatible) processors support"
	depends on KVM && IA32_FEAT_CTL
	help
	  Provides support for KVM on processors equipped with Intel's VT
	  extensions, a.k.a. Virtual Machine Extensions (VMX).

	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
	  will be called kvm-intel.

config KVM_INTEL_PROVE_VE
        bool "Check that guests do not receive #VE exceptions"
        depends on KVM_INTEL && EXPERT
        help
          Checks that KVM's page table management code will not incorrectly
          let guests receive a virtualization exception.  Virtualization
          exceptions will be trapped by the hypervisor rather than injected
          in the guest.

          Note: some CPUs appear to generate spurious EPT Violations #VEs
          that trigger KVM's WARN, in particular with eptad=0 and/or nested
          virtualization.

          If unsure, say N.

config X86_SGX_KVM
	bool "Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) Virtualization"
	depends on X86_SGX && KVM_INTEL
	help

	  Enables KVM guests to create SGX enclaves.

	  This includes support to expose "raw" unreclaimable enclave memory to
	  guests via a device node, e.g. /dev/sgx_vepc.

	  If unsure, say N.

config KVM_AMD
	tristate "KVM for AMD processors support"
	depends on KVM && (CPU_SUP_AMD || CPU_SUP_HYGON)
	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_AMD_SEV
	bool "AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) support"
	default y
	depends on KVM_AMD && X86_64
	depends on CRYPTO_DEV_SP_PSP && !(KVM_AMD=y && CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DD=m)
	select ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
	help
	  Provides support for launching Encrypted VMs (SEV) and Encrypted VMs
	  with Encrypted State (SEV-ES) on AMD processors.

config KVM_SMM
	bool "System Management Mode emulation"
	default y
	depends on KVM
	help
	  Provides support for KVM to emulate System Management Mode (SMM)
	  in virtual machines.  This can be used by the virtual machine
	  firmware to implement UEFI secure boot.

	  If unsure, say Y.

config KVM_HYPERV
	bool "Support for Microsoft Hyper-V emulation"
	depends on KVM
	default y
	help
	  Provides KVM support for emulating Microsoft Hyper-V.  This allows KVM
	  to expose a subset of the paravirtualized interfaces defined in the
	  Hyper-V Hypervisor Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS):
	  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs
	  These interfaces are required for the correct and performant functioning
	  of Windows and Hyper-V guests on KVM.

	  If unsure, say "Y".

config KVM_XEN
	bool "Support for Xen hypercall interface"
	depends on KVM
	help
	  Provides KVM support for the hosting Xen HVM guests and
	  passing Xen hypercalls to userspace.

	  If in doubt, say "N".

config KVM_PROVE_MMU
	bool "Prove KVM MMU correctness"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on KVM
	depends on EXPERT
	help
	  Enables runtime assertions in KVM's MMU that are too costly to enable
	  in anything remotely resembling a production environment, e.g. this
	  gates code that verifies a to-be-freed page table doesn't have any
	  present SPTEs.

	  If in doubt, say "N".

config KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING
	bool

config KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS
	int "Maximum number of vCPUs per KVM guest"
	depends on KVM
	range 1024 4096
	default 4096 if MAXSMP
	default 1024
	help
	  Set the maximum number of vCPUs per KVM guest. Larger values will increase
	  the memory footprint of each KVM guest, regardless of how many vCPUs are
	  created for a given VM.
