The XEN config option enables the Xen paravirt_ops interface, which is installed when the kernel finds itself running under Xen. (By some as-yet fully defined mechanism, implemented in a future patch.) Xen is no longer a sub-architecture, so the X86_XEN subarch config option has gone. The disabled config options are: - PREEMPT: Xen doesn't support it - HZ: set to 100Hz for now, to cut down on VCPU context switch rate. This will be adapted to use tickless later. - kexec: not yet supported Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Ian Pratt Signed-off-by: Christian Limpach Signed-off-by: Chris Wright --- arch/i386/Kconfig | 7 +++++-- arch/i386/Kconfig.debug | 1 + arch/i386/xen/Kconfig | 10 ++++++++++ kernel/Kconfig.hz | 4 ++-- kernel/Kconfig.preempt | 1 + 5 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) =================================================================== --- a/arch/i386/Kconfig +++ b/arch/i386/Kconfig @@ -192,6 +192,8 @@ config PARAVIRT under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
