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.

Add -Werror to the build flags for KVM.
If in doubt, 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 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.

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_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".

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".
