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 PPC970-family processors, and cannot emulate a different processor from the host processor. If unsure, say N. config KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR tristate "KVM support without using hypervisor mode in host" depends on KVM_BOOK3S_64 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 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. config KVM_BOOKE_HV bool config KVM_EXIT_TIMING bool "Detailed exit timing" depends on KVM_E500V2 || KVM_E500MC ---help--- Calculate elapsed time for every exit/enter cycle.
