the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
return unneeded memory to the system.
xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory ("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization. Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine. Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap, driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs. More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.

config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
help
Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
It is very useful on critical systems which require long
run without rebooting.
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
file (should be 'online').
2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
could be added by writing proper value to
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
target domain.
Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
by doing the following:
for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
[ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
or by adding the following line to udev rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"

The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
you want to make visible to other guests.
The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.

xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor. This driver solves three problems: 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data). 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data). 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading. The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states. Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states transitions. For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm() to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded. Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle) and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element. Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading. There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count. Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor. This driver solves three problems: 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data). 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data). 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading. The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states. Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states transitions. For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm() to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded. Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle) and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element. Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading. There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count. Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument.

help
This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen
hypervisor.
To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads
said information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can
select the proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itself as the
SMM so that other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will
not load.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called xen_acpi_processor If you do not know what to choose, select
M here. If the CPUFREQ drivers are built in, select Y here.
