Xen itself is configured via a `kconfig' system borrowed from Linux.
|
||||
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.4/kbuild/.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that unlike with Linux, and contrary to that document, you cannot
|
||||
look at Kconfig files, or the default or generated config files etc.,
|
||||
to find available configuration options. This is because it is only
|
||||
supported (and security supported) by the Xen Project, to change a
|
||||
small subset of the options. Attempts to change other options will be
|
||||
silently overridden. The only way to find which configuration options
|
||||
are available is to run `make menuconfig' or the like.
|
||||
|
||||
You can counter-override this behaviour by setting XEN_CONFIG_EXPERT=y
|
||||
in your environment. However, doing this is not supported and the
|
||||
resulting configurations do not receive security support. If you set
|
||||
this variable there is nothing stopping you setting dangerously
|
||||
experimental combinations of features - not even any warnings.
|
||||
Only a subset of options is supported or security-supported by Xen
|
||||
Project. You can explore all available options, including unsupported
|
||||
ones and those recommended only for expert users, e.g. by using `make
|
||||
menuconfig` and enabling `CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED` and/or `CONFIG_EXPERT`.
|
||||
However, enabling these options is not supported, and configurations
|
||||
resulting from them do not receive security support.
