Hi,
I'm running Gentoo Linux under VMware Player 15. I would like to ask information on custom kernel configuration for optimal performance as a VMware guest. First of all, I guess I should enable "Processor type and features / Linux guest support". Then, entering into the "Linux guest support" submenu, I would like to ask if I should enable any of the followings settings:
- Enable paravirtualization code
- Paravirtualization layer for spinlocks
- Xen guest support
- KVM Guest support (including kvmclock)
- Paravirtual steal time accounting
- Jailhouse non-root cell support
Please let me also know if there are any other important settings to enable specifically for VMware (apart from "VMWARE_BALLOON", "VMWARE_PVSCSI", "VMWARE_VMCI", "VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS", "VMXNET3" which I already know).
Thanks
