Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -07005 This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML.
6 Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for
7 use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot,
8 you probably want to say Y here.
9 Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to
10 2.75G) for UML.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070029 While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
30 booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
31 access files stored on the host. It does not require any
32 network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of
33 this might be:

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070052 The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
53 the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is
54 a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
55 instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
56 SysRq mechanism.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070058 If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
59 mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
60 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
61 distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.

69 If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
70 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
71 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
72 immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
73 possible requests is provided.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070075 This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070078 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
79 mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.

111 ---help---
112 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
113 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
114 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
115 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
116 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
117 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
118 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
119 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
120 defined by each seccomp mode.
