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 -070051 hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc
52 entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host.
53 Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine
54 by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the
55 identity of a UML.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070066 The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
67 the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is
68 a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
69 instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
70 SysRq mechanism.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -070092 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -0700106 UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
107 simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -0700109 Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will
110 timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously.
111 If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run
112 simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler.

Jeff Dike4c9e1382007-10-16 01:26:54 -0700114 This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS
115 patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually
116 gives you worse performances.
117 Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could
118 be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP.
