| 90 | help |
| 91 | Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here. |
| 92 | The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even |
| 93 | when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any |
| 94 | other computer. If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you |
| 95 | should consider updating your networking tools too because changes |
| 96 | in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are |
| 97 | contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number |
| 98 | of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly |
| 101 | recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from |
| 102 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |

| 109 | help |
| 110 | While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for |
| 111 | booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user |
| 112 | access files stored on the host. It does not require any |
| 113 | network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of |
| 114 | this might be: |
| 115 | |
| 116 | mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare |
| 117 | |
| 118 | where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and |
| 119 | /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user |
| 120 | wishes to access. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | For more information, see |

| 131 | help |
| 132 | hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc |
| 133 | entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host. |
| 134 | Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine |
| 135 | by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the |
| 136 | identity of a UML. |
| 137 | |
| 138 | See <http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/hppfs.html> for more information. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | You only need this if you are setting up a UML honeypot. Otherwise, |
| 141 | it is safe to say 'N' here. |

| 144 | moment, it does not work on 2.6 (it works somehow on 2.4). |

| 148 | default y |
| 149 | help |
| 150 | The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to |
| 151 | the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is |
| 152 | a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux |
| 153 | instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the |
| 154 | SysRq mechanism. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the |
| 157 | mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in |
| 158 | 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the |
| 159 | distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later. |

| 167 | If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even |
| 168 | if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you |
| 169 | will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system |
| 170 | immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the |
| 171 | possible requests is provided. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key |
| 174 | while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). |
| 175 | |
| 176 | On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with |
| 177 | mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command. |
| 178 | |
| 179 | The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y |
| 180 | unless you really know what this hack does. |

| 186 | This is needed when the host on which you run has a 2G/2G memory |
| 187 | split, instead of the customary 3G/1G. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | Note that to enable such a host |
| 190 | configuration, which makes sense only in some cases, you need special |
| 191 | host patches. |

| 199 | help |
| 200 | This option enables UML SMP support. |
| 201 | It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least. |
| 202 | |
| 203 | UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run |
| 204 | simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will |
| 207 | timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously. |
| 208 | If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run |
| 209 | simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler. |
| 210 | |
| 211 | This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS |
| 212 | patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually gives |
| 213 | you worse performances. |
| 214 | Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could |
| 215 | be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP. |
| 216 | |
| 217 | If you don't know what to do, say N. |

| 229 | This is set to the number of layers of UMLs that this UML will be run |
| 230 | in. Normally, this is zero, meaning that it will run directly on the |

| 232 | that is running on the host. Generally, if you intend this UML to run |
| 233 | inside another UML, set CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL to one more than the host |
| 234 | UML. |
| 235 | |
| 236 | Note that if the hosting UML has its CONFIG_KERNEL_HALF_GIGS set to |
| 237 | greater than one, then the guest UML should have its CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL |
| 238 | set to the host's CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL + CONFIG_KERNEL_HALF_GIGS. |
