47 default y
48 help
49 This option controls whether tracing thread support is compiled
50 into UML. Normally, this should be set to Y. If you intend to
51 use only skas mode (and the host has the skas patch applied to it),
52 then it is OK to say N here.

56 default n
57 depends on !MODE_TT
58 help
59 If CONFIG_MODE_TT is disabled, then this option gives you the ability
60 to force a static link of UML. Normally, if only skas mode is built
61 in to UML, it will be linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient
62 for use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a
63 chroot, and you disable CONFIG_MODE_TT, you probably want to say Y
64 here.

70 This option controls whether skas (separate kernel address space)
71 support is compiled in. If you have applied the skas patch to the
72 host, then you certainly want to say Y here (and consider saying N
73 to CONFIG_MODE_TT). Otherwise, it is safe to say Y. Disabling this
74 option will shrink the UML binary slightly.

89 bool "Networking support"
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>.

107config HOSTFS
108 tristate "Host filesystem"
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
123 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>.
124
125 If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host,
126 say Y or M here; otherwise say N.
127
128config HPPFS
129 tristate "HoneyPot ProcFS (EXPERIMENTAL)"
130 depends on BROKEN
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.
142
143 If you are actively using it, please ask for it to be fixed. In this
144 moment, it does not work on 2.6 (it works somehow on 2.4).
145
146config MCONSOLE
147 bool "Management console"
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.
160
161 It is safe to say 'Y' here.
162
163config MAGIC_SYSRQ
164 bool "Magic SysRq key"
165 depends on MCONSOLE
166 ---help---
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.
181
182config HOST_2G_2G
183 bool "2G/2G host address space split"
184 default n
185 help
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.
192
193 So, if you do not know what to do here, say 'N'.
194
195config SMP
196 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
197 default n
198 depends on MODE_TT && EXPERIMENTAL
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.
218

226 int "Nesting level"
227 default "0"
228 help
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
231 host. Setting it to one will build a UML that can run inside a UML
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.
239 Only change this if you are running nested UMLs.
240
241config KERNEL_HALF_GIGS
242 int "Kernel address space size (in .5G units)"
243 default "1"
244 help
245 This determines the amount of address space that UML will allocate for
246 its own, measured in half Gigabyte units. The default is 1.
247 Change this only if you need to boot UML with an unusually large amount
248 of physical memory.

257 help
258 This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will

260 on UML, in which case, set this to 3.
261
262config UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK
263 bool "Real-time Clock"
264 default y
265 help
266 This option makes UML time deltas match wall clock deltas. This should
267 normally be enabled. The exception would be if you are debugging with
268 UML and spend long times with UML stopped at a breakpoint. In this
269 case, when UML is restarted, it will call the timer enough times to make
270 up for the time spent at the breakpoint. This could result in a
271 noticable lag. If this is a problem, then disable this option.
