Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do. Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support such modes at runtime, selected on the command line: * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load (or speed) or debug overhead. An additional "time-travel-start=<seconds>" parameter is also supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time (in unix epoch). With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
