This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say /boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine). It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch. Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement (additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a .config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our problem): config UML option required default y However this should be further discussed: *) for x86, it must support constructs like: ==arch/i386/Kconfig== config 64BIT option required default n where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the read .config. *) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for .config? Which leads to: *) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by default)?

skas security and performance without needing to patch the host.

If CONFIG_MODE_TT is disabled, then this option gives you the ability

to force a static link of UML. Normally, if only skas mode is built

in to UML, it will be linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient

for use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a

|
chroot, and you disable CONFIG_MODE_TT, you probably want to say Y
|
|
here.

Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to

to best results for this.

Unless you have specific needs to use TT mode (which applies almost only

SKAS mode will make use of the SKAS3 patch if it is applied on the host

(and your UML will run in SKAS3 mode), but if no SKAS patch is applied
|
|
on the host it will run in SKAS0 mode, which is anyway faster than TT

Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.

The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
|
|
when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
|
|
other computer. If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
|
|
should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
|
|
in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
|
|
contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
|
|
of which are given in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
|
|
|
|
For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
|
|
recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

|
|
While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
|
|
booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
|
|
access files stored on the host. It does not require any
|
|
network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of
|
|
this might be:
|
|
|
|
mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare
|
|
|
|
where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and
|
|
/tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user
|
|
wishes to access.

help
|

hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc
|
|
entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host.
|
|
Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine
|
|
by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the
|
|
identity of a UML.
|
|
|
|
See <http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/hppfs.html> for more information.

it is safe to say 'N' here.

The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to

the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is

a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux

instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
|
|
SysRq mechanism.
|
|
|

If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
|
|
mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in

2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
|

If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
|

if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you

will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
|
|
immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
|
|
possible requests is provided.
|
|
|
|
This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
|
|
while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).
|
|
|
|
On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
|
|
mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.

The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y

help
|
|
This option enables UML SMP support.
|
|
It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least.
|
|
|
|
UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
|
|
simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.
|
|
|
|
Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will
|
|
timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously.
|
|
If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run
|
|
simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler.
|
|
|
|
This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS
|
|
patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually gives
|
|
you worse performances.
|
|
Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could
|
|
be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP.
|

If you don't know what to do, say N.

This is set to the number of layers of UMLs that this UML will be run

in. Normally, this is zero, meaning that it will run directly on the

host. Setting it to one will build a UML that can run inside a UML

that is running on the host. Generally, if you intend this UML to run

inside another UML, set CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL to one more than the host
|
|
UML.
|

Note that if the hosting UML has its CONFIG_KERNEL_HALF_GIGS set to

greater than one, then the guest UML should have its CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL

set to the host's CONFIG_NEST_LEVEL + CONFIG_KERNEL_HALF_GIGS.

This was used to allow UML to run with big amounts of memory.

Currently it is unstable, so if unsure say N.

To use big amounts of memory, it is recommended to disable TT mode (i.e.

this should allow the guest to use up to 2.75G of memory.

case, when UML is restarted, it will call the timer enough times to make

up for the time spent at the breakpoint. This could result in a

noticeable lag. If this is a problem, then disable this option.
