5 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.

29 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:
1da177e4 34
4c9e1385 35 mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare
1da177e4 36
4c9e1385
JD
37 where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and
38 /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user
39 wishes to access.

4c9e1385
JD
51 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.

65 help
4c9e1385
JD
66 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.
1da177e4 71
4c9e1385
JD
72 If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
73 mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
74 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
75 distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.

82 help
83 If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
84 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
85 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
86 immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
87 possible requests is provided.

89 This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
90 while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).
1da177e4 91
4c9e1385
JD
92 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
93 mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.
1da177e4 94

95 The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
96 unless you really know what this hack does.

103 This option enables UML SMP support.
104 It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least.
1da177e4 105
4c9e1385
JD
106 UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
107 simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.
1da177e4 108
4c9e1385
JD
109 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.
1da177e4 113
4c9e1385
JD
114 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.

136 To use big amounts of memory, it is recommended enable static
137 linking (i.e. CONFIG_STATIC_LINK) - this should allow the
138 guest to use up to 2.75G of memory.
