Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we broke them. Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others. This does not change anything for the architectures using the old style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there. For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

config STATIC_LINK

bool "Force a static link"

default n

help
|
|
This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML.
|
|
Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for
|
|
use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot,
|
|
you probably want to say Y here.
|
|
Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to
|
|
2.75G) for UML.

help
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
<http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host,
|
|
say Y or M here; otherwise say N.

config HPPFS

tristate "HoneyPot ProcFS (EXPERIMENTAL)"

|
|
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/old/hppfs.html> for more information.
|
|
|

You only need this if you are setting up a UML honeypot. Otherwise,
|
|
it is safe to say 'N' here.

config MCONSOLE
|
|
bool "Management console"
|
|
default y
|
|
help
|
|
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
|
|
distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.
|
|
|
|
It is safe to say 'Y' here.

|
config MAGIC_SYSRQ
|
|
bool "Magic SysRq key"
|
|
depends on MCONSOLE
|
|
help
|
|
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
|
|
unless you really know what this hack does.

config SMP
|

bool "Symmetric multi-processing support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
|

default n

depends on BROKEN
|
|
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 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 enable static
|
|
linking (i.e. CONFIG_STATIC_LINK) - this should allow the
|
|
guest to use up to 2.75G of memory.
