3 bool "Force a static link"
6 This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML.
7 Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for
8 use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot,
9 you probably want to say Y here.
10 Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to

29 tristate "Host filesystem"
31 While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
32 booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
33 access files stored on the host. It does not require any
34 network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of
37 mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare
39 where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and
40 /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user
43 For more information, see
44 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>.
46 If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host,
47 say Y or M here; otherwise say N.
50 bool "Management console"
54 The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
55 the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is
56 a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
57 instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
60 If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
61 mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
62 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
63 distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.
65 It is safe to say 'Y' here.
68 bool "Magic SysRq key"
71 If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
72 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
73 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
74 immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
75 possible requests is provided.
77 This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
78 while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).
80 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
81 mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.
83 The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst>. Don't say Y
84 unless you really know what this hack does.
86 config KERNEL_STACK_ORDER
87 int "Kernel stack size order"
92 This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will
93 be 1 << order pages. The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind
94 on UML, in which case, set this to 3.

112 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
114 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
115 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
116 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
117 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
118 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
119 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
120 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
121 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
122 defined by each seccomp mode.
