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

87 tristate "Host filesystem"
89 While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for
90 booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user
91 access files stored on the host. It does not require any
92 network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of
95 mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare
97 where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and
98 /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user
101 For more information, see
102 <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>.
104 If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host,
105 say Y or M here; otherwise say N.
108 bool "Management console"
112 The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to
113 the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is
114 a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux
115 instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the
118 If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the
119 mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in
120 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the
121 distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later.
123 It is safe to say 'Y' here.
126 bool "Magic SysRq key"
129 If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
130 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
131 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
132 immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the
133 possible requests is provided.
135 This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
136 while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).
138 On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
139 mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.
141 The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst>. Don't say Y
142 unless you really know what this hack does.
144 config KERNEL_STACK_ORDER
145 int "Kernel stack size order"
150 This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will
151 be 1 << order pages. The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind
152 on UML, in which case, set this to 3.
153 It is possible to reduce the stack to 1 for 64BIT and 0 for 32BIT on
154 older (pre-2017) CPUs. It is not recommended on newer CPUs due to the
155 increase in the size of the state which needs to be saved when handling

174 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
176 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
177 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
178 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
179 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
180 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
181 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
182 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
183 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
184 defined by each seccomp mode.
188 config UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT
190 prompt "Support time-travel mode (e.g. for test execution)"
192 Enable this option to support time travel inside the UML instance.
194 After enabling this option, two modes are accessible at runtime
195 (selected by the kernel command line), see the kernel's command-
196 line help for more details.
198 It is safe to say Y, but you probably don't need this.
