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

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

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