	  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.

          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:

          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.

	  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.

          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.

	  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

	  UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
	  simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.

J
Jeff Dike 已提交
110 111 112 113
	  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.
