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: |

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. |

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).

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. |

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. |
