config STATIC_LINK
	bool "Force a static link"
	depends on CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC_NO_RUNTIME_DEPS || !MAY_HAVE_RUNTIME_DEPS
	help
	  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.

NOTE: This option is incompatible with some networking features which
	  depend on features that require being dynamically loaded (like NSS).

config LD_SCRIPT_STATIC
	bool
	default y
	depends on STATIC_LINK

config LD_SCRIPT_DYN
	bool
	default y
	depends on !LD_SCRIPT_STATIC

config LD_SCRIPT_DYN_RPATH
	bool "set rpath in the binary" if EXPERT
	default y
	depends on LD_SCRIPT_DYN
	help
	  Add /lib (and /lib64 for 64-bit) to the linux binary's rpath
	  explicitly.

You may need to turn this off if compiling for nix systems
	  that have their libraries in random /nix directories and
	  might otherwise unexpected use libraries from /lib or /lib64
	  instead of the desired ones.

config HOSTFS
	tristate "Host filesystem"
	help
	  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:

mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare

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.

For more information, see
	  <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>.

If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host,
	  say Y or M here; otherwise say N.

config MCONSOLE
	bool "Management console"
	depends on PROC_FS
	default y
	help
	  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.

It is safe to say 'Y' here.

config MAGIC_SYSRQ
	bool "Magic SysRq key"
	depends on MCONSOLE
	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). A key for each of the
	  possible requests is provided.

This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key
	  while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen).

On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with
	  mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command.

The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst>. Don't say Y
	  unless you really know what this hack does.

config KERNEL_STACK_ORDER
	int "Kernel stack size order"
	default 2 if 64BIT
	range 2 10 if 64BIT
	default 1 if !64BIT
	help
	  This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks.  They will
	  be 1 << order pages.  The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind
	  on UML, in which case, set this to 3.
	  It is possible to reduce the stack to 1 for 64BIT and 0 for 32BIT on
	  older (pre-2017) CPUs. It is not recommended on newer CPUs due to the
	  increase in the size of the state which needs to be saved when handling
	  signals.

config MMAPPER
	tristate "iomem emulation driver"
	help
	  This driver allows a host file to be used as emulated IO memory inside
	  UML.

config PGTABLE_LEVELS
	int
	default 3 if 3_LEVEL_PGTABLES
	default 2

config UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT
	bool
	prompt "Support time-travel mode (e.g. for test execution)"
	# inf-cpu mode is incompatible with the benchmarking
	depends on !RAID6_PQ_BENCHMARK
	depends on !SMP
	help
	  Enable this option to support time travel inside the UML instance.

After enabling this option, two modes are accessible at runtime
	  (selected by the kernel command line), see the kernel's command-
	  line help for more details.

It is safe to say Y, but you probably don't need this.

config KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
	hex
	depends on KASAN
	default 0x100000000000
	help
	  This is the offset at which the ~16TB of shadow memory is
	  mapped and used by KASAN for memory debugging. This can be any
	  address that has at least KASAN_SHADOW_SIZE (total address space divided
	  by 8) amount of space so that the KASAN shadow memory does not conflict
	  with anything. The default is 0x100000000000, which works even if mem is
	  set to a large value. On low-memory systems, try 0x7fff8000, as it fits
	  into the immediate of most instructions, improving performance.
