x86, um: get rid of arch/um/Kconfig.arch
Teach scripts/kconfig/Makefile and top-level Makefile that arch/*/Makefile
is allowed to say Kconfig := <whatever I want instead of arch/blah/Kconfig>.
Rewrite arch/um/Kconfig and arch/um/Kconfig.<subarch> so that the latter
would be top-level one (and include the pieces of the former).

1 | config STATIC_LINK | ||
2 | bool "Force a static link" | ||
3 | default n | ||
4 | help | ||
5 | This option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML. | ||
6 | Normally, UML is linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for | ||
7 | use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot, | ||
8 | you probably want to say Y here. | ||
9 | Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to | ||
10 | 2.75G) for UML. | ||

28 | tristate "Host filesystem" | ||
29 | help | ||
30 | While the User-Mode Linux port uses its own root file system for | ||
31 | booting and normal file access, this module lets the UML user | ||
32 | access files stored on the host. It does not require any | ||
33 | network connection between the Host and UML. An example use of | ||
34 | this might be: | ||
35 | |||
36 | mount none /tmp/fromhost -t hostfs -o /tmp/umlshare | ||
37 | |||
38 | where /tmp/fromhost is an empty directory inside UML and | ||
39 | /tmp/umlshare is a directory on the host with files the UML user | ||
40 | wishes to access. | ||
41 | |||
42 | For more information, see | ||
43 | <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hostfs.html>. | ||
44 | |||
45 | If you'd like to be able to work with files stored on the host, | ||
46 | say Y or M here; otherwise say N. | ||
47 | |||
48 | config HPPFS | ||
49 | tristate "HoneyPot ProcFS (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
50 | depends on EXPERIMENTAL | ||
51 | help | ||
52 | hppfs (HoneyPot ProcFS) is a filesystem which allows UML /proc | ||
53 | entries to be overridden, removed, or fabricated from the host. | ||
54 | Its purpose is to allow a UML to appear to be a physical machine | ||
55 | by removing or changing anything in /proc which gives away the | ||
56 | identity of a UML. | ||
57 | |||
58 | See <http://user-mode-linux.sf.net/old/hppfs.html> for more information. | ||
59 | |||
60 | You only need this if you are setting up a UML honeypot. Otherwise, | ||
61 | it is safe to say 'N' here. | ||
62 | |||
63 | config MCONSOLE | ||
64 | bool "Management console" | ||
65 | default y | ||
66 | help | ||
67 | The user mode linux management console is a low-level interface to | ||
68 | the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is | ||
69 | a full-blown operating system running under every user mode linux | ||
70 | instance, there is much greater flexibility possible than with the | ||
71 | SysRq mechanism. | ||
72 | |||
73 | If you answer 'Y' to this option, to use this feature, you need the | ||
74 | mconsole client (called uml_mconsole) which is present in CVS in | ||
75 | 2.4.5-9um and later (path /tools/mconsole), and is also in the | ||
76 | distribution RPM package in 2.4.6 and later. | ||
77 | |||
78 | It is safe to say 'Y' here. | ||
79 | |||
80 | config MAGIC_SYSRQ | ||
81 | bool "Magic SysRq key" | ||
82 | depends on MCONSOLE | ||
83 | help | ||
84 | If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even | ||
85 | if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you | ||
86 | will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system | ||
87 | immediately or dump some status information). A key for each of the | ||
88 | possible requests is provided. | ||
89 | |||
90 | This is the feature normally accomplished by pressing a key | ||
91 | while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). | ||
92 | |||
93 | On UML, this is accomplished by sending a "sysrq" command with | ||
94 | mconsole, followed by the letter for the requested command. | ||
95 | |||
96 | The keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y | ||
97 | unless you really know what this hack does. | ||
98 | |||
99 | config SMP | ||
100 | bool "Symmetric multi-processing support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
101 | default n | ||
102 | depends on BROKEN | ||
103 | help | ||
104 | This option enables UML SMP support. | ||
105 | It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least. | ||
106 | |||
107 | UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run | ||
108 | simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured. | ||
109 | |||
110 | Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will | ||
111 | timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously. | ||
112 | If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run | ||
113 | simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler. | ||
114 | |||
115 | This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS | ||
116 | patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually | ||
117 | gives you worse performances. | ||
118 | Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could | ||
119 | be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP. | ||
120 | |||
121 | If you don't know what to do, say N. | ||
122 | |||
123 | config NR_CPUS | ||

130 | bool "Highmem support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | ||
131 | depends on !64BIT && EXPERIMENTAL | ||
132 | default n | ||
133 | help | ||
134 | This was used to allow UML to run with big amounts of memory. | ||
135 | Currently it is unstable, so if unsure say N. | ||
136 | |||
137 | To use big amounts of memory, it is recommended enable static | ||
138 | linking (i.e. CONFIG_STATIC_LINK) - this should allow the | ||
139 | guest to use up to 2.75G of memory. | ||
140 | |||
141 | config KERNEL_STACK_ORDER | ||
142 | int "Kernel stack size order" | ||
143 | default 1 if 64BIT | ||
144 | range 1 10 if 64BIT | ||
145 | default 0 if !64BIT | ||
146 | help | ||
147 | This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will | ||
148 | be 1 << order pages. The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind | ||
149 | on UML, in which case, set this to 3. | ||
