[patch 1/5] uml: Kconfig and defconfig updates.

From: blaisorblade_spam
Date: Sat Oct 23 2004 - 00:45:00 EST



- Make CONFIG_SMP depend on TT mode. Since SMP does not work in SKAS mode
(it's still a TODO), add the dependency in the Kconfig. Also mark CONFIG_SMP
as experimental.
- Workaround kconfig warning: just for now (we wait for a "CONFIG_VIRTUAL_OS"
to exclude physical hardware) create the CONFIG_INPUT option (fixed to N),
to avoid complaints from make *config ARCH=um about it being undefined.
- Mark HPPFS as broken and needing updates.
- Update defconfig, both for new kernel options and for changes in the actual
config. For instance, enable module support by default.
- Update help text for some items and add a help to some other ones.

- This option enables UML SMP support. 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.
- It is safe to leave this unchanged.
