Help text

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.

Force a static link found in arch/um/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_STATIC_LINK:

• prompt: Force a static link
• type: bool
• depends on: ! CONFIG_MODE_TT
• defined in arch/um/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.0–2.6.27

Help text

If MODE_TT is disabled, then this option gives you the ability to force a static link of UML. Normally, if only skas mode is built in to UML, it will be linked as a shared binary. This is inconvenient for use in a chroot jail. So, if you intend to run UML inside a chroot, and you disable MODE_TT, you probably want to say Y here.
