No vanilla kernel (nor 2.4 nor 2.6) contains already the SKAS3 patch.
But recent UML kernel can run on any host in SKAS0 mode, slightly slower bu=
t=20
good for normal use.
Otherwise, you can recompile the host kernel after applying on it the SKAS=
=20
patch and UML kernels will automatically use the faster SKAS3 mode.

There are. Go to this page:
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
and look for "debugging" in _that_ page. Then follow the "debugging in SKAS=
=20
mode".

[uml-user] Doubt regarding UML

[battipatisainagendra Bhavaniprasad <sainagendrabhavaniprasad@gm...>]

Hi All,
           This is prasad,I am new to UML.Can any one clearfy the
 following doubts....
1.What is skas patch,is it required for 2.6 kernel or i comes with
 built in and if apply skas patch for my host kernel ,is it required to
 recompile the hole kernel and then install UML.

2.I have downloaded linux 2.4.27 from kernel.org and applyed
uml-patch-2.4.27-1.bz2 to it.
  after giving following command ......
  make menuconfig ARCH=um
  I have got a prompt to select SKAS mode in gendral setup option.
 My doubt is will linux 2.4.20(which is my host kernel) will have
already skas patch built in?

3.Is there any document to debug kernel by mounting gdb from host kernel.

 please reply ASAP.

 rgds,
 Prasad.
