this if you expect the UML that you build to be run in environments
which don't have a set of /dev/pty* devices.
-config UNIX98_PTYS
- bool "Unix98 PTY support"
- help
- A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
- halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
- a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
- read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
- terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
- and xterms.
-
- Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
- masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
- has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
- however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
- pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
- terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
- terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
- traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
-
- All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
- you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

- A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two

- a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
- read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a

- and xterms.
-
- Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx
- for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo
- terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including
- security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most
- systems, it is safe to say N.

-config RAW_DRIVER
- tristate "RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN)"
- depends on BLOCK
- help
- The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN.
- Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O.
- See the raw(8) manpage for more details.
-
- Applications should preferably open the device (eg /dev/hda1)
- with the O_DIRECT flag.

-config MAX_RAW_DEVS

- Default is 256. Increase this number in case you need lots of
- raw devices.

-config LEGACY_PTY_COUNT

- help
- The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
- The default is 256, and should be more than enough. Embedded
- systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
-
- When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
- architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.

-config UML_RANDOM
- tristate "Hardware random number generator"
- help
- This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It
- attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
- as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
- own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
- generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
- /dev/hwrng.
- The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
- (check your distro, or download from
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads
- /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
