Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves. Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments (which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a debuggable UML binary.

This controls whether arguments in guest processes should be shown on

the host's ps output.

Enabling this option hinders debugging on some recent GDB versions
|
|
(because GDB gets "confused" when we do an execvp()). So probably you
|
|
should disable it.

This option enables a debugging interface which allows gdb to debug

the kernel without needing to actually attach to kernel threads.

If you want to do kernel debugging, say Y here; otherwise say N.

This allows profiling of a User-Mode Linux kernel with the gprof

utility.

See <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/gprof.html> for more

If you're involved in UML kernel development and want to use gprof,

say Y. If you're unsure, say N.

This adds some system debugging to UML, including keeping a ring buffer
