I. Introduction

User Mode Linux (UML) is different from other Linux virtualization projects. UML tries its best to use itself as a common program. From Linux2.6.9, User mode Linux (UML) has been released along with the Linux kernel source code, which is stored in the arch/um directory. After compiling the UML kernel, you can run and debug the compiled kernel with gdb.
