Introduction from the translator: With various types of containers becoming a massive part of our lives, it can be quite interesting and useful to learn about the technologies that started it all. Some of them can still be usefully used today, but not everyone remembers them (or knows about them, if they weren't around during their rapid development). One such technology is User Mode. LinuxThe original author did a fair amount of digging, figuring out which old practices still work and which don't, and put together something like a step-by-step guide on how to create your own homegrown UML in 2k19. And yes, we've invited the original author to Habr. , so if you have any questions - ask in English in the comments.
User Mode in Linux - this is, in fact, a kernel port Linux on itself. This mode allows you to run a full-fledged kernel Linux as a user process and is typically used by developers for driver testing. However, this mode is also useful as a general isolation tool, similar in principle to how virtual machines work. This mode provides greater isolation than Docker, but less than a full-fledged virtual machine like KVM or Virtual Box.
Overall, User Mode may seem like a strange and difficult-to-use tool, but it does have its uses. After all, it's a full-fledged Linux- a kernel running as an unprivileged user. This feature allows potentially untrusted code to run without any threat to the host machine. And since it's a full-fledged kernel, its processes are isolated from the host machine, meaning processes running inside User Mode will not be visible to the host. This is not like the usual Docker container, in which case the host machine always sees the processes inside the repository. Look at this piece of pstree from one of my servers:
containerd─┬─containerd-shim─┬─tini─┬─dnsd───19*[{dnsd}]
│ │ └─s6-svscan───s6-supervise
│ └─10*[{containerd-shim}]
├─containerd-shim─┬─tini─┬─aerial───21*[{aerial}]
│ │ └─s6-svscan───s6-supervise
│ └─10*[{containerd-shim}]
├─containerd-shim─┬─tini─┬─s6-svscan───s6-supervise

│ └─10*[{containerd-shim}]
├─containerd-shim─┬─goproxy───14*[{goproxy}]
│ └─9*[{containerd-shim}]
└─32*[{containerd}]And compare this with the kernel's pstree Linux in User Mode:
linux─┬─5*[linux]
└─slirpWhen working with Docker containers, I can see the names of the processes running in the guest system from the host. Linux User Mode is impossible. What does this mean? It means that monitoring tools that work through the audit subsystem Linux (Linux's auditing subsystem) do not see processes running in the guest system. But in some situations, this feature can become a double-edged sword.
In general, the entire post below is a collection of research and rough attempts to achieve the desired result. To do this, I had to use various ancient tools, read the kernel sources, do intensive debugging of code written in the days when I was still in elementary school, and also tinker with Heroku builds using a special binary to find the tools I needed. All this work led the guys on my IRC to call me magic. I hope this post serves as reliable documentation for someone to try the same thing with newer kernels and OS versions.
Setting
Setting Linux User Mode is performed in several stages:
- installing dependencies on the host;
- downloading the kernel Linux;
- kernel build configuration;
- kernel assembly;
- binary installation;
- configuring the guest file system;
- selection of kernel launch parameters;
- setting up a guest network;
- starting the guest kernel.
I assume that if you decide to do all this yourself, you will most likely do everything described in some Ubuntu or Debian-like system. I tried to implement everything described above in my favorite distribution, Alpine, but nothing worked, apparently because the kernel Linux has a hard link to glibc-isms for user mode drivers. I plan to report this to upstream after I fully understand the issue.
Installing dependencies on the host
Ubuntu requires at least the following packages to build the kernel Linux (assuming a clean installation):
- 'build-essential'
- 'flex'
- 'bison'
- 'xz-utils'
- 'wget'
- 'ca-certificates'
- 'bc'
- 'linux-headers'
You can install them with the following command (as root or with sudo):
apt-get -y install build-essential flex bison xz-utils wget ca-certificates bc
linux-headers-$(uname -r) Please note that running the kernel menu setup program Linux will require installation libncurses-dev. Please make sure it is installed with the following command (as root or with sudo):
apt-get -y install libncurses-devKernel download
Decide where to download and then build the kernel. For this operation, you will need to allocate about 1,3 GB of hard disk space, so make sure you have it.
After go to and get the URL to download the latest stable kernel. At the time of writing this is:
Download this file using 'wget':
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.1.16.tar.xz And extract it with 'tar':
tar xJf linux-5.1.16.tar.xzNow we enter the directory created when unpacking the tarball:
cd linux-5.1.16Kernel build setup
The kernel build system is a set с many custom tools and scripts to automate the process. First, open the interactive setup program:
make ARCH=um menuconfig It will partially build and display a dialog box for you. When '[Select]', you will be able to configure using the Space or Enter keys. Navigate the window, as usual, with the keyboard arrows "up" and "down", and select elements - "left" or "right".
The view pointer —> means that you are in a submenu, accessed by pressing the Enter key. The way out of it is obviously through '[Exit]'.
Include the following options in '[Select]' and make sure they have a '[*]' next to them:
UML-specific Options:
- Host filesystem
Networking support (enable this to get the submenu to show up):
- Networking options:
- TCP/IP Networking
UML Network devices:
- Virtual network device
- SLiRP transport That's it, you can exit this window by successively selecting '[Exit]'. Just make sure you are prompted to save the configuration at the end and select '[Yes]'.
I recommend that you play around with the kernel build options after reading this post. Through these experiments, you can learn a lot in terms of understanding the work of low-level kernel mechanics and the impact of various flags on its assembly.
Building the kernel
Core Linux It's a large program that does a lot of things. Even with this minimal configuration, building it on older hardware can take quite a while. Therefore, build the kernel using the following command:
make ARCH=um -j$(nproc) For what? This command will tell our builder to use all available CPU cores and threads in the build process. Team $(nproc) at the end of Build substitutes the output of the command nproc, which is part of coreutils in standard assembly Ubuntu.
After some time, our kernel will be compiled into an executable file ./linux.
Installing the binary
Since User Mode is in Linux It creates a regular binary, so you can install it like any other utility. Here's how I did it:
mkdir -p ~/bin
cp linux ~/bin/linux It is also worth making sure that ~/bin is in your $PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/binSetting up the guest file system
Create a directory for the guest filesystem:
mkdir -p $HOME/prefix/uml-demo
cd $HOME/prefix
Open alpinelinux.org and in find the actual download link MINI ROOT FILESYSTEM. At the time of writing this was:
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.10.0-x86_64.tar.gzDownload this tarball using wget:
wget -O alpine-rootfs.tgz http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.10.0-x86_64.tar.gzNow enter the directory of the guest file system and extract the archive:
cd uml-demo
tar xf ../alpine-rootfs.tgzThe described actions will create a small file system template. Due to the nature of the system, it will be extremely difficult to install packages through the Alpine apk manager. But this FS will be enough to evaluate the general idea.
We also need a tool to curb memory consumption our guest kernel.
wget -O tini https://github.com/krallin/tini/releases/download/v0.18.0/tini-static
chmod +x tiniCreating a kernel command line
In the core Linux, like most other programs, there are command line arguments that can be accessed by specifying the key --help.
Himself —help
linux --help
User Mode Linux v5.1.16
available at http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
--showconfig
Prints the config file that this UML binary was generated from.
iomem=<name>,<file>
Configure <file> as an IO memory region named <name>.
mem=<Amount of desired ram>
This controls how much "physical" memory the kernel allocates
for the system. The size is specified as a number followed by
one of 'k', 'K', 'm', 'M', which have the obvious meanings.
This is not related to the amount of memory in the host. It can
be more, and the excess, if it's ever used, will just be swapped out.
Example: mem=64M
--help
Prints this message.
debug
this flag is not needed to run gdb on UML in skas mode
root=<file containing the root fs>
This is actually used by the generic kernel in exactly the same
way as in any other kernel. If you configure a number of block
devices and want to boot off something other than ubd0, you
would use something like:
root=/dev/ubd5
--version
Prints the version number of the kernel.
umid=<name>
This is used to assign a unique identity to this UML machine and
is used for naming the pid file and management console socket.
con[0-9]*=<channel description>
Attach a console or serial line to a host channel. See
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/input.html for a complete
description of this switch.
eth[0-9]+=<transport>,<options>
Configure a network device.
aio=2.4
This is used to force UML to use 2.4-style AIO even when 2.6 AIO is
available. 2.4 AIO is a single thread that handles one request at a
time, synchronously. 2.6 AIO is a thread which uses the 2.6 AIO
interface to handle an arbitrary number of pending requests. 2.6 AIO
is not available in tt mode, on 2.4 hosts, or when UML is built with
/usr/include/linux/aio_abi.h not available. Many distributions don't
include aio_abi.h, so you will need to copy it from a kernel tree to
your /usr/include/linux in order to build an AIO-capable UML
nosysemu
Turns off syscall emulation patch for ptrace (SYSEMU).
SYSEMU is a performance-patch introduced by Laurent Vivier. It changes
behaviour of ptrace() and helps reduce host context switch rates.
To make it work, you need a kernel patch for your host, too.
See http://perso.wanadoo.fr/laurent.vivier/UML/ for further
information.
uml_dir=<directory>
The location to place the pid and umid files.
quiet
Turns off information messages during boot.
hostfs=<root dir>,<flags>,...
This is used to set hostfs parameters. The root directory argument
is used to confine all hostfs mounts to within the specified directory
tree on the host. If this isn't specified, then a user inside UML can
mount anything on the host that's accessible to the user that's running
it.
The only flag currently supported is 'append', which specifies that all
files opened by hostfs will be opened in append mode.This panel highlights the main parameters of the launch. Let's run the kernel with the minimum required set of options:
linux
root=/dev/root
rootfstype=hostfs
rootflags=$HOME/prefix/uml-demo
rw
mem=64M
init=/bin/shThe lines above tell our kernel the following:
- Assume the root filesystem is a pseudo device
/dev/root. - Choose as a root filesystem driver.
- Mount the guest filesystem we created on the root device.
- And yes, in read-write mode.
- Use only 64 MB of RAM (you can use much less depending on what you plan to do, but 64 MB seems like the optimal amount).
- The kernel automatically starts
/bin/shHowinit-process.
Run this command and you should get something like the following:

/ # The manipulations above will give us guest system at minimum, without things like /proc or assigned hostname. For example, try the following commands:

To log out of the guest, type exit or press control-d. This will kill the shell followed by a kernel panic:
/ # exit
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000
fish: “./linux root=/dev/root rootflag…” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort) We got this kernel panic because the kernel Linux assumes that the initialization process is always running. Without it, the system can no longer function and terminates. But since this is a user-mode process, the resulting output sends itself to SIGABRT, which results in an output.
Guest network setup
But here's where things start to go wrong. Network in User Mode Linux — this is where the whole concept of a limited "user mode" begins to fall apart. After all, at the system level, the network is usually limited. privileged execution modes for all of us understandable reasons.
Note. per .: you can read more about the different options for working with a network in UML .
Journey to Slirp
However, there is an ancient and almost unsupported tool called , with the help of which User Mode Linux can interact with the network. It works somewhat like a stack TCP/IP at the user level and does not require any system permissions to run. This tool was released in 1995, and the latest update is dated 2006 year. Slirp is very old. During the time without support and updates, compilers have gone so far that now this tool can only be described as .
So, let's download Slirp from the repositories. Ubuntu and let's try to run it:

No locals.Here we see that the crash happens during the main loop start when slirp tries to check for timeouts. At this point, I had to give up trying to debug. But let's see if Slirp built from sorts works. I re-downloaded the archive directly from the site , because dragging something from there through the command line is a pain:
cd ~/dl
wget https://xena.greedo.xeserv.us/files/slirp-1.0.16.tar.gz
tar xf slirp-1.0.16.tar.gz
cd slirp-1.0.16/src
./configure --prefix=$HOME/prefix/slirp
make Here we see alerts about undefined built-in functions, that is, about the inability to link the resulting binary file. It appears that between 2006 and this point, gcc stopped producing symbols used in built-in functions of intermediate compiled files. Let's try to replace the keyword inline on an empty comment and look at the result:
vi slirp.h
:6
a
<enter>
#define inline /**/
<escape>
:wq
makeNope. This doesn't work either. Still can't find symbols for these functions.
At this point, I gave up and started looking on Github . My theory was that some Heroku build package would contain the binaries I needed. In the end, the search led me . I downloaded and unpacked uml.tar.gz and found the following:

Network configuration
Now let's set up the network on our guest kernel. :
linux
root=/dev/root
rootfstype=hostfs
rootflags=$HOME/prefix/uml-demo
rw
mem=64M
eth0=slirp,,$HOME/bin/slirp
init=/bin/shNow let's turn on the network:
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 10.0.2.15
route add default gw 10.0.2.2 The first two configuration commands /proc и /sys necessary for work ifconfig, which sets the network interface to communicate with Slirp. Team route sets the kernel routing table to force all traffic to be sent through the Slirp tunnel. Let's check this with a DNS query:
nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address 1: 8.8.8.8 dns.google
Name: google.com
Address 1: 172.217.12.206 lga25s63-in-f14.1e100.net
Address 2: 2607:f8b0:4006:81b::200e lga25s63-in-x0e.1e100.netWorks!
Note per .: Apparently, the original post was written on a desktop with a wired network card, or some other configuration that did not require additional drivers. On a laptop with WiFi 8265 from Intel, an error occurs when raising the network
/ # ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 10.0.2.15
slirp_tramp failed - errno = 2
ifconfig: ioctl 0x8914 failed: No such file or directory
/ #Apparently, the kernel cannot communicate with the network card driver. An attempt to compile the firmware into the kernel, unfortunately, did not fix the situation. At the time of publication, it was not possible to find a solution in this configuration. On simpler configs (for example, in Virtualbox), the interface rises correctly.
Let's automate the redirect with the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
# init.sh
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 10.0.2.15
route add default gw 10.0.2.2
echo "networking set up"
exec /tini /bin/shAnd mark it executable:
chmod +x init.shAnd then we will make changes to the kernel command line:

To make it easier for you to check all this, I have collected , which automates most of the steps described and should give you a working configuration. I also have , which has everything that is described in the post. But it is important to understand that here I have outlined only the minimum setting.
I hope this post helped you understand how to get a guest kernel up and running. It's a bit of a monster, but the intention was to provide a comprehensive guide on building, installing, and configuring User Mode. Linux under modern versions of operating systems of this family. Subsequent steps should include installing services and other software within the guest system. Since Docker container images are simply hyped-up tarballs, you should be able to extract the image via docker export, and then determine its installation path in the root of the guest kernel's file system. Well, then execute the shell script.
Special thanks to Rkeene from #lobsters on Freenode. Without his help debugging Slirp, I wouldn't have gotten this far. I have no idea how his Slackware system works correctly with slirp, but my systems do. Ubuntu and Alpine didn't accept slirp and the binary Rkeene offered me. But it's enough for me that at least something works.
