It is not permissible to allow the hairs
of the moustache to touch the upper lip (the top part of the upper lip). This
area should always remain free of any hair touching it. If the hair is to touch
this part of the lip, ones moustache will be deemed to be too long and hence,
impermissible. Rasulullah has mentioned that whosoever lengthens his moustache
(i.e. allows it to touch the upper lip) will not attain my intercession (on the
Day of Judgment).
Lengthening the moustache on the sides without allowing the hair to touch the
upper lip as you have mentioned with regards to the practice of Hazrat Umar
Radhi Allahu Anhu is acceptable and perhaps even preferred during the days of
Jihad.
However, under normal circumstances the more preferred method to adopt is to
trim the moustache completely in such a way that the skin beneath the moustache
is visible.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
