Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, though more than usually well contained to Documentation/ itself. Highlights include: - The Chinese translators have been busy and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. Italian has also caught up. - Aditya Srivastava has been working on improvements to the kernel-doc script. - Thorsten continues his work on reporting-issues.rst and related documentation around regression reporting. - Lots of documentation updates, typo fixes, etc. as usual" * tag 'docs-5.13' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (139 commits) docs/zh_CN: add openrisc translation to zh_CN index docs/zh_CN: add openrisc index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add openrisc todo.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add openrisc openrisc_port.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core api translation to zh_CN index docs/zh_CN: add core-api index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core-api irq index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core-api irq irqflags-tracing.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core-api irq irq-domain.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core-api irq irq-affinity.rst translation docs/zh_CN: add core-api irq concepts.rst translation docs: sphinx-pre-install: don't barf on beta Sphinx releases scripts: kernel-doc: improve parsing for kernel-doc comments syntax docs/zh_CN: two minor fixes in zh_CN/doc-guide/ Documentation: dev-tools: Add Testing Overview docs/zh_CN: add translations in zh_CN/dev-tools/gcov docs: reporting-issues: make people CC the regressions list MAINTAINERS: add regressions mailing list doc:it_IT: align Italian documentation docs/zh_CN: sync reporting-issues.rst ...

| 9 | ++++++++++++++ | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Background | ||
| 12 | ========== | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | The upstream Linux kernel maintainers only fix bugs for specific kernel | ||
| 15 | versions. Those versions include the current "release candidate" (or -rc) | ||
| 16 | kernel, any "stable" kernel versions, and any "long term" kernels. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Please see https://www.kernel.org/ for a list of supported kernels. Any | ||
| 19 | kernel marked with [EOL] is "end of life" and will not have any fixes | ||
| 20 | backported to it. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | If you've found a bug on a kernel version that isn't listed on kernel.org, | ||
| 23 | contact your Linux distribution or embedded vendor for support. | ||
| 24 | Alternatively, you can attempt to run one of the supported stable or -rc | ||
| 25 | kernels, and see if you can reproduce the bug on that. It's preferable | ||
| 26 | to reproduce the bug on the latest -rc kernel. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | How to report Linux kernel bugs | ||
| 30 | =============================== | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Identify the problematic subsystem | ||
| 34 | ---------------------------------- | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | Identifying which part of the Linux kernel might be causing your issue | ||
| 37 | increases your chances of getting your bug fixed. Simply posting to the | ||
| 38 | generic linux-kernel mailing list (LKML) may cause your bug report to be | ||
| 39 | lost in the noise of a mailing list that gets 1000+ emails a day. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Instead, try to figure out which kernel subsystem is causing the issue, | ||
| 42 | and email that subsystem's maintainer and mailing list. If the subsystem | ||
| 43 | maintainer doesn't answer, then expand your scope to mailing lists like | ||
| 44 | LKML. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Identify who to notify | ||
| 48 | ---------------------- | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | Once you know the subsystem that is causing the issue, you should send a | ||
| 51 | bug report. Some maintainers prefer bugs to be reported via bugzilla | ||
| 52 | (https://bugzilla.kernel.org), while others prefer that bugs be reported | ||
| 53 | via the subsystem mailing list. | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | To find out where to send an emailed bug report, find your subsystem or | ||
| 56 | device driver in the MAINTAINERS file. Search in the file for relevant | ||
| 57 | entries, and send your bug report to the person(s) listed in the "M:" | ||
| 58 | lines, making sure to Cc the mailing list(s) in the "L:" lines. When the | ||
| 59 | maintainer replies to you, make sure to 'Reply-all' in order to keep the | ||
| 60 | public mailing list(s) in the email thread. | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | If you know which driver is causing issues, you can pass one of the driver | ||
| 63 | files to the get_maintainer.pl script:: | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <filename> | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | If it is a security bug, please copy the Security Contact listed in the | ||
| 68 | MAINTAINERS file. They can help coordinate bugfix and disclosure. See | ||
| 69 | :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst <securitybugs>` for more information. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | If you can't figure out which subsystem caused the issue, you should file | ||
| 72 | a bug in kernel.org bugzilla and send email to | ||
| 73 | linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, referencing the bugzilla URL. (For more | ||
| 74 | information on the linux-kernel mailing list see | ||
| 75 | http://vger.kernel.org/lkml/). | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | Tips for reporting bugs | ||
| 79 | ----------------------- | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | If you haven't reported a bug before, please read: | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | It's REALLY important to report bugs that seem unrelated as separate email | ||
| 88 | threads or separate bugzilla entries. If you report several unrelated | ||
| 89 | bugs at once, it's difficult for maintainers to tease apart the relevant | ||
| 90 | data. | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | Gather information | ||
| 94 | ------------------ | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | The most important information in a bug report is how to reproduce the | ||
| 97 | bug. This includes system information, and (most importantly) | ||
| 98 | step-by-step instructions for how a user can trigger the bug. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | If the failure includes an "OOPS:", take a picture of the screen, capture | ||
| 101 | a netconsole trace, or type the message from your screen into the bug | ||
| 102 | report. Please read "Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst" before posting your | ||
| 103 | bug report. This explains what you should do with the "Oops" information | ||
| 104 | to make it useful to the recipient. | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | This is a suggested format for a bug report sent via email or bugzilla. | ||
| 107 | Having a standardized bug report form makes it easier for you not to | ||
| 108 | overlook things, and easier for the developers to find the pieces of | ||
| 109 | information they're really interested in. If some information is not | ||
| 110 | relevant to your bug, feel free to exclude it. | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | First run the ver_linux script included as scripts/ver_linux, which | ||
| 113 | reports the version of some important subsystems. Run this script with | ||
| 114 | the command ``awk -f scripts/ver_linux``. | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | Use that information to fill in all fields of the bug report form, and | ||
| 117 | post it to the mailing list with a subject of "PROBLEM: <one line | ||
| 118 | summary from [1.]>" for easy identification by the developers:: | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | [1.] One line summary of the problem: | ||
| 121 | [2.] Full description of the problem/report: | ||
| 122 | [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): | ||
| 123 | [4.] Kernel information | ||

| 127 | [6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information | ||
| 128 | resolved (see Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst) | ||
| 129 | [7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the | ||
| 130 | problem (if possible) | ||
| 131 | [8.] Environment | ||
| 132 | [8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here) | ||
| 133 | [8.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo): | ||
| 134 | [8.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules): | ||
| 135 | [8.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem) | ||
| 136 | [8.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root) | ||
| 137 | [8.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi) | ||
| 138 | [8.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem | ||
| 139 | (please look in /proc and include all information that you | ||
| 140 | think to be relevant): | ||
| 141 | [X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds: | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | Follow up | ||
| 145 | ========= | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | Expectations for bug reporters | ||
| 148 | ------------------------------ | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | Linux kernel maintainers expect bug reporters to be able to follow up on | ||
| 151 | bug reports. That may include running new tests, applying patches, | ||
| 152 | recompiling your kernel, and/or re-triggering your bug. The most | ||
| 153 | frustrating thing for maintainers is for someone to report a bug, and then | ||
| 154 | never follow up on a request to try out a fix. | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | That said, it's still useful for a kernel maintainer to know a bug exists | ||
| 157 | on a supported kernel, even if you can't follow up with retests. Follow | ||
| 158 | up reports, such as replying to the email thread with "I tried the latest | ||
| 159 | kernel and I can't reproduce my bug anymore" are also helpful, because | ||
| 160 | maintainers have to assume silence means things are still broken. | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | Expectations for kernel maintainers | ||
| 163 | ----------------------------------- | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | Linux kernel maintainers are busy, overworked human beings. Some times | ||
| 166 | they may not be able to address your bug in a day, a week, or two weeks. | ||
| 167 | If they don't answer your email, they may be on vacation, or at a Linux | ||
| 168 | conference. Check the conference schedule at https://LWN.net for more info: | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | https://lwn.net/Calendar/ | ||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | In general, kernel maintainers take 1 to 5 business days to respond to | ||
| 173 | bugs. The majority of kernel maintainers are employed to work on the | ||
| 174 | kernel, and they may not work on the weekends. Maintainers are scattered | ||
| 175 | around the world, and they may not work in your time zone. Unless you | ||
| 176 | have a high priority bug, please wait at least a week after the first bug | ||
| 177 | report before sending the maintainer a reminder email. | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | The exceptions to this rule are regressions, kernel crashes, security holes, | ||
| 180 | or userspace breakage caused by new kernel behavior. Those bugs should be | ||
| 181 | addressed by the maintainers ASAP. If you suspect a maintainer is not | ||
| 182 | responding to these types of bugs in a timely manner (especially during a | ||
| 183 | merge window), escalate the bug to LKML and Linus Torvalds. | ||
| 184 | |||

| 180 | face one of those if something breaks when updating from 5.10.4 to 5.10.5 (a | ||
| 181 | switch from 5.9.15 to 5.10.5 does not qualify). The developers want to fix such | ||
| 182 | regressions as quickly as possible, hence there is a streamlined process to | ||
| 183 | report them: | ||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | * Check if the kernel developers still maintain the Linux kernel version | ||
| 186 | line you care about: go to the `front page of kernel.org | ||

| 188 | the latest release of the particular version line without an '[EOL]' tag. | ||
| 189 | |||
| 190 | * Check the archives of the `Linux stable mailing list | ||
| 191 | <https://lore.kernel.org/stable/>`_ for existing reports. | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | * Install the latest release from the particular version line as a vanilla | ||
| 194 | kernel. Ensure this kernel is not tainted and still shows the problem, as | ||
| 195 | the issue might have already been fixed there. If you first noticed the | ||
| 196 | problem with a vendor kernel, check a vanilla build of the last version | ||
| 197 | known to work performs fine as well. | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | * Send a short problem report to the Linux stable mailing list | ||
| 200 | (stable@vger.kernel.org) and CC the Linux regressions mailing list | ||
| 201 | (regressions@lists.linux.dev). Roughly describe the issue and ideally | ||

| 322 | regular Fedora releases, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. But keep in mind, you better | ||
| 323 | want to use a mainline Linux and avoid using a stable kernel for this | ||
| 324 | process, as outlined in the section 'Install a fresh kernel for testing' in more | ||
| 325 | detail. | ||
| 326 | |||
| 327 | Obviously you are free to ignore all this advice and report problems with an old | ||
| 328 | or heavily modified vendor kernel to the upstream Linux developers. But note, | ||
| 329 | those often get rejected or ignored, so consider yourself warned. But it's still | ||
| 330 | better than not reporting the issue at all: sometimes such reports directly or | ||
| 331 | indirectly will help to get the issue fixed over time. | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | Search for existing reports, first run | ||
| 335 | -------------------------------------- | ||
| 336 | |||
| 337 | *Perform a rough search for existing reports with your favorite internet | ||
| 338 | search engine; additionally, check the archives of the Linux Kernel Mailing | ||
| 339 | List (LKML). If you find matching reports, join the discussion instead of | ||
| 340 | sending a new one.* | ||
| 341 | |||
| 342 | Reporting an issue that someone else already brought forward is often a waste of | ||
| 343 | time for everyone involved, especially you as the reporter. So it's in your own | ||
| 344 | interest to thoroughly check if somebody reported the issue already. At this | ||
| 345 | step of the process it's okay to just perform a rough search: a later step will | ||
| 346 | tell you to perform a more detailed search once you know where your issue needs | ||
| 347 | to be reported to. Nevertheless, do not hurry with this step of the reporting | ||
| 348 | process, it can save you time and trouble. | ||
| 349 | |||
| 350 | Simply search the internet with your favorite search engine first. Afterwards, | ||
| 351 | search the `Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) archives | ||
| 352 | <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/>`_. | ||
| 310 | 353 | ||
| 311 | *Note: Some Linux kernel developers accept reports from vendor kernels that | 354 | If you get flooded with results consider telling your search engine to limit |
| 312 | are known to be close to upstream. That for example is often the case for | 355 | search timeframe to the past month or year. And wherever you search, make sure |
| 313 | the kernels that Debian GNU/Linux Sid or Fedora Rawhide ship, which are | 356 | to use good search terms; vary them a few times, too. While doing so try to |
| 314 | normally following mainline closely and carry only a few patches. So a | 357 | look at the issue from the perspective of someone else: that will help you to |
| 315 | report with one of these might be accepted by the developers that need to | 358 | come up with other words to use as search terms. Also make sure not to use too |
| 316 | handle it. But if they do, depends heavily on the individual developers and | 359 | many search terms at once. Remember to search with and without information like |
| 317 | the issue at hand. That's why installing a mainline vanilla kernel is the | 360 | the name of the kernel driver or the name of the affected hardware component. |
| 318 | safe bet.* | 361 | But its exact brand name (say 'ASUS Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC') |
| 362 | often is not much helpful, as it is too specific. Instead try search terms like | ||
| 363 | the model line (Radeon 5700 or Radeon 5000) and the code name of the main chip | ||
| 364 | ('Navi' or 'Navi10') with and without its manufacturer ('AMD'). | ||

| 320 | *Arch Linux, other Fedora releases, and openSUSE Tumbleweed often use quite | 366 | In case you find an existing report about your issue, join the discussion, as |
| 321 | recent stable kernels that are pretty close to upstream, too. Some | 367 | you might be able to provide valuable additional information. That can be |

| 326 | Are there any other major Linux distributions that should be mentioned here? | 373 | Note, searching `bugzilla.kernel.org <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/>`_ might also |
| 374 | be a good idea, as that might provide valuable insights or turn up matching | ||
| 375 | reports. If you find the latter, just keep in mind: most subsystems expect | ||
| 376 | reports in different places, as described below in the section "Check where you | ||
| 377 | need to report your issue". The developers that should take care of the issue | ||
| 378 | thus might not even be aware of the bugzilla ticket. Hence, check the ticket if | ||
| 379 | the issue already got reported as outlined in this document and if not consider | ||
| 380 | doing so. | ||

| 422 | Ensure a healthy environment | ||
| 423 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 424 | |||
| 425 | *Make sure it's not the kernel's surroundings that are causing the issue | ||
| 426 | you face.* | ||
| 427 | |||
| 428 | Problems that look a lot like a kernel issue are sometimes caused by build or | ||
| 429 | runtime environment. It's hard to rule out that problem completely, but you | ||
| 430 | should minimize it: | ||
| 431 | |||
| 432 | * Use proven tools when building your kernel, as bugs in the compiler or the | ||
| 433 | binutils can cause the resulting kernel to misbehave. | ||
| 434 | |||
| 435 | * Ensure your computer components run within their design specifications; | ||
| 436 | that's especially important for the main processor, the main memory, and the | ||
| 437 | motherboard. Therefore, stop undervolting or overclocking when facing a | ||
| 438 | potential kernel issue. | ||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | * Try to make sure it's not faulty hardware that is causing your issue. Bad | ||
| 441 | main memory for example can result in a multitude of issues that will | ||
| 442 | manifest itself in problems looking like kernel issues. | ||
| 443 | |||
| 444 | * If you're dealing with a filesystem issue, you might want to check the file | ||
| 445 | system in question with ``fsck``, as it might be damaged in a way that leads | ||
| 446 | to unexpected kernel behavior. | ||
| 447 | |||
| 448 | * When dealing with a regression, make sure it's not something else that | ||
| 449 | changed in parallel to updating the kernel. The problem for example might be | ||
| 450 | caused by other software that was updated at the same time. It can also | ||
| 451 | happen that a hardware component coincidentally just broke when you rebooted | ||
| 452 | into a new kernel for the first time. Updating the systems BIOS or changing | ||
| 453 | something in the BIOS Setup can also lead to problems that on look a lot | ||
| 454 | like a kernel regression. | ||
| 455 | |||
| 456 | |||
| 457 | Prepare for emergencies | ||
| 458 | ----------------------- | ||
| 459 | |||
| 460 | *Create a fresh backup and put system repair and restore tools at hand.* | ||
| 461 | |||
| 462 | Reminder, you are dealing with computers, which sometimes do unexpected things, | ||
| 463 | especially if you fiddle with crucial parts like the kernel of its operating | ||
| 464 | system. That's what you are about to do in this process. Thus, make sure to | ||
| 465 | create a fresh backup; also ensure you have all tools at hand to repair or | ||
| 466 | reinstall the operating system as well as everything you need to restore the | ||
| 467 | backup. | ||
| 468 | |||
| 469 | |||
| 470 | Make sure your kernel doesn't get enhanced | ||
| 471 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | *Ensure your system does not enhance its kernels by building additional | ||
| 474 | kernel modules on-the-fly, which solutions like DKMS might be doing locally | ||
| 475 | without your knowledge.* | ||
| 476 | |||
| 477 | The risk your issue report gets ignored or rejected dramatically increases if | ||
| 478 | your kernel gets enhanced in any way. That's why you should remove or disable | ||
| 479 | mechanisms like akmods and DKMS: those build add-on kernel modules | ||
| 480 | automatically, for example when you install a new Linux kernel or boot it for | ||
| 481 | the first time. Also remove any modules they might have installed. Then reboot | ||
| 482 | before proceeding. | ||
| 483 | |||
| 484 | Note, you might not be aware that your system is using one of these solutions: | ||
| 485 | they often get set up silently when you install Nvidia's proprietary graphics | ||
| 486 | driver, VirtualBox, or other software that requires a some support from a | ||
| 487 | module not part of the Linux kernel. That why your might need to uninstall the | ||

| 561 | |||
| 562 | *Write down coarsely how to reproduce the issue. If you deal with multiple | ||
| 563 | issues at once, create separate notes for each of them and make sure they | ||
| 564 | work independently on a freshly booted system. That's needed, as each issue | ||
| 565 | needs to get reported to the kernel developers separately, unless they are | ||
| 566 | strongly entangled.* | ||
| 567 | |||
| 568 | If you deal with multiple issues at once, you'll have to report each of them | ||
| 569 | separately, as they might be handled by different developers. Describing | ||
| 570 | various issues in one report also makes it quite difficult for others to tear | ||
| 571 | it apart. Hence, only combine issues in one report if they are very strongly | ||
| 572 | entangled. | ||
| 573 | |||
| 574 | Additionally, during the reporting process you will have to test if the issue | ||
| 575 | happens with other kernel versions. Therefore, it will make your work easier if | ||
| 576 | you know exactly how to reproduce an issue quickly on a freshly booted system. | ||
| 577 | |||
| 578 | Note: it's often fruitless to report issues that only happened once, as they | ||
| 579 | might be caused by a bit flip due to cosmic radiation. That's why you should | ||
| 580 | try to rule that out by reproducing the issue before going further. Feel free | ||
| 581 | to ignore this advice if you are experienced enough to tell a one-time error | ||
| 582 | due to faulty hardware apart from a kernel issue that rarely happens and thus | ||
| 583 | is hard to reproduce. | ||

| 592 | |||
| 593 | Regression within a stable and longterm kernel version line are something the | ||
| 594 | Linux developers want to fix badly, as such issues are even more unwanted than | ||
| 595 | regression in the main development branch, as they can quickly affect a lot of | ||
| 596 | people. The developers thus want to learn about such issues as quickly as | ||
| 597 | possible, hence there is a streamlined process to report them. Note, | ||

| 693 | Your kernel must be 'vanilla' when reporting an issue, but stops being pure as | ||
| 694 | soon as it loads a kernel module not built from the sources used to compile the | ||
| 695 | kernel image itself. That's why you need to ensure your Linux kernel stays | ||
| 696 | vanilla by removing or disabling mechanisms like akmods and DKMS: those might | ||
| 697 | build additional kernel modules automatically, for example when your boot into | ||
| 698 | a newly installed Linux kernel the first time. Reboot after removing them and | ||

| 711 | *Make sure it's not the kernel's surroundings that are causing the issue | ||
| 712 | you face.* | ||
| 713 | |||
| 714 | Problems that look a lot like a kernel issue are sometimes caused by build or | ||
| 715 | runtime environment. It's hard to rule out that problem completely, but you | ||
| 716 | should minimize it: | ||
| 717 | |||
| 718 | * Use proven tools when building your kernel, as bugs in the compiler or the | ||
| 719 | binutils can cause the resulting kernel to misbehave. | ||
| 720 | |||
| 721 | * Ensure your computer components run within their design specifications; | ||
| 722 | that's especially important for the main processor, the main memory, and the | ||
| 723 | motherboard. Therefore, stop undervolting or overclocking when facing a | ||
| 724 | potential kernel issue. | ||
| 725 | |||
| 726 | * Try to make sure it's not faulty hardware that is causing your issue. Bad | ||
| 727 | main memory for example can result in a multitude of issues that will | ||
| 728 | manifest itself in problems looking like kernel issues. | ||
| 729 | |||
| 730 | * If you're dealing with a filesystem issue, you might want to check the file | ||
| 731 | system in question with ``fsck``, as it might be damaged in a way that leads | ||
| 732 | to unexpected kernel behavior. | ||
| 733 | |||
| 734 | * When dealing with a regression, make sure it's not something else that | ||
| 735 | changed in parallel to updating the kernel. The problem for example might be | ||
| 736 | caused by other software that was updated at the same time. It can also | ||
| 737 | happen that a hardware component coincidentally just broke when you rebooted | ||
| 738 | into a new kernel for the first time. Updating the systems BIOS or changing | ||
| 739 | something in the BIOS Setup can also lead to problems that on look a lot | ||
| 740 | like a kernel regression. | ||
| 741 | |||
| 742 | 772 | ||
| 743 | Document how to reproduce issue | 773 | For details how to search and what to do if you find matching reports see |
| 744 | ------------------------------- | 774 | "Search for existing reports, first run" above. |
| 745 | 775 | ||
| 746 | *Write down coarsely how to reproduce the issue. If you deal with multiple | 776 | Do not hurry with this step of the reporting process: spending 30 to 60 minutes |
| 747 | issues at once, create separate notes for each of them and make sure they | 777 | or even more time can save you and others quite a lot of time and trouble. |
| 748 | work independently on a freshly booted system. That's needed, as each issue | ||
| 749 | needs to get reported to the kernel developers separately, unless they are | ||
| 750 | strongly entangled.* | ||
| 751 | |||
| 752 | If you deal with multiple issues at once, you'll have to report each of them | ||
| 753 | separately, as they might be handled by different developers. Describing | ||
| 754 | various issues in one report also makes it quite difficult for others to tear | ||
| 755 | it apart. Hence, only combine issues in one report if they are very strongly | ||
| 756 | entangled. | ||
| 757 | |||
| 758 | Additionally, during the reporting process you will have to test if the issue | ||
| 759 | happens with other kernel versions. Therefore, it will make your work easier if | ||
| 760 | you know exactly how to reproduce an issue quickly on a freshly booted system. | ||
| 761 | |||
| 762 | Note: it's often fruitless to report issues that only happened once, as they | ||
| 763 | might be caused by a bit flip due to cosmic radiation. That's why you should | ||
| 764 | try to rule that out by reproducing the issue before going further. Feel free | ||
| 765 | to ignore this advice if you are experienced enough to tell a one-time error | ||
| 766 | due to faulty hardware apart from a kernel issue that rarely happens and thus | ||
| 767 | is hard to reproduce. | ||

| 777 | merge window; but during that period you might want to suspend your efforts | 787 | approach, but in that development phase it can be an even better idea to |
| 778 | till its end anyway.* | 788 | suspend your efforts for a few days anyway. Whatever version you choose, |
| 779 | 789 | ideally use a 'vanilla' built. Ignoring these advices will dramatically | |
| 780 | Reporting an issue to the Linux kernel developers they fixed weeks or months | 790 | increase the risk your report will be rejected or ignored.* |
| 781 | ago is annoying for them and wasting their and your time. That's why it's in | 791 | |
| 782 | everybody's interest to check if the issue occurs with the latest codebase | 792 | As mentioned in the detailed explanation for the first step already: Like most |
| 783 | before reporting it. | 793 | programmers, Linux kernel developers don't like to spend time dealing with |
| 784 | 794 | reports for issues that don't even happen with the current code. It's just a | |
| 785 | In the scope of the Linux kernel the term 'latest' means: a kernel version | 795 | waste everybody's time, especially yours. That's why it's in everybody's |
| 786 | recently created from the main line of development, as this 'mainline' tree is | 796 | interest that you confirm the issue still exists with the latest upstream code |
| 787 | where developers first apply fixes; only after that are they are allowed to get | 797 | before reporting it. You are free to ignore this advice, but as outlined |
| 788 | backported to older, still supported version lines called 'stable' and | 798 | earlier: doing so dramatically increases the risk that your issue report might |
| 789 | 'longterm' kernels. That's why you should check a recent mainline kernel, even | 799 | get rejected or simply ignored. |
| 790 | if you deal with an issue you only want to see fixed in an older version line. | 800 | |
| 791 | Another reason: some fixes are only applied to mainline or recent version | 801 | In the scope of the kernel "latest upstream" normally means: |
| 792 | lines, as it's too hard or risky to backport them to older versions. If that | 802 | |
| 793 | the case, reporting the issue again is unlikely to change anything. | 803 | * Install a mainline kernel; the latest stable kernel can be an option, but |
| 794 | 804 | most of the time is better avoided. Longterm kernels (sometimes called 'LTS | |
| 795 | Longterm kernels (sometimes called "LTS kernels") are therefore unsuitable for | 805 | kernels') are unsuitable at this point of the process. The next subsection |

| 797 | Linux 'stable' kernel is a significant bit behind and thus better avoided. At | 807 | |
| 798 | least most of the time, as sometimes a stable kernel can the best choice; but | 808 | * The over next subsection describes way to obtain and install such a kernel. |
| 799 | in those situations you might want to wait a few days anyway: | 809 | It also outlines that using a pre-compiled kernel are fine, but better are |
| 800 | 810 | vanilla, which means: it was built using Linux sources taken straight `from | |

| 1524 | |||
| 1525 | Did you first notice the regression with a vendor kernel? Then changes the | ||
| 1526 | vendor applied might be interfering. You need to rule that out by performing | ||
| 1527 | a recheck. Say something broke when you updated from 5.10.4-vendor.42 to | ||
| 1528 | 5.10.5-vendor.43. Then after testing the latest 5.10 release as outlined in | ||
| 1529 | the previous paragraph check if a vanilla build of Linux 5.10.4 works fine as | ||
| 1530 | well. If things are broken there, the issue does not qualify as upstream | ||
| 1531 | regression and you need switch back to the main step-by-step guide to report | ||
| 1532 | the issue. | ||
| 1533 | |||
| 1534 | Report the regression | ||
| 1535 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1536 | |||
| 1537 | *Send a short problem report to the Linux stable mailing list | ||
| 1538 | (stable@vger.kernel.org) and CC the Linux regressions mailing list | ||
| 1539 | (regressions@lists.linux.dev). Roughly describe the issue and ideally | ||
| 1540 | explain how to reproduce it. Mention the first version that shows the | ||
| 1541 | problem and the last version that's working fine. Then wait for further | ||
| 1542 | instructions.* | ||
| 1543 | |||
| 1544 | When reporting a regression that happens within a stable or longterm kernel | ||
| 1545 | line (say when updating from 5.10.4 to 5.10.5) a brief report is enough for | ||
| 1546 | the start to get the issue reported quickly. Hence a rough description is all | ||
| 1547 | it takes. | ||
| 1548 | |||
| 1549 | But note, it helps developers a great deal if you can specify the exact version | ||
| 1550 | that introduced the problem. Hence if possible within a reasonable time frame, | ||
| 1551 | try to find that version using vanilla kernels. Lets assume something broke when | ||
| 1552 | your distributor released a update from Linux kernel 5.10.5 to 5.10.8. Then as | ||
| 1553 | instructed above go and check the latest kernel from that version line, say | ||
| 1554 | 5.10.9. If it shows the problem, try a vanilla 5.10.5 to ensure that no patches | ||
| 1555 | the distributor applied interfere. If the issue doesn't manifest itself there, | ||
| 1556 | try 5.10.7 and then (depending on the outcome) 5.10.8 or 5.10.6 to find the | ||
| 1557 | first version where things broke. Mention it in the report and state that 5.10.9 | ||
| 1558 | is still broken. | ||
| 1559 | |||
| 1560 | What the previous paragraph outlines is basically a rough manual 'bisection'. | ||
| 1561 | Once your report is out your might get asked to do a proper one, as it allows to | ||
| 1562 | pinpoint the exact change that causes the issue (which then can easily get | ||
| 1563 | reverted to fix the issue quickly). Hence consider to do a proper bisection | ||
| 1564 | right away if time permits. See the section 'Special care for regressions' and | ||
| 1565 | the document 'Documentation/admin-guide/bug-bisect.rst' for details how to | ||
| 1566 | perform one. | ||

| 1518 | |||
| 1519 | *Check if you're dealing with a regression that was never present in | ||
| 1520 | mainline by installing the first release of the version line you care | ||
| 1521 | about. If the issue doesn't show up with it, you basically need to report | ||
| 1522 | the issue with this version like you would report a problem with mainline | ||
| 1523 | (see above). This ideally includes a bisection followed by a search for | ||
| 1524 | existing reports on the net; with the help of the subject and the two | ||
| 1525 | relevant commit-ids. If that doesn't turn up anything, write the report; CC | ||
| 1526 | or forward the report to the stable maintainers, the stable mailing list, | ||
| 1527 | and those who authored the change. Include the shortened commit-id if you | ||
| 1528 | found the change that causes it.* | ||
| 1529 | |||
| 1530 | Sometimes you won't find anything in the previous step: the issue you face | ||
| 1531 | might have never occurred in mainline, as it is caused by some change that is | ||
| 1532 | incomplete or not correctly applied. To check this, install the first release | ||
| 1533 | from version line you care about, e.g., if you care about 5.4.x, install 5.4. | ||
| 1534 | |||
| 1535 | If the issue doesn't show itself there, it's a regression specific to the | ||
| 1536 | particular version line. In that case you need to report it like an issue | ||
| 1537 | happening in mainline, like the last few steps in the main section in the above | ||
| 1538 | outline. | ||
| 1539 | |||
| 1540 | One of them suggests doing a bisection, which you are strongly advised to do in | ||
| 1541 | this case. After finding the culprit, search the net for existing reports | ||
| 1542 | again: not only search for the exact subject and the commit-id (proper and | ||
| 1543 | shortened to twelve characters) of the change, but also for the commit-id | ||
| 1544 | (proper and shortened) mentioned as 'Upstream commit' in the commit message. | ||
| 1545 | |||
| 1546 | Write the report; just keep a few specialties in mind: CC or forward the report | ||
| 1547 | to the stable maintainers, the stable mailing list, which the :ref:`MAINTAINERS | ||
| 1548 | <maintainers>` file mentions in the section "STABLE BRANCH". If you performed a | ||

| 3 | ========== | ||
| 4 | Checkpatch | ||
| 5 | ========== | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Checkpatch (scripts/checkpatch.pl) is a perl script which checks for trivial | ||
| 8 | style violations in patches and optionally corrects them. Checkpatch can | ||
| 9 | also be run on file contexts and without the kernel tree. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Checkpatch is not always right. Your judgement takes precedence over checkpatch | ||
| 12 | messages. If your code looks better with the violations, then its probably | ||
| 13 | best left alone. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | Options | ||
| 17 | ======= | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | This section will describe the options checkpatch can be run with. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Usage:: | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl [OPTION]... [FILE]... | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | Available options: | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | - -q, --quiet | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Enable quiet mode. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | - -v, --verbose | ||
| 32 | Enable verbose mode. Additional verbose test descriptions are output | ||
| 33 | so as to provide information on why that particular message is shown. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | - --no-tree | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | Run checkpatch without the kernel tree. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | - --no-signoff | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Disable the 'Signed-off-by' line check. The sign-off is a simple line at | ||
| 42 | the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it | ||
| 43 | or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | Example:: | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Setting this flag effectively stops a message for a missing signed-off-by | ||
| 50 | line in a patch context. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | - --patch | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | Treat FILE as a patch. This is the default option and need not be | ||
| 55 | explicitly specified. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | - --emacs | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | Set output to emacs compile window format. This allows emacs users to jump | ||
| 60 | from the error in the compile window directly to the offending line in the | ||
| 61 | patch. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | - --terse | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | Output only one line per report. | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | - --showfile | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | Show the diffed file position instead of the input file position. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | - -g, --git | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | Treat FILE as a single commit or a git revision range. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | Single commit with: | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | - <rev> | ||
| 78 | - <rev>^ | ||
| 79 | - <rev>~n | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | Multiple commits with: | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | - <rev1>..<rev2> | ||
| 84 | - <rev1>...<rev2> | ||
| 85 | - <rev>-<count> | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | - -f, --file | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | Treat FILE as a regular source file. This option must be used when running | ||
| 90 | checkpatch on source files in the kernel. | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | - --subjective, --strict | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | Enable stricter tests in checkpatch. By default the tests emitted as CHECK | ||
| 95 | do not activate by default. Use this flag to activate the CHECK tests. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | - --list-types | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | Every message emitted by checkpatch has an associated TYPE. Add this flag | ||
| 100 | to display all the types in checkpatch. | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | Note that when this flag is active, checkpatch does not read the input FILE, | ||
| 103 | and no message is emitted. Only a list of types in checkpatch is output. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | - --types TYPE(,TYPE2...) | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | Only display messages with the given types. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | Example:: | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl mypatch.patch --types EMAIL_SUBJECT,BRACES | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | - --ignore TYPE(,TYPE2...) | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | Checkpatch will not emit messages for the specified types. | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | Example:: | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl mypatch.patch --ignore EMAIL_SUBJECT,BRACES | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | - --show-types | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | By default checkpatch doesn't display the type associated with the messages. | ||
| 124 | Set this flag to show the message type in the output. | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | - --max-line-length=n | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | Set the max line length (default 100). If a line exceeds the specified | ||
| 129 | length, a LONG_LINE message is emitted. | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | The message level is different for patch and file contexts. For patches, | ||
| 133 | a WARNING is emitted. While a milder CHECK is emitted for files. So for | ||
| 134 | file contexts, the --strict flag must also be enabled. | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | - --min-conf-desc-length=n | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | Set the Kconfig entry minimum description length, if shorter, warn. | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | - --tab-size=n | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | Set the number of spaces for tab (default 8). | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | - --root=PATH | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | PATH to the kernel tree root. | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | This option must be specified when invoking checkpatch from outside | ||
| 149 | the kernel root. | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | - --no-summary | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | Suppress the per file summary. | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | - --mailback | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | Only produce a report in case of Warnings or Errors. Milder Checks are | ||
| 158 | excluded from this. | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | - --summary-file | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | Include the filename in summary. | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | - --debug KEY=[0|1] | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | Turn on/off debugging of KEY, where KEY is one of 'values', 'possible', | ||
| 167 | 'type', and 'attr' (default is all off). | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | - --fix | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature. If correctable errors exists, a file | ||
| 172 | <inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes is created which has the | ||
| 173 | automatically fixable errors corrected. | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | - --fix-inplace | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | EXPERIMENTAL - Similar to --fix but input file is overwritten with fixes. | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | DO NOT USE this flag unless you are absolutely sure and you have a backup | ||
| 180 | in place. | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | - --ignore-perl-version | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | Override checking of perl version. Runtime errors maybe encountered after | ||
| 185 | enabling this flag if the perl version does not meet the minimum specified. | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | - --codespell | ||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | Use the codespell dictionary for checking spelling errors. | ||
| 190 | |||
| 191 | - --codespellfile | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | Use the specified codespell file. | ||
| 194 | Default is '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt'. | ||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | - --typedefsfile | ||
| 197 | |||
| 198 | Read additional types from this file. | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | - --color[=WHEN] | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | Use colors 'always', 'never', or only when output is a terminal ('auto'). | ||
| 203 | Default is 'auto'. | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | - --kconfig-prefix=WORD | ||
| 206 | |||
| 207 | Use WORD as a prefix for Kconfig symbols (default is `CONFIG_`). | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | - -h, --help, --version | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | Display the help text. | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | Message Levels | ||
| 214 | ============== | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | Messages in checkpatch are divided into three levels. The levels of messages | ||
| 217 | in checkpatch denote the severity of the error. They are: | ||
| 218 | |||
| 219 | - ERROR | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | This is the most strict level. Messages of type ERROR must be taken | ||
| 222 | seriously as they denote things that are very likely to be wrong. | ||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | - WARNING | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | This is the next stricter level. Messages of type WARNING requires a | ||
| 227 | more careful review. But it is milder than an ERROR. | ||
| 228 | |||
| 229 | - CHECK | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | This is the mildest level. These are things which may require some thought. | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | Type Descriptions | ||
| 234 | ================= | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | This section contains a description of all the message types in checkpatch. | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | .. Types in this section are also parsed by checkpatch. | ||
| 239 | .. The types are grouped into subsections based on use. | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | Allocation style | ||
| 243 | ---------------- | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | **ALLOC_ARRAY_ARGS** | ||
| 246 | The first argument for kcalloc or kmalloc_array should be the | ||
| 247 | number of elements. sizeof() as the first argument is generally | ||
| 248 | wrong. | ||
| 249 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/memory-allocation.html | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | **ALLOC_SIZEOF_STRUCT** | ||
| 252 | The allocation style is bad. In general for family of | ||
| 253 | allocation functions using sizeof() to get memory size, | ||
| 254 | constructs like:: | ||
| 255 | |||
| 256 | p = alloc(sizeof(struct foo), ...) | ||
| 257 | |||
| 258 | should be:: | ||
| 259 | |||
| 260 | p = alloc(sizeof(*p), ...) | ||
| 261 | |||
| 262 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#allocating-memory | ||
| 263 | |||
| 264 | **ALLOC_WITH_MULTIPLY** | ||
| 265 | Prefer kmalloc_array/kcalloc over kmalloc/kzalloc with a | ||
| 266 | sizeof multiply. | ||
| 267 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/memory-allocation.html | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | |||
| 270 | API usage | ||
| 271 | --------- | ||
| 272 | |||
| 273 | **ARCH_DEFINES** | ||
| 274 | Architecture specific defines should be avoided wherever | ||
| 275 | possible. | ||
| 276 | |||
| 277 | **ARCH_INCLUDE_LINUX** | ||
| 278 | Whenever asm/file.h is included and linux/file.h exists, a | ||
| 279 | conversion can be made when linux/file.h includes asm/file.h. | ||
| 280 | However this is not always the case (See signal.h). | ||
| 281 | This message type is emitted only for includes from arch/. | ||
| 282 | |||
| 283 | **AVOID_BUG** | ||
| 284 | BUG() or BUG_ON() should be avoided totally. | ||
| 285 | Use WARN() and WARN_ON() instead, and handle the "impossible" | ||
| 286 | error condition as gracefully as possible. | ||
| 287 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#bug-and-bug-on | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | **CONSIDER_KSTRTO** | ||
| 290 | The simple_strtol(), simple_strtoll(), simple_strtoul(), and | ||
| 291 | simple_strtoull() functions explicitly ignore overflows, which | ||
| 292 | may lead to unexpected results in callers. The respective kstrtol(), | ||
| 293 | kstrtoll(), kstrtoul(), and kstrtoull() functions tend to be the | ||
| 294 | correct replacements. | ||
| 295 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#simple-strtol-simple-strtoll-simple-strtoul-simple-strtoull | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | **LOCKDEP** | ||
| 298 | The lockdep_no_validate class was added as a temporary measure to | ||
| 299 | prevent warnings on conversion of device->sem to device->mutex. | ||
| 300 | It should not be used for any other purpose. | ||
| 301 | See: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1268959062.9440.467.camel@laptop/ | ||
| 302 | |||
| 303 | **MALFORMED_INCLUDE** | ||
| 304 | The #include statement has a malformed path. This has happened | ||
| 305 | because the author has included a double slash "//" in the pathname | ||
| 306 | accidentally. | ||
| 307 | |||
| 308 | **USE_LOCKDEP** | ||
| 309 | lockdep_assert_held() annotations should be preferred over | ||
| 310 | assertions based on spin_is_locked() | ||
| 311 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/locking/lockdep-design.html#annotations | ||
| 312 | |||
| 313 | **UAPI_INCLUDE** | ||
| 314 | No #include statements in include/uapi should use a uapi/ path. | ||
| 315 | |||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | Comment style | ||
| 318 | ------------- | ||
| 319 | |||
| 320 | **BLOCK_COMMENT_STYLE** | ||
| 321 | The comment style is incorrect. The preferred style for multi- | ||
| 322 | line comments is:: | ||
| 323 | |||
| 324 | /* | ||
| 325 | * This is the preferred style | ||
| 326 | * for multi line comments. | ||
| 327 | */ | ||
| 328 | |||
| 329 | The networking comment style is a bit different, with the first line | ||
| 330 | not empty like the former:: | ||
| 331 | |||
| 332 | /* This is the preferred comment style | ||
| 333 | * for files in net/ and drivers/net/ | ||
| 334 | */ | ||
| 335 | |||
| 336 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#commenting | ||
| 337 | |||
| 338 | **C99_COMMENTS** | ||
| 339 | C99 style single line comments (//) should not be used. | ||
| 340 | Prefer the block comment style instead. | ||
| 341 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#commenting | ||
| 342 | |||
| 343 | |||
| 344 | Commit message | ||
| 345 | -------------- | ||
| 346 | |||
| 347 | **BAD_SIGN_OFF** | ||
| 348 | The signed-off-by line does not fall in line with the standards | ||
| 349 | specified by the community. | ||
| 350 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#developer-s-certificate-of-origin-1-1 | ||
| 351 | |||
| 352 | **BAD_STABLE_ADDRESS_STYLE** | ||
| 353 | The email format for stable is incorrect. | ||
| 354 | Some valid options for stable address are:: | ||
| 355 | |||
| 356 | 1. stable@vger.kernel.org | ||
| 357 | 2. stable@kernel.org | ||
| 358 | |||
| 359 | For adding version info, the following comment style should be used:: | ||
| 360 | |||
| 361 | stable@vger.kernel.org # version info | ||
| 362 | |||
| 363 | **COMMIT_COMMENT_SYMBOL** | ||
| 364 | Commit log lines starting with a '#' are ignored by git as | ||
| 365 | comments. To solve this problem addition of a single space | ||
| 366 | infront of the log line is enough. | ||
| 367 | |||
| 368 | **COMMIT_MESSAGE** | ||
| 369 | The patch is missing a commit description. A brief | ||
| 370 | description of the changes made by the patch should be added. | ||
| 371 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes | ||
| 372 | |||
| 373 | **MISSING_SIGN_OFF** | ||
| 374 | The patch is missing a Signed-off-by line. A signed-off-by | ||
| 375 | line should be added according to Developer's certificate of | ||
| 376 | Origin. | ||
| 377 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin | ||
| 378 | |||
| 379 | **NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF** | ||
| 380 | The author of the patch has not signed off the patch. It is | ||
| 381 | required that a simple sign off line should be present at the | ||
| 382 | end of explanation of the patch to denote that the author has | ||
| 383 | written it or otherwise has the rights to pass it on as an open | ||
| 384 | source patch. | ||
| 385 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin | ||
| 386 | |||
| 387 | **DIFF_IN_COMMIT_MSG** | ||
| 388 | Avoid having diff content in commit message. | ||
| 389 | This causes problems when one tries to apply a file containing both | ||
| 390 | the changelog and the diff because patch(1) tries to apply the diff | ||
| 391 | which it found in the changelog. | ||
| 392 | See: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150611134006.9df79a893e3636019ad2759e@linux-foundation.org/ | ||
| 393 | |||
| 394 | **GERRIT_CHANGE_ID** | ||
| 395 | To be picked up by gerrit, the footer of the commit message might | ||
| 396 | have a Change-Id like:: | ||
| 397 | |||
| 398 | Change-Id: Ic8aaa0728a43936cd4c6e1ed590e01ba8f0fbf5b | ||
| 399 | Signed-off-by: A. U. Thor <author@example.com> | ||
| 400 | |||
| 401 | The Change-Id line must be removed before submitting. | ||
| 402 | |||
| 403 | **GIT_COMMIT_ID** | ||
| 404 | The proper way to reference a commit id is: | ||
| 405 | commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>") | ||
| 406 | |||
| 407 | An example may be:: | ||
| 408 | |||
| 409 | Commit e21d2170f36602ae2708 ("video: remove unnecessary | ||
| 410 | platform_set_drvdata()") removed the unnecessary | ||
| 411 | platform_set_drvdata(), but left the variable "dev" unused, | ||
| 412 | delete it. | ||
| 413 | |||
| 414 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes | ||
| 415 | |||
| 416 | |||
| 417 | Comparison style | ||
| 418 | ---------------- | ||
| 419 | |||
| 420 | **ASSIGN_IN_IF** | ||
| 421 | Do not use assignments in if condition. | ||
| 422 | Example:: | ||
| 423 | |||
| 424 | if ((foo = bar(...)) < BAZ) { | ||
| 425 | |||
| 426 | should be written as:: | ||
| 427 | |||
| 428 | foo = bar(...); | ||
| 429 | if (foo < BAZ) { | ||
| 430 | |||
| 431 | **BOOL_COMPARISON** | ||
| 432 | Comparisons of A to true and false are better written | ||
| 433 | as A and !A. | ||
| 434 | See: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1365563834.27174.12.camel@joe-AO722/ | ||
| 435 | |||
| 436 | **COMPARISON_TO_NULL** | ||
| 437 | Comparisons to NULL in the form (foo == NULL) or (foo != NULL) | ||
| 438 | are better written as (!foo) and (foo). | ||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | **CONSTANT_COMPARISON** | ||
| 441 | Comparisons with a constant or upper case identifier on the left | ||
| 442 | side of the test should be avoided. | ||
| 443 | |||
| 444 | |||
| 445 | Macros, Attributes and Symbols | ||
| 446 | ------------------------------ | ||
| 447 | |||
| 448 | **ARRAY_SIZE** | ||
| 449 | The ARRAY_SIZE(foo) macro should be preferred over | ||
| 450 | sizeof(foo)/sizeof(foo[0]) for finding number of elements in an | ||
| 451 | array. | ||
| 452 | |||
| 453 | The macro is defined in include/linux/kernel.h:: | ||
| 454 | |||
| 455 | #define ARRAY_SIZE(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof((x)[0])) | ||
| 456 | |||
| 457 | **AVOID_EXTERNS** | ||
| 458 | Function prototypes don't need to be declared extern in .h | ||
| 459 | files. It's assumed by the compiler and is unnecessary. | ||
| 460 | |||
| 461 | **AVOID_L_PREFIX** | ||
| 462 | Local symbol names that are prefixed with `.L` should be avoided, | ||
| 463 | as this has special meaning for the assembler; a symbol entry will | ||
| 464 | not be emitted into the symbol table. This can prevent `objtool` | ||
| 465 | from generating correct unwind info. | ||
| 466 | |||
| 467 | Symbols with STB_LOCAL binding may still be used, and `.L` prefixed | ||
| 468 | local symbol names are still generally usable within a function, | ||
| 469 | but `.L` prefixed local symbol names should not be used to denote | ||
| 470 | the beginning or end of code regions via | ||
| 471 | `SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL`/`SYM_CODE_END` | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | **BIT_MACRO** | ||
| 474 | Defines like: 1 << <digit> could be BIT(digit). | ||
| 475 | The BIT() macro is defined in include/linux/bitops.h:: | ||
| 476 | |||
| 477 | #define BIT(nr) (1UL << (nr)) | ||
| 478 | |||
| 479 | **CONST_READ_MOSTLY** | ||
| 480 | When a variable is tagged with the __read_mostly annotation, it is a | ||
| 481 | signal to the compiler that accesses to the variable will be mostly | ||
| 482 | reads and rarely(but NOT never) a write. | ||
| 483 | |||
| 484 | const __read_mostly does not make any sense as const data is already | ||
| 485 | read-only. The __read_mostly annotation thus should be removed. | ||
| 486 | |||
| 487 | **DATE_TIME** | ||
| 488 | It is generally desirable that building the same source code with | ||
| 489 | the same set of tools is reproducible, i.e. the output is always | ||
| 490 | exactly the same. | ||
| 491 | |||
| 492 | The kernel does *not* use the ``__DATE__`` and ``__TIME__`` macros, | ||
| 493 | and enables warnings if they are used as they can lead to | ||
| 494 | non-deterministic builds. | ||
| 495 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/reproducible-builds.html#timestamps | ||
| 496 | |||
| 497 | **DEFINE_ARCH_HAS** | ||
| 498 | The ARCH_HAS_xyz and ARCH_HAVE_xyz patterns are wrong. | ||
| 499 | |||
| 500 | For big conceptual features use Kconfig symbols instead. And for | ||
| 501 | smaller things where we have compatibility fallback functions but | ||
| 502 | want architectures able to override them with optimized ones, we | ||
| 503 | should either use weak functions (appropriate for some cases), or | ||
| 504 | the symbol that protects them should be the same symbol we use. | ||
| 505 | See: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFycQ9XJvEOsiM3txHL5bjUc8CeKWJNR_H+MiicaddB42Q@mail.gmail.com/ | ||
| 506 | |||
| 507 | **INIT_ATTRIBUTE** | ||
| 508 | Const init definitions should use __initconst instead of | ||
| 509 | __initdata. | ||
| 510 | |||
| 511 | Similarly init definitions without const require a separate | ||
| 512 | use of const. | ||
| 513 | |||
| 514 | **INLINE_LOCATION** | ||
| 515 | The inline keyword should sit between storage class and type. | ||
| 516 | |||
| 517 | For example, the following segment:: | ||
| 518 | |||
| 519 | inline static int example_function(void) | ||
| 520 | { | ||
| 521 | ... | ||
| 522 | } | ||
| 523 | |||
| 524 | should be:: | ||
| 525 | |||
| 526 | static inline int example_function(void) | ||
| 527 | { | ||
| 528 | ... | ||
| 529 | } | ||
| 530 | |||
| 531 | **MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE** | ||
| 532 | Macros with multiple statements should be enclosed in a | ||
| 533 | do - while block. Same should also be the case for macros | ||
| 534 | starting with `if` to avoid logic defects:: | ||
| 535 | |||
| 536 | #define macrofun(a, b, c) \ | ||
| 537 | do { \ | ||
| 538 | if (a == 5) \ | ||
| 539 | do_this(b, c); \ | ||
| 540 | } while (0) | ||
| 541 | |||
| 542 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#macros-enums-and-rtl | ||
| 543 | |||
| 544 | **WEAK_DECLARATION** | ||
| 545 | Using weak declarations like __attribute__((weak)) or __weak | ||
| 546 | can have unintended link defects. Avoid using them. | ||
| 547 | |||
| 548 | |||
| 549 | Functions and Variables | ||
| 550 | ----------------------- | ||
| 551 | |||
| 552 | **CAMELCASE** | ||
| 553 | Avoid CamelCase Identifiers. | ||
| 554 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#naming | ||
| 555 | |||
| 556 | **FUNCTION_WITHOUT_ARGS** | ||
| 557 | Function declarations without arguments like:: | ||
| 558 | |||
| 559 | int foo() | ||
| 560 | |||
| 561 | should be:: | ||
| 562 | |||
| 563 | int foo(void) | ||
| 564 | |||
| 565 | **GLOBAL_INITIALISERS** | ||
| 566 | Global variables should not be initialized explicitly to | ||
| 567 | 0 (or NULL, false, etc.). Your compiler (or rather your | ||
| 568 | loader, which is responsible for zeroing out the relevant | ||
| 569 | sections) automatically does it for you. | ||
| 570 | |||
| 571 | **INITIALISED_STATIC** | ||
| 572 | Static variables should not be initialized explicitly to zero. | ||
| 573 | Your compiler (or rather your loader) automatically does | ||
| 574 | it for you. | ||
| 575 | |||
| 576 | **RETURN_PARENTHESES** | ||
| 577 | return is not a function and as such doesn't need parentheses:: | ||
| 578 | |||
| 579 | return (bar); | ||
| 580 | |||
| 581 | can simply be:: | ||
| 582 | |||
| 583 | return bar; | ||
| 584 | |||
| 585 | |||
| 586 | Spacing and Brackets | ||
| 587 | -------------------- | ||
| 588 | |||
| 589 | **ASSIGNMENT_CONTINUATIONS** | ||
| 590 | Assignment operators should not be written at the start of a | ||
| 591 | line but should follow the operand at the previous line. | ||
| 592 | |||
| 593 | **BRACES** | ||
| 594 | The placement of braces is stylistically incorrect. | ||
| 595 | The preferred way is to put the opening brace last on the line, | ||
| 596 | and put the closing brace first:: | ||
| 597 | |||
| 598 | if (x is true) { | ||
| 599 | we do y | ||
| 600 | } | ||
| 601 | |||
| 602 | This applies for all non-functional blocks. | ||
| 603 | However, there is one special case, namely functions: they have the | ||
| 604 | opening brace at the beginning of the next line, thus:: | ||
| 605 | |||
| 606 | int function(int x) | ||
| 607 | { | ||
| 608 | body of function | ||
| 609 | } | ||
| 610 | |||
| 611 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#placing-braces-and-spaces | ||
| 612 | |||
| 613 | **BRACKET_SPACE** | ||
| 614 | Whitespace before opening bracket '[' is prohibited. | ||
| 615 | There are some exceptions: | ||
| 616 | |||
| 617 | 1. With a type on the left:: | ||
| 618 | |||
| 619 | ;int [] a; | ||
| 620 | |||
| 621 | 2. At the beginning of a line for slice initialisers:: | ||
| 622 | |||
| 623 | [0...10] = 5, | ||
| 624 | |||
| 625 | 3. Inside a curly brace:: | ||
| 626 | |||
| 627 | = { [0...10] = 5 } | ||
| 628 | |||
| 629 | **CODE_INDENT** | ||
| 630 | Code indent should use tabs instead of spaces. | ||
| 631 | Outside of comments, documentation and Kconfig, | ||
| 632 | spaces are never used for indentation. | ||
| 633 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#indentation | ||
| 634 | |||
| 635 | **CONCATENATED_STRING** | ||
| 636 | Concatenated elements should have a space in between. | ||
| 637 | Example:: | ||
| 638 | |||
| 639 | printk(KERN_INFO"bar"); | ||
| 640 | |||
| 641 | should be:: | ||
| 642 | |||
| 643 | printk(KERN_INFO "bar"); | ||
| 644 | |||
| 645 | **ELSE_AFTER_BRACE** | ||
| 646 | `else {` should follow the closing block `}` on the same line. | ||
| 647 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#placing-braces-and-spaces | ||
| 648 | |||
| 649 | **LINE_SPACING** | ||
| 650 | Vertical space is wasted given the limited number of lines an | ||
| 651 | editor window can display when multiple blank lines are used. | ||
| 652 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#spaces | ||
| 653 | |||
| 654 | **OPEN_BRACE** | ||
| 655 | The opening brace should be following the function definitions on the | ||
| 656 | next line. For any non-functional block it should be on the same line | ||
| 657 | as the last construct. | ||
| 658 | See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#placing-braces-and-spaces | ||
| 659 | |||
| 660 | **POINTER_LOCATION** | ||
| 661 | When using pointer data or a function that returns a pointer type, | ||
| 662 | the preferred use of * is adjacent to the data name or function name | ||
| 663 | and not adjacent to the type name. | ||
| 664 | Examples:: | ||

| 4 | Kernel Testing Guide | ||
| 5 | ==================== | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | There are a number of different tools for testing the Linux kernel, so knowing | ||
| 9 | when to use each of them can be a challenge. This document provides a rough | ||
| 10 | overview of their differences, and how they fit together. | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Writing and Running Tests | ||
| 14 | ========================= | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The bulk of kernel tests are written using either the kselftest or KUnit | ||
| 17 | frameworks. These both provide infrastructure to help make running tests and | ||
| 18 | groups of tests easier, as well as providing helpers to aid in writing new | ||
| 19 | tests. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | If you're looking to verify the behaviour of the Kernel — particularly specific | ||
| 22 | parts of the kernel — then you'll want to use KUnit or kselftest. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | The Difference Between KUnit and kselftest | ||
| 26 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | KUnit (Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst) is an entirely in-kernel system | ||
| 29 | for "white box" testing: because test code is part of the kernel, it can access | ||
| 30 | internal structures and functions which aren't exposed to userspace. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | KUnit tests therefore are best written against small, self-contained parts | ||
| 33 | of the kernel, which can be tested in isolation. This aligns well with the | ||
| 34 | concept of 'unit' testing. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | For example, a KUnit test might test an individual kernel function (or even a | ||
| 37 | single codepath through a function, such as an error handling case), rather | ||
| 38 | than a feature as a whole. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | This also makes KUnit tests very fast to build and run, allowing them to be | ||
| 41 | run frequently as part of the development process. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | There is a KUnit test style guide which may give further pointers in | ||
| 44 | Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/style.rst | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | kselftest (Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst), on the other hand, is | ||
| 48 | largely implemented in userspace, and tests are normal userspace scripts or | ||
| 49 | programs. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | This makes it easier to write more complicated tests, or tests which need to | ||
| 52 | manipulate the overall system state more (e.g., spawning processes, etc.). | ||
| 53 | However, it's not possible to call kernel functions directly from kselftest. | ||
| 54 | This means that only kernel functionality which is exposed to userspace somehow | ||
| 55 | (e.g. by a syscall, device, filesystem, etc.) can be tested with kselftest. To | ||
| 56 | work around this, some tests include a companion kernel module which exposes | ||
| 57 | more information or functionality. If a test runs mostly or entirely within the | ||
| 58 | kernel, however, KUnit may be the more appropriate tool. | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | kselftest is therefore suited well to tests of whole features, as these will | ||
| 61 | expose an interface to userspace, which can be tested, but not implementation | ||
| 62 | details. This aligns well with 'system' or 'end-to-end' testing. | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | For example, all new system calls should be accompanied by kselftest tests. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | Code Coverage Tools | ||
| 67 | =================== | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | The Linux Kernel supports two different code coverage measurement tools. These | ||
| 70 | can be used to verify that a test is executing particular functions or lines | ||
| 71 | of code. This is useful for determining how much of the kernel is being tested, | ||
| 72 | and for finding corner-cases which are not covered by the appropriate test. | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | :doc:`gcov` is GCC's coverage testing tool, which can be used with the kernel | ||
| 75 | to get global or per-module coverage. Unlike KCOV, it does not record per-task | ||
| 76 | coverage. Coverage data can be read from debugfs, and interpreted using the | ||
| 77 | usual gcov tooling. | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | :doc:`kcov` is a feature which can be built in to the kernel to allow | ||
| 80 | capturing coverage on a per-task level. It's therefore useful for fuzzing and | ||
| 81 | other situations where information about code executed during, for example, a | ||
| 82 | single syscall is useful. | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | Dynamic Analysis Tools | ||
| 86 | ====================== | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | The kernel also supports a number of dynamic analysis tools, which attempt to | ||
| 89 | detect classes of issues when they occur in a running kernel. These typically | ||
| 90 | each look for a different class of bugs, such as invalid memory accesses, | ||
| 91 | concurrency issues such as data races, or other undefined behaviour like | ||
| 92 | integer overflows. | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | Some of these tools are listed below: | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | * kmemleak detects possible memory leaks. See | ||
| 97 | Documentation/dev-tools/kmemleak.rst | ||
| 98 | * KASAN detects invalid memory accesses such as out-of-bounds and | ||
| 99 | use-after-free errors. See Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst | ||
| 100 | * UBSAN detects behaviour that is undefined by the C standard, like integer | ||
| 101 | overflows. See Documentation/dev-tools/ubsan.rst | ||
| 102 | * KCSAN detects data races. See Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst | ||
| 103 | * KFENCE is a low-overhead detector of memory issues, which is much faster than | ||
| 104 | KASAN and can be used in production. See Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst | ||
| 105 | * lockdep is a locking correctness validator. See | ||
| 106 | Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst | ||
| 107 | * There are several other pieces of debug instrumentation in the kernel, many | ||
| 108 | of which can be found in lib/Kconfig.debug | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | These tools tend to test the kernel as a whole, and do not "pass" like | ||
| 111 | kselftest or KUnit tests. They can be combined with KUnit or kselftest by | ||
| 112 | running tests on a kernel with these tools enabled: you can then be sure | ||
| 113 | that none of these errors are occurring during the test. | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | Some of these tools integrate with KUnit or kselftest and will | ||
| 116 | automatically fail tests if an issue is detected. | ||

| 4 | |||
| 5 | Introduction | ||
| 6 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 7 | A device class describes a type of device, like an audio or network | ||
| 8 | device. The following device classes have been identified: | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | <Insert List of Device Classes Here> | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Each device class defines a set of semantics and a programming interface | ||
| 14 | that devices of that class adhere to. Device drivers are the | ||
| 15 | implementation of that programming interface for a particular device on | ||
| 16 | a particular bus. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Device classes are agnostic with respect to what bus a device resides | ||
| 19 | on. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | Programming Interface | ||
| 23 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 24 | The device class structure looks like:: | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | typedef int (*devclass_add)(struct device *); | ||
| 28 | typedef void (*devclass_remove)(struct device *); | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | See the kerneldoc for the struct class. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | A typical device class definition would look like:: | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | struct device_class input_devclass = { | ||
| 35 | .name = "input", | ||
| 36 | .add_device = input_add_device, | ||
| 37 | .remove_device = input_remove_device, | ||
| 38 | }; | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | Each device class structure should be exported in a header file so it | ||
| 41 | can be used by drivers, extensions and interfaces. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Device classes are registered and unregistered with the core using:: | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | int devclass_register(struct device_class * cls); | ||
| 46 | void devclass_unregister(struct device_class * cls); | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Devices | ||
| 50 | ~~~~~~~ | ||
| 51 | As devices are bound to drivers, they are added to the device class | ||
| 52 | that the driver belongs to. Before the driver model core, this would | ||
| 53 | typically happen during the driver's probe() callback, once the device | ||
| 54 | has been initialized. It now happens after the probe() callback | ||
| 55 | finishes from the core. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | The device is enumerated in the class. Each time a device is added to | ||
| 58 | the class, the class's devnum field is incremented and assigned to the | ||
| 59 | device. The field is never decremented, so if the device is removed | ||
| 60 | from the class and re-added, it will receive a different enumerated | ||
| 61 | value. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | The class is allowed to create a class-specific structure for the | ||
| 64 | device and store it in the device's class_data pointer. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | There is no list of devices in the device class. Each driver has a | ||
| 67 | list of devices that it supports. The device class has a list of | ||
| 68 | drivers of that particular class. To access all of the devices in the | ||
| 69 | class, iterate over the device lists of each driver in the class. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | Device Drivers | ||
| 73 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 74 | Device drivers are added to device classes when they are registered | ||
| 75 | with the core. A driver specifies the class it belongs to by setting | ||
| 76 | the struct device_driver::devclass field. | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | sysfs directory structure | ||
| 80 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 81 | There is a top-level sysfs directory named 'class'. | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | Each class gets a directory in the class directory, along with two | ||
| 84 | default subdirectories:: | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | class/ | ||
| 87 | `-- input | ||
| 88 | |-- devices | ||
| 89 | `-- drivers | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | Drivers registered with the class get a symlink in the drivers/ directory | ||
| 93 | that points to the driver's directory (under its bus directory):: | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | class/ | ||
| 96 | `-- input | ||
| 97 | |-- devices | ||
| 98 | `-- drivers | ||
| 99 | `-- usb:usb_mouse -> ../../../bus/drivers/usb_mouse/ | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | Each device gets a symlink in the devices/ directory that points to the | ||
| 103 | device's directory in the physical hierarchy:: | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | class/ | ||
| 106 | `-- input | ||
| 107 | |-- devices | ||
| 108 | | `-- 1 -> ../../../root/pci0/00:1f.0/usb_bus/00:1f.2-1:0/ | ||
| 109 | `-- drivers | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | Exporting Attributes | ||
| 113 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | :: | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | struct devclass_attribute { | ||
| 118 | struct attribute attr; | ||
| 119 | ssize_t (*show)(struct device_class *, char * buf, size_t count, loff_t off); | ||
| 120 | ssize_t (*store)(struct device_class *, const char * buf, size_t count, loff_t off); | ||
| 121 | }; | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | Class drivers can export attributes using the DEVCLASS_ATTR macro that works | ||
| 124 | similarly to the DEVICE_ATTR macro for devices. For example, a definition | ||
| 125 | like this:: | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | static DEVCLASS_ATTR(debug,0644,show_debug,store_debug); | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | is equivalent to declaring:: | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | static devclass_attribute devclass_attr_debug; | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | The bus driver can add and remove the attribute from the class's | ||
| 134 | sysfs directory using:: | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | int devclass_create_file(struct device_class *, struct devclass_attribute *); | ||
| 137 | void devclass_remove_file(struct device_class *, struct devclass_attribute *); | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | In the example above, the file will be named 'debug' in placed in the | ||
| 140 | class's directory in sysfs. | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | Interfaces | ||
| 144 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 145 | There may exist multiple mechanisms for accessing the same device of a | ||
| 146 | particular class type. Device interfaces describe these mechanisms. | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | When a device is added to a device class, the core attempts to add it | ||

| 735 | Aggiungere i *backtrace* nei messaggi di commit | ||
| 736 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||
| 737 | |||
| 738 | I *backtrace* aiutano a documentare la sequenza di chiamate a funzione | ||
| 739 | che portano ad un problema. Tuttavia, non tutti i *backtrace* sono | ||
| 740 | davvero utili. Per esempio, le sequenze iniziali di avvio sono uniche | ||
| 741 | e ovvie. Copiare integralmente l'output di ``dmesg`` aggiunge tante | ||
| 742 | informazioni che distraggono dal vero problema (per esempio, i | ||
| 743 | marcatori temporali, la lista dei moduli, la lista dei registri, lo | ||
| 744 | stato dello stack). | ||
| 745 | |||
| 746 | Quindi, per rendere utile un *backtrace* dovreste eliminare le | ||
| 747 | informazioni inutili, cosicché ci si possa focalizzare sul | ||
| 748 | problema. Ecco un esempio di un *backtrace* essenziale:: | ||

| 9 | Linux内核5.x版本 <http://kernel.org/> | ||
| 10 | ========================================= | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 以下是Linux版本5的发行注记。仔细阅读它们, | ||
| 13 | 它们会告诉你这些都是什么,解释如何安装内核,以及遇到问题时该如何做。 | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | 什么是Linux? | ||
| 16 | --------------- | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Linux是Unix操作系统的克隆版本,由Linus Torvalds在一个松散的网络黑客 | ||
| 19 | (Hacker,无贬义)团队的帮助下从头开始编写。它旨在实现兼容POSIX和 | ||
| 20 | 单一UNIX规范。 | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 它具有在现代成熟的Unix中应当具有的所有功能,包括真正的多任务处理、虚拟内存、 | ||
| 23 | 共享库、按需加载、共享的写时拷贝(COW)可执行文件、恰当的内存管理以及包括 | ||
| 24 | IPv4和IPv6在内的复合网络栈。 | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Linux在GNU通用公共许可证,版本2(GNU GPLv2)下分发,详见随附的COPYING文件。 | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 它能在什么样的硬件上运行? | ||
| 29 | ----------------------------- | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 虽然Linux最初是为32位的x86 PC机(386或更高版本)开发的,但今天它也能运行在 | ||
| 32 | (至少)Compaq Alpha AXP、Sun SPARC与UltraSPARC、Motorola 68000、PowerPC、 | ||
| 33 | PowerPC64、ARM、Hitachi SuperH、Cell、IBM S/390、MIPS、HP PA-RISC、Intel | ||
| 34 | IA-64、DEC VAX、AMD x86-64 Xtensa和ARC架构上。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | Linux很容易移植到大多数通用的32位或64位体系架构,只要它们有一个分页内存管理 | ||
| 37 | 单元(PMMU)和一个移植的GNU C编译器(gcc;GNU Compiler Collection,GCC的一 | ||
| 38 | 部分)。Linux也被移植到许多没有PMMU的体系架构中,尽管功能显然受到了一定的 | ||
| 39 | 限制。 | ||
| 40 | Linux也被移植到了其自己上。现在可以将内核作为用户空间应用程序运行——这被 | ||
| 41 | 称为用户模式Linux(UML)。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 文档 | ||
| 44 | ----- | ||
| 45 | 因特网上和书籍上都有大量的电子文档,既有Linux专属文档,也有与一般UNIX问题相关 | ||
| 46 | 的文档。我建议在任何Linux FTP站点上查找LDP(Linux文档项目)书籍的文档子目录。 | ||
| 47 | 本自述文件并不是关于系统的文档:有更好的可用资源。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | - 因特网上和书籍上都有大量的(电子)文档,既有Linux专属文档,也有与普通 | ||
| 50 | UNIX问题相关的文档。我建议在任何有LDP(Linux文档项目)书籍的Linux FTP | ||
| 51 | 站点上查找文档子目录。本自述文件并不是关于系统的文档:有更好的可用资源。 | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | - 文档/子目录中有各种自述文件:例如,这些文件通常包含一些特定驱动程序的 | ||
| 54 | 内核安装说明。请阅读 | ||
| 55 | :ref:`Documentation/process/changes.rst <changes>` 文件,它包含了升级内核 | ||
| 56 | 可能会导致的问题的相关信息。 | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 安装内核源代码 | ||
| 59 | --------------- | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | - 如果您要安装完整的源代码,请把内核tar档案包放在您有权限的目录中(例如您 | ||
| 62 | 的主目录)并将其解包:: | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | xz -cd linux-5.x.tar.xz | tar xvf - | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 将“X”替换成最新内核的版本号。 | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 【不要】使用 /usr/src/linux 目录!这里有一组库头文件使用的内核头文件 | ||
| 69 | (通常是不完整的)。它们应该与库匹配,而不是被内核的变化搞得一团糟。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | - 您还可以通过打补丁在5.x版本之间升级。补丁以xz格式分发。要通过打补丁进行 | ||
| 72 | 安装,请获取所有较新的补丁文件,进入内核源代码(linux-5.x)的目录并 | ||
| 73 | 执行:: | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | xz -cd ../patch-5.x.xz | patch -p1 | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | 请【按顺序】替换所有大于当前源代码树版本的“x”,这样就可以了。您可能想要 | ||
| 78 | 删除备份文件(文件名类似xxx~ 或 xxx.orig),并确保没有失败的补丁(文件名 | ||
| 79 | 类似xxx# 或 xxx.rej)。如果有,不是你就是我犯了错误。 | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | 与5.x内核的补丁不同,5.x.y内核(也称为稳定版内核)的补丁不是增量的,而是 | ||
| 82 | 直接应用于基本的5.x内核。例如,如果您的基本内核是5.0,并且希望应用5.0.3 | ||
| 83 | 补丁,则不应先应用5.0.1和5.0.2的补丁。类似地,如果您运行的是5.0.2内核, | ||
| 84 | 并且希望跳转到5.0.3,那么在应用5.0.3补丁之前,必须首先撤销5.0.2补丁 | ||
| 85 | (即patch -R)。更多关于这方面的内容,请阅读 | ||
| 86 | :ref:`Documentation/process/applying-patches.rst <applying_patches>` 。 | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | 或者,脚本 patch-kernel 可以用来自动化这个过程。它能确定当前内核版本并 | ||
| 89 | 应用找到的所有补丁:: | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | linux/scripts/patch-kernel linux | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | 上面命令中的第一个参数是内核源代码的位置。补丁是在当前目录应用的,但是 | ||
| 94 | 可以将另一个目录指定为第二个参数。 | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | - 确保没有过时的 .o 文件和依赖项:: | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | cd linux | ||
| 99 | make mrproper | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | 现在您应该已经正确安装了源代码。 | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | 软件要求 | ||
| 104 | --------- | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 编译和运行5.x内核需要各种软件包的最新版本。请参考 | ||
| 107 | :ref:`Documentation/process/changes.rst <changes>` | ||
| 108 | 来了解最低版本要求以及如何升级软件包。请注意,使用过旧版本的这些包可能会 | ||
| 109 | 导致很难追踪的间接错误,因此不要以为在生成或操作过程中出现明显问题时可以 | ||
| 110 | 只更新包。 | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | 为内核建立目录 | ||
| 113 | --------------- | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | 编译内核时,默认情况下所有输出文件都将与内核源代码放在一起。使用 | ||
| 116 | ``make O=output/dir`` 选项可以为输出文件(包括 .config)指定备用位置。 | ||
| 117 | 例如:: | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-5.x | ||
| 120 | build directory: /home/name/build/kernel | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | 要配置和构建内核,请使用:: | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | cd /usr/src/linux-5.x | ||
| 125 | make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig | ||
| 126 | make O=/home/name/build/kernel | ||
| 127 | sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | 请注意:如果使用了 ``O=output/dir`` 选项,那么它必须用于make的所有调用。 | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | 配置内核 | ||
| 132 | --------- | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | 即使只升级一个小版本,也不要跳过此步骤。每个版本中都会添加新的配置选项, | ||
| 135 | 如果配置文件没有按预定设置,就会出现奇怪的问题。如果您想以最少的工作量 | ||
| 136 | 将现有配置升级到新版本,请使用 ``makeoldconfig`` ,它只会询问您新配置 | ||
| 137 | 选项的答案。 | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | - 其他配置命令包括:: | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | "make config" 纯文本界面。 | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | "make menuconfig" 基于文本的彩色菜单、选项列表和对话框。 | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | "make nconfig" 增强的基于文本的彩色菜单。 | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | "make xconfig" 基于Qt的配置工具。 | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | "make gconfig" 基于GTK+的配置工具。 | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | "make oldconfig" 基于现有的 ./.config 文件选择所有选项,并询问 | ||
| 152 | 新配置选项。 | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | "make olddefconfig" | ||
| 155 | 类似上一个,但不询问直接将新选项设置为默认值。 | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | "make defconfig" 根据体系架构,使用arch/$arch/defconfig或 | ||
| 158 | arch/$arch/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig中的 | ||
| 159 | 默认选项值创建./.config文件。 | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | "make ${PLATFORM}_defconfig" | ||
| 162 | 使用arch/$arch/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig中 | ||
| 163 | 的默认选项值创建一个./.config文件。 | ||
| 164 | 用“makehelp”来获取您体系架构中所有可用平台的列表。 | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | "make allyesconfig" | ||
| 167 | 通过尽可能将选项值设置为“y”,创建一个 | ||
| 168 | ./.config文件。 | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | "make allmodconfig" | ||
| 171 | 通过尽可能将选项值设置为“m”,创建一个 | ||
| 172 | ./.config文件。 | ||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | "make allnoconfig" 通过尽可能将选项值设置为“n”,创建一个 | ||
| 175 | ./.config文件。 | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | "make randconfig" 通过随机设置选项值来创建./.config文件。 | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | "make localmodconfig" 基于当前配置和加载的模块(lsmod)创建配置。禁用 | ||
| 180 | 已加载的模块不需要的任何模块选项。 | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | 要为另一台计算机创建localmodconfig,请将该计算机 | ||
| 183 | 的lsmod存储到一个文件中,并将其作为lsmod参数传入。 | ||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | 此外,通过在参数LMC_KEEP中指定模块的路径,可以将 | ||
| 186 | 模块保留在某些文件夹或kconfig文件中。 | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | target$ lsmod > /tmp/mylsmod | ||
| 189 | target$ scp /tmp/mylsmod host:/tmp | ||
| 190 | |||
| 191 | host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod \ | ||
| 192 | LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb:drivers/gpu:fs" \ | ||
| 193 | localmodconfig | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | 上述方法在交叉编译时也适用。 | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | "make localyesconfig" 与localmodconfig类似,只是它会将所有模块选项转换 | ||
| 198 | 为内置(=y)。你可以同时通过LMC_KEEP保留模块。 | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | "make kvmconfig" 为kvm客体内核支持启用其他选项。 | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | "make xenconfig" 为xen dom0客体内核支持启用其他选项。 | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | "make tinyconfig" 配置尽可能小的内核。 | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | 更多关于使用Linux内核配置工具的信息,见文档 | ||
| 207 | Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.rst。 | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | - ``make config`` 注意事项: | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | - 包含不必要的驱动程序会使内核变大,并且在某些情况下会导致问题: | ||
| 212 | 探测不存在的控制器卡可能会混淆其他控制器。 | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | - 如果存在协处理器,则编译了数学仿真的内核仍将使用协处理器:在 | ||
| 215 | 这种情况下,数学仿真永远不会被使用。内核会稍微大一点,但不管 | ||
| 216 | 是否有数学协处理器,都可以在不同的机器上工作。 | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | - “kernel hacking”配置细节通常会导致更大或更慢的内核(或两者 | ||
| 219 | 兼而有之),甚至可以通过配置一些例程来主动尝试破坏坏代码以发现 | ||
| 220 | 内核问题,从而降低内核的稳定性(kmalloc())。因此,您可能应该 | ||
| 221 | 用于研究“开发”、“实验”或“调试”特性相关问题。 | ||
| 222 | |||
| 223 | 编译内核 | ||
| 224 | --------- | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | - 确保您至少有gcc 4.9可用。 | ||
| 227 | 有关更多信息,请参阅 :ref:`Documentation/process/changes.rst <changes>` 。 | ||
| 228 | |||
| 229 | 请注意,您仍然可以使用此内核运行a.out用户程序。 | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | - 执行 ``make`` 来创建压缩内核映像。如果您安装了lilo以适配内核makefile, | ||
| 232 | 那么也可以进行 ``makeinstall`` ,但是您可能需要先检查特定的lilo设置。 | ||
| 233 | |||
| 234 | 实际安装必须以root身份执行,但任何正常构建都不需要。 | ||
| 235 | 无须徒然使用root身份。 | ||
| 236 | |||
| 237 | - 如果您将内核的任何部分配置为模块,那么还必须执行 ``make modules_install`` 。 | ||
| 238 | |||
| 239 | - 详细的内核编译/生成输出: | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | 通常,内核构建系统在相当安静的模式下运行(但不是完全安静)。但是有时您或 | ||
| 242 | 其他内核开发人员需要看到编译、链接或其他命令的执行过程。为此,可使用 | ||
| 243 | “verbose(详细)”构建模式。 | ||
| 244 | 向 ``make`` 命令传递 ``V=1`` 来实现,例如:: | ||
| 245 | |||
| 246 | make V=1 all | ||
| 247 | |||
| 248 | 如需构建系统也给出内个目标重建的愿意,请使用 ``V=2`` 。默认为 ``V=0`` 。 | ||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | - 准备一个备份内核以防出错。对于开发版本尤其如此,因为每个新版本都包含 | ||
| 251 | 尚未调试的新代码。也要确保保留与该内核对应的模块的备份。如果要安装 | ||
| 252 | 与工作内核版本号相同的新内核,请在进行 ``make modules_install`` 安装 | ||
| 253 | 之前备份modules目录。 | ||
| 254 | |||
| 255 | 或者,在编译之前,使用内核配置选项“LOCALVERSION”向常规内核版本附加 | ||
| 256 | 一个唯一的后缀。LOCALVERSION可以在“General Setup”菜单中设置。 | ||
| 257 | |||
| 258 | - 为了引导新内核,您需要将内核映像(例如编译后的 | ||
| 259 | .../linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage)复制到常规可引导内核的位置。 | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | - 不再支持在没有LILO等启动装载程序帮助的情况下直接从软盘引导内核。 | ||
| 262 | |||
| 263 | 如果从硬盘引导Linux,很可能使用LILO,它使用/etc/lilo.conf文件中 | ||
| 264 | 指定的内核映像文件。内核映像文件通常是/vmlinuz、/boot/vmlinuz、 | ||
| 265 | /bzImage或/boot/bzImage。使用新内核前,请保存旧映像的副本,并复制 | ||
| 266 | 新映像覆盖旧映像。然后您【必须重新运行LILO】来更新加载映射!否则, | ||
| 267 | 将无法启动新的内核映像。 | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | 重新安装LILO通常需要运行/sbin/LILO。您可能希望编辑/etc/lilo.conf | ||
| 270 | 文件为旧内核映像指定一个条目(例如/vmlinux.old)防止新的不能正常 | ||
| 271 | 工作。有关更多信息,请参阅LILO文档。 | ||
| 272 | |||
| 273 | 重新安装LILO之后,您应该就已经准备好了。关闭系统,重新启动,尽情 | ||
| 274 | 享受吧! | ||
| 275 | |||
| 276 | 如果需要更改内核映像中的默认根设备、视频模式等,请在适当的地方使用 | ||
| 277 | 启动装载程序的引导选项。无需重新编译内核即可更改这些参数。 | ||
| 278 | |||
| 279 | - 使用新内核重新启动并享受它吧。 | ||
| 280 | |||
| 281 | 若遇到问题 | ||
| 282 | ----------- | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | - 如果您发现了一些可能由于内核缺陷所导致的问题,请检查MAINTAINERS(维护者) | ||
| 285 | 文件看看是否有人与令您遇到麻烦的内核部分相关。如果无人在此列出,那么第二 | ||
| 286 | 个最好的方案就是把它们发给我(torvalds@linux-foundation.org),也可能发送 | ||
| 287 | 到任何其他相关的邮件列表或新闻组。 | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | - 在所有的缺陷报告中,【请】告诉我们您在说什么内核,如何复现问题,以及您的 | ||
| 290 | 设置是什么的(使用您的常识)。如果问题是新的,请告诉我;如果问题是旧的, | ||
| 291 | 请尝试告诉我您什么时候首次注意到它。 | ||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | - 如果缺陷导致如下消息:: | ||
| 294 | |||
| 295 | unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000010 | ||
| 296 | Oops: 0002 | ||
| 297 | EIP: 0010:XXXXXXXX | ||
| 298 | eax: xxxxxxxx ebx: xxxxxxxx ecx: xxxxxxxx edx: xxxxxxxx | ||
| 299 | esi: xxxxxxxx edi: xxxxxxxx ebp: xxxxxxxx | ||
| 300 | ds: xxxx es: xxxx fs: xxxx gs: xxxx | ||
| 301 | Pid: xx, process nr: xx | ||
| 302 | xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx | ||
| 303 | |||
| 304 | 或者类似的内核调试信息显示在屏幕上或在系统日志里,请【如实】复制它。 | ||
| 305 | 可能对你来说转储(dump)看起来不可理解,但它确实包含可能有助于调试问题的 | ||
| 306 | 信息。转储上方的文本也很重要:它说明了内核转储代码的原因(在上面的示例中, | ||
| 307 | 是由于内核指针错误)。更多关于如何理解转储的信息,请参见 | ||
| 308 | Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst。 | ||
| 309 | |||
| 310 | - 如果使用 CONFIG_KALLSYMS 编译内核,则可以按原样发送转储,否则必须使用 | ||
| 311 | ``ksymoops`` 程序来理解转储(但通常首选使用CONFIG_KALLSYMS编译)。 | ||
| 312 | 此实用程序可从 | ||
| 313 | https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops/ 下载。 | ||
| 314 | 或者,您可以手动执行转储查找: | ||
| 315 | |||
| 316 | - 在调试像上面这样的转储时,如果您可以查找EIP值的含义,这将非常有帮助。 | ||
| 317 | 十六进制值本身对我或其他任何人都没有太大帮助:它会取决于特定的内核设置。 | ||
| 318 | 您应该做的是从EIP行获取十六进制值(忽略 ``0010:`` ),然后在内核名字列表 | ||
| 319 | 中查找它,以查看哪个内核函数包含有问题的地址。 | ||
| 320 | |||
| 321 | 要找到内核函数名,您需要找到与显示症状的内核相关联的系统二进制文件。就是 | ||
| 322 | 文件“linux/vmlinux”。要提取名字列表并将其与内核崩溃中的EIP进行匹配, | ||
| 323 | 请执行:: | ||
| 324 | |||
| 325 | nm vmlinux | sort | less | ||
| 326 | |||
| 327 | 这将为您提供一个按升序排序的内核地址列表,从中很容易找到包含有问题的地址 | ||
| 328 | 的函数。请注意,内核调试消息提供的地址不一定与函数地址完全匹配(事实上, | ||
| 329 | 这是不可能的),因此您不能只“grep”列表:不过列表将为您提供每个内核函数 | ||
| 330 | 的起点,因此通过查找起始地址低于你正在搜索的地址,但后一个函数的高于的 | ||
| 331 | 函数,你会找到您想要的。实际上,在您的问题报告中加入一些“上下文”可能是 | ||
| 332 | 一个好主意,给出相关的上下几行。 | ||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | 如果您由于某些原因无法完成上述操作(如您使用预编译的内核映像或类似的映像), | ||
| 335 | 请尽可能多地告诉我您的相关设置信息,这会有所帮助。有关详细信息请阅读 | ||
| 336 | ‘Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst’。 | ||
| 337 | |||
| 338 | - 或者,您可以在正在运行的内核上使用gdb(只读的;即不能更改值或设置断点)。 | ||
| 339 | 为此,请首先使用-g编译内核;适当地编辑arch/x86/Makefile,然后执行 ``make | ||
| 340 | clean`` 。您还需要启用CONFIG_PROC_FS(通过 ``make config`` )。 | ||
| 341 | |||
| 342 | 使用新内核重新启动后,执行 ``gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore`` 。现在可以使用所有 | ||
| 343 | 普通的gdb命令。查找系统崩溃点的命令是 ``l *0xXXXXXXXX`` (将xxx替换为EIP | ||
| 344 | 值)。 | ||
| 345 | |||
| 346 | 用gdb无法调试一个当前未运行的内核是由于gdb(错误地)忽略了编译内核的起始 | ||
| 347 | 偏移量。 | ||

| 14 | 引言 | ||
| 15 | ===== | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 始终尝试由来自kernel.org的源代码构建的最新内核。如果您没有信心这样做,请将 | ||
| 18 | 错误报告给您的发行版供应商,而不是内核开发人员。 | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | 找到缺陷(bug)并不总是那么容易,不过仍然得去找。如果你找不到它,不要放弃。 | ||
| 21 | 尽可能多的向相关维护人员报告您发现的信息。请参阅MAINTAINERS文件以了解您所 | ||
| 22 | 关注的子系统的维护人员。 | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 在提交错误报告之前,请阅读“Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst”。 | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | 设备未出现(Devices not appearing) | ||
| 27 | ==================================== | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 这通常是由udev/systemd引起的。在将其归咎于内核之前先检查一下。 | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 查找导致缺陷的补丁 | ||
| 32 | =================== | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 使用 ``git`` 提供的工具可以很容易地找到缺陷,只要缺陷是可复现的。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 操作步骤: | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | - 从git源代码构建内核 | ||
| 39 | - 以此开始二分 [#f1]_:: | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | $ git bisect start | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | - 标记损坏的变更集:: | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | $ git bisect bad [commit] | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | - 标记正常工作的变更集:: | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | $ git bisect good [commit] | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | - 重新构建内核并测试 | ||
| 52 | - 使用以下任一与git bisect进行交互:: | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | $ git bisect good | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 或:: | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | $ git bisect bad | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 这取决于您测试的变更集上是否有缺陷 | ||
| 61 | - 在一些交互之后,git bisect将给出可能导致缺陷的变更集。 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | - 例如,如果您知道当前版本有问题,而4.8版本是正常的,则可以执行以下操作:: | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | $ git bisect start | ||
| 66 | $ git bisect bad # Current version is bad | ||
| 67 | $ git bisect good v4.8 | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | .. [#f1] 您可以(可选地)在开始git bisect的时候提供good或bad参数 | ||
| 71 | ``git bisect start [BAD] [GOOD]`` | ||

| 47 | |||
| 48 | 这样的堆栈跟踪提供了足够的信息来识别内核源代码中发生错误的那一行。根据问题的 | ||
| 49 | 严重性,它还可能包含 **“Oops”** 一词,比如:: | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) | ||
| 52 | IP: [<c06969d4>] iret_exc+0x7d0/0xa59 | ||
| 53 | *pdpt = 000000002258a001 *pde = 0000000000000000 | ||
| 54 | Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | ||
| 55 | ... | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 尽管有 **Oops** 或其他类型的堆栈跟踪,但通常需要找到出问题的行来识别和处理缺 | ||
| 58 | 陷。在本章中,我们将参考“Oops”来了解需要分析的各种堆栈跟踪。 | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 如果内核是用 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` 编译的,那么可以使用文件: | ||
| 61 | `scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh` 。 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | 链接的模块 | ||
| 64 | ----------- | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 受到污染或正在加载/卸载的模块用“(…)”标记,污染标志在 | ||
| 67 | `Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst` 文件中进行了描述,“正在被加 | ||
| 68 | 载”用“+”标注,“正在被卸载”用“-”标注。 | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | Oops消息在哪? | ||
| 72 | --------------- | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | 通常,Oops文本由klogd从内核缓冲区读取,然后交给 ``syslogd`` ,后者将其写入 | ||
| 75 | syslog文件,通常是 ``/var/log/messages`` (取决于 ``/etc/syslog.conf`` )。 | ||
| 76 | 在使用systemd的系统上,它也可以由 ``journald`` 守护进程存储,并通过运行 | ||
| 77 | ``journalctl`` 命令进行访问。 | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 有时 ``klogd`` 会挂掉,这种情况下您可以运行 ``dmesg > file`` 从内核缓冲区 | ||
| 80 | 读取数据并保存它。或者您可以 ``cat /proc/kmsg > file`` ,但是您必须适时 | ||
| 81 | 中断以停止传输,因为 ``kmsg`` 是一个“永无止境的文件”。 | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | 如果机器严重崩溃,无法输入命令或磁盘不可用,那还有三个选项: | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | (1) 手动复制屏幕上的文本,并在机器重新启动后输入。很难受,但这是突然崩溃下 | ||
| 86 | 唯一的选择。或者你可以用数码相机拍下屏幕——虽然不那么好,但总比什么都没 | ||
| 87 | 有好。如果消息滚动超出控制台顶部,使用更高分辨率(例如 ``vga=791`` ) | ||
| 88 | 引导启动将允许您阅读更多文本。(警告:这需要 ``vesafb`` ,因此对“早期” | ||
| 89 | 的Oppses没有帮助) | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | (2) 从串口终端启动(参见 | ||
| 92 | :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst <serial_console>` ), | ||
| 93 | 在另一台机器上运行调制解调器然后用你喜欢的通信程序捕获输出。 | ||
| 94 | Minicom运行良好。 | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | (3) 使用Kdump(参阅 Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst ),使用 | ||
| 97 | Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/gdbmacros.txt 中的dmesg gdbmacro从旧内存 | ||
| 98 | 中提取内核环形缓冲区。 | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 找到缺陷位置 | ||
| 101 | ------------- | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | 如果你能指出缺陷在内核源代码中的位置,则报告缺陷的效果会非常好。这有两种方法。 | ||
| 104 | 通常来说使用 ``gdb`` 会比较容易,不过内核需要用调试信息来预编译。 | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | gdb | ||
| 107 | ^^^^ | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | GNU 调试器(GNU debugger, ``gdb`` )是从 ``vmlinux`` 文件中找出OOPS的确切 | ||
| 110 | 文件和行号的最佳方法。 | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | 在使用 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` 编译的内核上使用gdb效果最好。可通过运行以下命令 | ||
| 113 | 进行设置:: | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | $ ./scripts/config -d COMPILE_TEST -e DEBUG_KERNEL -e DEBUG_INFO | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | 在用 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` 编译的内核上,你可以直接从OOPS复制EIP值:: | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | EIP: 0060:[<c021e50e>] Not tainted VLI | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | 并使用GDB来将其翻译成可读形式:: | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | $ gdb vmlinux | ||
| 124 | (gdb) l *0xc021e50e | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | 如果没有启用 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` ,则使用OOPS的函数偏移:: | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | EIP is at vt_ioctl+0xda8/0x1482 | ||
| 129 | |||
| 130 | 并在启用 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO`` 的情况下重新编译内核:: | ||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | $ ./scripts/config -d COMPILE_TEST -e DEBUG_KERNEL -e DEBUG_INFO | ||
| 133 | $ make vmlinux | ||
| 134 | $ gdb vmlinux | ||
| 135 | (gdb) l *vt_ioctl+0xda8 | ||
| 136 | 0x1888 is in vt_ioctl (drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:293). | ||
| 137 | 288 { | ||
| 138 | 289 struct vc_data *vc = NULL; | ||
| 139 | 290 int ret = 0; | ||
| 140 | 291 | ||
| 141 | 292 console_lock(); | ||
| 142 | 293 if (VT_BUSY(vc_num)) | ||
| 143 | 294 ret = -EBUSY; | ||
| 144 | 295 else if (vc_num) | ||
| 145 | 296 vc = vc_deallocate(vc_num); | ||
| 146 | 297 console_unlock(); | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | 或者若您想要更详细的显示:: | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | (gdb) p vt_ioctl | ||
| 151 | $1 = {int (struct tty_struct *, unsigned int, unsigned long)} 0xae0 <vt_ioctl> | ||
| 152 | (gdb) l *0xae0+0xda8 | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | 您也可以使用对象文件作为替代:: | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | $ make drivers/tty/ | ||
| 157 | $ gdb drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.o | ||
| 158 | (gdb) l *vt_ioctl+0xda8 | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | 如果你有调用跟踪,类似:: | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | Call Trace: | ||
| 163 | [<ffffffff8802c8e9>] :jbd:log_wait_commit+0xa3/0xf5 | ||
| 164 | [<ffffffff810482d9>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e | ||
| 165 | [<ffffffff8802770b>] :jbd:journal_stop+0x1be/0x1ee | ||
| 166 | ... | ||
| 167 | |||
| 168 | 这表明问题可能在 :jbd: 模块中。您可以在gdb中加载该模块并列出相关代码:: | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | $ gdb fs/jbd/jbd.ko | ||
| 171 | (gdb) l *log_wait_commit+0xa3 | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | .. note:: | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | 您还可以对堆栈跟踪处的任何函数调用执行相同的操作,例如:: | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | [<f80bc9ca>] ? dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_exit+0x3a/0x70 [dvb_usb] | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | 上述调用发生的位置可以通过以下方式看到:: | ||

| 184 | objdump | ||
| 185 | ^^^^^^^^ | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | 要调试内核,请使用objdump并从崩溃输出中查找十六进制偏移,以找到有效的代码/汇 | ||
| 188 | 编行。如果没有调试符号,您将看到所示例程的汇编程序代码,但是如果内核有调试 | ||
| 189 | 符号,C代码也将可见(调试符号可以在内核配置菜单的hacking项中启用)。例如:: | ||
| 190 | |||
| 191 | $ objdump -r -S -l --disassemble net/dccp/ipv4.o | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | .. note:: | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | 您需要处于内核树的顶层以便此获得您的C文件。 | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | 如果您无法访问源代码,仍然可以使用以下方法调试一些崩溃转储(如Dave Miller的 | ||
| 198 | 示例崩溃转储输出所示):: | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | EIP is at +0x14/0x4c0 | ||
| 201 | ... | ||
| 202 | Code: 44 24 04 e8 6f 05 00 00 e9 e8 fe ff ff 8d 76 00 8d bc 27 00 00 | ||
| 203 | 00 00 55 57 56 53 81 ec bc 00 00 00 8b ac 24 d0 00 00 00 8b 5d 08 | ||
| 204 | <8b> 83 3c 01 00 00 89 44 24 14 8b 45 28 85 c0 89 44 24 18 0f 85 | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | Put the bytes into a "foo.s" file like this: | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | .text | ||
| 209 | .globl foo | ||
| 210 | foo: | ||
| 211 | .byte .... /* bytes from Code: part of OOPS dump */ | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | Compile it with "gcc -c -o foo.o foo.s" then look at the output of | ||
| 214 | "objdump --disassemble foo.o". | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | Output: | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | ip_queue_xmit: | ||
| 219 | push %ebp | ||
| 220 | push %edi | ||
| 221 | push %esi | ||
| 222 | push %ebx | ||
| 223 | sub $0xbc, %esp | ||
| 224 | mov 0xd0(%esp), %ebp ! %ebp = arg0 (skb) | ||
| 225 | mov 0x8(%ebp), %ebx ! %ebx = skb->sk | ||
| 226 | mov 0x13c(%ebx), %eax ! %eax = inet_sk(sk)->opt | ||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | `scripts/decodecode` 文件可以用来自动完成大部分工作,这取决于正在调试的CPU | ||
| 229 | 体系结构。 | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | 报告缺陷 | ||
| 232 | --------- | ||
| 233 | |||
| 234 | 一旦你通过定位缺陷找到了其发生的地方,你可以尝试自己修复它或者向上游报告它。 | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | 为了向上游报告,您应该找出用于开发受影响代码的邮件列表。这可以使用 ``get_maintainer.pl`` 。 | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | |||
| 239 | 例如,您在gspca的sonixj.c文件中发现一个缺陷,则可以通过以下方法找到它的维护者:: | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/media/usb/gspca/sonixj.c | ||
| 242 | Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> (odd fixer:GSPCA USB WEBCAM DRIVER,commit_signer:1/1=100%) | ||
| 243 | Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org> (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB),commit_signer:1/1=100%) | ||
| 244 | Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> (commit_signer:1/1=100%) | ||
| 245 | Bhaktipriya Shridhar <bhaktipriya96@gmail.com> (commit_signer:1/1=100%,authored:1/1=100%,added_lines:4/4=100%,removed_lines:9/9=100%) | ||
| 246 | linux-media@vger.kernel.org (open list:GSPCA USB WEBCAM DRIVER) | ||
| 247 | linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) | ||
| 248 | |||
| 249 | 请注意它将指出: | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | - 最后接触源代码的开发人员(如果这是在git树中完成的)。在上面的例子中是Tejun | ||
| 252 | 和Bhaktipriya(在这个特定的案例中,没有人真正参与这个文件的开发); | ||
| 253 | - 驱动维护人员(Hans Verkuil); | ||
| 254 | - 子系统维护人员(Mauro Carvalho Chehab); | ||
| 255 | - 驱动程序和/或子系统邮件列表(linux-media@vger.kernel.org); | ||
| 256 | - Linux内核邮件列表(linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org)。 | ||
| 257 | |||
| 258 | 通常,修复缺陷的最快方法是将它报告给用于开发相关代码的邮件列表(linux-media | ||
| 259 | ML),抄送驱动程序维护者(Hans)。 | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | 如果你完全不知道该把报告寄给谁,且 ``get_maintainer.pl`` 也没有提供任何有用 | ||
| 262 | 的信息,请发送到linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org。 | ||
| 263 | |||
| 264 | 感谢您的帮助,这使Linux尽可能稳定:-) | ||
| 265 | |||
| 266 | 修复缺陷 | ||
| 267 | --------- | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | 如果你懂得编程,你不仅可以通过报告错误来帮助我们,还可以提供一个解决方案。 | ||
| 270 | 毕竟,开源就是分享你的工作,你不想因为你的天才而被认可吗? | ||
| 271 | |||
| 272 | 如果你决定这样做,请在制定解决方案后将其提交到上游。 | ||
| 273 | |||
| 274 | 请务必阅读 | ||
| 275 | :ref:`Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst <submittingpatches>` , | ||
| 276 | 以帮助您的代码被接受。 | ||

| 281 | 用 ``klogd`` 进行Oops跟踪的注意事项 | ||
| 282 | ------------------------------------ | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | 为了帮助Linus和其他内核开发人员, ``klogd`` 对保护故障的处理提供了大量支持。 | ||
| 285 | 为了完整支持地址解析,至少应该使用 ``sysklogd`` 包的1.3-pl3版本。 | ||
| 286 | |||
| 287 | 当发生保护故障时, ``klogd`` 守护进程会自动将内核日志消息中的重要地址转换为 | ||
| 288 | 它们的等效符号。然后通过 ``klogd`` 使用的任何报告机制来转发这个已翻译的内核 | ||
| 289 | 消息。保护错误消息可以直接从消息文件中剪切出来并转发给内核开发人员。 | ||
| 290 | |||
| 291 | ``klogd`` 执行两种类型的地址解析,静态翻译和动态翻译。静态翻译使用System.map | ||
| 292 | 文件。为了进行静态转换, ``klogd`` 守护进程必须能够在守护进程初始化时找到系 | ||
| 293 | 统映射文件。有关 ``klogd`` 如何搜索映射文件的信息,请参见klogd手册页。 | ||
| 294 | |||
| 295 | 当使用内核可加载模块时,动态地址转换非常重要。由于内核模块的内存是从内核的 | ||
| 296 | 动态内存池中分配的,因此无论是模块的开头还是模块中的函数和符号都没有固定的 | ||
| 297 | 位置。 | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | 内核支持系统调用,允许程序确定加载哪些模块及其在内存中的位置。klogd守护进程 | ||
| 300 | 使用这些系统调用构建了一个符号表,可用于调试可加载内核模块中发生的保护错误。 | ||
| 301 | |||
| 302 | klogd至少会提供产生保护故障的模块的名称。如果可加载模块的开发人员选择从模块 | ||
| 303 | 导出符号信息,则可能会有其他可用的符号信息。 | ||
| 304 | |||
| 305 | 由于内核模块环境可以是动态的,因此当模块环境发生变化时,必须有一种通知 | ||
| 306 | ``klogd`` 守护进程的机制。有一些可用的命令行选项允许klogd向当前正在执行的守 | ||
| 307 | 护进程发出信号示意应该刷新符号信息。有关更多信息,请参阅 ``klogd`` 手册页。 | ||
| 308 | |||
| 309 | sysklogd发行版附带了一个补丁,它修改了 ``modules-2.0.0`` 包,以便在加载或 | ||
| 310 | 卸载模块时自动向klogd发送信号。应用此补丁基本上可无缝支持调试内核可加载模块 | ||
| 311 | 发生的保护故障。 | ||
| 312 | |||
| 313 | 以下是 ``klogd`` 处理的可加载模块中的保护故障示例:: | ||

| 10 | ========================================= | ||
| 11 | |||

| 15 | |||
| 16 | Cristian Souza <cristianmsbr at gmail period com> | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 本文档提供了加载初始化二进制(init binary)失败的一些高层级原因(大致按执行 | ||
| 19 | 顺序列出)。 | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 1) **无法挂载根文件系统Unable to mount root FS** :请设置“debug”内核参数(在 | ||
| 22 | 引导加载程序bootloader配置文件或CONFIG_CMDLINE)以获取更详细的内核消息。 | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 2) **初始化二进制不存在于根文件系统上init binary doesn't exist on rootfs** : | ||
| 25 | 确保您的根文件系统类型正确(并且 ``root=`` 内核参数指向正确的分区);拥有 | ||
| 26 | 所需的驱动程序,例如SCSI或USB等存储硬件;文件系统(ext3、jffs2等)是内建的 | ||
| 27 | (或者作为模块由initrd预加载)。 | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 3) **控制台设备损坏Broken console device** : ``console= setup`` 中可能存在 | ||
| 30 | 冲突 --> 初始控制台不可用(initial console unavailable)。例如,由于串行 | ||
| 31 | IRQ问题(如缺少基于中断的配置)导致的某些串行控制台不可靠。尝试使用不同的 | ||
| 32 | ``console= device`` 或像 ``netconsole=`` 。 | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 4) **二进制存在但依赖项不可用Binary exists but dependencies not available** : | ||
| 35 | 例如初始化二进制的必需库依赖项,像 ``/lib/ld-linux.so.2`` 丢失或损坏。使用 | ||
| 36 | ``readelf -d <INIT>|grep NEEDED`` 找出需要哪些库。 | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 5) **无法加载二进制Binary cannot be loaded** :请确保二进制的体系结构与您的 | ||
| 39 | 硬件匹配。例如i386不匹配x86_64,或者尝试在ARM硬件上加载x86。如果您尝试在 | ||
| 40 | 此处加载非二进制文件(shell脚本?),您应该确保脚本在其工作头(shebang | ||
| 41 | header)行 ``#!/...`` 中指定能正常工作的解释器(包括其库依赖项)。在处理 | ||
| 42 | 脚本之前,最好先测试一个简单的非脚本二进制文件,比如 ``/bin/sh`` ,并确认 | ||
| 43 | 它能成功执行。要了解更多信息,请将代码添加到 ``init/main.c`` 以显示 | ||
| 44 | kernel_execve()的返回值。 | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | 当您发现新的失败原因时,请扩展本解释(毕竟加载初始化二进制是一个 **关键** 且 | ||
| 47 | 艰难的过渡步骤,需要尽可能无痛地进行),然后向LKML提交一个补丁。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 待办事项: | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | - 通过一个可以存储 ``kernel_execve()`` 结果值的结构体数组实现各种 | ||
| 52 | ``run_init_process()`` 调用,并在失败时通过迭代 **所有** 结果来记录一切 | ||
| 53 | (非常重要的可用性修复)。 | ||
| 54 | - 试着使实现本身在一般情况下更有帮助,例如在受影响的地方提供额外的错误消息。 | ||

| 21 | 报告问题 | ||
| 22 | +++++++++ | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | 简明指南(亦即 太长不看) | ||
| 26 | ========================== | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 您面临的是否为同系列稳定版或长期支持内核的普通内核的回归?是否仍然受支持? | ||
| 29 | 请搜索 `LKML内核邮件列表 <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/>`_ 和 | ||
| 30 | `Linux稳定版邮件列表 <https://lore.kernel.org/stable/>`_ 存档中匹配的报告并 | ||
| 31 | 加入讨论。如果找不到匹配的报告,请安装该系列的最新版本。如果它仍然出现问题, | ||
| 32 | 报告给稳定版邮件列表(stable@vger.kernel.org)。 | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 在所有其他情况下,请尽可能猜测是哪个内核部分导致了问题。查看MAINTAINERS文件, | ||
| 35 | 了解开发人员希望如何得知问题,大多数情况下,报告问题都是通过电子邮件和抄送 | ||
| 36 | 相关邮件列表进行的。检查报告目的地的存档中是否已有匹配的报告;也请搜索 | ||
| 37 | `LKML <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/>`_ 和网络。如果找不到可加入的讨论,请 | ||
| 38 | 安装 `最新的主线内核 <https://kernel.org/>`_ 。如果仍存在问题,请发送报告。 | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 问题已经解决了,但是您希望看到它在一个仍然支持的稳定版或长期支持系列中得到 | ||
| 41 | 解决?请安装其最新版本。如果它出现了问题,那么在主线中搜索修复它的更改,并 | ||
| 42 | 检查是否正在回传(backporting)或者已放弃;如果两者都没有,那么可询问处理 | ||
| 43 | 更改的人员。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | **通用提醒** :当安装和测试上述内核时,请确保它是普通的(即:没有补丁,也没 | ||
| 46 | 有使用附加模块)。还要确保它是在一个正常的环境中构建和运行,并且在问题发生 | ||
| 47 | 之前没有被污染(tainted)。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 在编写报告时,要涵盖与问题相关的所有信息,如使用的内核和发行版。在碰见回归时, | ||
| 50 | 尝试给出引入它的更改的提交ID,二分可以找到它。如果您同时面临Linux内核的多个 | ||
| 51 | 问题,请分别报告每个问题。 | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 一旦报告发出,请回答任何出现的问题,并尽可能地提供帮助。这包括通过不时重新 | ||
| 54 | 测试新版本并发送状态更新来推动进展。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 如何向内核维护人员报告问题的逐步指南 | ||
| 58 | ===================================== | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 上面的简明指南概述了如何向Linux内核开发人员报告问题。对于已经熟悉向自由和开 | ||
| 61 | 源软件(FLOSS)项目报告问题的人来说,这可能是他们所需要的全部内容。对于其他 | ||
| 62 | 人,本部分更为详细,并一步一步地描述。为了便于阅读,它仍然尽量简洁,并省略 | ||
| 63 | 了许多细节;这些在逐步指南后的参考章节中进行了描述,该章节更详细地解释了每 | ||
| 64 | 个步骤。 | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 注意:本节涉及的方面比简明指南多,顺序也稍有不同。这符合你的利益,以确保您 | ||
| 67 | 尽早意识到看起来像Linux内核毛病的问题可能实际上是由其他原因引起的。这些步骤 | ||
| 68 | 可以确保你最终不会觉得在这一过程中投入的时间是浪费: | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | * 您是否面临硬件或软件供应商提供的Linux内核的问题?那么基本上您最好停止阅读 | ||
| 71 | 本文档,转而向您的供应商报告问题,除非您愿意自己安装最新的Linux版本。寻找 | ||
| 72 | 和解决问题往往需要后者。 | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | * 使用您喜爱的网络搜索引擎对现有报告进行粗略搜索;此外,请检查 | ||
| 75 | `Linux内核邮件列表(LKML) <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/>`_ 的存档。如果 | ||
| 76 | 找到匹配的报告,请加入讨论而不是发送新报告。 | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | * 看看你正在处理的问题是否为回归问题、安全问题或非常严重的问题:这些都是需 | ||
| 79 | 要在接下来的一些步骤中特别处理的“高优先级问题”。 | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | * 确保不是内核环境导致了您面临的问题。 | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | * 创建一个新的备份,并将系统修复和恢复工具放在手边。 | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | * 确保您的系统不会通过动态构建额外的内核模块来增强其内核,像DKMS这样的解决 | ||
| 86 | 方案可能在您不知情的情况下就在本地进行了这样的工作。 | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | * 当问题发生时,检查您的内核是否被“污染”,因为使内核设置这个标志的事件可能 | ||
| 89 | 会导致您面临的问题。 | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | * 粗略地写下如何重现这个问题。如果您同时处理多个问题,请为每个问题单独写注 | ||
| 92 | 释,并确保它们在新启动的系统上独立出现。这是必要的,因为每个问题都需要分 | ||
| 93 | 别报告给内核开发人员,除非它们严重纠缠在一起。 | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | * 如果您正面临稳定版或长期支持版本线的回归(例如从5.10.4更新到5.10.5时出现 | ||
| 96 | 故障),请查看后文“报告稳定版和长期支持内核线的回归”小节。 | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | * 定位可能引起问题的驱动程序或内核子系统。找出其开发人员期望的报告的方式和 | ||
| 99 | 位置。注意:大多数情况下不会是 bugzilla.kernel.org,因为问题通常需要通 | ||
| 100 | 过邮件发送给维护人员和公共邮件列表。 | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | * 在缺陷追踪器或问题相关邮件列表的存档中彻底搜索可能与您的问题匹配的报告。 | ||
| 103 | 如果你发现了一些相关讨论,请加入讨论而不是发送新的报告。 | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | 在完成这些准备之后,你将进入主要部分: | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | * 除非您已经在运行最新的“主线”Linux内核,否则最好在报告流程前安装它。在某些 | ||
| 108 | 情况下,使用最新的“稳定版”Linux进行测试和报告也是可以接受的替代方案;在 | ||
| 109 | 合并窗口期间,这实际上可能是最好的方法,但在开发阶段最好还是暂停几天。无论 | ||
| 110 | 你选择什么版本,最好使用“普通”构建。忽略这些建议会大大增加您的报告被拒绝 | ||
| 111 | 或忽略的风险。 | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | * 确保您刚刚安装的内核在运行时不会“污染”自己。 | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | * 在您刚刚安装的内核中复现这个问题。如果它没有出现,请查看下方只发生在 | ||
| 116 | 稳定版和长期支持内核的问题的说明。 | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | * 优化你的笔记:试着找到并写出最直接的复现问题的方法。确保最终结果包含所有 | ||
| 119 | 重要的细节,同时让第一次听说的人容易阅读和理解。如果您在此过程中学到了一 | ||
| 120 | 些东西,请考虑再次搜索关于该问题的现有报告。 | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | * 如果失败涉及“panic”、“Oops”、“warning”或“BUG”,请考虑解码内核日志以查找触 | ||
| 123 | 发错误的代码行。 | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | * 如果您的问题是回归问题,请尽可能缩小引入问题时的范围。 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | * 通过详细描述问题来开始编写报告。记得包括以下条目:您为复现而安装的最新内 | ||
| 128 | 核版本、使用的Linux发行版以及关于如何复现该问题的说明。如果可能,将内核 | ||
| 129 | 构建配置(.config)和 ``dmesg`` 的输出放在网上的某个地方,并链接到它。包 | ||
| 130 | 含或上传所有其他可能相关的信息,如Oops的输出/截图或来自 ``lspci`` 的输出 | ||
| 131 | 。一旦你写完了这个主要部分,请在上方插入一个正常长度的段落快速概述问题和 | ||
| 132 | 影响。再在此之上添加一个简单描述问题的句子,以得到人们的阅读。现在给出一 | ||
| 133 | 个更短的描述性标题或主题。然后就可以像MAINTAINERS文件告诉你的那样发送或 | ||
| 134 | 提交报告了,除非你在处理一个“高优先级问题”:它们需要按照下面“高优先级问 | ||
| 135 | 题的特殊处理”所述特别关照。 | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | * 等待别人的反应,继续推进事情,直到你能够接受这样或那样的结果。因此,请公 | ||
| 138 | 开和及时地回应任何询问。测试提出的修复。积极地测试:至少重新测试每个新主 | ||
| 139 | 线版本的首个候选版本(RC),并报告你的结果。如果出现拖延,就友好地提醒一 | ||
| 140 | 下。如果你没有得到任何帮助或者未能满意,请试着自己帮助自己。 | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | 报告稳定版和长期支持内核线的回归 | ||
| 144 | ---------------------------------- | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | 如果您发现了稳定版或长期支持内核版本线中的回归问题并按上述流程跳到这里,那么 | ||
| 147 | 请阅读本小节。即例如您在从5.10.4更新到5.10.5时出现了问题(从5.9.15到5.10.5则 | ||
| 148 | 不是)。开发人员希望尽快修复此类回归,因此有一个简化流程来报告它们: | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | * 检查内核开发人员是否仍然维护你关心的Linux内核版本线:去 `kernel.org 的首页 | ||
| 151 | <https://kernel.org/>`_ ,确保此特定版本线的最新版没有“[EOL]”标记。 | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | * 检查 `Linux稳定版邮件列表 <https://lore.kernel.org/stable/>`_ 中的现有报告。 | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | * 从特定的版本线安装最新版本作为纯净内核。确保这个内核没有被污染,并且仍然 | ||
| 156 | 存在问题,因为问题可能已经在那里被修复了。如果您第一次发现供应商内核的问题, | ||
| 157 | 请检查已知最新版本的普通构建是否可以正常运行。 | ||
| 158 | |||
| 159 | * 向Linux稳定版邮件列表发送一个简短的问题报告(stable@vger.kernel.org)。大致 | ||
| 160 | 描述问题,并解释如何复现。讲清楚首个出现问题的版本和最后一个工作正常的版本。 | ||
| 161 | 然后等待进一步的指示。 | ||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | 下面的参考章节部分详细解释了这些步骤中的每一步。 | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | 报告只发生在较旧内核版本线的问题 | ||
| 167 | ---------------------------------- | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | 若您尝试了上述的最新主线内核,但未能在那里复现问题,那么本小节适用于您;以下 | ||
| 170 | 流程有助于使问题在仍然支持的稳定版或长期支持版本线,或者定期基于最新稳定版或 | ||
| 171 | 长期支持内核的供应商内核中得到修复。如果是这种情况,请执行以下步骤: | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | * 请做好准备,接下来的几个步骤可能无法在旧版本中解决问题:修复可能太大或太 | ||
| 174 | 冒险,无法移植到那里。 | ||
| 175 | |||
| 176 | * 执行前节“报告稳定版和长期支持内核线的回归”中的前三个步骤。 | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | * 在Linux内核版本控制系统中搜索修复主线问题的更改,因为它的提交消息可能会 | ||
| 179 | 告诉你修复是否已经计划好了支持。如果你没有找到,搜索适当的邮件列表,寻找 | ||
| 180 | 讨论此类问题或同行评议可能修复的帖子;然后检查讨论是否认为修复不适合支持。 | ||
| 181 | 如果支持根本不被考虑,加入最新的讨论,询问是否有可能。 | ||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | * 前面的步骤之一应该会给出一个解决方案。如果仍未能成功,请向可能引起问题的 | ||
| 184 | 子系统的维护人员询问建议;抄送特定子系统的邮件列表以及稳定版邮件列表 | ||
| 185 | |||
| 186 | 下面的参考章节部分详细解释了这些步骤中的每一步。 | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 参考章节:向内核维护者报告问题 | ||
| 190 | =============================== | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 上面的详细指南简要地列出了所有主要步骤,这对大多数人来说应该足够了。但有时, | ||
| 193 | 即使是有经验的用户也可能想知道如何实际执行这些步骤之一。这就是本节的目的, | ||
| 194 | 因为它将提供关于上述每个步骤的更多细节。请将此作为参考文档:可以从头到尾 | ||
| 195 | 阅读它。但它主要是为了浏览和查找如何实际执行这些步骤的详细信息。 | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | 在深入挖掘细节之前,我想先给你一些一般性建议: | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | * Linux内核开发人员很清楚这个过程很复杂,比其他的FLOSS项目要求更多。我们很 | ||
| 200 | 希望让它更简单。但这需要在不同的地方以及一些基础设施上付诸努力,这些基础 | ||
| 201 | 设施需要持续的维护;尚未有人站出来做这些工作,所以目前情况就是这样。 | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | * 与某些供应商签订的保证或支持合同并不能使您有权要求上游Linux内核社区的开 | ||
| 204 | 发人员进行修复:这样的合同完全在Linux内核、其开发社区和本文档的范围之外。 | ||
| 205 | 这就是为什么在这种情况下,你不能要求任何契约保证,即使开发人员处理的问 | ||
| 206 | 题对供应商有效。如果您想主张您的权利,使用供应商的支持渠道代替。当这样做 | ||
| 207 | 的时候,你可能想提出你希望看到这个问题在上游Linux内核中修复;可以这是确 | ||
| 208 | 保最终修复将被纳入所有Linux发行版的唯一方法来鼓励他们。 | ||
| 209 | |||
| 210 | * 如果您从未向FLOSS项目报告过任何问题,那么您应该考虑阅读 `如何有效地报告 | ||
| 211 | 缺陷 <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>`_ , `如何 | ||
| 212 | 以明智的方式提问 <http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>`_ , | ||
| 213 | 和 `如何提出好问题 <https://jvns.ca/blog/good-questions/>`_ 。 | ||
| 214 | |||
| 215 | 解决这些问题之后,可以在下面找到如何正确地向Linux内核报告问题的详细信息。 | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | 确保您使用的是上游Linux内核 | ||
| 219 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | *您是否面临硬件或软件供应商提供的Linux内核的问题?那么基本上您最好停止阅 | ||
| 222 | 读本文档,转而向您的供应商报告问题,除非您愿意自己安装最新的Linux版本。 | ||
| 223 | 寻找和解决问题往往需要后者。* | ||
| 224 | |||
| 225 | 与大多数程序员一样,Linux内核开发人员不喜欢花时间处理他们维护的源代码中根本 | ||
| 226 | 不会发生的问题的报告。这只会浪费每个人的时间,尤其是你的时间。不幸的是,当 | ||
| 227 | 涉及到内核时,这样的情况很容易发生,并且常常导致双方气馁。这是因为几乎所有预 | ||
| 228 | 装在设备(台式机、笔记本电脑、智能手机、路由器等)上的Linux内核,以及大多数 | ||
| 229 | 由Linux发行商提供的内核,都与由kernel.org发行的官方Linux内核相距甚远:从Linux | ||
| 230 | 开发的角度来看,这些供应商提供的内核通常是古老的或者经过了大量修改,通常两点 | ||
| 231 | 兼具。 | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | 大多数供应商内核都不适合用来向Linux内核开发人员报告问题:您在其中遇到的问题 | ||
| 234 | 可能已经由Linux内核开发人员在数月或数年前修复;此外,供应商的修改和增强可能 | ||
| 235 | 会导致您面临的问题,即使它们看起来很小或者完全不相关。这就是为什么您应该向 | ||
| 236 | 供应商报告这些内核的问题。它的开发者应该查看报告,如果它是一个上游问题,直接 | ||
| 237 | 于上游修复或将报告转发到那里。在实践中,这有时行不通。因此,您可能需要考虑 | ||
| 238 | 通过自己安装最新的Linux内核内核来绕过供应商。如果如果您选择此方法,那么本指 | ||
| 239 | 南后面的步骤将解释如何在排除了其他可能导致您的问题的原因后执行此操作。 | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | 注意前段使用的词语是“大多数”,因为有时候开发人员实际上愿意处理供应商内核出现 | ||
| 242 | 的问题报告。他们是否这么做很大程度上取决于开发人员和相关问题。如果发行版只 | ||
| 243 | 根据最近的Linux版本对内核进行了较小修改,那么机会就比较大;例如对于Debian | ||
| 244 | GNU/Linux Sid或Fedora Rawhide所提供的主线内核。一些开发人员还将接受基于最新 | ||
| 245 | 稳定内核的发行版内核问题报告,只要它改动不大;例如Arch Linux、常规Fedora版本 | ||
| 246 | 和openSUSE Turboweed。但是请记住,您最好使用主线Linux,并避免在此流程中使用 | ||
| 247 | 稳定版内核,如“安装一个新的内核进行测试”一节中所详述。 | ||
| 248 | |||
| 249 | 当然,您可以忽略所有这些建议,并向上游Linux开发人员报告旧的或经过大量修改的 | ||
| 250 | 供应商内核的问题。但是注意,这样的报告经常被拒绝或忽视,所以自行小心考虑一下。 | ||
| 251 | 不过这还是比根本不报告问题要好:有时候这样的报告会直接或间接地帮助解决之后的 | ||
| 252 | 问题。 | ||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | |||
| 255 | 搜索现有报告(第一部分) | ||
| 256 | ------------------------- | ||
| 257 | |||
| 258 | *使用您喜爱的网络搜索引擎对现有报告进行粗略搜索;此外,请检查Linux内核 | ||
| 259 | 邮件列表(LKML)的存档。如果找到匹配的报告,请加入讨论而不是发送新报告。* | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | 报告一个别人已经提出的问题,对每个人来说都是浪费时间,尤其是作为报告人的你。 | ||
| 262 | 所以彻底检查是否有人已经报告了这个问题,这对你自己是有利的。在流程中的这一步, | ||
| 263 | 可以只执行一个粗略的搜索:一旦您知道您的问题需要报告到哪里,稍后的步骤将告诉 | ||
| 264 | 您如何详细搜索。尽管如此,不要仓促完成这一步,它可以节省您的时间和减少麻烦。 | ||
| 265 | |||
| 266 | 只需先用你最喜欢的搜索引擎在互联网上搜索。然后再搜索Linux内核邮件列表(LKML) | ||
| 267 | 存档。 | ||
| 268 | |||
| 269 | 如果搜索结果实在太多,可以考虑让你的搜索引擎将搜索时间范围限制在过去的一个 | ||
| 270 | 月或一年。而且无论你在哪里搜索,一定要用恰当的搜索关键词;也要变化几次关键 | ||
| 271 | 词。同时,试着从别人的角度看问题:这将帮助你想出其他的关键词。另外,一定不 | ||
| 272 | 要同时使用过多的关键词。记住搜索时要同时尝试包含和不包含内核驱动程序的名称 | ||
| 273 | 或受影响的硬件组件的名称等信息。但其确切的品牌名称(比如说“华硕红魔 Radeon | ||
| 274 | RX 5700 XT Gaming OC”)往往帮助不大,因为它太具体了。相反,尝试搜索术语,如 | ||
| 275 | 型号(Radeon 5700 或 Radeon 5000)和核心代号(“Navi”或“Navi10”),以及包含 | ||
| 276 | 和不包含其制造商(“AMD”)。 | ||
| 277 | |||
| 278 | 如果你发现了关于你的问题的现有报告,请加入讨论,因为你可能会提供有价值的额 | ||
| 279 | 外信息。这一点很重要,即使是在修复程序已经准备好或处于最后阶段,因为开发人 | ||
| 280 | 员可能会寻找能够提供额外信息或测试建议修复程序的人。跳到“发布报告后的责任” | ||
| 281 | 一节,了解有关如何正确参与的细节。 | ||
| 282 | |||
| 283 | 注意,搜索 `bugzilla.kernel.org <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/>`_ 网站可能 | ||
| 284 | 也是一个好主意,因为这可能会提供有价值的见解或找到匹配的报告。如果您发现后者, | ||
| 285 | 请记住:大多数子系统都希望在不同的位置报告,如下面“你需要将问题报告到何处” | ||
| 286 | 一节中所述。因此本应处理这个问题的开发人员甚至可能不知道bugzilla的工单。所以 | ||
| 287 | 请检查工单中的问题是否已经按照本文档所述得到报告,如果没有,请考虑这样做。 | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | 高优先级的问题? | ||
| 290 | ----------------- | ||
| 291 | |||
| 292 | *看看你正在处理的问题是否是回归问题、安全问题或非常严重的问题:这些都是 | ||
| 293 | 需要在接下来的一些步骤中特别处理的“高优先级问题”。* | ||
| 294 | |||
| 295 | Linus Torvalds和主要的Linux内核开发人员希望看到一些问题尽快得到解决,因此在 | ||
| 296 | 报告过程中有一些“高优先级问题”的处理略有不同。有三种情况符合条件:回归、安全 | ||
| 297 | 问题和非常严重的问题。 | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | 如果在旧版本的Linux内核中工作的东西不能在新版本的Linux内核中工作,或者某种 | ||
| 300 | 程度上在新版本的Linux内核中工作得更差,那么你就需要处理“回归”。因此,当一个 | ||
| 301 | 在Linux 5.7中表现良好的WiFi驱动程序在5.8中表现不佳或根本不能工作时,这是一 | ||
| 302 | 种回归。如果应用程序在新的内核中出现不稳定的现象,这也是一种回归,这可能是 | ||
| 303 | 由于内核和用户空间之间的接口(如procfs和sysfs)发生不兼容的更改造成的。显著 | ||
| 304 | 的性能降低或功耗增加也可以称为回归。但是请记住:新内核需要使用与旧内核相似的 | ||
| 305 | 配置来构建(参见下面如何实现这一点)。这是因为内核开发人员在实现新特性时有 | ||
| 306 | 时无法避免不兼容性;但是为了避免回归,这些特性必须在构建配置期间显式地启用。 | ||
| 307 | |||
| 308 | 什么是安全问题留给您自己判断。在继续之前,请考虑阅读 | ||
| 309 | “Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst”, | ||
| 310 | 因为它提供了如何最恰当地处理安全问题的额外细节。 | ||
| 311 | |||
| 312 | 当发生了完全无法接受的糟糕事情时,此问题就是一个“非常严重的问题”。例如, | ||
| 313 | Linux内核破坏了它处理的数据或损坏了它运行的硬件。当内核突然显示错误消息 | ||
| 314 | (“kernel panic”)并停止工作,或者根本没有任何停止信息时,您也在处理一个严重 | ||
| 315 | 的问题。注意:不要混淆“panic”(内核停止自身的致命错误)和“Oops”(可恢复错误), | ||
| 316 | 因为显示后者之后内核仍然在运行。 | ||
| 317 | |||
| 318 | |||
| 319 | 确保环境健康 | ||
| 320 | -------------- | ||
| 321 | |||
| 322 | *确保不是内核所处环境导致了你所面临的问题。* | ||
| 323 | |||
| 324 | 看起来很像内核问题的问题有时是由构建或运行时环境引起的。很难完全排除这种问 | ||
| 325 | 题,但你应该尽量减少这种问题: | ||
| 326 | |||
| 327 | * 构建内核时,请使用经过验证的工具,因为编译器或二进制文件中的错误可能会导 | ||
| 328 | 致内核出现错误行为。 | ||
| 329 | |||
| 330 | * 确保您的计算机组件在其设计规范内运行;这对处理器、内存和主板尤为重要。因 | ||
| 331 | 此,当面临潜在的内核问题时,停止低电压或超频。 | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | * 尽量确保不是硬件故障导致了你的问题。例如,内存损坏会导致大量的问题,这些 | ||
| 334 | 问题会表现为看起来像内核问题。 | ||
| 335 | |||
| 336 | * 如果你正在处理一个文件系统问题,你可能需要用 ``fsck`` 检查一下文件系统, | ||
| 337 | 因为它可能会以某种方式被损坏,从而导致无法预期的内核行为。 | ||
| 338 | |||
| 339 | * 在处理回归问题时,要确保没有在更新内核的同时发生了其他变化。例如,这个问 | ||
| 340 | 题可能是由同时更新的其他软件引起的。也有可能是在你第一次重启进入新内核时, | ||
| 341 | 某个硬件巧合地坏了。更新系统 BIOS 或改变 BIOS 设置中的某些内容也会导致 | ||
| 342 | 一些看起来很像内核回归的问题。 | ||
| 343 | |||
| 344 | |||
| 345 | 为紧急情况做好准备 | ||
| 346 | ------------------- | ||
| 347 | |||
| 348 | *创建一个全新的备份,并将系统修复和还原工具放在手边* | ||
| 349 | |||
| 350 | 我得提醒您,您正在和计算机打交道,计算机有时会出现意想不到的事情,尤其是当 | ||
| 351 | 您折腾其操作系统的内核等关键部件时。而这就是你在这个过程中要做的事情。因此, | ||
| 352 | 一定要创建一个全新的备份;还要确保你手头有修复或重装操作系统的所有工具, | ||
| 353 | 以及恢复备份所需的一切。 | ||
| 354 | |||
| 355 | |||
| 356 | 确保你的内核不会被增强 | ||
| 357 | ------------------------ | ||
| 358 | |||
| 359 | *确保您的系统不会通过动态构建额外的内核模块来增强其内核,像DKMS这样的解 | ||
| 360 | 决方案可能在您不知情的情况下就在本地进行了这样的工作。* | ||
| 361 | |||
| 362 | 如果内核以任何方式得到增强,那么问题报告被忽略或拒绝的风险就会急剧增加。这就 | ||
| 363 | 是为什么您应该删除或禁用像akmods和DKMS这样的机制:这些机制会自动构建额外内核 | ||
| 364 | 模块,例如当您安装新的Linux内核或第一次引导它时。也要记得同时删除他们可能安装 | ||
| 365 | 的任何模块。然后重新启动再继续。 | ||
| 366 | |||
| 367 | 注意,你可能不知道你的系统正在使用这些解决方案之一:当你安装 Nvidia 专有图 | ||
| 368 | 形驱动程序、VirtualBox 或其他需要 Linux 内核以外的模块支持的软件时,它们通 | ||
| 369 | 常会静默设置。这就是为什么你可能需要卸载这些软件的软件包,以摆脱任何第三方 | ||
| 370 | 内核模块。 | ||
| 371 | |||
| 372 | |||
| 373 | 检查“污染”标志 | ||
| 374 | ---------------- | ||
| 375 | |||
| 376 | *当问题发生时,检查您的内核是否被“污染”,因为使内核设置这个标志的事件可 | ||
| 377 | 能会导致您面临的问题。* | ||
| 378 | |||
| 379 | 当某些可能会导致看起来完全不相关的后续错误的事情发生时,内核会用“污染 | ||
| 380 | (taint)”标志标记自己。如果您的内核受到污染,那么您面临的可能是这样的错误。 | ||
| 381 | 因此在投入更多时间到这个过程中之前,尽早排除此情况可能对你有好处。这是这个 | ||
| 382 | 步骤出现在这里的唯一原因,因为这个过程稍后会告诉您安装最新的主线内核;然后 | ||
| 383 | 您将需要再次检查污染标志,因为当它出问题的时候内核报告会关注它。 | ||
| 384 | |||
| 385 | 在正在运行的系统上检查内核是否污染非常容易:如果 ``cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted`` | ||
| 386 | 返回“0”,那么内核没有被污染,一切正常。在某些情况下无法检查该文件;这就是 | ||
| 387 | 为什么当内核报告内部问题(“kernel bug”)、可恢复错误(“kernel Oops”)或停止 | ||
| 388 | 操作前不可恢复的错误(“kernel panic”)时,它也会提到污染状态。当其中一个错 | ||
| 389 | 误发生时,查看打印的错误消息的顶部,搜索以“CPU:”开头的行。如果发现问题时内 | ||
| 390 | 核未被污染,那么它应该以“Not infected”结束;如果你看到“Tainted:”且后跟一些 | ||
| 391 | 空格和字母,那就被污染了。 | ||
| 392 | |||
| 393 | 如果你的内核被污染了,请阅读“Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst” | ||
| 394 | 以找出原因。设法消除污染因素。通常是由以下三种因素之一引起的: | ||
| 395 | |||
| 396 | 1. 发生了一个可恢复的错误(“kernel Oops”),内核污染了自己,因为内核知道在 | ||
| 397 | 此之后它可能会出现奇怪的行为错乱。在这种情况下,检查您的内核或系统日志, | ||
| 398 | 并寻找以下列文字开头的部分:: | ||
| 399 | |||
| 400 | Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP | ||
| 401 | |||
| 402 | 如方括号中的“#1”所示,这是自启动以来的第一次Oops。每个Oops和此后发生的 | ||
| 403 | 任何其他问题都可能是首个Oops的后续问题,即使这两个问题看起来完全不相关。 | ||
| 404 | 通过消除首个Oops的原因并在之后复现该问题,可以排除这种情况。有时仅仅 | ||
| 405 | 重新启动就足够了,有时更改配置后重新启动可以消除Oops。但是在这个流程中 | ||
| 406 | 不要花费太多时间在这一点上,因为引起Oops的原因可能已经在您稍后将按流程 | ||
| 407 | 安装的新Linux内核版本中修复了。 | ||
| 408 | |||
| 409 | 2. 您的系统使用的软件安装了自己的内核模块,例如Nvidia的专有图形驱动程序或 | ||
| 410 | VirtualBox。当内核从外部源(即使它们是开源的)加载此类模块时,它会污染 | ||
| 411 | 自己:它们有时会在不相关的内核区域导致错误,从而可能导致您面临的问题。 | ||
| 412 | 因此,当您想要向Linux内核开发人员报告问题时,您必须阻止这些模块加载。 | ||
| 413 | 大多数情况下最简单的方法是:临时卸载这些软件,包括它们可能已经安装的任 | ||
| 414 | 何模块。之后重新启动。 | ||
| 415 | |||
| 416 | 3. 当内核加载驻留在Linux内核源代码staging树中的模块时,它也会污染自身。这 | ||
| 417 | 是一个特殊的区域,代码(主要是驱动程序)还没有达到正常Linux内核的质量 | ||
| 418 | 标准。当您报告此种模块的问题时,内核受到污染显然是没有问题的;只需确保 | ||
| 419 | 问题模块是造成污染的唯一原因。如果问题发生在一个不相关的区域,重新启动 | ||
| 420 | 并通过指定 ``foo.blacklist=1`` 作为内核参数临时阻止该模块被加载(用有 | ||
| 421 | 问题的模块名替换“foo”)。 | ||
| 422 | |||
| 423 | |||
| 424 | 记录如何重现问题 | ||
| 425 | ------------------ | ||
| 426 | |||
| 427 | *粗略地写下如何重现这个问题。如果您同时处理多个问题,请为每个问题单独写 | ||
| 428 | 注释,并确保它们在新启动的系统上独立出现。这是必要的,因为每个问题都需 | ||
| 429 | 要分别报告给内核开发人员,除非它们严重纠缠在一起。* | ||
| 430 | |||
| 431 | 如果你同时处理多个问题,必须分别报告每个问题,因为它们可能由不同的开发人员 | ||
| 432 | 处理。在一份报告中描述多种问题,也会让其他人难以将其分开。因此只有在问题严 | ||
| 433 | 重纠缠的情况下,才能将问题合并在一份报告中。 | ||
| 434 | |||
| 435 | 此外,在报告过程中,你必须测试该问题是否发生在其他内核版本上。因此,如果您 | ||
| 436 | 知道如何在一个新启动的系统上快速重现问题,将使您的工作更加轻松。 | ||
| 437 | |||
| 438 | 注意:报告只发生过一次的问题往往是没有结果的,因为它们可能是由于宇宙辐射导 | ||
| 439 | 致的位翻转。所以你应该尝试通过重现问题来排除这种情况,然后再继续。如果你有 | ||
| 440 | 足够的经验来区分由于硬件故障引起的一次性错误和难以重现的罕见内核问题,可以 | ||
| 441 | 忽略这个建议。 | ||
| 442 | |||
| 443 | |||
| 444 | 稳定版或长期支持内核的回归? | ||
| 445 | ----------------------------- | ||
| 446 | |||
| 447 | *如果您正面临稳定版或长期支持版本线的回归(例如从5.10.4更新到5.10.5时出现 | ||
| 448 | 故障),请查看后文“报告稳定版和长期支持内核线的回归”小节。* | ||
| 449 | |||
| 450 | 稳定版和长期支持内核版本线中的回归是Linux开发人员非常希望解决的问题,这样的 | ||
| 451 | 问题甚至比主线开发分支中的回归更不应出现,因为它们会很快影响到很多人。开发人员 | ||
| 452 | 希望尽快了解此类问题,因此有一个简化流程来报告这些问题。注意,使用更新内核版 | ||
| 453 | 本线的回归(比如从5.9.15切换到5.10.5时出现故障)不符合条件。 | ||
| 454 | |||
| 455 | |||
| 456 | 你需要将问题报告到何处 | ||
| 457 | ------------------------ | ||
| 458 | |||
| 459 | *定位可能引起问题的驱动程序或内核子系统。找出其开发人员期望的报告的方式 | ||
| 460 | 和位置。注意:大多数情况下不会是bugzilla.kernel.org,因为问题通常需要通 | ||
| 461 | 过邮件发送给维护人员和公共邮件列表。* | ||
| 462 | |||
| 463 | 将报告发送给合适的人是至关重要的,因为Linux内核是一个大项目,大多数开发人员 | ||
| 464 | 只熟悉其中的一小部分。例如,相当多的程序员只关心一个驱动程序,比如一个WiFi | ||
| 465 | 芯片驱动程序;它的开发人员可能对疏远的或不相关的“子系统”(如TCP堆栈、 | ||
| 466 | PCIe/PCI子系统、内存管理或文件系统)的内部知识了解很少或完全不了解。 | ||
| 467 | |||
| 468 | 问题在于:Linux内核缺少一个,可以简单地将问题归档并让需要了解它的开发人员了 | ||
| 469 | 解它的,中心化缺陷跟踪器。这就是为什么你必须找到正确的途径来自己报告问题。 | ||
| 470 | 您可以在脚本的帮助下做到这一点(见下文),但它主要针对的是内核开发人员和专 | ||
| 471 | 家。对于其他人来说,MAINTAINERS(维护人员)文件是更好的选择。 | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | 如何阅读MAINTAINERS维护者文件 | ||
| 474 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 475 | |||
| 476 | 为了说明如何使用 :ref:`MAINTAINERS <maintainers>` 文件,让我们假设您的笔记 | ||
| 477 | 本电脑中的WiFi在更新内核后突然出现了错误行为。这种情况下可能是WiFi驱动的问 | ||
| 478 | 题。显然,它也可能由于驱动基于的某些代码,但除非你怀疑有这样的东西会附着在 | ||
| 479 | 驱动程序上。如果真的是其他的问题,驱动程序的开发人员会让合适的人参与进来。 | ||
| 480 | |||
| 481 | 遗憾的是,没有通用且简单的办法来检查哪个代码驱动了特定硬件组件。 | ||
| 482 | |||
| 483 | 在WiFi驱动出现问题的情况下,你可能想查看 ``lspci -k`` 的输出,因为它列出了 | ||
| 484 | PCI/PCIe总线上的设备和驱动它的内核模块:: | ||
| 485 | |||
| 486 | [user@something ~]$ lspci -k | ||
| 487 | [...] | ||
| 488 | 3a:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32) | ||
| 489 | Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device 1535 | ||
| 490 | Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci | ||
| 491 | Kernel modules: ath10k_pci | ||
| 492 | [...] | ||
| 493 | |||
| 494 | 但如果你的WiFi芯片通过USB或其他内部总线连接,这种方法就行不通了。在这种情况 | ||
| 495 | 下,您可能需要检查您的WiFi管理器或 ``ip link`` 的输出。寻找有问题的网络接口 | ||
| 496 | 的名称,它可能类似于“wlp58s0”。此名称可以用来找到驱动它的模块:: | ||
| 497 | |||
| 498 | [user@something ~]$ realpath --relative-to=/sys/module//sys/class/net/wlp58s0/device/driver/module | ||
| 499 | ath10k_pci | ||
| 500 | |||
| 501 | 如果这些技巧不能进一步帮助您,请尝试在网上搜索如何缩小相关驱动程序或子系统 | ||
| 502 | 的范围。如果你不确定是哪一个:试着猜一下,即使你猜得不好,也会有人会帮助你 | ||
| 503 | 的。 | ||
| 504 | |||
| 505 | 一旦您知道了相应的驱动程序或子系统,您就希望在MAINTAINERS文件中搜索它。如果 | ||
| 506 | 是“ath10k_pci”,您不会找到任何东西,因为名称太具体了。有时你需要在网上寻找 | ||
| 507 | 帮助;但在此之前,请尝试使用一个稍短或修改过的名称来搜索MAINTAINERS文件,因 | ||
| 508 | 为这样你可能会发现类似这样的东西:: | ||
| 509 | |||
| 510 | QUALCOMM ATHEROS ATH10K WIRELESS DRIVER | ||
| 511 | Mail: A. Some Human <shuman@example.com> | ||
| 512 | Mailing list: ath10k@lists.infradead.org | ||
| 513 | Status: Supported | ||
| 514 | Web-page: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k | ||
| 515 | SCM: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git | ||
| 516 | Files: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/ | ||
| 517 | |||
| 518 | 注意:如果您阅读在Linux源代码树的根目录中找到的原始维护者文件,则行描述将是 | ||
| 519 | 缩写。例如,“Mail:(邮件)”将是“M:”,“Mailing list:(邮件列表)”将是“L”, | ||
| 520 | “Status:(状态)”将是“S:”。此文件顶部有一段解释了这些和其他缩写。 | ||
| 521 | |||
| 522 | 首先查看“Status”状态行。理想情况下,它应该得到“Supported(支持)”或 | ||
| 523 | “Maintained(维护)”。如果状态为“Obsolete(过时的)”,那么你在使用一些过时的 | ||
| 524 | 方法,需要转换到新的解决方案上。有时候,只有在感到有动力时,才会有人为代码 | ||
| 525 | 提供“Odd Fixes”。如果碰见“Orphan”,你就完全不走运了,因为再也没有人关心代码 | ||
| 526 | 了,只剩下这些选项:准备好与问题共存,自己修复它,或者找一个愿意修复它的程序员。 | ||
| 527 | |||
| 528 | 检查状态后,寻找以“bug:”开头的一行:它将告诉你在哪里可以找到子系统特定的缺 | ||
| 529 | 陷跟踪器来提交你的问题。上面的例子没有此行。大多数部分都是这样,因为 Linux | ||
| 530 | 内核的开发完全是由邮件驱动的。很少有子系统使用缺陷跟踪器,且其中只有一部分 | ||
| 531 | 依赖于 bugzilla.kernel.org。 | ||
| 532 | |||
| 533 | 在这种以及其他很多情况下,你必须寻找以“Mail:”开头的行。这些行提到了特定代码 | ||
| 534 | 的维护者的名字和电子邮件地址。也可以查找以“Mailing list:”开头的行,它告诉你 | ||
| 535 | 开发代码的公共邮件列表。你的报告之后需要通过邮件发到这些地址。另外,对于所有 | ||
| 536 | 通过电子邮件发送的问题报告,一定要抄送 Linux Kernel Mailing List(LKML) | ||
| 537 | <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>。在以后通过邮件发送问题报告时,不要遗漏任何 | ||
| 538 | 一个邮件列表!维护者都是大忙人,可能会把一些工作留给子系统特定列表上的其他开 | ||
| 539 | 发者;而 LKML 很重要,因为需要一个可以找到所有问题报告的地方。 | ||
| 540 | |||
| 541 | |||
| 542 | 借助脚本找到维护者 | ||
| 543 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 544 | |||
| 545 | 对于手头有Linux源码的人来说,有第二个可以找到合适的报告地点的选择:脚本 | ||
| 546 | “scripts/get_maintainer.pl”,它尝试找到所有要联系的人。它会查询MAINTAINERS | ||
| 547 | 文件,并需要用相关源代码的路径来调用。对于编译成模块的驱动程序,经常可以用 | ||
| 548 | 这样的命令找到:: | ||
| 549 | |||
| 550 | $ modinfo ath10k_pci | grep filename | sed 's!/lib/modules/.*/kernel/!!; s!filename:!!; s!\.ko\(\|\.xz\)!!' | ||
| 551 | drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/ath10k_pci.ko | ||
| 552 | |||
| 553 | 将其中的部分内容传递给脚本:: | ||
| 554 | |||
| 555 | $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k* | ||
| 556 | Some Human <shuman@example.com> (supporter:QUALCOMM ATHEROS ATH10K WIRELESS DRIVER) | ||
| 557 | Another S. Human <asomehuman@example.com> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS) | ||
| 558 | ath10k@lists.infradead.org (open list:QUALCOMM ATHEROS ATH10K WIRELESS DRIVER) | ||
| 559 | linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS (WIRELESS)) | ||
| 560 | netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS) | ||
| 561 | linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) | ||
| 562 | |||
| 563 | 不要把你的报告发给所有的人。发送给维护者,脚本称之为“supporter:”;另外抄送 | ||
| 564 | 代码最相关的邮件列表,以及 Linux 内核邮件列表(LKML)。在此例中,你需要将报 | ||
| 565 | 告发送给 “Some Human <shuman@example.com>” ,并抄送 | ||
| 566 | “ath10k@lists.infradead.org”和“linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org”。 | ||
| 567 | |||
| 568 | 注意:如果你用 git 克隆了 Linux 源代码,你可能需要用--git 再次调用 | ||
| 569 | get_maintainer.pl。脚本会查看提交历史,以找到最近哪些人参与了相关代码的编写, | ||
| 570 | 因为他们可能会提供帮助。但要小心使用这些结果,因为它很容易让你误入歧途。 | ||
| 571 | 例如,这种情况常常会发生在很少被修改的地方(比如老旧的或未维护的驱动程序): | ||
| 572 | 有时这样的代码会在树级清理期间被根本不关心此驱动程序的开发者修改。 | ||
| 573 | |||
| 574 | |||
| 575 | 搜索现有报告(第二部分) | ||
| 576 | -------------------------- | ||
| 577 | |||
| 578 | *在缺陷追踪器或问题相关邮件列表的存档中彻底搜索可能与您的问题匹配的报告。 | ||
| 579 | 如果找到匹配的报告,请加入讨论而不是发送新报告。* | ||
| 580 | |||
| 581 | 如前所述:报告一个别人已经提出的问题,对每个人来说都是浪费时间,尤其是作为报告 | ||
| 582 | 人的你。这就是为什么你应该再次搜索现有的报告。现在你已经知道问题需要报告到哪里。 | ||
| 583 | 如果是邮件列表,那么一般在 `lore.kernel.org <https://lore.kernel.org/>`_ 可以 | ||
| 584 | 找到相应存档。 | ||
| 585 | |||
| 586 | 但有些列表运行在其他地方。例如前面步骤中当例子的ath10k WiFi驱动程序就是这种 | ||
| 587 | 情况。但是你通常可以在网上很容易地找到这些列表的档案。例如搜索“archive | ||
| 588 | ath10k@lists.infradead.org”,将引导您到ath10k邮件列表的信息页,该页面顶部链接 | ||
| 589 | 到其 `列表存档 <https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/>`_ 。遗憾的是, | ||
| 590 | 这个列表和其他一些列表缺乏搜索其存档的功能。在这种情况下可以使用常规的互联网 | ||
| 591 | 搜索引擎,并添加类似“site:lists.infadead.org/pipermail/ath10k/”这 | ||
| 592 | 样的搜索条件,这会把结果限制在该链接中的档案。 | ||
| 593 | |||
| 594 | 也请进一步搜索网络、LKML和bugzilla.kernel.org网站。 | ||
| 595 | |||
| 596 | 有关如何搜索以及在找到匹配报告时如何操作的详细信息,请参阅上面的“搜索现有报告 | ||
| 597 | (第一部分)”。 | ||
| 598 | |||
| 599 | 不要急着完成报告过程的这一步:花30到60分钟甚至更多的时间可以为你和其他人节省 / | ||
| 600 | 减少相当多的时间和麻烦。 | ||
| 601 | |||
| 602 | |||
| 603 | 安装一个新的内核进行测试 | ||
| 604 | -------------------------- | ||
| 605 | |||
| 606 | *除非您已经在运行最新的“主线”Linux内核,否则最好在报告流程前安装它。在 | ||
| 607 | 某些情况下,使用最新的“稳定版”Linux进行测试和报告也是可以接受的替代方案; | ||
| 608 | 在合并窗口期间,这实际上可能是最好的方法,但在开发阶段最好还是暂停几天。 | ||
| 609 | 无论你选择什么版本,最好使用“普通”构建。忽略这些建议会大大增加您的报告 | ||
| 610 | 被拒绝或忽略的风险。* | ||
| 611 | |||
| 612 | 正如第一步的详细解释中所提到的:与大多数程序员一样,与大多数程序员一样,Linux | ||
| 613 | 内核开发人员不喜欢花时间处理他们维护的源代码中根本不会发生的问题的报告。这只 | ||
| 614 | 会浪费每个人的时间,尤其是你的时间。这就是为什么在报告问题之前,您必须先确认 | ||
| 615 | 问题仍然存在于最新的上游代码中,这符合每个人的利益。您可以忽略此建议,但如前 | ||
| 616 | 所述:这样做会极大地增加问题报告被拒绝或被忽略的风险。 | ||
| 617 | |||
| 618 | 内核“最新上游”的范围通常指: | ||
| 619 | |||
| 620 | * 安装一个主线内核;最新的稳定版内核也可以是一个选择,但大多数时候都最好避免。 | ||
| 621 | 长期支持内核(有时称为“LTS内核”)不适合此流程。下一小节将更详细地解释所有 | ||
| 622 | 这些。 | ||
| 623 | |||
| 624 | * 下一小节描述获取和安装这样一个内核的方法。它还指出了使用预编译内核是可以的, | ||
| 625 | 但普通的内核更好,这意味着:它是直接使用从 `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ | ||
| 626 | 获得的Linux源代码构建并且没有任何方式修改或增强。 | ||
| 627 | |||
| 628 | |||
| 629 | 选择适合测试的版本 | ||
| 630 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 631 | |||
| 632 | 前往 `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ 来决定使用哪个版本。忽略那个写着 | ||
| 633 | “Latest release最新版本”的巨大黄色按钮,往下看有一个表格。在表格的顶部,你会 | ||
| 634 | 看到一行以“mainline”开头的字样,大多数情况下它会指向一个版本号类似“5.8-rc2” | ||
| 635 | 的预发布版本。如果是这样的话,你将需要使用这个主线内核进行测试。不要让“rc” | ||
| 636 | 吓到你,这些“开发版内核”实际上非常可靠——而且你已经按照上面的指示做了备份, | ||
| 637 | 不是吗? | ||
| 638 | |||
| 639 | 大概每九到十周,“mainline”可能会给你指出一个版本号类似“5.7”的正式版本。如果 | ||
| 640 | 碰见这种情况,请考虑暂停报告过程,直到下一个版本的第一个预发布(5.8-rc1)出 | ||
| 641 | 现在 `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ 上。这是因为 Linux 的开发周期正在 | ||
| 642 | 两周的“合并窗口”内。大部分的改动和所有干扰性的改动都会在这段时间内被合并到 | ||
| 643 | 下一个版本中。在此期间使用主线是比较危险的。内核开发者通常也很忙,可能没有 | ||
| 644 | 多余的时间来处理问题报告。这也是很有可能在合并窗口中应用了许多修改来修复你 | ||
| 645 | 所面临的问题;这就是为什么你很快就得用一个新的内核版本重新测试,就像下面“发 | ||
| 646 | 布报告后的责任”一节中所述的那样。 | ||
| 647 | |||
| 648 | 这就是为什么要等到合并窗口结束后才去做。但是如果你处理的是一些不应该等待的 | ||
| 649 | 东西,则无需这样做。在这种情况下,可以考虑通过 git 获取最新的主线内核(见下 | ||
| 650 | 文),或者使用 kernel.org 上提供的最新稳定版本。如果 mainline 因为某些原因 | ||
| 651 | 不无法正常工作,那么使用它也是可以接受的。总的来说:用它来重现问题也比完全 | ||
| 652 | 不报告问题要好。 | ||
| 653 | |||
| 654 | 最好避免在合并窗口外使用最新的稳定版内核,因为所有修复都必须首先应用于主线。 | ||
| 655 | 这就是为什么检查最新的主线内核是如此重要:你希望看到在旧版本线修复的任何问题 | ||
| 656 | 需要先在主线修复,然后才能得到回传,这可能需要几天或几周。另一个原因是:您 | ||
| 657 | 希望的修复对于回传来说可能太难或太冒险;因此再次报告问题不太可能改变任何事情。 | ||
| 658 | |||
| 659 | 这些方面也部分表明了为什么长期支持内核(有时称为“LTS内核”)不适合报告流程: | ||
| 660 | 它们与当前代码的距离太远。因此,先去测试主线,然后再按流程走:如果主线没有 | ||
| 661 | 出现问题,流程将指导您如何在旧版本线中修复它。 | ||
| 662 | |||
| 663 | 如何获得新的 Linux 内核 | ||
| 664 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 665 | |||
| 666 | 你可以使用预编译或自编译的内核进行测试;如果你选择后者,可以使用 git 获取源 | ||
| 667 | 代码,或者下载其 tar 存档包。 | ||
| 668 | |||
| 669 | **使用预编译的内核** :这往往是最快速、最简单、最安全的方法——尤其是在你不熟 | ||
| 670 | 悉 Linux 内核的情况下。问题是:发行商或附加存储库提供的大多数版本都是从修改 | ||
| 671 | 过的Linux源代码构建的。因此它们不是普通的,通常不适合于测试和问题报告:这些 | ||
| 672 | 更改可能会导致您面临的问题或以某种方式影响问题。 | ||
| 673 | |||
| 674 | 但是如果您使用的是流行的Linux发行版,那么您就很幸运了:对于大部分的发行版, | ||
| 675 | 您可以在网上找到包含最新主线或稳定版本Linux内核包的存储库。使用这些是完全可 | ||
| 676 | 以的,只要从存储库的描述中确认它们是普通的或者至少接近普通。此外,请确保软件 | ||
| 677 | 包包含kernel.org上提供的最新版本内核。如果这些软件包的时间超过一周,那么它们 | ||
| 678 | 可能就不合适了,因为新的主线和稳定版内核通常至少每周发布一次。 | ||
| 679 | |||
| 680 | 请注意,您以后可能需要手动构建自己的内核:有时这是调试或测试修复程序所必需的, | ||
| 681 | 如后文所述。还要注意,预编译的内核可能缺少在出现panic、Oops、warning或BUG时 | ||
| 682 | 解码内核打印的消息所需的调试符号;如果您计划解码这些消息,最好自己编译内核 | ||
| 683 | (有关详细信息,请参阅本小节结尾和“解码失败信息”小节)。 | ||
| 684 | |||
| 685 | **使用git** :熟悉 git 的开发者和有经验的 Linux 用户通常最好直接从 | ||
| 686 | `kernel.org 上的官方开发仓库 | ||
| 687 | <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/>`_ | ||
| 688 | 中获取最新的 Linux 内核源代码。这些很可能比最新的主线预发布版本更新一些。不 | ||
| 689 | 用担心:它们和正式的预发布版本一样可靠,除非内核的开发周期目前正处于合并窗 | ||
| 690 | 口中。不过即便如此,它们也是相当可靠的。 | ||
| 691 | |||
| 692 | **常规方法** :不熟悉 git 的人通常最好从 `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ | ||
| 693 | 下载源码的tar 存档包。 | ||
| 694 | |||
| 695 | 如何实际构建一个内核并不在这里描述,因为许多网站已经解释了必要的步骤。如果 | ||
| 696 | 你是新手,可以考虑按照那些建议使用 ``make localmodconfig`` 来做,它将尝试获 | ||
| 697 | 取你当前内核的配置,然后根据你的系统进行一些调整。这样做并不能使编译出来的 | ||
| 698 | 内核更好,但可以更快地编译。 | ||
| 699 | |||
| 700 | 注意:如果您正在处理来自内核的pannc、Oops、warning或BUG,请在配置内核时尝试 | ||
| 701 | 启用 CONFIG_KALLSYMS 选项。此外,还可以启用 CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL 和 | ||
| 702 | CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO;后者是相关选项,但只有启用前者才能开启。请注意, | ||
| 703 | CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO 会需要更多储存空间来构建内核。但这是值得的,因为这些选项将 | ||
| 704 | 允许您稍后精确定位触发问题的确切代码行。下面的“解码失败信息”一节对此进行了更 | ||
| 705 | 详细的解释。 | ||
| 706 | |||
| 707 | 但请记住:始终记录遇到的问题,以防难以重现。发送未解码的报告总比不报告要好。 | ||
| 708 | |||
| 709 | |||
| 710 | 检查“污染”标志 | ||
| 711 | ---------------- | ||
| 712 | |||
| 713 | *确保您刚刚安装的内核在运行时不会“污染”自己。* | ||
| 714 | |||
| 715 | 正如上面已经详细介绍过的:当发生一些可能会导致一些看起来完全不相关的后续错 | ||
| 716 | 误的事情时,内核会设置一个“污染”标志。这就是为什么你需要检查你刚刚安装的内 | ||
| 717 | 核是否有设置此标志。如果有的话,几乎在任何情况下你都需要在报告问题之前先消 | ||
| 718 | 除它。详细的操作方法请看上面的章节。 | ||
| 719 | |||
| 720 | |||
| 721 | 用新内核重现问题 | ||
| 722 | ------------------ | ||
| 723 | |||
| 724 | *在您刚刚安装的内核中复现这个问题。如果它没有出现,请查看下方只发生在 | ||
| 725 | 稳定版和长期支持内核的问题的说明。* | ||
| 726 | |||
| 727 | 检查这个问题是否发生在你刚刚安装的新 Linux 内核版本上。如果新内核已经修复了, | ||
| 728 | 可以考虑使用此版本线,放弃报告问题。但是请记住,只要它没有在 `kernel.org | ||
| 729 | <https://kernel.org/>`_ 的稳定版和长期版(以及由这些版本衍生出来的厂商内核) | ||
| 730 | 中得到修复,其他用户可能仍然会受到它的困扰。如果你喜欢使用其中的一个,或 | ||
| 731 | 者只是想帮助它们的用户,请前往下面的“报告只发生在较旧内核版本线的问题”一节。 | ||
| 732 | |||
| 733 | |||
| 734 | 优化复现问题的描述 | ||
| 735 | -------------------- | ||
| 736 | |||
| 737 | *优化你的笔记:试着找到并写出最直接的复现问题的方法。确保最终结果包含所 | ||
| 738 | 有重要的细节,同时让第一次听说的人容易阅读和理解。如果您在此过程中学到 | ||
| 739 | 了一些东西,请考虑再次搜索关于该问题的现有报告。* | ||
| 740 | |||
| 741 | 过于复杂的报告会让别人很难理解。因此请尽量找到一个可以直接描述、易于以书面 | ||
| 742 | 形式理解的再现方法。包含所有重要的细节,但同时也要尽量保持简短。 | ||
| 743 | |||
| 744 | 在这在前面的步骤中,你很可能已经了解了一些关于你所面临的问题的点。利用这些 | ||
| 745 | 知识,再次搜索可以转而加入的现有报告。 | ||
| 746 | |||
| 747 | |||
| 748 | 解码失败信息 | ||
| 749 | ------------- | ||
| 750 | |||
| 751 | *如果失败涉及“panic”、“Oops”、“warning”或“BUG”,请考虑解码内核日志以查找 | ||
| 752 | 触发错误的代码行。* | ||
| 753 | |||
| 754 | 当内核检测到内部问题时,它会记录一些有关已执行代码的信息。这使得在源代码中精 | ||
| 755 | 确定位触发问题的行并显示如何调用它成为可能。但只有在配置内核时启用了 | ||
| 756 | CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO 和 CONFIG_KALLSYMS选项时,这种方法才起效。如果已启用此选项, | ||
| 757 | 请考虑解码内核日志中的信息。这将使我们更容易理解是什么导致了“panic”、“Oops”、 | ||
| 758 | “warning”或“BUG”,从而增加了有人提供修复的几率。 | ||
| 759 | |||
| 760 | 解码可以通过Linux源代码树中的脚本来完成。如果您运行的内核是之前自己编译的, | ||
| 761 | 这样这样调用它:: | ||
| 762 | |||
| 763 | [user@something ~]$ sudo dmesg | ./linux-5.10.5/scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh ./linux-5.10.5/vmlinux | ||
| 764 | /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.10.10-4.1.x86_64/vmlinux /usr/src/kernels/5.10.10-4.1.x86_64/ | ||
| 765 | |||
| 766 | 如果您运行的是打包好的普通内核,则可能需要安装带有调试符号的相应包。然后按以下 | ||
| 767 | 方式调用脚本(如果发行版未打包,则可能需要从Linux源代码获取):: | ||
| 768 | |||
| 769 | [user@something ~]$ sudo dmesg | ./linux-5.10.5/scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh \ | ||
| 770 | /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.10.10-4.1.x86_64/vmlinux /usr/src/kernels/5.10.10-4.1.x86_64/ | ||
| 771 | |||
| 772 | 脚本将解码如下的日志行,这些日志行显示内核在发生错误时正在执行的代码的地址:: | ||
| 773 | |||
| 774 | [ 68.387301] RIP: 0010:test_module_init+0x5/0xffa [test_module] | ||
| 775 | |||
| 776 | 解码之后,这些行将变成这样:: | ||
| 777 | |||
| 778 | [ 68.387301] RIP: 0010:test_module_init (/home/username/linux-5.10.5/test-module/test-module.c:16) test_module | ||
| 779 | |||
| 780 | 在本例中,执行的代码是从文件“~/linux-5.10.5/test-module/test-module.c”构建的, | ||
| 781 | 错误出现在第16行的指令中。 | ||
| 782 | |||
| 783 | 该脚本也会如此解码以“Call trace”开头的部分中提到的地址,该部分显示出现问题的 | ||
| 784 | 函数的路径。此外,脚本还会显示内核正在执行的代码部分的汇编输出。 | ||
| 785 | |||
| 786 | 注意,如果你没法做到这一点,只需跳过这一步,并在报告中说明原因。如果你幸运的 | ||
| 787 | 话,可能无需解码。如果需要的话,也许有人会帮你做这件事情。还要注意,这只是解 | ||
| 788 | 码内核堆栈跟踪的几种方法之一。有时需要采取不同的步骤来检索相关的详细信息。 | ||
| 789 | 别担心,如果您碰到的情况需要这样做,开发人员会告诉您该怎么做。 | ||
| 790 | |||
| 791 | |||
| 792 | 对回归的特别关照 | ||
| 793 | ----------------- | ||
| 794 | |||
| 795 | *如果您的问题是回归问题,请尽可能缩小引入问题时的范围。* | ||
| 796 | |||
| 797 | Linux 首席开发者 Linus Torvalds 认为 Linux 内核永远不应恶化,这就是为什么他 | ||
| 798 | 认为回归是不可接受的,并希望看到它们被迅速修复。这就是为什么引入了回归的改 | ||
| 799 | 动导致的问题若无法通过其他方式快速解决,通常会被迅速撤销。因此,报告回归有 | ||
| 800 | 点像“王炸”,会迅速得到修复。但要做到这一点,需要知道导致回归的变化。通常情 | ||
| 801 | 况下,要由报告者来追查罪魁祸首,因为维护者往往没有时间或手头设置不便来自行 | ||
| 802 | 重现它。 | ||
| 803 | |||
| 804 | 有一个叫做“二分”的过程可以来寻找变化,这在 | ||
| 805 | “Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/bug-bisect.rst”文档中进行了详细 | ||
| 806 | 的描述,这个过程通常需要你构建十到二十个内核镜像,每次都尝试在构建下一个镜像 | ||
| 807 | 之前重现问题。是的,这需要花费一些时间,但不用担心,它比大多数人想象的要快得多。 | ||
| 808 | 多亏了“binary search二进制搜索”,这将引导你在源代码管理系统中找到导致回归的提交。 | ||
| 809 | 一旦你找到它,就在网上搜索其主题、提交ID和缩短的提交ID(提交ID的前12个字符)。 | ||
| 810 | 如果有的话,这将引导您找到关于它的现有报告。 | ||
| 811 | |||
| 812 | 需要注意的是,二分法需要一点窍门,不是每个人都懂得诀窍,也需要相当多的努力, | ||
| 813 | 不是每个人都愿意投入。尽管如此,还是强烈建议自己进行一次二分。如果你真的 | ||
| 814 | 不能或者不想走这条路,至少要找出是哪个主线内核引入的回归。比如说从 5.5.15 | ||
| 815 | 切换到 5.8.4 的时候出现了一些问题,那么至少可以尝试一下相近的所有的主线版本 | ||
| 816 | (5.6、5.7 和 5.8)来检查它是什么时候出现的。除非你想在一个稳定版或长期支持 | ||
| 817 | 内核中找到一个回归,否则要避免测试那些编号有三段的版本(5.6.12、5.7.8),因 | ||
| 818 | 为那会使结果难以解释,可能会让你的测试变得无用。一旦你找到了引入回归的主要 | ||
| 819 | 版本,就可以放心地继续报告了。但请记住:在不知道罪魁祸首的情况下,开发人员 | ||
| 820 | 是否能够提供帮助取决于手头的问题。有时他们可能会从报告中确认是什么出现了问 | ||
| 821 | 题,并能修复它;有时他们可能无法提供帮助,除非你进行二分。 | ||
| 822 | |||
| 823 | 当处理回归问题时,请确保你所面临的问题真的是由内核引起的,而不是由其他东西 | ||
| 824 | 引起的,如上文所述。 | ||
| 825 | |||
| 826 | 在整个过程中,请记住:只有当旧内核和新内核的配置相似时,问题才算回归。最好 | ||
| 827 | 的方法是:把配置文件(``.config``)从旧的工作内核直接复制到你尝试的每个新内 | ||
| 828 | 核版本。之后运行 ``make oldnoconfig`` 来调整它以适应新版本的需要,而不启用 | ||
| 829 | 任何新的功能,因为那些功能也可能导致回归。 | ||
| 830 | |||
| 831 | |||
| 832 | 撰写并发送报告 | ||
| 833 | --------------- | ||
| 834 | |||
| 835 | *通过详细描述问题来开始编写报告。记得包括以下条目:您为复现而安装的最新 | ||
| 836 | 内核版本、使用的Linux发行版以及关于如何复现该问题的说明。如果可能,将内 | ||
| 837 | 核构建配置(.config)和 ``dmesg`` 的输出放在网上的某个地方,并链接到它。 | ||
| 838 | 包含或上传所有其他可能相关的信息,如Oops的输出/截图或来自 ``lspci`` | ||
| 839 | 的输出。一旦你写完了这个主要部分,请在上方插入一个正常长度的段落快速概 | ||
| 840 | 述问题和影响。再在此之上添加一个简单描述问题的句子,以得到人们的阅读。 | ||
| 841 | 现在给出一个更短的描述性标题或主题。然后就可以像MAINTAINERS文件告诉你的 | ||
| 842 | 那样发送或提交报告了,除非你在处理一个“高优先级问题”:它们需要按照下面 | ||
| 843 | “高优先级问题的特殊处理”所述特别关照。* | ||
| 844 | |||
| 845 | 现在你已经准备好了一切,是时候写你的报告了。上文前言中链接的三篇文档对如何 | ||
| 846 | 写报告做了部分解释。这就是为什么本文将只提到一些基本的内容以及 Linux 内核特 | ||
| 847 | 有的东西。 | ||
| 848 | |||
| 849 | 有一点是符合这两类的:你的报告中最关键的部分是标题/主题、第一句话和第一段。 | ||
| 850 | 开发者经常会收到许多邮件。因此,他们往往只是花几秒钟的时间浏览一下邮件,然 | ||
| 851 | 后再决定继续下一封或仔细查看。因此,你报告的开头越好,有人研究并帮助你的机 | ||
| 852 | 会就越大。这就是为什么你应该暂时忽略他们,先写出详细的报告。;-) | ||
| 853 | |||
| 854 | 每份报告都应提及的事项 | ||
| 855 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 856 | |||
| 857 | 详细描述你的问题是如何发生在你安装的新纯净内核上的。试着包含你之前写的和优 | ||
| 858 | 化过的分步说明,概述你和其他人如何重现这个问题;在极少数无法重现的情况下, | ||
| 859 | 尽量描述你做了什么来触发它。 | ||
| 860 | |||
| 861 | 还应包括其他人为了解该问题及其环境而可能需要的所有相关信息。实际需要的东西 | ||
| 862 | 在很大程度上取决于具体问题,但有些事项你总是应该包括在内: | ||
| 863 | |||
| 864 | * ``cat /proc/version`` 的输出,其中包含 Linux 内核版本号和构建时的编译器。 | ||
| 865 | |||
| 866 | * 机器正在运行的 Linux 发行版( ``hostnamectl | grep “Operating System“`` ) | ||
| 867 | |||
| 868 | * CPU 和操作系统的架构( ``uname -mi`` ) | ||
| 869 | |||
| 870 | * 如果您正在处理回归,并进行了二分,请提及导致回归的变更的主题和提交ID。 | ||
| 871 | |||
| 872 | 许多情况下,让读你报告的人多了解两件事也是明智之举: | ||
| 873 | |||
| 874 | * 用于构建 Linux 内核的配置(“.config”文件) | ||
| 875 | |||
| 876 | * 内核的信息,你从 ``dmesg`` 得到的信息写到一个文件里。确保它以像“Linux | ||
| 877 | version 5.8-1 (foobar@example.com) (gcc (GCC) 10.2.1, GNU ld version | ||
| 878 | 2.34) #1 SMP Mon Aug 3 14:54:37 UTC 2020”这样的行开始,如果没有,那么第 | ||
| 879 | 一次启动阶段的重要信息已经被丢弃了。在这种情况下,可以考虑使用 | ||
| 880 | ``journalctl -b 0 -k`` ;或者你也可以重启,重现这个问题,然后调用 | ||
| 881 | ``dmesg`` 。 | ||
| 882 | |||
| 883 | 这两个文件很大,所以直接把它们放到你的报告中是个坏主意。如果你是在缺陷跟踪 | ||
| 884 | 器中提交问题,那么将它们附加到工单中。如果你通过邮件报告问题,不要用附件附 | ||
| 885 | 上它们,因为那会使邮件变得太大,可以按下列之一做: | ||
| 886 | |||
| 887 | * 将文件上传到某个公开的地方(你的网站,公共文件粘贴服务,在 | ||
| 888 | `bugzilla.kernel.org <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/>`_ 上创建的工单……), | ||
| 889 | 并在你的报告中放上链接。理想情况下请使用允许这些文件保存很多年的地方,因 | ||
| 890 | 为它们可能在很多年后对别人有用;例如 5 年或 10 年后,一个开发者正在修改 | ||
| 891 | 一些代码,而这些代码正是为了修复你的问题。 | ||
| 892 | |||
| 893 | * 把文件放在一边,然后说明你会在他人回复时再单独发送。只要记得报告发出去后, | ||
| 894 | 真正做到这一点就可以了。;-) | ||
| 895 | |||
| 896 | 提供这些东西可能是明智的 | ||
| 897 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 898 | |||
| 899 | 根据问题的不同,你可能需要提供更多的背景数据。这里有一些关于提供什么比较好 | ||
| 900 | 的建议: | ||
| 901 | |||
| 902 | * 如果你处理的是内核的“warning”、“OOPS”或“panic”,请包含它。如果你不能复制 | ||
| 903 | 粘贴它,试着用netconsole网络终端远程跟踪或者至少拍一张屏幕的照片。 | ||
| 904 | |||
| 905 | * 如果问题可能与你的电脑硬件有关,请说明你使用的是什么系统。例如,如果你的 | ||
| 906 | 显卡有问题,请提及它的制造商,显卡的型号,以及使用的芯片。如果是笔记本电 | ||
| 907 | 脑,请提及它的型号名称,但尽量确保意义明确。例如“戴尔 XPS 13”就不很明确, | ||
| 908 | 因为它可能是 2012 年的那款,那款除了看起来和现在销售的没有什么不同之外, | ||
| 909 | 两者没有任何共同之处。因此,在这种情况下,要加上准确的型号,例如 2019 | ||
| 910 | 年内推出的 XPS 13 型号为“9380”或“7390”。像“联想 Thinkpad T590”这样的名字 | ||
| 911 | 也有些含糊不清:这款笔记本有带独立显卡和不带的子型号,所以要尽量找到准确 | ||
| 912 | 的型号名称或注明主要部件。 | ||
| 913 | |||
| 914 | * 说明正在使用的相关软件。如果你在加载模块时遇到了问题,你要说明正在使用的 | ||
| 915 | kmod、systemd 和 udev 的版本。如果其中一个 DRM 驱动出现问题,你要说明 | ||
| 916 | libdrm 和 Mesa 的版本;还要说明你的 Wayland 合成器或 X-Server 及其驱动。 | ||
| 917 | 如果你有文件系统问题,请注明相应的文件系统实用程序的版本(e2fsprogs, | ||
| 918 | btrfs-progs, xfsprogs……)。 | ||
| 919 | |||
| 920 | * 从内核中收集可能有用的额外信息。例如, ``lspci -nn`` 的输出可以帮助别人 | ||
| 921 | 识别你使用的硬件。如果你的硬件有问题,你甚至可以给出 ``sudo lspci -vvv`` | ||
| 922 | 的结果,因为它提供了组件是如何配置的信息。对于一些问题,可能最好包含 | ||
| 923 | ``/proc/cpuinfo`` , ``/proc/ioports`` , ``/proc/iomem`` , | ||
| 924 | ``/proc/modules`` 或 ``/proc/scsi/scsi`` 等文件的内容。一些子系统还提 | ||
| 925 | 供了收集相关信息的工具。 ``alsa-info.sh`` `就是这样一个工具,它是音频/声 | ||
| 926 | 音子系统开发者提供的 <https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/AlsaInfo>`_ 。 | ||
| 927 | |||
| 928 | 这些例子应该会给你一些知识点,让你知道附上什么数据可能是明智的,但你自己也 | ||
| 929 | 要想一想,哪些数据对别人会有帮助。不要太担心忘记一些东西,因为开发人员会要 | ||
| 930 | 求提供他们需要的额外细节。但从一开始就把所有重要的东西都提供出来,会增加别 | ||
| 931 | 人仔细查看的机会。 | ||
| 932 | |||
| 933 | |||
| 934 | 重要部分:报告的开头 | ||
| 935 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 936 | |||
| 937 | 现在你已经准备好了报告的详细部分,让我们进入最重要的部分:开头几句。现在到 | ||
| 938 | 报告的最前面,在你刚才写的部分之前加上类似“The detailed description:”(详细 | ||
| 939 | 描述)这样的内容,并在最前面插入两个新行。现在写一个正常长度的段落,大致概 | ||
| 940 | 述这个问题。去掉所有枯燥的细节,把重点放在读者需要知道的关键部分,以让人了 | ||
| 941 | 解这是怎么回事;如果你认为这个缺陷影响了很多用户,就提一下这点来吸引大家关 | ||
| 942 | 注。 | ||
| 943 | |||
| 944 | 做好这一点后,在顶部再插入两行,写一句话的摘要,快速解释报告的内容。之后你 | ||
| 945 | 要更加抽象,为报告写一个更短的主题/标题。 | ||
| 946 | |||
| 947 | 现在你已经写好了这部分,请花点时间来优化它,因为它是你的报告中最重要的部分: | ||
| 948 | 很多人会先读这部分,然后才会决定是否值得花时间阅读其他部分。 | ||
| 949 | |||
| 950 | 现在就像 :ref:`MAINTAINERS <maintainers>` 维护者文件告诉你的那样发送或提交 | ||
| 951 | 报告,除非它是前面概述的那些“高优先级问题”之一:在这种情况下,请先阅读下一 | ||
| 952 | 小节,然后再发送报告。 | ||
| 953 | |||
| 954 | 高优先级问题的特殊处理 | ||
| 955 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 956 | |||
| 957 | 高优先级问题的报告需要特殊处理。 | ||
| 958 | |||
| 959 | **非常严重的缺陷** :确保在主题或工单标题以及第一段中明显标出 severeness | ||
| 960 | (非常严重的)。 | ||
| 961 | |||
| 962 | **回归** :如果问题是一个回归,请在邮件的主题或缺陷跟踪器的标题中添加 | ||
| 963 | [REGRESSION]。如果您没有进行二分,请至少注明您测试的最新主线版本(比如 5.7) | ||
| 964 | 和出现问题的最新版本(比如 5.8)。如果您成功地进行了二分,请注明导致回归 | ||
| 965 | 的提交ID和主题。也请添加该变更的作者到你的报告中;如果您需要将您的缺陷提交 | ||
| 966 | 到缺陷跟踪器中,请将报告以私人邮件的形式转发给他,并注明报告提交地点。 | ||
| 967 | |||
| 968 | **安全问题** :对于这种问题,你将必须评估:如果细节被公开披露,是否会对其他 | ||
| 969 | 用户产生短期风险。如果不会,只需按照所述继续报告问题。如果有此风险,你需要 | ||
| 970 | 稍微调整一下报告流程。 | ||
| 971 | |||
| 972 | * 如果 MAINTAINERS 文件指示您通过邮件报告问题,请不要抄送任何公共邮件列表。 | ||
| 973 | |||
| 974 | * 如果你应该在缺陷跟踪器中提交问题,请确保将工单标记为“私有”或“安全问题”。 | ||
| 975 | 如果缺陷跟踪器没有提供保持报告私密性的方法,那就别想了,把你的报告以私人 | ||
| 976 | 邮件的形式发送给维护者吧。 | ||
| 977 | |||
| 978 | 在这两种情况下,都一定要将报告发到 MAINTAINERS 文件中“安全联络”部分列出的 | ||
| 979 | 地址。理想的情况是在发送报告的时候直接抄送他们。如果您在缺陷跟踪器中提交了 | ||
| 980 | 报告,请将报告的文本转发到这些地址;但请在报告的顶部加上注释,表明您提交了 | ||
| 981 | 报告,并附上工单链接。 | ||
| 982 | |||
| 983 | 更多信息请参见“Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst”。 | ||
| 984 | |||
| 985 | |||
| 986 | 发布报告后的责任 | ||
| 987 | ------------------ | ||
| 988 | |||
| 989 | *等待别人的反应,继续推进事情,直到你能够接受这样或那样的结果。因此,请 | ||
| 990 | 公开和及时地回应任何询问。测试提出的修复。积极地测试:至少重新测试每个 | ||
| 991 | 新主线版本的首个候选版本(RC),并报告你的结果。如果出现拖延,就友好地 | ||
| 992 | 提醒一下。如果你没有得到任何帮助或者未能满意,请试着自己帮助自己。* | ||
| 993 | |||
| 994 | 如果你的报告非常优秀,而且你真的很幸运,那么某个开发者可能会立即发现导致问 | ||
| 995 | 题的原因;然后他们可能会写一个补丁来修复、测试它,并直接发送给主线集成,同 | ||
| 996 | 时标记它以便以后回溯到需要它的稳定版和长期支持内核。那么你需要做的就是回复 | ||
| 997 | 一句“Thank you very much”(非常感谢),然后在发布后换上修复好的版本。 | ||
| 998 | |||
| 999 | 但这种理想状况很少发生。这就是为什么你把报告拿出来之后工作才开始。你要做的 | ||
| 1000 | 事情要视情况而定,但通常会是下面列出的事情。但在深入研究细节之前,这里有几 | ||
| 1001 | 件重要的事情,你需要记住这部分的过程。 | ||
| 1002 | |||
| 1003 | |||
| 1004 | 关于进一步互动的一般建议 | ||
| 1005 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1006 | |||
| 1007 | **总是公开回复** :当你在缺陷跟踪器中提交问题时,一定要在那里回复,不要私下 | ||
| 1008 | 联系任何开发者。对于邮件报告,在回复您收到的任何邮件时,总是使用“全部回复” | ||
| 1009 | 功能。这包括带有任何你可能想要添加到你的报告中的额外数据的邮件:进入邮件应 | ||
| 1010 | 用程序“已发送”文件夹,并在邮件上使用“全部回复”来回复报告。这种方法可以确保 | ||
| 1011 | 公共邮件列表和其他所有参与者都能及时了解情况;它还能保持邮件线程的完整性, | ||
| 1012 | 这对于邮件列表将所有相关邮件归为一类是非常重要的。 | ||
| 1013 | |||
| 1014 | 只有两种情况不适合在缺陷跟踪器或“全部回复”中发表评论: | ||
| 1015 | |||
| 1016 | * 有人让你私下发东西。 | ||
| 1017 | |||
| 1018 | * 你被告知要发送一些东西,但注意到其中包含需要保密的敏感信息。在这种情况下, | ||
| 1019 | 可以私下发送给要求发送的开发者。但要在工单或邮件中注明你是这么做的,这 | ||
| 1020 | 样其他人就知道你尊重了这个要求。 | ||
| 1021 | |||
| 1022 | **在请求解释或帮助之前先研究一下** :在这部分过程中,有人可能会告诉你用尚未 | ||
| 1023 | 掌握的技能做一些事情。例如你可能会被要求使用一些你从未听说过的测试工具;或 | ||
| 1024 | 者你可能会被要求在 Linux 内核源代码上应用一个补丁来测试它是否有帮助。在某些 | ||
| 1025 | 情况下,发个回复询问如何做就可以了。但在走这条路之前,尽量通过在互联网上搜 | ||
| 1026 | 索自行找到答案;或者考虑在其他地方询问建议。比如询问朋友,或者到你平时常去 | ||
| 1027 | 的聊天室或论坛发帖咨询。 | ||
| 1028 | |||
| 1029 | **要有耐心** :如果你真的很幸运,你可能会在几个小时内收到对你的报告的答复。 | ||
| 1030 | 但大多数情况下会花费更多的时间,因为维护者分散在全球各地,因此可能在不同的 | ||
| 1031 | 时区——在那里他们已经享受着远离键盘的夜晚。 | ||
| 1032 | |||
| 1033 | 一般来说,内核开发者需要一到五个工作日来回复报告。有时会花费更长的时间,因 | ||
| 1034 | 为他们可能正忙于合并窗口、其他工作、参加开发者会议,或者只是在享受一个漫长 | ||
| 1035 | 的暑假。 | ||
| 1036 | |||
| 1037 | “高优先级的问题”(见上面的解释)例外:维护者应该尽快解决这些问题;这就是为 | ||
| 1038 | 什么你应该最多等待一个星期(如果是紧急的事情,则只需两天),然后再发送友好 | ||
| 1039 | 的提醒。 | ||
| 1040 | |||
| 1041 | 有时维护者可能没有及时回复;有时候可能会出现分歧,例如一个问题是否符合回归 | ||
| 1042 | 的条件。在这种情况下,在邮件列表上提出你的顾虑,并请求其他人公开或私下回复 | ||
| 1043 | 如何继续推进。如果失败了,可能应该让更高级别的维护者介入。如果是 WiFi 驱动, | ||
| 1044 | 那就是无线维护者;如果没有更高级别的维护者,或者其他一切努力都失败了,那 | ||
| 1045 | 这可能是一种罕见的、可以让 Linus Torvalds 参与进来的情况。 | ||
| 1046 | |||
| 1047 | **主动测试** :每当一个新的主线内核版本的第一个预发布版本(rc1)发布的时候, | ||
| 1048 | 去检查一下这个问题是否得到了解决,或者是否有什么重要的变化。在工单中或在 | ||
| 1049 | 回复报告的邮件中提及结果(确保所有参与讨论的人都被抄送)。这将表明你的承诺 | ||
| 1050 | 和你愿意帮忙。如果问题持续存在,它也会提醒开发者确保他们不会忘记它。其他一 | ||
| 1051 | 些不定期的重新测试(例如用rc3、rc5 和最终版本)也是一个好主意,但只有在相关 | ||
| 1052 | 的东西发生变化或者你正在写什么东西的时候才报告你的结果。 | ||
| 1053 | |||
| 1054 | 这些些常规的事情就不说了,我们来谈谈报告后如何帮助解决问题的细节。 | ||
| 1055 | |||
| 1056 | 查询和测试请求 | ||
| 1057 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1058 | |||
| 1059 | 如果你的报告得到了回复则需履行以下责任: | ||
| 1060 | |||
| 1061 | **检查与你打交道的人** :大多数情况下,会是维护者或特定代码区域的开发人员对 | ||
| 1062 | 你的报告做出回应。但由于问题通常是公开报告的,所以回复的可能是任何人——包括 | ||
| 1063 | 那些想要帮忙的人,但最后可能会用他们的问题或请求引导你完全偏离轨道。这很少 | ||
| 1064 | 发生,但这是快速上网搜搜看你正在与谁互动是明智之举的许多原因之一。通过这样 | ||
| 1065 | 做,你也可以知道你的报告是否被正确的人听到,因为如果讨论没有导致满意的问题 | ||
| 1066 | 解决方案而淡出,之后可能需要提醒维护者(见下文)。 | ||
| 1067 | |||
| 1068 | **查询数据** :通常你会被要求测试一些东西或提供更多细节。尽快提供所要求的信 | ||
| 1069 | 息,因为你已经得到了可能会帮助你的人的注意,你等待的时间越长就有越可能失去 | ||
| 1070 | 关注;如果你不在数个工作日内提供信息,甚至可能出现这种结果。 | ||
| 1071 | |||
| 1072 | **测试请求** :当你被要求测试一个诊断补丁或可能的修复时,也要尽量及时测试。 | ||
| 1073 | 但要做得恰当,一定不要急于求成:混淆事情很容易发生,这会给所有人带来许多困 | ||
| 1074 | 惑。例如一个常见的错误是以为应用了一个带修复的建议补丁,但事实上并没有。即 | ||
| 1075 | 使是有经验的测试人员也会偶尔发生这样的事情,但当有修复的内核和没有修复的内 | ||
| 1076 | 核表现得一样时,他们大多时候会注意到。 | ||
| 1077 | |||
| 1078 | 当没有任何实质性进展时该怎么办 | ||
| 1079 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1080 | |||
| 1081 | 有些报告不会得到负有相关责任的 Linux 内核开发者的任何反应;或者围绕这个问题 | ||
| 1082 | 的讨论有所发展,但渐渐淡出,没有任何实质内容产出。 | ||
| 1083 | |||
| 1084 | 在这种情况下,要等两个星期(最好是三个星期)后再发出友好的提醒:也许当你的 | ||
| 1085 | 报告到达时,维护者刚刚离开键盘一段时间,或者有更重要的事情要处理。在写提醒 | ||
| 1086 | 信的时候,要善意地问一下,是否还需要你这边提供什么来让事情推进下去。如果报 | ||
| 1087 | 告是通过邮件发出来的,那就在邮件的第一行回复你的初始邮件(见上文),其中包 | ||
| 1088 | 括下方的原始报告的完整引用:这是少数几种情况下,这样的“TOFU”(Text Over, | ||
| 1089 | Fullquote Under文字在上,完整引用在下)是正确的做法,因为这样所有的收件人都 | ||
| 1090 | 会以适当的顺序立即让细节到手头上来。 | ||
| 1091 | |||
| 1092 | 在提醒之后,再等三周的回复。如果你仍然没有得到适当的反馈,你首先应该重新考 | ||
| 1093 | 虑你的方法。你是否可能尝试接触了错误的人?是不是报告也许令人反感或者太混乱, | ||
| 1094 | 以至于人们决定完全远离它?排除这些因素的最好方法是:把报告给一两个熟悉 | ||
| 1095 | FLOSS 问题报告的人看,询问他们的意见。同时征求他们关于如何继续推进的建议。 | ||
| 1096 | 这可能意味着:准备一份更好的报告,让这些人在你发出去之前对它进行审查。这样 | ||
| 1097 | 的方法完全可以;只需说明这是关于这个问题的第二份改进的报告,并附上第一份报 | ||
| 1098 | 告的链接。 | ||
| 1099 | |||
| 1100 | 如果报告是恰当的,你可以发送第二封提醒信;在其中询问为什么报告没有得到任何 | ||
| 1101 | 回复。第二封提醒邮件的好时机是在新 Linux 内核版本的首个预发布版本('rc1') | ||
| 1102 | 发布后不久,因为无论如何你都应该在那个时候重新测试并提供状态更新(见上文)。 | ||
| 1103 | |||
| 1104 | 如果第二次提醒的结果又在一周内没有任何反应,可以尝试联系上级维护者询问意见: | ||
| 1105 | 即使再忙的维护者在这时候也至少应该发过某种确认。 | ||
| 1106 | |||
| 1107 | 记住要做好失望的准备:理想状况下维护者最好对每一个问题报告做出回应,但他们 | ||
| 1108 | 只有义务解决之前列出的“高优先级问题”。所以,如果你得到的回复是“谢谢你的报告, | ||
| 1109 | 我目前有更重要的问题要处理,在可预见的未来没有时间去研究这个问题”,那请不 | ||
| 1110 | 要太沮丧。 | ||
| 1111 | |||
| 1112 | 也有可能在缺陷跟踪器或列表中进行了一些讨论之后,什么都没有发生,提醒也无助 | ||
| 1113 | 于激励大家进行修复。这种情况可能是毁灭性的,但在 Linux 内核开发中确实会发生。 | ||
| 1114 | 这些和其他得不到帮助的原因在本文结尾处的“为什么有些问题在被报告后没有得到 | ||
| 1115 | 任何回应或者仍然没有修复”中进行了解释。 | ||
| 1116 | |||
| 1117 | 如果你没有得到任何帮助或问题最终没有得到解决,不要沮丧:Linux 内核是 FLOSS, | ||
| 1118 | 因此你仍然可以自己帮助自己。例如,你可以试着找到其他受影响的人,和他们一 | ||
| 1119 | 起合作来解决这个问题。这样的团队可以一起准备一份新的报告,提到团队有多少人, | ||
| 1120 | 为什么你们认为这是应该得到解决的事情。也许你们还可以一起缩小确切原因或引 | ||
| 1121 | 入回归的变化,这往往会使修复更容易。而且如果运气好的话,团队中可能会有懂点 | ||
| 1122 | 编程的人,也许能写出一个修复方案。 | ||

| 1126 | “报告稳定版和长期支持内核线的回归”的参考 | ||
| 1127 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
| 1128 | |||
| 1129 | 本小节提供了在稳定版和长期支持内核线中面对回归时需要执行的步骤的详细信息。 | ||
| 1130 | |||
| 1131 | 确保特定版本线仍然受支持 | ||
| 1132 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1133 | |||
| 1134 | *检查内核开发人员是否仍然维护你关心的Linux内核版本线:去 kernel.org 的 | ||
| 1135 | 首页,确保此特定版本线的最新版没有“[EOL]”标记。* | ||
| 1136 | |||
| 1137 | 大多数内核版本线只支持三个月左右,因为延长维护时间会带来相当多的工作。因此, | ||
| 1138 | 每年只会选择一个版本来支持至少两年(通常是六年)。这就是为什么你需要检查 | ||
| 1139 | 内核开发者是否还支持你关心的版本线。 | ||
| 1140 | |||
| 1141 | 注意,如果 `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ 在首页上列出了两个“稳定”版本, | ||
| 1142 | 你应该考虑切换到较新的版本,而忘掉较旧的版本:对它的支持可能很快就会结束。 | ||
| 1143 | 然后,它将被标记为“生命周期结束”(EOL)。达到这个程度的版本线仍然会在 | ||
| 1144 | `kernel.org <https://kernel.org/>`_ 首页上被显示一两周,但不适合用于测试和 | ||
| 1145 | 报告。 | ||
| 1146 | |||
| 1147 | 搜索稳定版邮件列表 | ||
| 1148 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1149 | |||
| 1150 | *检查Linux稳定版邮件列表中的现有报告。* | ||
| 1151 | |||
| 1152 | 也许你所面临的问题已经被发现,并且已经或即将被修复。因此,请在 `Linux 稳定 | ||
| 1153 | 版邮件列表的档案 <https://lore.kernel.org/stable/>`_ 中搜索类似问题的报告。 | ||
| 1154 | 如果你找到任何匹配的问题,可以考虑加入讨论,除非修复工作已经完成并计划很快 | ||
| 1155 | 得到应用。 | ||
| 1156 | |||
| 1157 | 用最新版本复现问题 | ||
| 1158 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1159 | |||
| 1160 | *从特定的版本线安装最新版本作为纯净内核。确保这个内核没有被污染,并且仍 | ||
| 1161 | 然存在问题,因为问题可能已经在那里被修复了。* | ||
| 1162 | |||
| 1163 | 在投入更多时间到这个过程中之前,你要检查这个问题是否在你关注的版本线的最新 | ||
| 1164 | 版本中已经得到了修复。这个内核需要是纯净的,在问题发生之前不应该被污染,正 | ||
| 1165 | 如上面已经在测试主线的过程中详细介绍过的一样。 | ||
| 1166 | |||
| 1167 | 您是否是第一次注意到供应商内核的回归?供应商的更改可能会发生变化。你需要重新 | ||
| 1168 | 检查排除来这个问题。当您从5.10.4-vendor.42更新到5.10.5-vendor.43时,记录损坏 | ||
| 1169 | 的信息。然后在测试了前一段中所述的最新5.10版本之后,检查Linux 5.10.4的普通版本 | ||
| 1170 | 是否也可以正常工作。如果问题在那里出现,那就不符合上游回归的条件,您需要切换 | ||
| 1171 | 回主逐步指南来报告问题。 | ||
| 1172 | |||
| 1173 | 报告回归 | ||
| 1174 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1175 | |||
| 1176 | *向Linux稳定版邮件列表发送一个简短的问题报告(stable@vger.kernel.org)。 | ||
| 1177 | 大致描述问题,并解释如何复现。讲清楚首个出现问题的版本和最后一个工作正常 | ||
| 1178 | 的版本。然后等待进一步的指示。* | ||
| 1179 | |||
| 1180 | 当报告在稳定版或长期支持内核线内发生的回归(例如在从5.10.4更新到5.10.5时), | ||
| 1181 | 一份简短的报告足以快速报告问题。因此只需要粗略的描述。 | ||
| 1182 | |||
| 1183 | 但是请注意,如果您能够指明引入问题的确切版本,这将对开发人员有很大帮助。因此 | ||
| 1184 | 如果有时间的话,请尝试使用普通内核找到该版本。让我们假设发行版发布Linux内核 | ||
| 1185 | 5.10.5到5.10.8的更新时发生了故障。那么按照上面的指示,去检查该版本线中的最新 | ||
| 1186 | 内核,比如5.10.9。如果问题出现,请尝试普通5.10.5,以确保供应商应用的补丁不会 | ||
| 1187 | 干扰。如果问题没有出现,那么尝试5.10.7,然后直到5.10.8或5.10.6(取决于结果) | ||
| 1188 | 找到第一个引入问题的版本。在报告中写明这一点,并指出5.10.9仍然存在故障。 | ||
| 1189 | |||
| 1190 | 前一段基本粗略地概述了“二分”方法。一旦报告出来,您可能会被要求做一个正确的 | ||
| 1191 | 报告,因为它允许精确地定位导致问题的确切更改(然后很容易被恢复以快速修复问题)。 | ||
| 1192 | 因此如果时间允许,考虑立即进行适当的二分。有关如何详细信息,请参阅“对回归的 | ||
| 1193 | 特别关照”部分和文档“Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/bug-bisect.rst”。 | ||
| 1194 | |||
| 1195 | |||
| 1196 | “报告仅在旧内核版本线中发生的问题”的参考 | ||
| 1197 | ---------------------------------------- | ||
| 1198 | |||
| 1199 | 本节详细介绍了如果无法用主线内核重现问题,但希望在旧版本线(又称稳定版内核和 | ||
| 1200 | 长期支持内核)中修复问题时需要采取的步骤。 | ||
| 1201 | |||
| 1202 | 有些修复太复杂 | ||
| 1203 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1204 | |||
| 1205 | *请做好准备,接下来的几个步骤可能无法在旧版本中解决问题:修复可能太大或 | ||
| 1206 | 太冒险,无法移植到那里。* | ||
| 1207 | |||
| 1208 | 即使是微小的、看似明显的代码变化,有时也会带来新的、完全意想不到的问题。稳 | ||
| 1209 | 定版和长期支持内核的维护者非常清楚这一点,因此他们只对这些内核进行符合 | ||
| 1210 | “Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst”中所列出的 | ||
| 1211 | 规则的修改。 | ||
| 1212 | |||
| 1213 | 复杂或有风险的修改不符合条件,因此只能应用于主线。其他的修复很容易被回溯到 | ||
| 1214 | 最新的稳定版和长期支持内核,但是风险太大,无法集成到旧版内核中。所以要注意 | ||
| 1215 | 你所希望的修复可能是那些不会被回溯到你所关心的版本线的修复之一。在这种情况 | ||
| 1216 | 下,你将别无选择,要么忍受这个问题,要么切换到一个较新的 Linux 版本,除非你 | ||
| 1217 | 想自己把修复补丁应用到你的内核中。 | ||
| 1218 | |||
| 1219 | 通用准备 | ||
| 1220 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1221 | |||
| 1222 | *执行上面“报告仅在旧内核版本线中发生的问题”一节中的前三个步骤。* | ||
| 1223 | |||
| 1224 | 您需要执行本指南另一节中已经描述的几个步骤。这些步骤将让您: | ||
| 1225 | |||
| 1226 | * 检查内核开发人员是否仍然维护您关心的Linux内核版本行。 | ||
| 1227 | |||
| 1228 | * 在Linux稳定邮件列表中搜索退出的报告。 | ||
| 1229 | |||
| 1230 | * 检查最新版本。 | ||
| 1231 | |||
| 1232 | |||
| 1233 | 检查代码历史和搜索现有的讨论 | ||
| 1234 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1235 | |||
| 1236 | *在Linux内核版本控制系统中搜索修复主线问题的更改,因为它的提交消息可能 | ||
| 1237 | 会告诉你修复是否已经计划好了支持。如果你没有找到,搜索适当的邮件列表, | ||
| 1238 | 寻找讨论此类问题或同行评议可能修复的帖子;然后检查讨论是否认为修复不适 | ||
| 1239 | 合支持。如果支持根本不被考虑,加入最新的讨论,询问是否有可能。* | ||
| 1240 | |||
| 1241 | 在许多情况下,你所处理的问题会发生在主线上,但已在主线上得到了解决。修正它 | ||
| 1242 | 的提交也需要被回溯才能解决这个问题。这就是为什么你要搜索它或任何相关讨论。 | ||
| 1243 | |||
| 1244 | * 首先尝试在存放 Linux 内核源代码的 Git 仓库中找到修复。你可以通过 | ||
| 1245 | `kernel.org 上的网页 | ||
| 1246 | <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/>`_ | ||
| 1247 | 或 `GitHub 上的镜像 <https://github.com/torvalds/linux>`_ 来实现;如果你 | ||
| 1248 | 有一个本地克隆,你也可以在命令行用 ``git log --grep=<pattern>`` 来搜索。 | ||
| 1249 | |||
| 1250 | 如果你找到了修复,请查看提交消息的尾部是否包含了类似这样的“稳定版标签”: | ||
| 1251 | |||
| 1252 | Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.4+ | ||
| 1253 | |||
| 1254 | 像上面这行,开发者标记了安全修复可以回传到 5.4 及以后的版本。大多数情况 | ||
| 1255 | 下,它会在两周内被应用到那里,但有时需要更长的时间。 | ||
| 1256 | |||
| 1257 | * 如果提交没有告诉你任何东西,或者你找不到修复,请再找找关于这个问题的讨论。 | ||
| 1258 | 用你最喜欢的搜索引擎搜索网络,以及 `Linux kernel developers mailing | ||
| 1259 | list 内核开发者邮件列表 <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/>`_ 的档案。也可以 | ||
| 1260 | 阅读上面的 `定位导致问题的内核区域` 一节,然后按照说明找到导致问题的子系 | ||
| 1261 | 统:它的缺陷跟踪器或邮件列表存档中可能有你要找的答案。 | ||
| 1262 | |||
| 1263 | * 如果你看到了一个计划的修复,请按上所述在版本控制系统中搜索它,因为提交可 | ||
| 1264 | 能会告诉你是否可以进行回溯。 | ||
| 1265 | |||
| 1266 | * 检查讨论中是否有任何迹象表明,该修复程序可能风险太大,无法回溯到你关心 | ||
| 1267 | 的版本线。如果是这样的话,你必须忍受这个问题,或者切换到应用了修复的内 | ||
| 1268 | 核版本线。 | ||
| 1269 | |||
| 1270 | * 如果修复的问题未包含稳定版标签,并且没有讨论过回溯问题,请加入讨论:如 | ||
| 1271 | 果合适的话,请提及你所面对的问题的版本,以及你希望看到它被修复。 | ||
| 1272 | |||
| 1273 | |||
| 1274 | 请求建议 | ||
| 1275 | ~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 1276 | |||
| 1277 | *前面的步骤之一应该会给出一个解决方案。如果仍未能成功,请向可能引起问题 | ||
| 1278 | 的子系统的维护人员询问建议;抄送特定子系统的邮件列表以及稳定版邮件列表。* | ||
| 1279 | |||
| 1280 | 如果前面的三个步骤都没有让你更接近解决方案,那么只剩下一个选择:请求建议。 | ||
| 1281 | 在你发给可能是问题根源的子系统的维护者的邮件中这样做;抄送子系统的邮件列表 | ||
| 1282 | 以及稳定版邮件列表(stable@vger.kernel.org)。 | ||
| 1283 | |||
| 1284 | |||
| 1285 | 为什么有些问题在报告后没有任何回应或仍未解决? | ||
| 1286 | =============================================== | ||
| 1287 | |||
| 1288 | 当向 Linux 开发者报告问题时,要注意只有“高优先级的问题”(回归、安全问题、严 | ||
| 1289 | 重问题)才一定会得到解决。如果维护者或其他人都失败了,Linus Torvalds 他自己 | ||
| 1290 | 会确保这一点。他们和其他内核开发者也会解决很多其他问题。但是要知道,有时他 | ||
| 1291 | 们也会不能或不愿帮忙;有时甚至没有人发报告给他们。 | ||
| 1292 | |||
| 1293 | 最好的解释就是那些内核开发者常常是在业余时间为 Linux 内核做出贡献。内核中的 | ||
| 1294 | 不少驱动程序都是由这样的程序员编写的,往往只是因为他们想让自己的硬件可以在 | ||
| 1295 | 自己喜欢的操作系统上使用。 | ||
| 1296 | |||
| 1297 | 这些程序员大多数时候会很乐意修复别人报告的问题。但是没有人可以强迫他们这样 | ||
| 1298 | 做,因为他们是自愿贡献的。 | ||
| 1299 | |||
| 1300 | 还有一些情况下,这些开发者真的很想解决一个问题,但却不能解决:有时他们缺乏 | ||
| 1301 | 硬件编程文档来解决问题。这种情况往往由于公开的文档太简陋,或者驱动程序是通 | ||
| 1302 | 过逆向工程编写的。 | ||
| 1303 | |||
| 1304 | 业余开发者迟早也会不再关心某驱动。也许他们的测试硬件坏了,被更高级的玩意取 | ||
| 1305 | 代了,或者是太老了以至于只能在计算机博物馆里找到。有时开发者根本就不关心他 | ||
| 1306 | 们的代码和 Linux 了,因为在他们的生活中一些不同的东西变得更重要了。在某些情 | ||
| 1307 | 况下,没有人愿意接手维护者的工作——也没有人可以被强迫,因为对 Linux 内核的贡 | ||
| 1308 | 献是自愿的。然而被遗弃的驱动程序仍然存在于内核中:它们对人们仍然有用,删除 | ||
| 1309 | 它们可能导致回归。 | ||
| 1310 | |||
| 1311 | 对于那些为 Linux 内核工作而获得报酬的开发者来说,情况并没有什么不同。这些人 | ||
| 1312 | 现在贡献了大部分的变更。但是他们的雇主迟早也会停止关注他们的代码或者让程序 | ||
| 1313 | 员专注于其他事情。例如,硬件厂商主要通过销售新硬件来赚钱;因此,他们中的不 | ||
| 1314 | 少人并没有投入太多时间和精力来维护他们多年前就停止销售的东西的 Linux 内核驱 | ||
| 1315 | 动。企业级 Linux 发行商往往持续维护的时间比较长,但在新版本中往往会把对老旧 | ||
| 1316 | 和稀有硬件的支持放在一边,以限制范围。一旦公司抛弃了一些代码,往往由业余贡 | ||
| 1317 | 献者接手,但正如上面提到的:他们迟早也会放下代码。 | ||
| 1318 | |||
| 1319 | 优先级是一些问题没有被修复的另一个原因,因为维护者相当多的时候是被迫设置这 | ||
| 1320 | 些优先级的,因为在 Linux 上工作的时间是有限的。对于业余时间或者雇主给予他们 | ||
| 1321 | 的开发人员用于上游内核维护工作的时间也是如此。有时维护人员也会被报告淹没, | ||
| 1322 | 即使一个驱动程序几乎完美地工作。为了不被完全缠住,程序员可能别无选择,只能 | ||
| 1323 | 对问题报告进行优先级排序而拒绝其中的一些报告。 | ||
| 1324 | |||
| 1325 | 不过这些都不用太过担心,很多驱动都有积极的维护者,他们对尽可能多的解决问题 | ||
| 1326 | 相当感兴趣。 | ||
| 1327 | |||
| 1328 | |||
| 1329 | 结束语 | ||

| 1331 | |||
| 1332 | 与其他免费/自由&开源软件(Free/Libre & Open Source Software,FLOSS)相比, | ||
| 1333 | 向 Linux 内核开发者报告问题是很难的:这个文档的长度和复杂性以及字里行间的内 | ||
| 1334 | 涵都说明了这一点。但目前就是这样了。这篇文字的主要作者希望通过记录现状来为 | ||
| 1335 | 以后改善这种状况打下一些基础。 | ||

| 9 | 安全缺陷 | ||
| 10 | ========= | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | Linux内核开发人员非常重视安全性。因此我们想知道何时发现了安全漏洞,以便尽快 | ||
| 13 | 修复和披露。请向Linux内核安全团队报告安全漏洞。 | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | 联络 | ||
| 16 | ----- | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 可以通过电子邮件<security@kernel.org>联系Linux内核安全团队。这是一个安全人员 | ||
| 19 | 的私有列表,他们将帮助验证错误报告并开发和发布修复程序。如果您已经有了一个 | ||
| 20 | 修复,请将其包含在您的报告中,这样可以大大加快进程。安全团队可能会从区域维护 | ||
| 21 | 人员那里获得额外的帮助,以理解和修复安全漏洞。 | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 与任何缺陷一样,提供的信息越多,诊断和修复就越容易。如果您不清楚哪些信息有用, | ||
| 24 | 请查看“Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst”中 | ||
| 25 | 概述的步骤。任何利用漏洞的攻击代码都非常有用,未经报告者同意不会对外发布,除 | ||
| 26 | 非已经公开。 | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 请尽可能发送无附件的纯文本电子邮件。如果所有的细节都藏在附件里,那么就很难对 | ||
| 29 | 一个复杂的问题进行上下文引用的讨论。把它想象成一个 | ||
| 30 | :doc:`常规的补丁提交 <../process/submitting-patches>` (即使你还没有补丁): | ||
| 31 | 描述问题和影响,列出复现步骤,然后给出一个建议的解决方案,所有这些都是纯文本的。 | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | 披露和限制信息 | ||
| 34 | --------------- | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 安全列表不是公开渠道。为此,请参见下面的协作。 | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 一旦开发出了健壮的补丁,发布过程就开始了。对公开的缺陷的修复会立即发布。 | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 尽管我们倾向于在未公开缺陷的修复可用时即发布补丁,但应报告者或受影响方的请求, | ||
| 41 | 这可能会被推迟到发布过程开始后的7日内,如果根据缺陷的严重性需要更多的时间, | ||
| 42 | 则可额外延长到14天。推迟发布修复的唯一有效原因是为了适应QA的逻辑和需要发布 | ||
| 43 | 协调的大规模部署。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 虽然可能与受信任的个人共享受限信息以开发修复,但未经报告者许可,此类信息不会 | ||
| 46 | 与修复程序一起发布或发布在任何其他披露渠道上。这包括但不限于原始错误报告和 | ||
| 47 | 后续讨论(如有)、漏洞、CVE信息或报告者的身份。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 换句话说,我们唯一感兴趣的是修复缺陷。提交给安全列表的所有其他资料以及对报告 | ||
| 50 | 的任何后续讨论,即使在解除限制之后,也将永久保密。 | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | 协调 | ||
| 53 | ------ | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | 对敏感缺陷(例如那些可能导致权限提升的缺陷)的修复可能需要与私有邮件列表 | ||
| 56 | <linux-distros@vs.openwall.org>进行协调,以便分发供应商做好准备,在公开披露 | ||
| 57 | 上游补丁时发布一个已修复的内核。发行版将需要一些时间来测试建议的补丁,通常 | ||
| 58 | 会要求至少几天的限制,而供应商更新发布更倾向于周二至周四。若合适,安全团队 | ||
| 59 | 可以协助这种协调,或者报告者可以从一开始就包括linux发行版。在这种情况下,请 | ||
| 60 | 记住在电子邮件主题行前面加上“[vs]”,如linux发行版wiki中所述: | ||
| 61 | <http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros#how-to-use-the-lists>。 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | CVE分配 | ||
| 64 | -------- | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 安全团队通常不分配CVE,我们也不需要它们来进行报告或修复,因为这会使过程不必 | ||
| 67 | 要的复杂化,并可能耽误缺陷处理。如果报告者希望在公开披露之前分配一个CVE编号, | ||
| 68 | 他们需要联系上述的私有linux-distros列表。当在提供补丁之前已有这样的CVE编号时, | ||
| 69 | 如报告者愿意,最好在提交消息中提及它。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | 保密协议 | ||
| 72 | --------- | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | Linux内核安全团队不是一个正式的机构实体,因此无法签订任何保密协议。 | ||

| 9 | 受污染的内核 | ||
| 10 | ------------- | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 当发生一些在稍后调查问题时可能相关的事件时,内核会将自己标记为“受污染 | ||
| 13 | (tainted)”的。不用太过担心,大多数情况下运行受污染的内核没有问题;这些信息 | ||
| 14 | 主要在有人想调查某个问题时才有意义的,因为问题的真正原因可能是导致内核受污染 | ||
| 15 | 的事件。这就是为什么来自受污染内核的缺陷报告常常被开发人员忽略,因此请尝试用 | ||
| 16 | 未受污染的内核重现问题。 | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 请注意,即使在您消除导致污染的原因(亦即卸载专有内核模块)之后,内核仍将保持 | ||
| 19 | 污染状态,以表示内核仍然不可信。这也是为什么内核在注意到内部问题(“kernel | ||
| 20 | bug”)、可恢复错误(“kernel oops”)或不可恢复错误(“kernel panic”)时会打印 | ||
| 21 | 受污染状态,并将有关此的调试信息写入日志 ``dmesg`` 输出。也可以通过 | ||
| 22 | ``/proc/`` 中的文件在运行时检查受污染的状态。 | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | BUG、Oops或Panics消息中的污染标志 | ||
| 26 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 在顶部以“CPU:”开头的一行中可以找到受污染的状态;内核是否受到污染和原因会显示 | ||
| 29 | 在进程ID(“PID:”)和触发事件命令的缩写名称(“Comm:”)之后:: | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 | ||
| 32 | Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI | ||

| 36 | [...] | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 如果内核在事件发生时没有被污染,您将在那里看到“Not-tainted:”;如果被污染,那 | ||
| 39 | 么它将是“Tainted:”以及字母或空格。在上面的例子中,它看起来是这样的:: | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Tainted: P W O | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 下表解释了这些字符的含义。在本例中,由于加载了专有模块( ``P`` ),出现了 | ||
| 44 | 警告( ``W`` ),并且加载了外部构建的模块( ``O`` ),所以内核早些时候受到 | ||
| 45 | 了污染。要解码其他字符,请使用下表。 | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 解码运行时的污染状态 | ||
| 49 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | 在运行时,您可以通过读取 ``cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted`` 来查询受污染状态。 | ||
| 52 | 如果返回 ``0`` ,则内核没有受到污染;任何其他数字都表示受到污染的原因。解码 | ||
| 53 | 这个数字的最简单方法是使用脚本 ``tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint`` ,您的 | ||
| 54 | 发行版可能会将其作为名为 ``linux-tools`` 或 ``kernel-tools`` 的包的一部分提 | ||
| 55 | 供;如果没有,您可以从 | ||
| 56 | `git.kernel.org <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint>`_ | ||
| 57 | 网站下载此脚本并用 ``sh kernel-chktaint`` 执行,它会在上面引用的日志中有类似 | ||
| 58 | 语句的机器上打印这样的内容:: | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | Kernel is Tainted for following reasons: | ||
| 61 | * Proprietary module was loaded (#0) | ||
| 62 | * Kernel issued warning (#9) | ||
| 63 | * Externally-built ('out-of-tree') module was loaded (#12) | ||
| 64 | See Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst in the Linux kernel or | ||
| 65 | https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.html for | ||
| 66 | a more details explanation of the various taint flags. | ||
| 67 | Raw taint value as int/string: 4609/'P W O ' | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | 你也可以试着自己解码这个数字。如果内核被污染的原因只有一个,那么这很简单, | ||
| 70 | 在本例中您可以通过下表找到数字。如果你需要解码有多个原因的数字,因为它是一 | ||
| 71 | 个位域(bitfield),其中每个位表示一个特定类型的污染的存在或不存在,最好让 | ||
| 72 | 前面提到的脚本来处理。但是如果您需要快速看一下,可以使用这个shell命令来检查 | ||
| 73 | 设置了哪些位:: | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | $ for i in $(seq 18); do echo $(($i-1)) $(($(cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted)>>($i-1)&1));done | ||

| 105 | 污染的更详细解释 | ||
| 106 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | 0) ``G`` 加载的所有模块都有GPL或兼容许可证, ``P`` 加载了任何专有模块。 | ||
| 109 | 没有MODULE_LICENSE(模块许可证)或MODULE_LICENSE未被insmod认可为GPL | ||
| 110 | 兼容的模块被认为是专有的。 | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | 1) ``F`` 任何模块被 ``insmod -f`` 强制加载, ``' '`` 所有模块正常加载。 | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | 2) ``S`` 内核运行在不合规范的处理器或系统上:硬件已运行在不受支持的配置中, | ||
| 116 | 因此无法保证正确执行。内核将被污染,例如: | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | - 在x86上:PAE是通过intel CPU(如Pentium M)上的forcepae强制执行的,这些 | ||
| 119 | CPU不报告PAE,但可能有功能实现,SMP内核在非官方支持的SMP Athlon CPU上 | ||
| 120 | 运行,MSR被暴露到用户空间中。 | ||
| 121 | - 在arm上:在某些CPU(如Keystone 2)上运行的内核,没有启用某些内核特性。 | ||
| 122 | - 在arm64上:CPU之间存在不匹配的硬件特性,引导加载程序以不同的模式引导CPU。 | ||
| 123 | - 某些驱动程序正在被用在不受支持的体系结构上(例如x86_64以外的其他系统 | ||
| 124 | 上的scsi/snic,非x86/x86_64/itanium上的scsi/ips,已经损坏了arm64上 | ||
| 125 | irqchip/irq-gic的固件设置…)。 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | 3) ``R`` 模块被 ``rmmod -f`` 强制卸载, ``' '`` 所有模块都正常卸载。 | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | 4) ``M`` 任何处理器报告了机器检测异常, ``' '`` 未发生机器检测异常。 | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | 5) ``B`` 页面释放函数发现错误的页面引用或某些意外的页面标志。这表示硬件问题 | ||
| 132 | 或内核错误;日志中应该有其他信息指示发生此污染的原因。 | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | 6) ``U`` 用户或用户应用程序特意请求设置受污染标志,否则应为 ``' '`` 。 | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | 7) ``D`` 内核最近死机了,即出现了OOPS或BUG。 | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | 8) ``A`` ACPI表被重写。 | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | 9) ``W`` 内核之前已发出过警告(尽管有些警告可能会设置更具体的污染标志)。 | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | 10) ``C`` 已加载staging驱动程序。 | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | 11) ``I`` 内核正在处理平台固件(BIOS或类似软件)中的严重错误。 | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | 12) ``O`` 已加载外部构建(“树外”)模块。 | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | 13) ``E`` 在支持模块签名的内核中加载了未签名的模块。 | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | 14) ``L`` 系统上先前发生过软锁定。 | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | 15) ``K`` 内核已经实时打了补丁。 | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | 16) ``X`` 备用污染,由Linux发行版定义和使用。 | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | 17) ``T`` 内核构建时使用了randstruct插件,它可以有意生成非常不寻常的内核结构 | ||
| 157 | 布局(甚至是性能病态的布局),这在调试时非常有用。于构建时设置。 | ||

| 10 | ====================== | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | (英文版)上次更新:2005-01-17,版本号 1.4 | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | 此文档由H. Peter Anvin <unicode@lanana.org>管理,是Linux注册名称与编号管理局 | ||
| 15 | (Linux Assigned Names And Numbers Authority,LANANA)项目的一部分。 | ||

| 19 | |||
| 20 | 简介 | ||
| 21 | ----- | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | Linux内核代码已被重写以使用Unicode来将字符映射到字体。下载一个Unicode到字体 | ||
| 24 | (Unicode-to-font)表,八位字符集与UTF-8模式都将改用此字体来显示。 | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | 这微妙地改变了八位字符表的语义。现在的四个字符表是: | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | =============== =============================== ================ | ||
| 29 | 映射代号 映射名称 Escape代码 (G0) | ||
| 30 | =============== =============================== ================ | ||
| 31 | LAT1_MAP Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) ESC ( B | ||
| 32 | GRAF_MAP DEC VT100 pseudographics ESC ( 0 | ||
| 33 | IBMPC_MAP IBM code page 437 ESC ( U | ||
| 34 | USER_MAP User defined ESC ( K | ||
| 35 | =============== =============================== ================ | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | 特别是 ESC ( U 不再是“直通字体”,因为字体可能与IBM字符集完全不同。 | ||
| 38 | 例如,即使加载了一个Latin-1字体,也允许使用块图形(block graphics)。 | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 请注意,尽管这些代码与ISO 2022类似,但这些代码及其用途都与ISO 2022不匹配; | ||
| 41 | Linux有两个八位代码(G0和G1),而ISO 2022有四个七位代码(G0-G3)。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 根据Unicode标准/ISO 10646,U+F000到U+F8FF被保留用于操作系统范围内的分配 | ||
| 44 | (Unicode标准将其称为“团体区域(Corporate Zone)”,因为这对于Linux是不准确 | ||
| 45 | 的,所以我们称之为“Linux区域”)。选择U+F000作为起点,因为它允许直接映射 | ||
| 46 | 区域以2的大倍数开始(以防需要1024或2048个字符的字体)。这就留下U+E000到 | ||
| 47 | U+EFFF作为最终用户区。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | [v1.2]:Unicodes范围从U+F000到U+F7FF已经被硬编码为直接映射到加载的字体, | ||
| 50 | 绕过了翻译表。用户定义的映射现在默认为U+F000到U+F0FF,模拟前述行为。实际上, | ||
| 51 | 此范围可能较短;例如,vgacon只能处理256字符(U+F000..U+F0FF)或512字符 | ||
| 52 | (U+F000..U+F1FF)字体。 | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | Linux 区域中定义的实际字符 | ||
| 55 | --------------------------- | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 此外,还定义了Unicode 1.1.4中不存在的以下字符;这些字符由DEC VT图形映射使用。 | ||
| 58 | [v1.2]此用法已过时,不应再使用;请参见下文。 | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | ====== ====================================== | ||
| 61 | U+F800 DEC VT GRAPHICS HORIZONTAL LINE SCAN 1 | ||
| 62 | U+F801 DEC VT GRAPHICS HORIZONTAL LINE SCAN 3 | ||
| 63 | U+F803 DEC VT GRAPHICS HORIZONTAL LINE SCAN 7 | ||
| 64 | U+F804 DEC VT GRAPHICS HORIZONTAL LINE SCAN 9 | ||
| 65 | ====== ====================================== | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | DEC VT220使用6x10字符矩阵,这些字符在DEC VT图形字符集中形成一个平滑的过渡。 | ||
| 68 | 我省略了扫描5行,因为它也被用作块图形字符,因此被编码为U+2500 FORMS LIGHT | ||
| 69 | HORIZONTAL。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | [v1.3]:这些字符已正式添加到Unicode 3.2.0中;它们在U+23BA、U+23BB、U+23BC、 | ||
| 72 | U+23BD处添加。Linux现在使用新值。 | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | [v1.2]:添加了以下字符来表示常见的键盘符号,这些符号不太可能被添加到Unicode | ||
| 75 | 中,因为它们非常讨厌地取决于特定供应商。当然,这是糟糕设计的一个好例子。 | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | ====== ====================================== | ||

| 82 | ====== ====================================== | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | 克林贡(Klingon)语支持 | ||
| 85 | ------------------------ | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | 1996年,Linux是世界上第一个添加对人工语言克林贡支持的操作系统,克林贡是由 | ||
| 88 | Marc Okrand为《星际迷航》电视连续剧创造的。这种编码后来被征募Unicode注册表 | ||
| 89 | (ConScript Unicode Registry,CSUR)采用,并建议(但最终被拒绝)纳入Unicode | ||
| 90 | 平面一。不过,它仍然是Linux区域中的Linux/CSUR私有分配。 | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | 这种编码已经得到克林贡语言研究所(Klingon Language Institute)的认可。 | ||
| 93 | 有关更多信息,请联系他们: | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | http://www.kli.org/ | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | 由于Linux CZ开头部分的字符大多是dingbats/symbols/forms类型,而且这是一种 | ||
| 98 | 语言,因此根据标准Unicode惯例,我将它放置在16单元的边界上。 | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | .. note:: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 这个范围现在由征募Unicode注册表正式管理。规范性引用文件为: | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | https://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/klingon.html | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 克林贡语有一个26个字符的字母表,一个10位数的位置数字书写系统,从左到右 | ||
| 107 | ,从上到下书写。 | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | 克林贡字母的几种字形已经被提出。但是由于这组符号看起来始终是一致的,只有实际 | ||
| 110 | 的形状不同,因此按照标准Unicode惯例,这些差异被认为是字体变体。 | ||

| 158 | 其他虚构和人工字母 | ||
| 159 | ------------------- | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | 自从分配了克林贡Linux Unicode块之后,John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> | ||
| 162 | 和 Michael Everson <everson@evertype.com> 建立了一个虚构和人工字母的注册表。 | ||
| 163 | 征募Unicode注册表请访问: | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | https://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/ | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | 所使用的范围位于最终用户区域的低端,因此无法进行规范化分配,但建议希望对虚构 | ||
| 168 | 字母进行编码的人员使用这些代码,以实现互操作性。对于克林贡语,CSUR采用了Linux | ||
| 169 | 编码。CSUR的人正在推动将Tengwar和Cirth添加到Unicode平面一;将克林贡添加到 | ||
| 170 | Unicode平面一被拒绝,因此上述编码仍然是官方的。 | ||

| 10 | 什么是IRQ? | ||
| 11 | =========== | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) 指来自设备的中断请求。 | ||
| 14 | 目前,它们可以通过一个引脚或通过一个数据包进入。 | ||
| 15 | 多个设备可以连接到同一个引脚,从而共享一个IRQ。 | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | IRQ编号是用来描述硬件中断源的内核标识符。通常它是一个到全局irq_desc数组的索引, | ||
| 18 | 但是除了在linux/interrupt.h中实现的之外,其它细节是体系结构特征相关的。 | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | IRQ编号是对机器上可能的中断源的枚举。通常枚举的是系统中所有中断控制器的输入引脚 | ||
| 21 | 编号。在ISA(工业标准体系结构)的情况下所枚举的是两个i8259中断控制器的16个输入引脚。 | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 体系结构可以给IRQ号赋予额外的含义,在涉及到硬件手动配置的情况下,我们鼓励这样做。 | ||
| 24 | ISA IRQ是赋予这种额外含义的一个典型例子。 | ||

| 18 | /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity和/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity_list指定了哪些CPU能 | ||
| 19 | 够关联到一个给定的IRQ源,这两个文件包含了这些指定cpu的cpu位掩码(smp_affinity)和cpu列 | ||
| 20 | 表(smp_affinity_list)。它不允许关闭所有CPU, 同时如果IRQ控制器不支持中断请求亲和 | ||
| 21 | (IRQ affinity),那么所有cpu的默认值将保持不变(即关联到所有CPU). | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity指明了适用于所有非激活IRQ的默认亲和性掩码。一旦IRQ被 | ||
| 24 | 分配/激活,它的亲和位掩码将被设置为默认掩码。然后可以如上所述改变它。默认掩码是0xffffffff。 | ||

| 9 | ======================= | ||
| 10 | irq_domain 中断号映射库 | ||
| 11 | ======================= | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | 目前Linux内核的设计使用了一个巨大的数字空间,每个独立的IRQ源都被分配了一个不 | ||
| 14 | 同的数字。 | ||
| 15 | 当只有一个中断控制器时,这很简单,但在有多个中断控制器的系统中,内核必须确保每 | ||
| 16 | 个中断控制器都能得到非重复的Linux IRQ号(数字)分配。 | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 注册为唯一的irqchips的中断控制器编号呈现出上升的趋势:例如GPIO控制器等不同 | ||
| 19 | 种类的子驱动程序通过将其中断处理程序建模为irqchips,即实际上是级联中断控制器, | ||
| 20 | 避免了重新实现与IRQ核心系统相同的回调机制。 | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 在这里,中断号与硬件中断号离散了所有种类的对应关系:而在过去,IRQ号可以选择, | ||
| 23 | 使它们与硬件IRQ线进入根中断控制器(即实际向CPU发射中断线的组件)相匹配,现 | ||
| 24 | 在这个编号仅仅是一个数字。 | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | 出于这个原因,我们需要一种机制将控制器本地中断号(即硬件irq编号)与Linux IRQ | ||
| 27 | 号分开。 | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | irq_alloc_desc*() 和 irq_free_desc*() API 提供了对irq号的分配,但它们不 | ||
| 30 | 提供任何对控制器本地IRQ(hwirq)号到Linux IRQ号空间的反向映射的支持。 | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | irq_domain 库在 irq_alloc_desc*() API 的基础上增加了 hwirq 和 IRQ 号码 | ||
| 33 | 之间的映射。 相比于中断控制器驱动开放编码自己的反向映射方案,我们更喜欢用 | ||
| 34 | irq_domain来管理映射。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | irq_domain还实现了从抽象的irq_fwspec结构体到hwirq号的转换(到目前为止是 | ||
| 37 | Device Tree和ACPI GSI),并且可以很容易地扩展以支持其它IRQ拓扑数据源。 | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | irq_domain的用法 | ||
| 40 | ================ | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | 中断控制器驱动程序通过以下方式创建并注册一个irq_domain。调用 | ||
| 43 | irq_domain_add_*() 或 irq_domain_create_*()函数之一(每个映射方法都有不 | ||
| 44 | 同的分配器函数,后面会详细介绍)。 函数成功后会返回一个指向irq_domain的指针。 | ||
| 45 | 调用者必须向分配器函数提供一个irq_domain_ops结构体。 | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | 在大多数情况下,irq_domain在开始时是空的,没有任何hwirq和IRQ号之间的映射。 | ||
| 48 | 通过调用irq_create_mapping()将映射添加到irq_domain中,该函数接受 | ||
| 49 | irq_domain和一个hwirq号作为参数。 如果hwirq的映射还不存在,那么它将分配 | ||
| 50 | 一个新的Linux irq_desc,将其与hwirq关联起来,并调用.map()回调,这样驱动 | ||
| 51 | 程序就可以执行任何必要的硬件设置。 | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 当接收到一个中断时,应该使用irq_find_mapping()函数从hwirq号中找到 | ||
| 54 | Linux IRQ号。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 在调用irq_find_mapping()之前,至少要调用一次irq_create_mapping()函数, | ||
| 57 | 以免描述符不能被分配。 | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | 如果驱动程序有Linux的IRQ号或irq_data指针,并且需要知道相关的hwirq号(比 | ||
| 60 | 如在irq_chip回调中),那么可以直接从irq_data->hwirq中获得。 | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | irq_domain映射的类型 | ||
| 63 | ==================== | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | 从hwirq到Linux irq的反向映射有几种机制,每种机制使用不同的分配函数。应该 | ||
| 66 | 使用哪种反向映射类型取决于用例。 下面介绍每一种反向映射类型: | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 线性映射 | ||
| 69 | -------- | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | :: | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | irq_domain_add_linear() | ||
| 74 | irq_domain_create_linear() | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 线性反向映射维护了一个固定大小的表,该表以hwirq号为索引。 当一个hwirq被映射 | ||
| 77 | 时,会给hwirq分配一个irq_desc,并将irq号存储在表中。 | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 当最大的hwirq号固定且数量相对较少时,线性图是一个很好的选择(~<256)。 这种 | ||
| 80 | 映射的优点是固定时间查找IRQ号,而且irq_descs只分配给在用的IRQ。 缺点是该表 | ||
| 81 | 必须尽可能大的hwirq号。 | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | irq_domain_add_linear()和irq_domain_create_linear()在功能上是等价的, | ||
| 84 | 除了第一个参数不同--前者接受一个Open Firmware特定的 'struct device_node' 而 | ||
| 85 | 后者接受一个更通用的抽象 'struct fwnode_handle' 。 | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | 大多数驱动应该使用线性映射 | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | 树状映射 | ||
| 90 | -------- | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | :: | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | irq_domain_add_tree() | ||
| 95 | irq_domain_create_tree() | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | irq_domain维护着从hwirq号到Linux IRQ的radix的树状映射。 当一个hwirq被映射时, | ||
| 98 | 一个irq_desc被分配,hwirq被用作radix树的查找键。 | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 如果hwirq号可以非常大,树状映射是一个很好的选择,因为它不需要分配一个和最大hwirq | ||
| 101 | 号一样大的表。 缺点是,hwirq到IRQ号的查找取决于表中有多少条目。 | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | irq_domain_add_tree()和irq_domain_create_tree()在功能上是等价的,除了第一 | ||
| 104 | 个参数不同——前者接受一个Open Firmware特定的 'struct device_node' ,而后者接受 | ||
| 105 | 一个更通用的抽象 'struct fwnode_handle' 。 | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | 很少有驱动应该需要这个映射。 | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | 无映射 | ||
| 110 | ------ | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | :: | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | irq_domain_add_nomap() | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 当硬件中的hwirq号是可编程的时候,就可以采用无映射类型。 在这种情况下,最好将 | ||
| 117 | Linux IRQ号编入硬件本身,这样就不需要映射了。 调用irq_create_direct_mapping() | ||
| 118 | 会分配一个Linux IRQ号,并调用.map()回调,这样驱动就可以将Linux IRQ号编入硬件中。 | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | 大多数驱动程序不能使用这个映射。 | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | 传统映射类型 | ||
| 123 | ------------ | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | :: | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | irq_domain_add_simple() | ||
| 128 | irq_domain_add_legacy() | ||
| 129 | irq_domain_add_legacy_isa() | ||
| 130 | irq_domain_create_simple() | ||
| 131 | irq_domain_create_legacy() | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | 传统映射是已经为 hwirqs 分配了一系列 irq_descs 的驱动程序的特殊情况。 当驱动程 | ||
| 134 | 序不能立即转换为使用线性映射时,就会使用它。 例如,许多嵌入式系统板卡支持文件使用 | ||
| 135 | 一组用于IRQ号的定义(#define),这些定义被传递给struct设备注册。 在这种情况下, | ||
| 136 | 不能动态分配Linux IRQ号,应该使用传统映射。 | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | 传统映射假设已经为控制器分配了一个连续的IRQ号范围,并且可以通过向hwirq号添加一 | ||
| 139 | 个固定的偏移来计算IRQ号,反之亦然。 缺点是需要中断控制器管理IRQ分配,并且需要为每 | ||
| 140 | 个hwirq分配一个irq_desc,即使它没有被使用。 | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | 只有在必须支持固定的IRQ映射时,才应使用传统映射。 例如,ISA控制器将使用传统映射来 | ||
| 143 | 映射Linux IRQ 0-15,这样现有的ISA驱动程序就能得到正确的IRQ号。 | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | 大多数使用传统映射的用户应该使用irq_domain_add_simple()或 | ||
| 146 | irq_domain_create_simple(),只有在系统提供IRQ范围时才会使用传统域,否则将使用 | ||
| 147 | 线性域映射。这个调用的语义是这样的:如果指定了一个IRQ范围,那么 描述符将被即时分配 | ||
| 148 | 给它,如果没有范围被分配,它将不会执行 irq_domain_add_linear() 或 | ||
| 149 | irq_domain_create_linear(),这意味着 *no* irq 描述符将被分配。 | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | 一个简单域的典型用例是,irqchip供应商同时支持动态和静态IRQ分配。 | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | 为了避免最终出现使用线性域而没有描述符被分配的情况,确保使用简单域的驱动程序在任何 | ||
| 154 | irq_find_mapping()之前调用irq_create_mapping()是非常重要的,因为后者实际上 | ||
| 155 | 将用于静态IRQ分配情况。 | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | irq_domain_add_simple()和irq_domain_create_simple()以及 | ||
| 158 | irq_domain_add_legacy()和irq_domain_create_legacy()在功能上是等价的,只 | ||
| 159 | 是第一个参数不同--前者接受Open Firmware特定的 'struct device_node' ,而后者 | ||
| 160 | 接受一个更通用的抽象 'struct fwnode_handle' 。 | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | IRQ域层级结构 | ||
| 163 | ------------- | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | 在某些架构上,可能有多个中断控制器参与将一个中断从设备传送到目标CPU。 | ||
| 166 | 让我们来看看x86平台上典型的中断传递路径吧 | ||
| 167 | :: | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | Device --> IOAPIC -> Interrupt remapping Controller -> Local APIC -> CPU | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | 涉及到的中断控制器有三个: | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | 1) IOAPIC 控制器 | ||
| 174 | 2) 中断重映射控制器 | ||
| 175 | 3) Local APIC 控制器 | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | 为了支持这样的硬件拓扑结构,使软件架构与硬件架构相匹配,为每个中断控制器建立一 | ||
| 178 | 个irq_domain数据结构,并将这些irq_domain组织成层次结构。 | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | 在建立irq_domain层次结构时,靠近设备的irq_domain为子域,靠近CPU的 | ||
| 181 | irq_domain为父域。所以在上面的例子中,将建立如下的层次结构。 | ||
| 182 | :: | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | CPU Vector irq_domain (root irq_domain to manage CPU vectors) | ||
| 185 | ^ | ||
| 186 | | | ||
| 187 | Interrupt Remapping irq_domain (manage irq_remapping entries) | ||
| 188 | ^ | ||
| 189 | | | ||
| 190 | IOAPIC irq_domain (manage IOAPIC delivery entries/pins) | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 使用irq_domain层次结构的主要接口有四个: | ||
| 193 | |||
| 194 | 1) irq_domain_alloc_irqs(): 分配IRQ描述符和与中断控制器相关的资源来传递这些中断。 | ||
| 195 | 2) irq_domain_free_irqs(): 释放IRQ描述符和与这些中断相关的中断控制器资源。 | ||
| 196 | 3) irq_domain_activate_irq(): 激活中断控制器硬件以传递中断。 | ||
| 197 | 4) irq_domain_deactivate_irq(): 停用中断控制器硬件,停止传递中断。 | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | 为了支持irq_domain层次结构,需要做如下修改: | ||
| 200 | |||
| 201 | 1) 一个新的字段 'parent' 被添加到irq_domain结构中;它用于维护irq_domain的层次信息。 | ||
| 202 | 2) 一个新的字段 'parent_data' 被添加到irq_data结构中;它用于建立层次结构irq_data以 | ||
| 203 | 匹配irq_domain层次结构。irq_data用于存储irq_domain指针和硬件irq号。 | ||
| 204 | 3) 新的回调被添加到irq_domain_ops结构中,以支持层次结构的irq_domain操作。 | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | 在支持分层irq_domain和分层irq_data准备就绪后,为每个中断控制器建立一个irq_domain结 | ||
| 207 | 构,并为每个与IRQ相关联的irq_domain分配一个irq_data结构。现在我们可以再进一步支持堆 | ||
| 208 | 栈式(层次结构)的irq_chip。也就是说,一个irq_chip与层次结构中的每个irq_data相关联。 | ||
| 209 | 一个子irq_chip可以自己或通过与它的父irq_chip合作来实现一个所需的操作。 | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 通过堆栈式的irq_chip,中断控制器驱动只需要处理自己管理的硬件,在需要的时候可以向其父 | ||
| 212 | irq_chip请求服务。所以我们可以实现更简洁的软件架构。 | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | 为了让中断控制器驱动程序支持irq_domain层次结构,它需要做到以下几点: | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | 1) 实现 irq_domain_ops.alloc 和 irq_domain_ops.free | ||
| 217 | 2) 可选择地实现 irq_domain_ops.activate 和 irq_domain_ops.deactivate. | ||
| 218 | 3) 可选择地实现一个irq_chip来管理中断控制器硬件。 | ||
| 219 | 4) 不需要实现irq_domain_ops.map和irq_domain_ops.unmap,它们在层次结构 | ||
| 220 | irq_domain中是不用的。 | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | irq_domain层次结构绝不是x86特有的,大量用于支持其他架构,如ARM、ARM64等。 | ||
| 223 | |||

| 14 | |||
| 15 | “irq-flags tracing”(中断标志追踪)功能可以 “追踪” hardirq和softirq的状态,它让 | ||
| 16 | 感兴趣的子系统有机会了解到到内核中发生的每一个 | ||
| 17 | hardirqs-off/hardirqs-on、softirqs-off/softirqs-on事件。 | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT是通用锁调试代码提供的CONFIG_PROVE_SPIN_LOCKING | ||
| 20 | 和CONFIG_PROVE_RW_LOCKING所需要的。否则将只有CONFIG_PROVE_MUTEX_LOCKING和 | ||
| 21 | CONFIG_PROVE_RWSEM_LOCKING在一个架构上被提供--这些都是不在IRQ上下文中使用的 | ||
| 22 | 锁API。(rwsems的一个异常是可以解决的) | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 架构对这一点的支持当然不属于“微不足道”的范畴,因为很多低级的汇编代码都要处理irq-flags | ||
| 25 | 的状态变化。但是一个架构可以以一种相当直接且无风险的方式启用irq-flags-tracing。 | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 架构如果想支持这个,需要先做一些代码组织上的改变: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | - 在他们的arch级Kconfig文件中添加并启用TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT。 | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 然后还需要做一些功能上的改变来实现对irq-flags-tracing的支持: | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | - 在低级入口代码中增加(构建条件)对trace_hardirqs_off()/trace_hardirqs_on() | ||
| 34 | 函数的调用。锁验证器会密切关注 “real”的irq-flags是否与 “virtual”的irq-flags | ||
| 35 | 状态相匹配,如果两者不匹配,则会发出警告(并关闭自己)。通常维护arch中 | ||
| 36 | irq-flags-track的大部分时间都是在这种状态下度过的:看看lockdep的警告,试着 | ||
| 37 | 找出我们还没有搞定的汇编代码。修复并重复。一旦系统启动,并且在irq-flags跟踪功 | ||
| 38 | 能中没有出现lockdep警告的情况下,arch支持就完成了。 | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | - 如果该架构有不可屏蔽的中断,那么需要通过lockdep_off()/lockdep_on()将这些中 | ||
| 41 | 断从irq跟踪[和锁验证]机制中排除。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 一般来说,在一个架构中,不完整的irq-flags-tracing实现是没有风险的:lockdep | ||
| 44 | 会检测到这一点,并将自己关闭。即锁验证器仍然可靠。应该不会因为irq-tracing的错 | ||
| 45 | 误而崩溃。(除非通过修改不该修改的条件来更改汇编或寄存器而破坏其他代码) | ||

| 29 | cpufreq核心代码位于drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c中。这些cpufreq代码为CPUFreq架构的驱 | ||
| 30 | 动程序(那些操作硬件切换频率的代码)以及 "通知器 "提供了一个标准化的接口。 | ||
| 31 | 这些是设备驱动程序或需要了解策略变化的其它内核部分(如 ACPI 热量管理)或所有频率更改(除 | ||
| 32 | 计时代码外),甚至需要强制确定速度限制的通知器(如 ARM 架构上的 LCD 驱动程序)。 | ||
| 33 | 此外, 内核 "常数" loops_per_jiffy会根据频率变化而更新。 | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | cpufreq策略的引用计数由 cpufreq_cpu_get 和 cpufreq_cpu_put 来完成,以确保 cpufreq 驱 | ||
| 36 | 动程序被正确地注册到核心中,并且驱动程序在 cpufreq_put_cpu 被调用之前不会被卸载。这也保证 | ||
| 37 | 了每个CPU核的cpufreq 策略在使用期间不会被释放。 | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 2. CPUFreq 通知器 | ||
| 40 | ==================== | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | CPUFreq通知器符合标准的内核通知器接口。 | ||
| 43 | 关于通知器的细节请参阅 linux/include/linux/notifier.h。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 这里有两个不同的CPUfreq通知器 - 策略通知器和转换通知器。 | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 2.1 CPUFreq策略通知器 | ||
| 49 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | 当创建或移除策略时,这些都会被通知。 | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 阶段是在通知器的第二个参数中指定的。当第一次创建策略时,阶段是CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY,当 | ||
| 54 | 策略被移除时,阶段是CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 第三个参数 ``void *pointer`` 指向一个结构体cpufreq_policy,其包括min,max(新策略的下限和 | ||
| 57 | 上限(单位为kHz))这几个值。 | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 2.2 CPUFreq转换通知器 | ||
| 61 | -------------------------------- | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | 当CPUfreq驱动切换CPU核心频率时,策略中的每个在线CPU都会收到两次通知,这些变化没有任何外部干 | ||
| 64 | 预。 | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 第二个参数指定阶段 - CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE or CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE. | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 第三个参数是一个包含如下值的结构体cpufreq_freqs: | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | ===== ==================== | ||
| 71 | cpu 受影响cpu的编号 | ||
| 72 | old 旧频率 | ||
| 73 | new 新频率 | ||
| 74 | flags cpufreq驱动的标志 | ||
| 75 | ===== ==================== | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | 3. 含有Operating Performance Point (OPP)的CPUFreq表的生成 | ||
| 78 | ================================================================== | ||
| 79 | 关于OPP的细节请参阅 Documentation/power/opp.rst | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table - | ||
| 82 | 这个功能提供了一个随时可用的转换程序,用来将OPP层关于可用频率的内部信息翻译成一种容易提供给 | ||
| 83 | cpufreq的格式。 | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | .. Warning:: | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | 不要在中断上下文中使用此函数。 | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | 例如:: | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | soc_pm_init() | ||
| 92 | { | ||
| 93 | /* Do things */ | ||
| 94 | r = dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table); | ||
| 95 | if (!r) | ||
| 96 | policy->freq_table = freq_table; | ||
| 97 | /* Do other things */ | ||
| 98 | } | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | .. note:: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 该函数只有在CONFIG_PM_OPP之外还启用了CONFIG_CPU_FREQ时才可用。 | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | dev_pm_opp_free_cpufreq_table | ||
| 105 | 释放dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table分配的表。 | ||

| 34 | |||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 1. 怎么做? | ||
| 37 | =========== | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 如此,你刚刚得到了一个全新的CPU/芯片组及其数据手册,并希望为这个CPU/芯片组添加cpufreq | ||
| 40 | 支持?很好,这里有一些至关重要的提示: | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 1.1 初始化 | ||
| 44 | ---------- | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | 首先,在__initcall_level_7 (module_init())或更靠后的函数中检查这个内核是否 | ||
| 47 | 运行在正确的CPU和正确的芯片组上。如果是,则使用cpufreq_register_driver()向 | ||
| 48 | CPUfreq核心层注册一个cpufreq_driver结构体。 | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | 结构体cpufreq_driver应该包含什么成员? | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | .name - 驱动的名字。 | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | .init - 一个指向per-policy初始化函数的指针。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | .verify - 一个指向"verification"函数的指针。 | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | .setpolicy 或 .fast_switch 或 .target 或 .target_index - 差异见 | ||
| 59 | 下文。 | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | 并且可选择 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | .flags - cpufreq核的提示。 | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | .driver_data - cpufreq驱动程序的特定数据。 | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | .resolve_freq - 返回最适合目标频率的频率。不过并不能改变频率。 | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | .get_intermediate 和 target_intermediate - 用于在改变CPU频率时切换到稳定 | ||
| 70 | 的频率。 | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | .get - 返回CPU的当前频率。 | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | .bios_limit - 返回HW/BIOS对CPU的最大频率限制值。 | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | .exit - 一个指向per-policy清理函数的指针,该函数在cpu热插拔过程的CPU_POST_DEAD | ||
| 77 | 阶段被调用。 | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | .stop_cpu - 一个指向per-policy停止函数的指针,该函数在cpu热插拔过程的CPU_DOWN_PREPARE | ||
| 80 | 阶段被调用。 | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | .suspend - 一个指向per-policy暂停函数的指针,该函数在关中断且在该策略的调节器停止 | ||
| 83 | 后被调用。 | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | .resume - 一个指向per-policy恢复函数的指针,该函数在关中断且在调节器再一次开始前被 | ||
| 86 | 调用。 | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | .ready - 一个指向per-policy准备函数的指针,该函数在策略完全初始化之后被调用。 | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | .attr - 一个指向NULL结尾的"struct freq_attr"列表的指针,该函数允许导出值到 | ||
| 91 | sysfs。 | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | .boost_enabled - 如果设置,则启用提升(boost)频率。 | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | .set_boost - 一个指向per-policy函数的指针,该函数用来开启/关闭提升(boost)频率功能。 | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | 1.2 Per-CPU 初始化 | ||
| 99 | ------------------ | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | 每当一个新的CPU被注册到设备模型中,或者在cpufreq驱动注册自己之后,如果此CPU的cpufreq策 | ||
| 102 | 略不存在,则会调用per-policy的初始化函数cpufreq_driver.init。请注意,.init()和.exit()程序 | ||
| 103 | 只对策略调用一次,而不是对策略管理的每个CPU调用一次。它需要一个 ``struct cpufreq_policy | ||
| 104 | *policy`` 作为参数。现在该怎么做呢? | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 如果有必要,请在你的CPU上激活CPUfreq功能支持。 | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | 然后,驱动程序必须填写以下数值: | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 111 | |policy->cpuinfo.min_freq 和 | | | ||
| 112 | |policy->cpuinfo.max_freq | 该CPU支持的最低和最高频率(kHz) | | ||
| 113 | | | | | ||
| 114 | | | | | ||
| 115 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 116 | |policy->cpuinfo.transition_latency | | | ||
| 117 | | | CPU在两个频率之间切换所需的时间,以 | | ||
| 118 | | | 纳秒为单位(如适用,否则指定 | | ||
| 119 | | | CPUFREQ_ETERNAL) | | ||
| 120 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 121 | |policy->cur | 该CPU当前的工作频率(如适用) | | ||
| 122 | | | | | ||
| 123 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 124 | |policy->min, | | | ||
| 125 | |policy->max, | | | ||
| 126 | |policy->policy and, if necessary, | | | ||
| 127 | |policy->governor | 必须包含该cpu的 “默认策略”。稍后 | | ||
| 128 | | | 会用这些值调用 | | ||
| 129 | | | cpufreq_driver.verify and either | | ||
| 130 | | | cpufreq_driver.setpolicy or | | ||
| 131 | | | cpufreq_driver.target/target_index | | ||
| 132 | | | | | ||
| 133 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 134 | |policy->cpus | 用与这个CPU一起做DVFS的(在线+离线) | | ||
| 135 | | | CPU(即与它共享时钟/电压轨)的掩码更新 | | ||
| 136 | | | 这个 | | ||
| 137 | | | | | ||
| 138 | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | 对于设置其中的一些值(cpuinfo.min[max]_freq, policy->min[max]),频率表助手可能会有帮 | ||
| 141 | 助。关于它们的更多信息,请参见第2节。 | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | 1.3 验证 | ||
| 145 | -------- | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | 当用户决定设置一个新的策略(由 “policy,governor,min,max组成”)时,必须对这个策略进行验证, | ||
| 148 | 以便纠正不兼容的值。为了验证这些值,cpufreq_verify_within_limits(``struct cpufreq_policy | ||
| 149 | *policy``, ``unsigned int min_freq``, ``unsigned int max_freq``)函数可能会有帮助。 | ||
| 150 | 关于频率表助手的详细内容请参见第2节。 | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | 您需要确保至少有一个有效频率(或工作范围)在 policy->min 和 policy->max 范围内。如果有必 | ||
| 153 | 要,先增加policy->max,只有在没有办法的情况下,才减少policy->min。 | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | 1.4 target 或 target_index 或 setpolicy 或 fast_switch? | ||
| 157 | ------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 158 | |||
| 159 | 大多数cpufreq驱动甚至大多数cpu频率升降算法只允许将CPU频率设置为预定义的固定值。对于这些,你 | ||
| 160 | 可以使用->target(),->target_index()或->fast_switch()回调。 | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | 有些cpufreq功能的处理器可以自己在某些限制之间切换频率。这些应使用->setpolicy()回调。 | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | 1.5. target/target_index | ||
| 166 | ------------------------ | ||
| 167 | |||
| 168 | target_index调用有两个参数:``struct cpufreq_policy * policy``和``unsigned int`` | ||
| 169 | 索引(于列出的频率表)。 | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | 当调用这里时,CPUfreq驱动必须设置新的频率。实际频率必须由freq_table[index].frequency决定。 | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | 它应该总是在错误的情况下恢复到之前的频率(即policy->restore_freq),即使我们之前切换到中间频率。 | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | 已弃用 | ||
| 176 | ---------- | ||
| 177 | 目标调用有三个参数。``struct cpufreq_policy * policy``, unsigned int target_frequency, | ||
| 178 | unsigned int relation. | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | CPUfreq驱动在调用这里时必须设置新的频率。实际的频率必须使用以下规则来确定。 | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | - 紧跟 "目标频率"。 | ||
| 183 | - policy->min <= new_freq <= policy->max (这必须是有效的!!!) | ||
| 184 | - 如果 relation==CPUFREQ_REL_L,尝试选择一个高于或等于 target_freq 的 new_freq。("L代表 | ||
| 185 | 最低,但不能低于") | ||
| 186 | - 如果 relation==CPUFREQ_REL_H,尝试选择一个低于或等于 target_freq 的 new_freq。("H代表 | ||
| 187 | 最高,但不能高于") | ||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 这里,频率表助手可能会帮助你--详见第2节。 | ||
| 190 | |||
| 191 | 1.6. fast_switch | ||
| 192 | ---------------- | ||
| 193 | |||
| 194 | 这个函数用于从调度器的上下文进行频率切换。并非所有的驱动都要实现它,因为不允许在这个回调中睡眠。这 | ||
| 195 | 个回调必须经过高度优化,以尽可能快地进行切换。 | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | 这个函数有两个参数: ``struct cpufreq_policy *policy`` 和 ``unsigned int target_frequency``。 | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | 1.7 setpolicy | ||
| 201 | ------------- | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | setpolicy调用只需要一个``struct cpufreq_policy * policy``作为参数。需要将处理器内或芯片组内动态频 | ||
| 204 | 率切换的下限设置为policy->min,上限设置为policy->max,如果支持的话,当policy->policy为 | ||
| 205 | CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE时选择面向性能的设置,当CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE时选择面向省电的设置。 | ||
| 206 | 也可以查看drivers/cpufreq/longrun.c中的参考实现。 | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | 1.8 get_intermediate 和 target_intermediate | ||
| 209 | -------------------------------------------- | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 仅适用于 target_index() 和 CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION 未设置的驱动。 | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | get_intermediate应该返回一个平台想要切换到的稳定的中间频率,target_intermediate()应该将CPU设置为 | ||
| 214 | 该频率,然后再跳转到'index'对应的频率。核心会负责发送通知,驱动不必在target_intermediate()或 | ||
| 215 | target_index()中处理。 | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | 在驱动程序不想因为某个目标频率切换到中间频率的情况下,它们可以从get_intermediate()中返回'0'。在这种情况 | ||
| 218 | 下,核心将直接调用->target_index()。 | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | 注意:->target_index()应该在失败的情况下恢复到policy->restore_freq,因为core会为此发送通知。 | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | |||
| 223 | 2. 频率表助手 | ||
| 224 | ============= | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | 由于大多数cpufreq处理器只允许被设置为几个特定的频率,因此,一个带有一些函数的 “频率表”可能会辅助处理器驱动 | ||
| 227 | 程序的一些工作。这样的 "频率表" 由一个cpufreq_frequency_table条目构成的数组组成,"driver_data" 中包 | ||
| 228 | 含了驱动程序的具体数值,"frequency" 中包含了相应的频率,并设置了标志。在表的最后,需要添加一个 | ||
| 229 | cpufreq_frequency_table条目,频率设置为CPUFREQ_TABLE_END。而如果想跳过表中的一个条目,则将频率设置为 | ||
| 230 | CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID。这些条目不需要按照任何特定的顺序排序,但如果它们是cpufreq 核心会对它们进行快速的DVFS, | ||
| 231 | 因为搜索最佳匹配会更快。 | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | 如果策略在其policy->freq_table字段中包含一个有效的指针,cpufreq表就会被核心自动验证。 | ||
| 234 | |||
| 235 | cpufreq_frequency_table_verify()保证至少有一个有效的频率在policy->min和policy->max范围内,并且所有其他 | ||
| 236 | 标准都被满足。这对->verify调用很有帮助。 | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | cpufreq_frequency_table_target()是对应于->target阶段的频率表助手。只要把数值传递给这个函数,这个函数就会返 | ||
| 239 | 回包含CPU要设置的频率的频率表条目。 | ||
| 240 | |||
| 241 | 以下宏可以作为cpufreq_frequency_table的迭代器。 | ||
| 242 | |||
| 243 | cpufreq_for_each_entry(pos, table) - 遍历频率表的所有条目。 | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry(pos, table) - 该函数遍历所有条目,不包括CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID频率。 | ||
| 246 | 使用参数 "pos"-一个``cpufreq_frequency_table * `` 作为循环变量,使用参数 "table"-作为你想迭代 | ||
| 247 | 的``cpufreq_frequency_table * `` 。 | ||
| 248 | |||
| 249 | 例如:: | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | struct cpufreq_frequency_table *pos, *driver_freq_table; | ||
| 252 | |||
| 253 | cpufreq_for_each_entry(pos, driver_freq_table) { | ||
| 254 | /* Do something with pos */ | ||
| 255 | pos->frequency = ... | ||
| 256 | } | ||
| 257 | |||
| 258 | 如果你需要在driver_freq_table中处理pos的位置,不要减去指针,因为它的代价相当高。相反,使用宏 | ||
| 259 | cpufreq_for_each_entry_idx() 和 cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry_idx() 。 | ||

| 23 | 2. 提供的统计数据(举例说明) | ||
| 24 | 3. 配置cpufreq-stats | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 1. 简介 | ||
| 28 | =============== | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | cpufreq-stats是一个为每个CPU提供CPU频率统计的驱动。 | ||
| 31 | 这些统计数据在/sysfs中以一堆只读接口的形式提供。这个接口(在配置好后)将出现在 | ||
| 32 | /sysfs(<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/)中cpufreq下的一个单 | ||
| 33 | 独的目录中,提供给每个CPU。 | ||
| 34 | 各种统计数据将在此目录下形成只读文件。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 此驱动是独立于任何可能运行在你所用CPU上的特定cpufreq_driver而设计的。因此,它将与所有 | ||
| 37 | cpufreq_driver一起工作。 | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 2. 提供的统计数据(举例说明) | ||
| 41 | ===================================== | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | cpufreq stats提供了以下统计数据(在下面详细解释)。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | - time_in_state | ||
| 46 | - total_trans | ||
| 47 | - trans_table | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 所有的统计数据将从统计驱动被载入的时间(或统计被重置的时间)开始,到某一统计数据被读取的时间为止。 | ||
| 50 | 显然,统计驱动不会有任何关于统计驱动载入之前的频率转换信息。 | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | :: | ||

| 63 | - **reset** | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | 只写属性,可用于重置统计计数器。这对于评估不同调节器下的系统行为非常有用,且无需重启。 | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | - **time_in_state** | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | 此项给出了这个CPU所支持的每个频率所花费的时间。cat输出的每一行都会有"<frequency> | ||
| 71 | <time>"对,表示这个CPU在<frequency>上花费了<time>个usertime单位的时间。这里的 | ||
| 72 | usertime单位是10mS(类似于/proc中输出的其他时间)。 | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | :: | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat time_in_state | ||

| 82 | |||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | - **total_trans** | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | 给出了这个CPU上频率转换的总次数。cat的输出将有一个单一的计数,这就是频率转换的总数。 | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | :: | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat total_trans | ||
| 91 | 20 | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | - **trans_table** | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | 这将提供所有CPU频率转换的细粒度信息。这里的cat输出是一个二维矩阵,其中一个条目<i, j>(第 | ||
| 96 | i行,第j列)代表从Freq_i到Freq_j的转换次数。Freq_i行和Freq_j列遵循驱动最初提供给cpufreq | ||
| 97 | 核的频率表的排序顺序,因此可以排序(升序或降序)或不排序。 这里的输出也包含了每行每列的实际 | ||
| 98 | 频率值,以便更好地阅读。 | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 如果转换表大于PAGE_SIZE,读取时将返回一个-EFBIG错误。 | ||

| 113 | 3. 配置cpufreq-stats | ||
| 114 | ============================ | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 要在你的内核中配置cpufreq-stats:: | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | Config Main Menu | ||
| 119 | Power management options (ACPI, APM) ---> | ||
| 120 | CPU Frequency scaling ---> | ||
| 121 | [*] CPU Frequency scaling | ||
| 122 | [*] CPU frequency translation statistics | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | "CPU Frequency scaling" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ) 应该被启用以配置cpufreq-stats。 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | "CPU frequency translation statistics" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT)提供了包括 | ||
| 128 | time_in_state、total_trans和trans_table的统计数据。 | ||
| 129 | |||
| 130 | 一旦启用了这个选项,并且你的CPU支持cpufrequency,你就可以在/sysfs中看到CPU频率统计。 | ||

| 6 | 在Linux内核里使用gcov做代码覆盖率检查 | ||
| 7 | ===================================== | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | gcov分析核心支持在Linux内核中启用GCC的覆盖率测试工具 gcov_ ,Linux内核 | ||
| 10 | 运行时的代码覆盖率数据会以gcov兼容的格式导出到“gcov”debugfs目录中,可 | ||
| 11 | 以通过gcov的 ``-o`` 选项(如下示例)获得指定文件的代码运行覆盖率统计数据 | ||
| 12 | (需要跳转到内核编译路径下并且要有root权限):: | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | # cd /tmp/linux-out | ||
| 15 | # gcov -o /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/tmp/linux-out/kernel spinlock.c | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 这将在当前目录中创建带有执行计数注释的源代码文件。 | ||
| 18 | 在获得这些统计文件后,可以使用图形化的gcov前端工具(比如 lcov_ ),来实现 | ||
| 19 | 自动化处理Linux内核的覆盖率运行数据,同时生成易于阅读的HTML格式文件。 | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 可能的用途: | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | * 调试(用来判断每一行的代码是否已经运行过) | ||
| 24 | * 测试改进(如何修改测试代码,尽可能地覆盖到没有运行过的代码) | ||
| 25 | * 内核最小化配置(对于某一个选项配置,如果关联的代码从来没有运行过, | ||
| 26 | 是否还需要这个配置) | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | .. _gcov: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html | ||
| 29 | .. _lcov: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | 准备 | ||
| 33 | ---- | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 内核打开如下配置:: | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y | ||
| 38 | CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 获取整个内核的覆盖率数据,还需要打开:: | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 需要注意的是,整个内核开启覆盖率统计会造成内核镜像文件尺寸的增大, | ||
| 45 | 同时内核运行也会变慢一些。 | ||
| 46 | 另外,并不是所有的架构都支持整个内核开启覆盖率统计。 | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 代码运行覆盖率数据只在debugfs挂载完成后才可以访问:: | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 定制化 | ||
| 54 | ------ | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 如果要单独针对某一个路径或者文件进行代码覆盖率统计,可以在内核相应路 | ||
| 57 | 径的Makefile中增加如下的配置: | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | - 单独统计单个文件(例如main.o):: | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | - 单独统计某一个路径:: | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | GCOV_PROFILE := y | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | 如果要在整个内核的覆盖率统计(开启CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL)中单独排除 | ||
| 68 | 某一个文件或者路径,可以使用如下的方法:: | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | 和:: | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | GCOV_PROFILE := n | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 此机制仅支持链接到内核镜像或编译为内核模块的文件。 | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 相关文件 | ||
| 80 | -------- | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | gcov功能需要在debugfs中创建如下文件: | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | ``/sys/kernel/debug/gcov`` | ||
| 85 | gcov相关功能的根路径 | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | ``/sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset`` | ||
| 88 | 全局复位文件:向该文件写入数据后会将所有的gcov统计数据清0 | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | ``/sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcda`` | ||
| 91 | gcov工具可以识别的覆盖率统计数据文件,向该文件写入数据后 | ||
| 92 | 会将本文件的gcov统计数据清0 | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | ``/sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcno`` | ||
| 95 | gcov工具需要的软连接文件(指向编译时生成的信息统计文件),这个文件是 | ||
| 96 | 在gcc编译时如果配置了选项 ``-ftest-coverage`` 时生成的。 | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | 针对模块的统计 | ||
| 100 | -------------- | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 内核中的模块会动态的加载和卸载,模块卸载时对应的数据会被清除掉。 | ||
| 103 | gcov提供了一种机制,通过保留相关数据的副本来收集这部分卸载模块的覆盖率数据。 | ||
| 104 | 模块卸载后这些备份数据在debugfs中会继续存在。 | ||
| 105 | 一旦这个模块重新加载,模块关联的运行统计会被初始化成debugfs中备份的数据。 | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | 可以通过对内核参数gcov_persist的修改来停用gcov对模块的备份机制:: | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | gcov_persist = 0 | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | 在运行时,用户还可以通过写入模块的数据文件或者写入gcov复位文件来丢弃已卸 | ||
| 112 | 载模块的数据。 | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | 编译机和测试机分离 | ||
| 116 | ------------------ | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | gcov的内核分析插桩支持内核的编译和运行是在同一台机器上,也可以编译和运 | ||
| 119 | 行是在不同的机器上。 | ||
| 120 | 如果内核编译和运行是不同的机器,那么需要额外的准备工作,这取决于gcov工具 | ||
| 121 | 是在哪里使用的: | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | .. _gcov-test_zh: | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | a) 若gcov运行在测试机上 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | 测试机上面gcov工具的版本必须要跟内核编译机器使用的gcc版本相兼容, | ||
| 128 | 同时下面的文件要从编译机拷贝到测试机上: | ||
| 129 | |||
| 130 | 从源代码中: | ||
| 131 | - 所有的C文件和头文件 | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | 从编译目录中: | ||
| 134 | - 所有的C文件和头文件 | ||
| 135 | - 所有的.gcda文件和.gcno文件 | ||
| 136 | - 所有目录的链接 | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | 特别需要注意,测试机器上面的目录结构跟编译机器上面的目录机构必须 | ||
| 139 | 完全一致。 | ||
| 140 | 如果文件是软链接,需要替换成真正的目录文件(这是由make的当前工作 | ||
| 141 | 目录变量CURDIR引起的)。 | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | .. _gcov-build_zh: | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | b) 若gcov运行在编译机上 | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | 测试用例运行结束后,如下的文件需要从测试机中拷贝到编译机上: | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 从sysfs中的gcov目录中: | ||
| 150 | - 所有的.gcda文件 | ||
| 151 | - 所有的.gcno文件软链接 | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | 这些文件可以拷贝到编译机的任意目录下,gcov使用-o选项指定拷贝的 | ||
| 154 | 目录。 | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | 比如一个是示例的目录结构如下:: | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | /tmp/linux: 内核源码目录 | ||
| 159 | /tmp/out: 内核编译文件路径(make O=指定) | ||
| 160 | /tmp/coverage: 从测试机器上面拷贝的数据文件路径 | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | [user@build] cd /tmp/out | ||
| 163 | [user@build] gcov -o /tmp/coverage/tmp/out/init main.c | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | 关于编译器的注意事项 | ||
| 167 | -------------------- | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | GCC和LLVM gcov工具不一定兼容。 | ||
| 170 | 如果编译器是GCC,使用 gcov_ 来处理.gcno和.gcda文件,如果是Clang编译器, | ||
| 171 | 则使用 llvm-cov_ 。 | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | .. _gcov: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html | ||
| 174 | .. _llvm-cov: https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-cov.html | ||
| 175 | |||
| 176 | GCC和Clang gcov之间的版本差异由Kconfig处理的。 | ||
| 177 | kconfig会根据编译工具链的检查自动选择合适的gcov格式。 | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | 问题定位 | ||
| 180 | -------- | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | 可能出现的问题1 | ||
| 183 | 编译到链接阶段报错终止 | ||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | 问题原因 | ||
| 186 | 分析标志指定在了源文件但是没有链接到主内核,或者客制化了链接程序 | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | 解决方法 | ||
| 189 | 通过在相应的Makefile中使用 ``GCOV_PROFILE := n`` | ||
| 190 | 或者 ``GCOV_PROFILE_basename.o := n`` 来将链接报错的文件排除掉 | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 可能出现的问题2 | ||
| 193 | 从sysfs复制的文件显示为空或不完整 | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | 问题原因 | ||
| 196 | 由于seq_file的工作方式,某些工具(例如cp或tar)可能无法正确地从 | ||
| 197 | sysfs复制文件。 | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | 解决方法 | ||
| 200 | 使用 ``cat`` 读取 ``.gcda`` 文件,使用 ``cp -d`` 复制链接,或者使用附录B | ||
| 201 | 中所示的机制。 | ||

| 9 | 如何帮助改进内核文档 | ||
| 10 | ==================== | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 在任何软件开发项目中,文档都是重要组成部分。好的文档有助于引入新的开发人员, | ||
| 13 | 并帮助已有的开发人员更有效地工作。如果缺少高质量的文档,大量的时间就会浪费在 | ||
| 14 | 代码的逆向工程和犯本可避免的错误上。 | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | 不幸的是,内核的文档目前远远不能满足支持如此规模和重要性的项目的需要。 | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 本指南适用于希望帮助改善这种状况的贡献者。内核文档的改进可以由开发者在不同的 | ||
| 19 | 技能层级上进行;这也是一条相对简单可以帮助您了解内核过程并在社区中找到一席之 | ||
| 20 | 地的路径。下面的大部分内容是文档维护人员列出的最迫切需要完成的任务。 | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 文档待办事项列表 | ||
| 23 | ---------------- | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | 为了使我们的文档达到应有的水平,需要完成的任务数不胜数。此列表包含许多重要的 | ||
| 26 | 项目,但还远远不够详尽;如果您知道改进文档的其他方法,请不要羞于启齿。 | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 消除警告(WARNING) | ||
| 29 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 文档构建目前出现了数量惊人的警告。虱子多了不痒,债多了不愁;大伙儿忽略了它们, | ||
| 32 | 他们永远不会注意到他们的工作增加了新的警告。因此,消除警告是文档待办事项列表 | ||
| 33 | 中优先级最高的任务之一。这项任务本身相当简单,但必须以正确的方式进行,才能取 | ||
| 34 | 得成功。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | C代码编译器发出的警告常常会被视为误报,从而导致出现了旨在让编译器闭嘴的补丁。 | ||
| 37 | 文档构建中的警告几乎总是指向真正的问题;要消除这些警告,需要理解问题并从源头上 | ||
| 38 | 解决问题。因此,修复文档警告的补丁不应在标题中直接写“修复警告”;它们应该指明 | ||
| 39 | 真正修复的问题。 | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 另一个重点是,文档警告常常由C代码里kernel-doc注释中的问题引起。虽然文档维护 | ||
| 42 | 人员对收到这些修复补丁的副本表示感谢,但是文档树实际上通常并不适合接受这些 | ||
| 43 | 补丁;它们应该被交给相关子系统的维护人员。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 例如,在一次文档构建中,我几乎是随意选取了一对警告:: | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1818: warning: bad line: | ||
| 48 | - Resource-managed devfreq_register_notifier() | ||
| 49 | ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1854: warning: bad line: | ||
| 50 | - Resource-managed devfreq_unregister_notifier() | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | (作了断行以便于阅读) | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | 简单看一下上面给出的源文件,会发现几个kernel-doc注释,如下所示:: | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | /** | ||
| 57 | * devm_devfreq_register_notifier() | ||
| 58 | - Resource-managed devfreq_register_notifier() | ||
| 59 | * @dev: The devfreq user device. (parent of devfreq) | ||
| 60 | * @devfreq: The devfreq object. | ||
| 61 | * @nb: The notifier block to be unregistered. | ||
| 62 | * @list: DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER. | ||
| 63 | */ | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | 问题在于缺了一个“*”,这不符合构建系统对C注释块的格式要求。此问题自2016年注释 | ||
| 66 | 被添加以来一直存在——整整四年之久。修复它只需要添加丢失的星号。看一眼该文件的 | ||
| 67 | 历史记录以了解主题行的常规格式是什么样,再使用 ``scripts/get_maintainer.pl`` | ||
| 68 | 来搞清谁应当收到此补丁。生成的补丁如下所示:: | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | [PATCH] PM / devfreq: Fix two malformed kerneldoc comments | ||

| 72 | Two kerneldoc comments in devfreq.c fail to adhere to the required format, | ||
| 73 | resulting in these doc-build warnings: | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1818: warning: bad line: | ||
| 76 | - Resource-managed devfreq_register_notifier() | ||
| 77 | ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1854: warning: bad line: | ||
| 78 | - Resource-managed devfreq_unregister_notifier() | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | Add a couple of missing asterisks and make kerneldoc a little happier. | ||

| 112 | 整个过程只花了几分钟。当然,我后来发现有人在另一个树中修复了它,这亮出了另一 | ||
| 113 | 个教训:在深入研究问题之前,一定要检查linux-next树,看看问题是否已经修复。 | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | 其他修复可能需要更长的时间,尤其是那些与缺少文档的结构体成员或函数参数相关的 | ||
| 116 | 修复。这种情况下,需要找出这些成员或参数的作用,并正确描述它们。总之,这种 | ||
| 117 | 任务有时会有点乏味,但它非常重要。如果我们真的可以从文档构建中消除警告,那么 | ||
| 118 | 我们就可以开始期望开发人员开始注意避免添加新的警告了。 | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | “迷失的”kernel-doc注释 | ||
| 121 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | 开发者被鼓励去为他们的代码写kernel-doc注释,但是许多注释从未被引入文档构建。 | ||
| 124 | 这使得这些信息更难找到,例如使Sphinx无法生成指向该文档的链接。将 ``kernel-doc`` | ||
| 125 | 指令添加到文档中以引入这些注释可以帮助社区获得为编写注释所做工作的全部价值。 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | ``scripts/find-unused-docs.sh`` 工具可以用来找到这些被忽略的评论。 | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | 请注意,将导出的函数和数据结构引入文档是最有价值的。许多子系统还具有供内部 | ||
| 130 | 使用的kernel-doc注释;除非这些注释放在专门针对相关子系统开发人员的文档中, | ||
| 131 | 否则不应将其引入文档构建中。 | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | 修正错字 | ||
| 135 | ~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | 修复文档中的排版或格式错误是一种快速学习如何创建和发送修补程序的方法,也是 | ||
| 139 | 一项有用的服务。我总是愿意接受这样的补丁。这也意味着,一旦你修复了一些这种 | ||
| 140 | 错误,请考虑转移到更高级的任务,留下一些拼写错误给下一个初学者解决。 | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | 请注意,有些并 **不是** 拼写错误,不应该被“修复”: | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | - 内核文档中用美式和英式英语拼写皆可,没有必要互相倒换。 | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | - 在内核文档中,没必要讨论句点后面应该跟一个还是两个空格的问题。其他一些有 | ||
| 147 | 合理分歧的地方,比如“牛津逗号”,在这也是跑题的。 | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 与对任何项目的任何补丁一样,请考虑您的更改是否真的让事情变得更好。 | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | “上古”文档 | ||
| 152 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | 一些内核文档是最新的、被维护的,并且非常有用,有些文件确并非如此。尘封、陈旧 | ||
| 155 | 和不准确的文档可能会误导读者,并对我们的整个文档产生怀疑。任何解决这些问题的 | ||
| 156 | 事情都是非常受欢迎的。 | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | 无论何时处理文档,请考虑它是否是最新的,是否需要更新,或者是否应该完全删除。 | ||
| 159 | 您可以注意以下几个警告标志: | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | - 对2.x内核的引用 | ||
| 162 | - 指向SourceForge存储库 | ||
| 163 | - 历史记录除了拼写错误啥也没有持续几年 | ||
| 164 | - 讨论Git之前时代的工作流 | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | 当然,最好的办法是更新文档,添加所需的任何信息。这样的工作通常需要与熟悉相关 | ||
| 167 | 子系统的开发人员合作。当有人善意地询问开发人员,并听取他们的回答然后采取 | ||
| 168 | 行动时,开发人员通常更愿意与这些致力于改进文档的人员合作。 | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | 有些文档已经没希望了;例如,我们偶尔会发现引用了很久以前从内核中删除的代码的 | ||
| 171 | 文档。删除过时的文档会碰见令人惊讶的阻力,但我们无论如何都应该这样做。文档中 | ||
| 172 | 多余的粗枝大叶对任何人都没有帮助。 | ||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | 如果一个严重过时的文档中可能有一些有用的信息,而您又无法更新它,那么最好在 | ||
| 175 | 开头添加一个警告。建议使用以下文本:: | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | .. warning :: | ||
| 178 | This document is outdated and in need of attention. Please use | ||
| 179 | this information with caution, and please consider sending patches | ||
| 180 | to update it. | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | 这样的话,至少我们长期受苦的读者会得到文件可能会把他们引入歧途的警告。 | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | 文档一致性 | ||
| 185 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | 这里的老前辈们会记得上世纪90年代出现在书架上的Linux书籍,它们只是从网上不同 | ||
| 188 | 位置搜来的文档文件的集合。在此之后,(大部分)这些书都得到了改进,但是内核的 | ||
| 189 | 文档仍然主要是建立在这种模型上。它有数千个文件,几乎每个文件都是与其他文件相 | ||
| 190 | 独立编写的。我们没有一个连贯的内核文档;只有数千个独立的文档。 | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 我们一直试图通过编篡一套“书籍”来改善这种情况,以为特定读者提供成套文档。这 | ||
| 193 | 包括: | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | - Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/index.rst | ||
| 196 | - Documentation/core-api/index.rst | ||
| 197 | - Documentation/driver-api/index.rst | ||
| 198 | - Documentation/userspace-api/index.rst | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | 以及文档本身这本“书”。 | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | 将文档移到适当的书中是一项重要的任务,需要继续进行。不过这项工作还是有一些 | ||
| 203 | 挑战性。移动文档会给处理这些文档的人带来短期的痛苦;他们对这些更改无甚热情 | ||
| 204 | 也是可以理解的。通常情况下,可以将一个文档移动一下;不过我们真的不想一直移动 | ||
| 205 | 它们。 | ||
| 206 | |||
| 207 | 即使所有文件都在正确的位置,我们也只是把一大堆文件变成一群小堆文件。试图将 | ||
| 208 | 所有这些文件组合成一个整体的工作尚未开始。如果你对如何在这方面取得进展有好的 | ||
| 209 | 想法,我们将很高兴了解。 | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 样式表(Stylesheet)改进 | ||
| 212 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | 随着Sphinx的采用,我们得到了比以前更好的HTML输出。但它仍然需要很大的改进; | ||
| 215 | Donald Knuth和Edward Tufte可能是映像平平的。这需要调整我们的样式表,以创建 | ||
| 216 | 更具排版效果、可访问性和可读性的输出。 | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | 请注意:如果你承担这个任务,你将进入经典的两难领域。即使是相对明显的变化, | ||
| 219 | 也会有很多意见和讨论。唉,这就是我们生活的世界的本质。 | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | 无LaTeX的PDF构建 | ||
| 222 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | 对于拥有大量时间和Python技能的人来说,这绝对是一项不平凡的任务。Sphinx工具链 | ||
| 225 | 相对较小且包含良好;很容易添加到开发系统中。但是构建PDF或EPUB输出需要安装 | ||
| 226 | LaTeX,它绝对称不上小或包含良好的。消除Latex将是一件很好的事情。 | ||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | 最初是希望使用 `rst2pdf <https://rst2pdf.org/>`_ 工具来生成PDF,但结果发现 | ||
| 229 | 无法胜任这项任务。不过rst2pdf的开发工作最近似乎又有了起色,这是个充满希望的 | ||
| 230 | 迹象。如果有开发人员愿意与该项目合作,使rst2pdf可与内核文档构建一起工作, | ||
| 231 | 大家会非常感激。 | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | 编写更多文档 | ||
| 234 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | 当然,内核中许多部分的文档严重不足。如果您有编写一个特定内核子系统文档的相应 | ||
| 237 | 知识并愿意这样做,请不要犹豫,编写并向内核贡献结果吧!数不清的内核开发人员和 | ||
| 238 | 用户会感谢你。 | ||

| 7 | 编写kernel-doc注释 | ||
| 8 | ================== | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Linux内核源文件可以包含kernel-doc格式的结构化文档注释,用以描述代码的函数、 | ||
| 11 | 类型和设计。将文档嵌入源文件更容易保持文档最新。 | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | .. note:: 内核文档格式与javadoc、gtk-doc或Doxygen看似很相似,但由于历史原因, | ||
| 14 | 实际有着明显的不同。内核源包含成千上万个kernel-doc注释。请坚持遵循 | ||
| 15 | 此处描述的风格。 | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | .. note:: kernel-doc无法包含Rust代码:请参考 Documentation/rust/docs.rst 。 | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | 从注释中提取kernel-doc结构,并从中生成适当的 `Sphinx C 域`_ 函数和带有锚点的 | ||
| 20 | 类型描述。这些注释将被过滤以生成特殊kernel-doc高亮和交叉引用。详见下文。 | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | .. _Sphinx C 域: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/domains.html | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 使用 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` 或 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` 导出到可加载模块的每个函数都 | ||
| 25 | 应该有一个kernel-doc注释。模块使用的头文件中的函数和数据结构也应该有 | ||
| 26 | kernel-doc注释。 | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | 对于其他内核文件(未标记为 ``static`` )中外部可见的函数,提供kernel-doc格式 | ||
| 29 | 的文档是一个很好的实践。我们也建议为私有(文件 ``static`` )程序提供kernel-doc | ||
| 30 | 格式的文档,以确保内核源代码布局的一致性。此建议优先级较低,由内核源文件的 | ||
| 31 | 维护者自行决定。 | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | 如何格式化kernel-doc注释 | ||
| 34 | ------------------------ | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | kernel-doc注释用 ``/**`` 作为开始标记。 ``kernel-doc`` 工具将提取以这种方式 | ||
| 37 | 标记的注释。注释其余部分的格式类似于一个普通的多行注释,左侧有一列星号,以 | ||
| 38 | ``*/`` 行结束。 | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | 函数和类型的kernel-doc注释应该放在所描述的函数或类型之前,以便最大限度地提高 | ||
| 41 | 更改代码的人同时更改文档的可能性。概述kernel-doc注释可以放在最顶部的任何地方。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 用详细模式和不生成实际输出来运行 ``kernel-doc`` 工具,可以验证文档注释的格式 | ||
| 44 | 是否正确。例如:: | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | scripts/kernel-doc -v -none drivers/foo/bar.c | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 当请求执行额外的gcc检查时,内核构建将验证文档格式:: | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | make W=n | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | 函数文档 | ||
| 53 | -------- | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | 函数和函数式宏的kernel-doc注释的一般格式是:: | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | /** | ||
| 58 | * 函数名() - 函数简要说明. | ||
| 59 | * @参数1: 描述第一个参数. | ||
| 60 | * @参数2: 描述第二个参数. | ||
| 61 | * 可以为参数提供一段 | ||
| 62 | * 多行描述. | ||
| 63 | * | ||
| 64 | * 更详细的描述,进一步讨论函数 函数名(), 这可能对使用或修改它的人有用. | ||
| 65 | * 以空注释行开始, 内部可以包含空注释行. | ||
| 66 | * | ||
| 67 | * 详细描述可以有多个段落. | ||
| 68 | * | ||
| 69 | * Context: 描述函数是否可以休眠, 它需要、释放或期望持有什么锁. | ||
| 70 | * 可以写多行. | ||
| 71 | * Return: 描述函数返回值. | ||
| 72 | * | ||
| 73 | * 返回值描述也可以有多个段落, | ||
| 74 | * 并且应该放在注释块的末尾. | ||
| 75 | */ | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | 函数名后面的简短描述可以跨多行,并以参数描述、空注释行或注释块结尾结束。 | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 函数参数 | ||
| 80 | ~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | 每个函数参数都应该按照顺序描述,紧跟在函数简要说明之后。不要在函数描述和参数 | ||
| 83 | 之间,也不要在参数之间留空。 | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | 每个 ``@参数:`` 描述可以跨多行。 | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | .. note:: | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | 如果 ``@参数`` 描述有多行,则说明的续行应该从上一行的同一列开始:: | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | * @参数: 较长说明 | ||
| 92 | * 的续行 | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | 或:: | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | * @参数: | ||
| 97 | * 较长说明 | ||
| 98 | * 的续行 | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | 如果函数的参数数目可变,则需用kernel-doc格式对其进行描述:: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | * @...: 描述 | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | 函数上下文 | ||
| 105 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | 可调用函数的上下文应该在 ``Context`` 节中描述。此节应该包括函数是休眠的还是 | ||
| 108 | 可以从中断上下文调用的,以及它需要什么锁、释放什么锁和期望它的调用者持有什么 | ||
| 109 | 锁。 | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | 例如:: | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | * Context: Any context. | ||
| 114 | * Context: Any context. Takes and releases the RCU lock. | ||
| 115 | * Context: Any context. Expects <lock> to be held by caller. | ||
| 116 | * Context: Process context. May sleep if @gfp flags permit. | ||
| 117 | * Context: Process context. Takes and releases <mutex>. | ||
| 118 | * Context: Softirq or process context. Takes and releases <lock>, BH-safe. | ||
| 119 | * Context: Interrupt context. | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | 返回值 | ||
| 122 | ~~~~~~ | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | 如有返回值,应在 ``Return`` 节中描述。 | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | .. note:: | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | #) 您提供的多行描述文本 *不会* 识别换行符,因此如果您想将某些文本预格式化, | ||
| 129 | 如:: | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | * Return: | ||
| 132 | * 0 - OK | ||
| 133 | * -EINVAL - invalid argument | ||
| 134 | * -ENOMEM - out of memory | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | 它们在最终文档中变成一行:: | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | Return: 0 - OK -EINVAL - invalid argument -ENOMEM - out of memory | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | 因此,为了在需要的地方换行,您需要使用ReST列表,例如:: | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | * Return: | ||
| 143 | * * 0 - OK to runtime suspend the device | ||
| 144 | * * -EBUSY - Device should not be runtime suspended | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | #) 如果您提供的描述性文本中的行以某个后跟冒号的短语开头,则每一个这种短语 | ||
| 147 | 都将被视为新的节标题,可能会产生意料不到的效果。 | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 结构体、共用体、枚举类型文档 | ||
| 150 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | 结构体(struct)、共用体(union)、枚举(enum)类型kernel-doc注释的一般格式为:: | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | /** | ||
| 155 | * struct 结构体名 - 简要描述. | ||
| 156 | * @成员1: 成员1描述. | ||
| 157 | * @成员2: 成员2描述. | ||
| 158 | * 可以为成员提供 | ||
| 159 | * 多行描述. | ||
| 160 | * | ||
| 161 | * 结构体的描述. | ||
| 162 | */ | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | 可以用 ``union`` 或 ``enum`` 替换上面示例中的 ``struct`` ,以描述共用体或枚举。 | ||
| 165 | ``成员`` 用于表示枚举中的元素或共用体成员。 | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | 结构体名称后面的简要说明可以跨多行,并以成员说明、空白注释行或注释块结尾结束。 | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | 成员 | ||
| 170 | ~~~~ | ||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | 结构体、共用体和枚举的成员应以与函数参数相同的方式记录;它们后紧跟简短的描述, | ||
| 173 | 并且为多行。 | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | 在结构体或共用体描述中,可以使用 ``private:`` 和 ``public:`` 注释标签。 | ||
| 176 | ``private:`` 域内的字段不会列在生成的文档中。 | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | ``private:`` 和 ``public:`` 标签必须紧跟在 ``/*`` 注释标记之后。可以选择是否 | ||
| 179 | 在 ``:`` 和 ``*/`` 结束标记之间包含注释。 | ||
| 180 | |||
| 181 | 例子:: | ||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | /** | ||
| 184 | * struct 张三 - 简短描述 | ||
| 185 | * @a: 第一个成员 | ||
| 186 | * @b: 第二个成员 | ||
| 187 | * @d: 第三个成员 | ||
| 188 | * | ||
| 189 | * 详细描述 | ||
| 190 | */ | ||
| 191 | struct 张三 { | ||
| 192 | int a; | ||
| 193 | int b; | ||
| 194 | /* private: 仅内部使用 */ | ||
| 195 | int c; | ||
| 196 | /* public: 下一个是公有的 */ | ||
| 197 | int d; | ||
| 198 | }; | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | 嵌套的结构体/共用体 | ||
| 201 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | 嵌套的结构体/共用体可像这样记录:: | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | /** | ||
| 206 | * struct nested_foobar - a struct with nested unions and structs | ||
| 207 | * @memb1: first member of anonymous union/anonymous struct | ||
| 208 | * @memb2: second member of anonymous union/anonymous struct | ||
| 209 | * @memb3: third member of anonymous union/anonymous struct | ||
| 210 | * @memb4: fourth member of anonymous union/anonymous struct | ||
| 211 | * @bar: non-anonymous union | ||
| 212 | * @bar.st1: struct st1 inside @bar | ||
| 213 | * @bar.st2: struct st2 inside @bar | ||
| 214 | * @bar.st1.memb1: first member of struct st1 on union bar | ||
| 215 | * @bar.st1.memb2: second member of struct st1 on union bar | ||
| 216 | * @bar.st2.memb1: first member of struct st2 on union bar | ||
| 217 | * @bar.st2.memb2: second member of struct st2 on union bar | ||
| 218 | */ | ||
| 219 | struct nested_foobar { | ||
| 220 | /* Anonymous union/struct*/ | ||
| 221 | union { | ||
| 222 | struct { | ||
| 223 | int memb1; | ||
| 224 | int memb2; | ||
| 225 | }; | ||
| 226 | struct { | ||
| 227 | void *memb3; | ||
| 228 | int memb4; | ||
| 229 | }; | ||
| 230 | }; | ||
| 231 | union { | ||
| 232 | struct { | ||
| 233 | int memb1; | ||
| 234 | int memb2; | ||
| 235 | } st1; | ||
| 236 | struct { | ||
| 237 | void *memb1; | ||
| 238 | int memb2; | ||
| 239 | } st2; | ||
| 240 | } bar; | ||
| 241 | }; | ||
| 242 | |||
| 243 | .. note:: | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | #) 在记录嵌套结构体或共用体时,如果结构体/共用体 ``张三`` 已命名,则其中 | ||
| 246 | 的成员 ``李四`` 应记录为 ``@张三.李四:`` | ||
| 247 | |||
| 248 | #) 当嵌套结构体/共用体是匿名的时,其中的成员 ``李四`` 应记录为 ``@李四:`` | ||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | 行间注释文档 | ||
| 251 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 252 | |||
| 253 | 结构成员也可在定义时以行间注释形式记录。有两种样式,一种是单行注释,其中开始 | ||
| 254 | ``/**`` 和结束 ``*/`` 位于同一行;另一种是多行注释,开头结尾各自位于一行,就 | ||
| 255 | 像所有其他核心文档注释一样:: | ||
| 256 | |||
| 257 | /** | ||
| 258 | * struct 张三 - 简短描述. | ||
| 259 | * @张三: 成员张三. | ||
| 260 | */ | ||
| 261 | struct 张三 { | ||
| 262 | int 张三; | ||
| 263 | /** | ||
| 264 | * @李四: 成员李四. | ||
| 265 | */ | ||
| 266 | int 李四; | ||
| 267 | /** | ||
| 268 | * @王五: 成员王五. | ||
| 269 | * | ||
| 270 | * 此处,成员描述可以为好几段. | ||
| 271 | */ | ||
| 272 | int 王五; | ||
| 273 | union { | ||
| 274 | /** @儿子: 单行描述. */ | ||
| 275 | int 儿子; | ||
| 276 | }; | ||
| 277 | /** @赵六: 描述@张三里面的结构体@赵六 */ | ||
| 278 | struct { | ||
| 279 | /** | ||
| 280 | * @赵六.女儿: 描述@张三.赵六里面的@女儿 | ||
| 281 | */ | ||
| 282 | int 女儿; | ||
| 283 | } 赵六; | ||
| 284 | }; | ||
| 285 | |||
| 286 | Typedef文档 | ||
| 287 | ----------- | ||
| 288 | |||
| 289 | Typedef的kernel-doc文档注释的一般格式为:: | ||
| 290 | |||
| 291 | /** | ||
| 292 | * typedef 类型名称 - 简短描述. | ||
| 293 | * | ||
| 294 | * 类型描述. | ||
| 295 | */ | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | 还可以记录带有函数原型的typedef:: | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | /** | ||
| 300 | * typedef 类型名称 - 简短描述. | ||
| 301 | * @参数1: 参数1的描述 | ||
| 302 | * @参数2: 参数2的描述 | ||
| 303 | * | ||
| 304 | * 类型描述. | ||
| 305 | * | ||
| 306 | * Context: 锁(Locking)上下文. | ||
| 307 | * Return: 返回值的意义. | ||
| 308 | */ | ||
| 309 | typedef void (*类型名称)(struct v4l2_ctrl *参数1, void *参数2); | ||
| 310 | |||
| 311 | 高亮与交叉引用 | ||
| 312 | -------------- | ||
| 313 | |||
| 314 | 在kernel-doc注释的描述文本中可以识别以下特殊模式,并将其转换为正确的 | ||
| 315 | reStructuredText标记和 `Sphinx C 域`_ 引用。 | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | .. attention:: 以下内容 **仅** 在kernel-doc注释中识别, **不会** 在普通的 | ||
| 318 | reStructuredText文档中识别。 | ||
| 319 | |||
| 320 | ``funcname()`` | ||
| 321 | 函数引用。 | ||
| 322 | |||
| 323 | ``@parameter`` | ||
| 324 | 函数参数的名称(未交叉引用,仅格式化)。 | ||
| 325 | |||
| 326 | ``%CONST`` | ||
| 327 | 常量的名称(未交叉引用,仅格式化)。 | ||
| 328 | |||
| 329 | ````literal```` | ||
| 330 | 预格式化文本块。输出将使用等距字体。 | ||
| 331 | |||
| 332 | 若你需要使用在kernel-doc脚本或reStructuredText中有特殊含义的字符,则此功能 | ||
| 333 | 非常有用。 | ||
| 334 | |||
| 335 | 若你需要在函数描述中使用类似于 ``%ph`` 的东西,这特别有用。 | ||
| 336 | |||
| 337 | ``$ENVVAR`` | ||
| 338 | 环境变量名称(未交叉引用,仅格式化)。 | ||
| 339 | |||
| 340 | ``&struct name`` | ||
| 341 | 结构体引用。 | ||
| 342 | |||
| 343 | ``&enum name`` | ||
| 344 | 枚举引用。 | ||
| 345 | |||
| 346 | ``&typedef name`` | ||
| 347 | Typedef引用。 | ||
| 348 | |||
| 349 | ``&struct_name->member`` or ``&struct_name.member`` | ||
| 350 | 结构体或共用体成员引用。交叉引用将链接到结构体或共用体定义,而不是直接到成员。 | ||
| 351 | |||
| 352 | ``&name`` | ||
| 353 | 泛类型引用。请首选上面描述的完整引用方式。此法主要是为了可能未描述的注释。 | ||
| 354 | |||
| 355 | 从reStructuredText交叉引用 | ||
| 356 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 357 | |||
| 358 | 无需额外的语法来从reStructuredText文档交叉引用kernel-do注释中定义的函数和类型。 | ||
| 359 | 只需以 ``()`` 结束函数名,并在类型之前写上 ``struct`` , ``union`` , ``enum`` | ||
| 360 | 或 ``typedef`` 。 | ||
| 361 | 例如:: | ||
| 362 | |||
| 363 | See foo(). | ||
| 364 | See struct foo. | ||
| 365 | See union bar. | ||
| 366 | See enum baz. | ||
| 367 | See typedef meh. | ||
| 368 | |||
| 369 | 若要在交叉引用链接中使用自定义文本,可以通过以下语法进行:: | ||
| 370 | |||
| 371 | See :c:func:`my custom link text for function foo <foo>`. | ||
| 372 | See :c:type:`my custom link text for struct bar <bar>`. | ||
| 373 | |||
| 374 | 有关更多详细信息,请参阅 `Sphinx C 域`_ 文档。 | ||
| 375 | |||
| 376 | 总述性文档注释 | ||
| 377 | -------------- | ||
| 378 | |||
| 379 | 为了促进源代码和注释紧密联合,可以将kernel-doc文档块作为自由形式的注释,而 | ||
| 380 | 不是函数、结构、联合、枚举或typedef的绑定kernel-doc。例如,这可以用于解释 | ||
| 381 | 驱动程序或库代码的操作理论。 | ||
| 382 | |||
| 383 | 这是通过使用带有节标题的 ``DOC:`` 节关键字来实现的。 | ||
| 384 | |||
| 385 | 总述或高层级文档注释的一般格式为:: | ||
| 386 | |||
| 387 | /** | ||
| 388 | * DOC: Theory of Operation | ||
| 389 | * | ||
| 390 | * The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you | ||
| 391 | * want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works. | ||
| 392 | * | ||
| 393 | * foo bar splat | ||
| 394 | * | ||
| 395 | * The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage | ||
| 396 | * hardware, software, or its subject(s). | ||
| 397 | */ | ||
| 398 | |||
| 399 | ``DOC:`` 后面的标题用作源文件中的标题,但也用作提取文档注释的标识符。因此, | ||
| 400 | 文件中的标题必须是唯一的。 | ||
| 401 | |||
| 402 | 包含kernel-doc注释 | ||
| 403 | ================== | ||
| 404 | |||
| 405 | 文档注释可以被包含在任何使用专用kernel-doc Sphinx指令扩展的reStructuredText | ||
| 406 | 文档中。 | ||
| 407 | |||
| 408 | kernel-doc指令的格式如下:: | ||
| 409 | |||
| 410 | .. kernel-doc:: source | ||
| 411 | :option: | ||
| 412 | |||
| 413 | *source* 是相对于内核源代码树的源文件路径。 | ||
| 414 | 支持以下指令选项: | ||
| 415 | |||
| 416 | export: *[source-pattern ...]* | ||
| 417 | 包括 *source* 中使用 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` 或 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` 导出的所有 | ||
| 418 | 函数的文档,无论是在 *source* 中还是在 *source-pattern* 指定的任何文件中。 | ||
| 419 | |||
| 420 | 当kernel-doc注释被放置在头文件中,而 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` 和 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` | ||
| 421 | 位于函数定义旁边时, *source-pattern* 非常有用。 | ||
| 422 | |||
| 423 | 例子:: | ||
| 424 | |||
| 425 | .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c | ||
| 426 | :export: | ||
| 427 | |||
| 428 | .. kernel-doc:: include/net/mac80211.h | ||
| 429 | :export: net/mac80211/*.c | ||
| 430 | |||
| 431 | internal: *[source-pattern ...]* | ||
| 432 | 包括 *source* 中所有在 *source* 或 *source-pattern* 的任何文件中都没有使用 | ||
| 433 | ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` 或 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` 导出的函数和类型的文档。 | ||
| 434 | |||
| 435 | 例子:: | ||
| 436 | |||
| 437 | .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c | ||
| 438 | :internal: | ||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | identifiers: *[ function/type ...]* | ||
| 441 | 在 *source* 中包含每个 *function* 和 *type* 的文档。如果没有指定 *function* , | ||
| 442 | 则 *source* 中所有函数和类型的文档都将包含在内。 | ||
| 443 | |||
| 444 | 例子:: | ||
| 445 | |||
| 446 | .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c | ||
| 447 | :identifiers: bitmap_parselist bitmap_parselist_user | ||
| 448 | |||
| 449 | .. kernel-doc:: lib/idr.c | ||
| 450 | :identifiers: | ||
| 451 | |||
| 452 | no-identifiers: *[ function/type ...]* | ||
| 453 | 排除 *source* 中所有 *function* 和 *type* 的文档。 | ||
| 454 | |||
| 455 | 例子:: | ||
| 456 | |||
| 457 | .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c | ||
| 458 | :no-identifiers: bitmap_parselist | ||
| 459 | |||
| 460 | functions: *[ function/type ...]* | ||
| 461 | 这是“identifiers”指令的别名,已弃用。 | ||
| 462 | |||
| 463 | doc: *title* | ||
| 464 | 包含 *source* 中由 *title* 标题标识的 ``DOC:`` 文档段落。 *title* 中允许 | ||
| 465 | 空格;不要在 *title* 上加引号。 *title* 仅用作段落的标识符,不包含在输出中。 | ||
| 466 | 请确保在所附的reStructuredText文档中有适当的标题。 | ||
| 467 | |||
| 468 | 例子:: | ||
| 469 | |||
| 470 | .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c | ||
| 471 | :doc: High Definition Audio over HDMI and Display Port | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | 如果没有选项,kernel-doc指令将包含源文件中的所有文档注释。 | ||
| 474 | |||
| 475 | kernel-doc扩展包含在内核源代码树中,位于 ``Documentation/sphinx/kerneldoc.py`` 。 | ||
| 476 | 在内部,它使用 ``scripts/kernel-doc`` 脚本从源代码中提取文档注释。 | ||
| 477 | |||
| 478 | .. _kernel_doc_zh: | ||
| 479 | |||
| 480 | 如何使用kernel-doc生成手册(man)页 | ||
| 481 | ----------------------------------- | ||
| 482 | |||
| 483 | 如果您只想使用kernel-doc生成手册页,可以从内核git树这样做:: | ||
| 484 | |||
| 485 | $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \ | ||
| 486 | $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- :^Documentation :^tools) \ | ||
| 487 | | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man | ||
| 488 | |||
| 489 | 一些旧版本的git不支持路径排除语法的某些变体。 | ||
| 490 | 以下命令之一可能适用于这些版本:: | ||
| 491 | |||
| 492 | $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \ | ||
| 493 | $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ':!Documentation' ':!tools') \ | ||
| 494 | | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man | ||
| 495 | |||
| 496 | $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \ | ||
| 497 | $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ":(exclude)Documentation" ":(exclude)tools") \ | ||
| 498 | | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man | ||

| 9 | 文档子系统维护人员条目概述 | ||
| 10 | ========================== | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 文档“子系统”是内核文档和相关基础设施的中心协调点。它涵盖了 Documentation/ 下 | ||
| 13 | 的文件层级(Documentation/devicetree 除外)、scripts/ 下的各种实用程序,并且 | ||
| 14 | 在某些情况下的也包括 LICENSES/ 。 | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | 不过值得注意的是,这个子系统的边界比通常更加模糊。许多其他子系统维护人员需要 | ||
| 17 | 保持对 Documentation/ 某些部分的控制,以便于可以更自由地做更改。除此之外, | ||
| 18 | 许多内核文档都以kernel-doc注释的形式出现在源代码中;这些注释通常(但不总是) | ||
| 19 | 由相关的子系统维护人员维护。 | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 文档子系统的邮件列表是<linux-doc@vger.kernel.org>。 | ||
| 22 | 补丁应尽量针对docs-next树。 | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 提交检查单补遗 | ||
| 25 | -------------- | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 在进行文档更改时,您应当构建文档以测试,并确保没有引入新的错误或警告。生成 | ||
| 28 | HTML文档并查看结果将有助于避免对文档渲染结果的不必要争执。 | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | 开发周期的关键节点 | ||
| 31 | ------------------ | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | 补丁可以随时发送,但在合并窗口期间,响应将比通常慢。文档树往往在合并窗口打开 | ||
| 34 | 之前关闭得比较晚,因为文档补丁导致回归的风险很小。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 审阅节奏 | ||
| 37 | -------- | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 我(译注:指Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>)是文档子系统的唯一维护者,我在 | ||
| 40 | 自己的时间里完成这项工作,所以对补丁的响应有时会很慢。当补丁被合并时(或当我 | ||
| 41 | 决定拒绝合并补丁时),我都会发送通知。如果您在发送补丁后一周内没有收到回复, | ||
| 42 | 请不要犹豫,发送提醒就好。 | ||

| 10 | 包含用户空间API头文件 | ||
| 11 | ===================== | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | 有时,为了描述用户空间API并在代码和文档之间生成交叉引用,需要包含头文件和示例 | ||
| 14 | C代码。为用户空间API文件添加交叉引用还有一个好处:如果在文档中找不到相应符号, | ||
| 15 | Sphinx将生成警告。这有助于保持用户空间API文档与内核更改同步。 | ||
| 16 | :ref:`parse_headers.pl <parse_headers_zh>` 提供了生成此类交叉引用的一种方法。 | ||
| 17 | 在构建文档时,必须通过Makefile调用它。有关如何在内核树中使用它的示例,请参阅 | ||
| 18 | ``Documentation/userspace-api/media/Makefile`` 。 | ||

| 48 | |||
| 49 | 开启脚本详细模式,在调试时很有用。 | ||

| 65 | |||
| 66 | 通过C头文件或源文件(<C文件>)中为描述API的文档编写的带交叉引用的 ..预格式化 | ||
| 67 | 文本 块将文件转换成重构文本(RST)。它接受一个可选的<例外文件>,其中描述了 | ||
| 68 | 哪些元素将被忽略或指向非默认引用。 | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | 输出被写入到<输出文件>。 | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | 它能够识别定义、函数、结构体、typedef、枚举和枚举符号,并为它们创建交叉引用。 | ||
| 73 | 它还能够区分用于指定Linux ioctl的 ``#define`` 。 | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | <例外文件> 包含两种类型的语句: \ **ignore**\ 或 \ **replace**\ . | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | ignore标记的语法为: | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | ignore \ **type**\ \ **name**\ | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | The \ **ignore**\ 意味着它不会为类型为 \ **type**\ 的 \ **name**\ 符号生成 | ||
| 83 | 交叉引用。 | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | replace标记的语法为: | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | replace \ **type**\ \ **name**\ \ **new_value**\ | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | The \ **replace**\ 味着它将为 \ **type**\ 类型的 \ **name**\ 符号生成交叉引 | ||
| 92 | 用,但是它将使用 \ **new_value**\ 来取代默认的替换规则。 | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | 这两种语句中, \ **type**\ 可以是以下任一项: | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | \ **ioctl**\ | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | ignore 或 replace 语句应用于ioctl定义,如: | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | #define VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER _IOW('V', 79, struct v4l2_dbg_register) | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | \ **define**\ | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | ignore 或 replace 语句应用于在<C文件>中找到的任何其他 ``#define`` 。 | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | \ **typedef**\ | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | ignore 和 replace 语句应用于<C文件>中的typedef语句。 | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | \ **struct**\ | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | ignore 和 replace 语句应用于<C文件>中的结构体名称语句。 | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | \ **enum**\ | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | ignore 和 replace 语句应用于<C文件>中的枚举名称语句。 | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | |||
| 130 | \ **symbol**\ | ||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | ignore 和 replace 语句应用于<C文件>中的枚举值名称语句。 | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | replace语句中, \ **new_value**\ 会自动使用 \ **typedef**\ , \ **enum**\ | ||
| 135 | 和 \ **struct**\ 类型的 :c:type: 引用;以及 \ **ioctl**\ , \ **define**\ 和 | ||
| 136 | \ **symbol**\ 类型的 :ref: 。引用的类型也可以在replace语句中显式定义。 | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | 示例 | ||
| 140 | ~~~~ | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | ignore define _VIDEODEV2_H | ||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | 忽略<C文件>中的 #define _VIDEODEV2_H 。 | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | ignore symbol PRIVATE | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | 如下结构体: | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE }; | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | 不会为 \ **PRIVATE**\ 生成交叉引用。 | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | replace symbol BAR1 :c:type:\`foo\` | ||
| 158 | replace symbol BAR2 :c:type:\`foo\` | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | 如下结构体: | ||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE }; | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | 它会让BAR1和BAR2枚举符号交叉引用C域中的foo符号。 | ||

| 9 | 简介 | ||
| 10 | ==== | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | Linux内核使用 `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/>`_ 来把 ``Documentation`` | ||
| 13 | 下的 `reStructuredText <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html>`_ 文件转 | ||
| 14 | 换成漂亮的文档。使用 ``make htmldocs`` 或 ``make pdfdocs`` 命令即可构建HTML | ||
| 15 | 或PDF格式的文档。生成的文档放在 ``Documentation/output`` 文件夹中。 | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | reStructuredText文件可能包含包含来自源文件的结构化文档注释或kernel-doc注释。 | ||
| 18 | 通常它们用于描述代码的功能、类型和设计。kernel-doc注释有一些特殊的结构和 | ||
| 19 | 格式,但除此之外,它们还被作为reStructuredText处理。 | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 最后,有成千上万的纯文本文档文件散布在 ``Documentation`` 里。随着时间推移, | ||
| 22 | 其中一些可能会转换为reStructuredText,但其中大部分仍保持纯文本。 | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | .. _sphinx_install_zh: | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | 安装Sphinx | ||
| 27 | ========== | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Documentation/ 下的ReST文件现在使用sphinx1.3或更高版本构建。 | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 这有一个脚本可以检查Sphinx的依赖项。更多详细信息见 | ||
| 32 | :ref:`sphinx-pre-install_zh` 。 | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 大多数发行版都附带了Sphinx,但是它的工具链比较脆弱,而且在您的机器上升级它 | ||
| 35 | 或其他一些Python包导致文档构建中断的情况并不少见。 | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | 避免此情况的一种方法是使用与发行版附带的不同的版本。因此,建议使用 | ||
| 38 | ``virtualenv-3`` 或 ``virtualenv`` 在虚拟环境中安装Sphinx,具体取决于发行版 | ||
| 39 | 如何打包Python3。 | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | .. note:: | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | #) 低于1.5版本的Sphinx无法与Python的0.13.1或更高版本docutils一起正常工作。 | ||
| 44 | 如果您想使用这些版本,那么应该运行 ``pip install 'docutils==0.12'`` 。 | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | #) html输出建议使用RTD主题。根据Sphinx版本的不同,它应该用 | ||
| 47 | ``pip install sphinx_rtd_theme`` 单独安装。 | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | #) 一些ReST页面包含数学表达式。由于Sphinx的工作方式,这些表达式是使用 LaTeX | ||
| 50 | 编写的。它需要安装amsfonts和amsmath宏包,以便显示。 | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | 总之,如您要安装Sphinx 1.7.9版本,应执行:: | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | $ virtualenv sphinx_1.7.9 | ||
| 55 | $ . sphinx_1.7.9/bin/activate | ||
| 56 | (sphinx_1.7.9) $ pip install -r Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 在运行 ``. sphinx_1.7.9/bin/activate`` 之后,提示符将变化,以指示您正在使用新 | ||
| 59 | 环境。如果您打开了一个新的shell,那么在构建文档之前,您需要重新运行此命令以再 | ||
| 60 | 次进入虚拟环境中。 | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | 图片输出 | ||
| 63 | -------- | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | 内核文档构建系统包含一个扩展,可以处理GraphViz和SVG格式的图像(参见 | ||
| 66 | :ref:`sphinx_kfigure_zh` )。 | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 为了让它工作,您需要同时安装GraphViz和ImageMagick包。如果没有安装这些软件包, | ||
| 69 | 构建系统仍将构建文档,但不会在输出中包含任何图像。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | PDF和LaTeX构建 | ||
| 72 | -------------- | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | 目前只有Sphinx 1.4及更高版本才支持这种构建。 | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 对于PDF和LaTeX输出,还需要 ``XeLaTeX`` 3.14159265版本。(译注:此版本号真实 | ||
| 77 | 存在) | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 根据发行版的不同,您可能还需要安装一系列 ``texlive`` 软件包,这些软件包提供了 | ||
| 80 | ``XeLaTeX`` 工作所需的最小功能集。 | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | .. _sphinx-pre-install_zh: | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | 检查Sphinx依赖项 | ||
| 85 | ---------------- | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | 这有一个脚本可以自动检查Sphinx依赖项。如果它认得您的发行版,还会提示您所用发行 | ||
| 88 | 版的安装命令:: | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | $ ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install | ||
| 91 | Checking if the needed tools for Fedora release 26 (Twenty Six) are available | ||
| 92 | Warning: better to also install "texlive-luatex85". | ||
| 93 | You should run: | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | sudo dnf install -y texlive-luatex85 | ||
| 96 | /usr/bin/virtualenv sphinx_1.7.9 | ||
| 97 | . sphinx_1.7.9/bin/activate | ||
| 98 | pip install -r Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | Can't build as 1 mandatory dependency is missing at ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install line 468. | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 默认情况下,它会检查html和PDF的所有依赖项,包括图像、数学表达式和LaTeX构建的 | ||
| 103 | 需求,并假设将使用虚拟Python环境。html构建所需的依赖项被认为是必需的,其他依 | ||
| 104 | 赖项则是可选的。 | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 它支持两个可选参数: | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | ``--no-pdf`` | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | 禁用PDF检查; | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | ``--no-virtualenv`` | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | 使用Sphinx的系统打包,而不是Python虚拟环境。 | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | Sphinx构建 | ||
| 117 | ========== | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | 生成文档的常用方法是运行 ``make htmldocs`` 或 ``make pdfdocs`` 。还有其它可用 | ||
| 120 | 的格式:请参阅 ``make help`` 的文档部分。生成的文档放在 ``Documentation/output`` | ||
| 121 | 下相应格式的子目录中。 | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | 要生成文档,显然必须安装Sphinx( ``sphinx-build`` )。要让HTML输出更漂亮,可以 | ||
| 124 | 使用Read the Docs Sphinx主题( ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` )。对于PDF输出,您还需要 | ||
| 125 | ``XeLaTeX`` 和来自ImageMagick(https://www.imagemagick.org)的 ``convert(1)`` 。 | ||
| 126 | 所有这些软件在大多发行版中都可用或已打包。 | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | 要传递额外的选项给Sphinx,可以使用make变量 ``SPHINXOPTS`` 。例如,使用 | ||
| 129 | ``make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs`` 获得更详细的输出。 | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | 要删除生成的文档,请运行 ``make cleandocs`` 。 | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | 编写文档 | ||
| 135 | ======== | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | 添加新文档很容易,只需: | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | 1. 在 ``Documentation`` 下某处添加一个新的 ``.rst`` 文件。 | ||
| 140 | 2. 从 ``Documentation/index.rst`` 中的Sphinx `主目录树`_ 链接到它。 | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | .. _主目录树: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | 对于简单的文档(比如您现在正在阅读的文档),这通常已经足够好了,但是对于较大 | ||
| 145 | 的文档,最好创建一个子目录(或者使用现有的子目录)。例如,图形子系统文档位于 | ||
| 146 | ``Documentation/gpu`` 下,拆分为多个 ``.rst`` 文件,并具有从主目录链接来的单 | ||
| 147 | 独索引 ``index.rst`` (有自己的目录树 ``toctree`` )。 | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 请参阅 `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/>`_ 和 `reStructuredText | ||
| 150 | <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html>`_ 的文档,以了解如何使用它们。 | ||
| 151 | 特别是Sphinx `reStructuredText 基础`_ 这是开始学习使用reStructuredText的 | ||
| 152 | 好地方。还有一些 `Sphinx 特殊标记结构`_ 。 | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | .. _reStructuredText 基础: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html | ||

| 156 | |||
| 157 | 内核文档的具体指南 | ||
| 158 | ------------------ | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | 这是一些内核文档的具体指南: | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | * 请不要过于痴迷转换格式到reStructuredText。保持简单。在大多数情况下,文档 | ||
| 163 | 应该是纯文本,格式应足够一致,以便可以转换为其他格式。 | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | * 将现有文档转换为reStructuredText时,请尽量减少格式更改。 | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | * 在转换文档时,还要更新内容,而不仅仅是格式。 | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | * 请遵循标题修饰符的顺序: | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | 1. ``=`` 文档标题,要有上线:: | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | ======== | ||
| 174 | 文档标题 | ||
| 175 | ======== | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | 2. ``=`` 章:: | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | 章标题 | ||
| 180 | ====== | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | 3. ``-`` 节:: | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | 节标题 | ||
| 185 | ------ | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | 4. ``~`` 小节:: | ||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 小节标题 | ||
| 190 | ~~~~~~~~ | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | 尽管RST没有规定具体的顺序(“没有强加一个固定数量和顺序的节标题装饰风格,最终 | ||
| 193 | 按照的顺序将是实际遇到的顺序。”),但是拥有一个通用级别的文档更容易遵循。 | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | * 对于插入固定宽度的文本块(用于代码样例、用例等): ``::`` 用于语法高亮意义不 | ||
| 196 | 大的内容,尤其是短代码段; ``.. code-block:: <language>`` 用于需要语法高亮的 | ||
| 197 | 较长代码块。对于嵌入到文本中的简短代码片段,请使用 \`\` 。 | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | C域 | ||
| 201 | --- | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | **Sphinx C域(Domain)** (name c)适用于C API文档。例如,函数原型: | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | .. code-block:: rst | ||
| 206 | |||
| 207 | .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request ) | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | 内核文档的C域有一些附加特性。例如,您可以使用诸如 ``open`` 或 ``ioctl`` 这样的 | ||
| 210 | 通用名称重命名函数的引用名称: | ||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | .. code-block:: rst | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request ) | ||
| 215 | :name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | 函数名称(例如ioctl)仍保留在输出中,但引用名称从 ``ioctl`` 变为 | ||
| 218 | ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` 。此函数的索引项也变为 ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` 。 | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | 请注意,不需要使用 ``c:func:`` 生成函数文档的交叉引用。由于一些Sphinx扩展的 | ||
| 221 | 神奇力量,如果给定函数名的索引项存在,文档构建系统会自动将对 ``function()`` | ||
| 222 | 的引用转换为交叉引用。如果在内核文档中看到 ``c:func:`` 的用法,请删除它。 | ||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | |||
| 225 | 列表 | ||
| 226 | ---- | ||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | 我们建议使用 *列式表* 格式。 *列式表* 格式是二级列表。与ASCII艺术相比,它们对 | ||
| 229 | 文本文件的读者来说可能没有那么舒适。但其优点是易于创建或修改,而且修改的差异 | ||
| 230 | (diff)更有意义,因为差异仅限于修改的内容。 | ||
| 231 | |||
| 232 | *平铺表* 也是一个二级列表,类似于 *列式表* ,但具有一些额外特性: | ||
| 233 | |||
| 234 | * 列范围:使用 ``cspan`` 修饰,可以通过其他列扩展单元格 | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | * 行范围:使用 ``rspan`` 修饰,可以通过其他行扩展单元格 | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | * 自动将表格行最右边的单元格扩展到该行右侧空缺的单元格上。若使用 | ||
| 239 | ``:fill-cells:`` 选项,此行为可以从 *自动合并* 更改为 *自动插入* ,自动 | ||
| 240 | 插入(空)单元格,而不是扩展合并到最后一个单元格。 | ||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | 选项: | ||
| 243 | |||
| 244 | * ``:header-rows:`` [int] 标题行计数 | ||
| 245 | * ``:stub-columns:`` [int] 标题列计数 | ||
| 246 | * ``:widths:`` [[int] [int] ... ] 列宽 | ||
| 247 | * ``:fill-cells:`` 插入缺少的单元格,而不是自动合并缺少的单元格 | ||
| 248 | |||
| 249 | 修饰: | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | * ``:cspan:`` [int] 扩展列 | ||
| 252 | * ``:rspan:`` [int] 扩展行 | ||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | 下面的例子演示了如何使用这些标记。分级列表的第一级是 *表格行* 。 *表格行* 中 | ||
| 255 | 只允许一个标记,即该 *表格行* 中的单元格列表。 *comments* ( ``..`` )和 | ||
| 256 | *targets* 例外(例如引用 ``:ref:`最后一行 <last row_zh>``` / :ref:`最后一行 | ||
| 257 | <last row_zh>` )。 | ||
| 258 | |||
| 259 | .. code-block:: rst | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | .. flat-table:: 表格标题 | ||
| 262 | :widths: 2 1 1 3 | ||
| 263 | |||
| 264 | * - 表头 列1 | ||

| 275 | - :rspan:`1` :cspan:`1` 字段2.2~3.3 | ||
| 276 | |||

| 301 | - 行3 | ||
| 302 | |||
| 303 | 交叉引用 | ||
| 304 | -------- | ||
| 305 | |||
| 306 | 从一页文档到另一页文档的交叉引用可以通过简单地写出文件路径来完成,无特殊格式 | ||
| 307 | 要求。路径可以是绝对路径或相对路径。绝对路径从“Documentation/”开始。例如,要 | ||
| 308 | 交叉引用此页,以下写法皆可,取决于具体的文档目录(注意 ``.rst`` 扩展名是可选 | ||
| 309 | 的):: | ||
| 310 | |||
| 311 | 参见 Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst 。此法始终可用。 | ||
| 312 | 请查看 sphinx.rst ,仅在同级目录中有效。 | ||
| 313 | 请阅读 ../sphinx.rst ,上级目录中的文件。 | ||
| 314 | |||
| 315 | 如果要使用相对路径,则需要使用Sphinx的 ``doc`` 修饰。例如,从同一目录引用此页 | ||
| 316 | 的操作如下:: | ||
| 317 | |||
| 318 | 参见 :doc:`sphinx文档的自定义链接文本 <sphinx>`. | ||
| 319 | |||
| 320 | 对于大多数用例,前者是首选,因为它更干净,更适合阅读源文件的人。如果您遇到一 | ||
| 321 | 个没有任何特殊作用的 ``:doc:`` 用法,请将其转换为文档路径。 | ||
| 322 | |||
| 323 | 有关交叉引用kernel-doc函数或类型的信息,请参阅 | ||
| 324 | Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst 。 | ||
| 325 | |||
| 326 | .. _sphinx_kfigure_zh: | ||
| 327 | |||
| 328 | 图形图片 | ||
| 329 | ======== | ||
| 330 | |||
| 331 | 如果要添加图片,应该使用 ``kernel-figure`` 和 ``kernel-image`` 指令。例如, | ||
| 332 | 要插入具有可缩放图像格式的图形,请使用SVG(:ref:`svg_image_example_zh` ):: | ||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | .. kernel-figure:: ../../../doc-guide/svg_image.svg | ||
| 335 | :alt: 简易 SVG 图片 | ||
| 336 | |||
| 337 | SVG 图片示例 | ||
| 338 | |||
| 339 | .. _svg_image_example_zh: | ||
| 340 | |||
| 341 | .. kernel-figure:: ../../../doc-guide/svg_image.svg | ||
| 342 | :alt: 简易 SVG 图片 | ||
| 343 | |||
| 344 | SVG 图片示例 | ||
| 345 | |||
| 346 | 内核figure(和image)指令支持 DOT 格式文件,请参阅 | ||
| 347 | |||
| 348 | * DOT:http://graphviz.org/pdf/dotguide.pdf | ||
| 349 | * Graphviz:http://www.graphviz.org/content/dot-language | ||
| 350 | |||
| 351 | 一个简单的例子(:ref:`hello_dot_file_zh` ):: | ||
| 352 | |||
| 353 | .. kernel-figure:: ../../../doc-guide/hello.dot | ||
| 354 | :alt: 你好,世界 | ||
| 355 | |||
| 356 | DOT 示例 | ||
| 357 | |||
| 358 | .. _hello_dot_file_zh: | ||
| 359 | |||
| 360 | .. kernel-figure:: ../../../doc-guide/hello.dot | ||
| 361 | :alt: 你好,世界 | ||
| 362 | |||
| 363 | DOT 示例 | ||
| 364 | |||
| 365 | 嵌入的渲染标记(或语言),如Graphviz的 **DOT** 由 ``kernel-render`` 指令提供:: | ||
| 366 | |||
| 367 | .. kernel-render:: DOT | ||
| 368 | :alt: 有向图 | ||
| 369 | :caption: 嵌入式 **DOT** (Graphviz) 代码 | ||
| 370 | |||
| 371 | digraph foo { | ||
| 372 | "五棵松" -> "国贸"; | ||
| 373 | } | ||
| 374 | |||
| 375 | 如何渲染取决于安装的工具。如果安装了Graphviz,您将看到一个矢量图像。否则,原始 | ||
| 376 | 标记将作为 *文字块* 插入(:ref:`hello_dot_render_zh` )。 | ||
| 377 | |||
| 378 | .. _hello_dot_render_zh: | ||
| 379 | |||
| 380 | .. kernel-render:: DOT | ||
| 381 | :alt: 有向图 | ||
| 382 | :caption: 嵌入式 **DOT** (Graphviz) 代码 | ||
| 383 | |||
| 384 | digraph foo { | ||
| 385 | "五棵松" -> "国贸"; | ||
| 386 | } | ||
| 387 | |||
| 388 | *render* 指令包含 *figure* 指令中已知的所有选项,以及选项 ``caption`` 。如果 | ||
| 389 | ``caption`` 有值,则插入一个 *figure* 节点,若无,则插入一个 *image* 节点。 | ||
| 390 | 如果您想引用它,还需要一个 ``caption`` (:ref:`hello_svg_render_zh` )。 | ||
| 391 | |||
| 392 | 嵌入式 **SVG**:: | ||
| 393 | |||
| 394 | .. kernel-render:: SVG | ||

| 19 | 描述了内核代码的常见例程和一般要求:其目标是引导有经验的C程序员入门Linux内核 | ||
| 20 | 开发。我回避了实现细节:这是代码要做的,也忽略了很多有用的例程。 | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 在你读这篇文章之前,请理解我从来没有想过要写这篇文章,因为我的资历太低了; | ||
| 23 | 但我一直想读这样的文章,自己写是唯一的方法。我希望它能成长为一个最佳实践、 | ||
| 24 | 通用起点和其他信息的汇编。 | ||

| 27 | ======= | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 在任何时候,系统中的每个CPU都可以: | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | - 与任何进程无关,服务于硬件中断; | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | - 与任何进程无关,服务于软件中断(softirq)或子任务(tasklet); | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | - 运行于内核空间中,与进程(用户上下文)相关联; | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | - 在用户空间中运行进程。 | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 它们之间有优先级顺序。最下面的两个可以互相抢占,但上面为严格的层次结构: | ||
| 40 | 每个层级只能被上方的抢占。例如,当一个软中断在CPU上运行时,没有其他软中断 | ||
| 41 | 会抢占它,但是硬件中断可以抢占它。不过,系统中的任何其他CPU都是独立执行的。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 我们将会看到许多方法,用户上下文可以阻止中断,从而成为真正的不可抢占。 | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 用户上下文 | ||
| 46 | ------------ | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 用户上下文是指当您从系统调用或其他陷阱进入时:就像用户空间一样,您可以被更 | ||
| 49 | 重要的任务和中断抢占。您可以通过调用 :c:func:`schedule()` 进行睡眠。 | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | .. note:: | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 在模块加载和卸载以及块设备层上的操作时,你始终处于用户上下文中。 | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | 在用户上下文中,当前 ``current`` 指针(指示我们当前正在执行的任务)是有效的, | ||
| 56 | 且 :c:func:`in_interrupt()` ( ``include/linux/preempt.h`` )值为非(false)。 | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | .. warning:: | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 请注意,如果您禁用了抢占或软中断(见下文),:c:func:`in_interrupt()` 会 | ||
| 61 | 返回假阳性。 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | 硬件中断(Hard IRQs) | ||
| 64 | ---------------------- | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | 像定时器、网卡和键盘等都是可能在任意时刻产生中断的真实硬件。内核运行中断 | ||
| 67 | 处理程序,为硬件提供服务。内核确保处理程序永远不会重入:如果相同的中断到达, | ||
| 68 | 它将被排队(或丢弃)。因为它会关闭中断,所以处理程序必须很快:通常它只是 | ||
| 69 | 确认中断,标记一个“软件中断”以执行并退出。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | 您可以通过 :c:func:`in_irq()` 返回真来判断您处于硬件中断状态。 | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | .. warning:: | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | 请注意,如果中断被禁用,这将返回假阳性(见下文)。 | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | 软件中断上下文:软中断(Softirqs)与子任务(Tasklets) | ||
| 78 | ------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | 当系统调用即将返回用户空间或硬件中断处理程序退出时,任何标记为挂起(通常通 | ||
| 81 | 过硬件中断)的“软件中断”将运行( ``kernel/softirq.c`` )。 | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | 此处完成了许多真正的中断处理工作。在向SMP过渡的早期,只有“bottom halves下半 | ||
| 84 | 部”(BHs)机制,无法利用多个CPU的优势。在从那些一团糟的就电脑切换过来后不久, | ||
| 85 | 我们放弃了这个限制,转而使用“软中断”。 | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | ``include/linux/interrupt.h`` 列出了不同的软中断。定时器软中断是一个非常重要 | ||
| 88 | 的软中断( ``include/linux/timer.h`` ):您可以注册它以在给定时间后为您调用 | ||
| 89 | 函数。 | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | 软中断通常是一个很难处理的问题,因为同一个软中断将同时在多个CPU上运行。因此, | ||
| 92 | 子任务( ``include/linux/interrupt.h`` )更常用:它们是动态可注册的(意味着 | ||
| 93 | 您可以拥有任意数量),并且它们还保证任何子任务都只能在一个CPU上运行,不同的 | ||
| 94 | 子任务也可以同时运行。 | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | .. warning:: | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | “tasklet”这个名字是误导性的:它们与“任务”无关,可能更多与当时 | ||
| 99 | 阿列克谢·库兹涅佐夫享用的糟糕伏特加有关。 | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | 你可以使用 :c:func:`in_softirq()` 宏( ``include/linux/preempt.h`` )来确认 | ||
| 102 | 是否处于软中断(或子任务)中。 | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | .. warning:: | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | 注意,如果持有 :ref:`bottom half lock <local_bh_disable_zh>` 锁,这将返回 | ||
| 107 | 假阳性。 | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | 一些基本规则 | ||
| 110 | ================ | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | 缺少内存保护 | ||
| 113 | 如果你损坏了内存,无论是在用户上下文还是中断上下文中,整个机器都会崩溃。 | ||
| 114 | 你确定你不能在用户空间里做你想做的事吗? | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 缺少浮点或MMX | ||
| 117 | FPU上下文不会被保存;即使在用户上下文中,FPU状态也可能与当前进程不一致: | ||
| 118 | 您会弄乱某些用户进程的FPU状态。如果真的要这样做,就必须显式地保存/恢复 | ||
| 119 | 完整的FPU状态(并避免上下文切换)。这通常不是个好主意;请优先用定点算法。 | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | 严格的堆栈限制 | ||
| 122 | 对于大多数32位体系结构,根据配置选项的不同内核堆栈大约为3K到6K;对于大 | ||
| 123 | 多数64位机器,内核堆栈大约为14K,并且经常与中断共享,因此你无法使用全部。 | ||
| 124 | 应避免深度递归和栈上的巨型本地数组(用动态分配它们来代替)。 | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | Linux内核是可移植的 | ||
| 127 | 就这样吧。您的代码应该是纯64位的,并且不依赖于字节序(endian)。您还应该 | ||
| 128 | 尽量减少CPU特定的东西,例如内联汇编(inline assembly)应该被干净地封装和 | ||
| 129 | 最小化以便于移植。一般来说,它应该局限于内核树中有体系结构依赖的部分。 | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | 输入输出控制(ioctls):避免编写新的系统调用 | ||
| 132 | ============================================== | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | 系统调用(system call)通常看起来像这样:: | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | asmlinkage long sys_mycall(int arg) | ||
| 137 | { | ||
| 138 | return 0; | ||
| 139 | } | ||
| 140 | |||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | 首先,在大多数情况下,您无需创建新的系统调用。创建一个字符设备并为其实现适当 | ||
| 143 | 的输入输出控制(ioctls)。这比系统调用灵活得多,不必写进每个体系结构的 | ||
| 144 | ``include/asm/unistd.h`` 和 ``arch/kernel/entry.S`` 文件里,而且更容易被Linus | ||
| 145 | 接受。 | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | 如果您的程序所做的只是读取或写入一些参数,请考虑实现 :c:func:`sysfs()` 接口。 | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 在输入输出控制中,您处于进程的用户上下文。出现错误时,返回一个负的错误参数 | ||
| 150 | (errno,请参阅 ``include/uapi/asm-generic/errno-base.h`` 、 | ||
| 151 | ``include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h`` 和 ``include/linux/errno.h`` ),否则返 | ||
| 152 | 回0。 | ||
| 153 | |||
| 154 | 在睡眠之后,您应该检查是否出现了信号:Unix/Linux处理信号的方法是暂时退出系统 | ||
| 155 | 调用,并返回 ``-ERESTARTSYS`` 错误。系统调用入口代码将切换回用户上下文,处理 | ||
| 156 | 信号处理程序,然后系统调用将重新启动(除非用户禁用了该功能)。因此,您应该准 | ||
| 157 | 备好处理重新启动,例如若您处理某些数据结构到一半。 | ||
| 158 | |||
| 159 | :: | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | if (signal_pending(current)) | ||
| 162 | return -ERESTARTSYS; | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | 如果你要做更长时间的计算:优先考虑用户空间。如果你真的想在内核中做这件事,你 | ||
| 166 | 应该定期检查你是否需要让出CPU(请记得每个CPU都有协作多任务)。 | ||
| 167 | 习惯用法:: | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | cond_resched(); /* Will sleep */ | ||
| 170 | |||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | 接口设计的小注释:UNIX系统调用的格言是“提供机制而不是策略 | ||
| 173 | Provide mechanism not policy”。 | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | 死锁的“配方” | ||
| 176 | ==================== | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | 您不能调用任何可能睡眠的程序,除非: | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | - 您处于用户上下文中。 | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | - 你未拥有任何自旋锁。 | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | - 您已经启用中断(实际上,Andi Kleen说调度代码将为您启用它们,但这可能不是 | ||
| 185 | 您想要的)。 | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | 注意,有些函数可能隐式地睡眠:常见的是用户空间访问函数(\*_user)和没有 | ||
| 188 | ``GFP_ATOMIC`` 的内存分配函数。 | ||
| 189 | |||
| 190 | 您应该始终打开 ``CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP`` 项来编译内核,如果您违反这些 | ||
| 191 | 规则,它将警告您。如果你 **真的** 违反了规则,你最终会锁住你的电脑。 | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | 真的会这样。 | ||
| 194 | |||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | 常用函数/程序 | ||
| 197 | =============== | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | :c:func:`printk()` | ||
| 200 | ------------------ | ||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | 定义于 ``include/linux/printk.h`` | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | :c:func:`printk()` 将内核消息提供给控制台、dmesg和syslog守护进程。它对于调 | ||
| 205 | 试和报告错误很有用,并且可以在中断上下文中使用,但是使用时要小心:如果机器 | ||
| 206 | 的控制台中充斥着printk消息则会无法使用。它使用与ANSI C printf基本兼容的格式 | ||
| 207 | 字符串,并通过C字符串串联为其提供第一个“优先”参数:: | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | printk(KERN_INFO "i = %u\n", i); | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | 参见 ``include/linux/kern_levels.h`` ;了解其他 ``KERN_`` 值;syslog将这些值 | ||
| 213 | 解释为级别。特殊用法:打印IP地址使用:: | ||
| 214 | |||
| 215 | __be32 ipaddress; | ||
| 216 | printk(KERN_INFO "my ip: %pI4\n", &ipaddress); | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | |||
| 219 | :c:func:`printk()` 内部使用的1K缓冲区,不捕获溢出。请确保足够使用。 | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | .. note:: | ||
| 222 | |||
| 223 | 当您开始在用户程序中将printf打成printk时,就知道自己是真正的内核程序员了 | ||
| 224 | :) | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | .. note:: | ||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | 另一个注释:最初的unix第六版源代码在其printf函数的顶部有一个注释:“printf | ||
| 229 | 不应该用于叽叽喳喳”。你也应该遵循此建议。 | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | :c:func:`copy_to_user()` / :c:func:`copy_from_user()` / :c:func:`get_user()` / :c:func:`put_user()` | ||
| 232 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 233 | |||
| 234 | 定义于 ``include/linux/uaccess.h`` / ``asm/uaccess.h`` | ||
| 235 | |||
| 236 | **[睡眠]** | ||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | :c:func:`put_user()` 和 :c:func:`get_user()` 用于从用户空间中获取和向用户空 | ||
| 239 | 间中传出单个值(如int、char或long)。指向用户空间的指针永远不应该直接取消 | ||
| 240 | 引用:应该使用这些程序复制数据。两者都返回 ``-EFAULT`` 或 0。 | ||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | :c:func:`copy_to_user()` 和 :c:func:`copy_from_user()` 更通用:它们从/向用户 | ||
| 243 | 空间复制任意数量的数据。 | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | .. warning:: | ||
| 246 | |||
| 247 | 与 :c:func:`put_user()` 和 :c:func:`get_user()` 不同,它们返回未复制的 | ||
| 248 | 数据量(即0仍然意味着成功)。 | ||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | 【是的,这个愚蠢的接口真心让我尴尬。火爆的口水仗大概每年都会发生。 | ||
| 251 | —— Rusty Russell】 | ||
| 252 | |||
| 253 | 这些函数可以隐式睡眠。它不应该在用户上下文之外调用(没有意义)、调用时禁用中断 | ||
| 254 | 或获得自旋锁。 | ||
| 255 | |||
| 256 | :c:func:`kmalloc()`/:c:func:`kfree()` | ||
| 257 | ------------------------------------- | ||
| 258 | |||
| 259 | 定义于 ``include/linux/slab.h`` | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | **[可能睡眠:见下]** | ||
| 262 | |||
| 263 | 这些函数用于动态请求指针对齐的内存块,类似用户空间中的malloc和free,但 | ||
| 264 | :c:func:`kmalloc()` 需要额外的标志词。重要的值: | ||
| 265 | |||
| 266 | ``GFP_KERNEL`` | ||
| 267 | 可以睡眠和交换以释放内存。只允许在用户上下文中使用,但这是分配内存最可靠 | ||
| 268 | 的方法。 | ||
| 269 | |||
| 270 | ``GFP_ATOMIC`` | ||
| 271 | 不会睡眠。较 ``GFP_KERNEL`` 更不可靠,但可以从中断上下文调用。你 **应该** | ||
| 272 | 有一个很好的内存不足错误处理策略。 | ||
| 273 | |||
| 274 | ``GFP_DMA`` | ||
| 275 | 分配低于16MB的ISA DMA。如果你不知道那是什么,那你就不需要了。非常不可靠。 | ||
| 276 | |||
| 277 | 如果您看到一个从无效上下文警告消息调用的睡眠的函数,那么您可能在没有 | ||
| 278 | ``GFP_ATOMIC`` 的情况下从中断上下文调用了一个睡眠的分配函数。你必须立即修复, | ||
| 279 | 快点! | ||
| 280 | |||
| 281 | 如果你要分配至少 ``PAGE_SIZE`` ( ``asm/page.h`` 或 ``asm/page_types.h`` ) | ||
| 282 | 字节,请考虑使用 :c:func:`__get_free_pages()` ( ``include/linux/gfp.h`` )。 | ||
| 283 | 它采用顺序参数(0表示页面大小,1表示双页,2表示四页……)和与上述相同的内存 | ||
| 284 | 优先级标志字。 | ||
| 285 | |||
| 286 | 如果分配的字节数超过一页,可以使用 :c:func:`vmalloc()` 。它将在内核映射中分 | ||
| 287 | 配虚拟内存。此块在物理内存中不是连续的,但是MMU(内存管理单元)使它看起来像 | ||
| 288 | 是为您准备好的连续空间(因此它只是看起来对cpu连续,对外部设备驱动程序则不然)。 | ||
| 289 | 如果您真的需要为一些奇怪的设备提供大量物理上连续的内存,那么您就会遇到问题: | ||
| 290 | Linux对此支持很差,因为正在运行的内核中的内存碎片化会使它变得很困难。最好的 | ||
| 291 | 方法是在引导过程的早期通过 :c:func:`alloc_bootmem()` 函数分配。 | ||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | 在创建自己的常用对象缓存之前,请考虑使用 ``include/linux/slab.h`` 中的slab | ||
| 294 | 缓存。 | ||
| 295 | |||
| 296 | :c:macro:`current` | ||
| 297 | ------------------ | ||
| 298 | |||
| 299 | 定义于 ``include/asm/current.h`` | ||
| 300 | |||
| 301 | 此全局变量(其实是宏)包含指向当前任务结构(task structure)的指针,因此仅在 | ||
| 302 | 用户上下文中有效。例如,当进程进行系统调用时,这将指向调用进程的任务结构。 | ||
| 303 | 在中断上下文中不为空(**not NULL**)。 | ||
| 304 | |||
| 305 | :c:func:`mdelay()`/:c:func:`udelay()` | ||
| 306 | ------------------------------------- | ||
| 307 | |||
| 308 | 定义于 ``include/asm/delay.h`` / ``include/linux/delay.h`` | ||
| 309 | |||
| 310 | :c:func:`udelay()` 和 :c:func:`ndelay()` 函数可被用于小暂停。不要对它们使用 | ||
| 311 | 大的值,因为这样会导致溢出——帮助函数 :c:func:`mdelay()` 在这里很有用,或者 | ||
| 312 | 考虑 :c:func:`msleep()`。 | ||
| 313 | |||
| 314 | :c:func:`cpu_to_be32()`/:c:func:`be32_to_cpu()`/:c:func:`cpu_to_le32()`/:c:func:`le32_to_cpu()` | ||
| 315 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 316 | |||
| 317 | 定义于 ``include/asm/byteorder.h`` | ||
| 318 | |||
| 319 | :c:func:`cpu_to_be32()` 系列函数(其中“32”可以替换为64或16,“be”可以替换为 | ||
| 320 | “le”)是在内核中进行字节序转换的常用方法:它们返回转换后的值。所有的变体也 | ||
| 321 | 提供反向转换函数: | ||
| 322 | :c:func:`be32_to_cpu()` 等。 | ||
| 323 | |||
| 324 | 这些函数有两个主要的变体:指针变体,例如 :c:func:`cpu_to_be32p()` ,它获取 | ||
| 325 | 指向给定类型的指针,并返回转换后的值。另一个变体是“in-situ”系列,例如 | ||
| 326 | :c:func:`cpu_to_be32s()` ,它转换指针引用的值,并返回void。 | ||
| 327 | |||
| 328 | :c:func:`local_irq_save()`/:c:func:`local_irq_restore()` | ||
| 329 | -------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 330 | |||
| 331 | 定义于 ``include/linux/irqflags.h`` | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | 这些程序禁用本地CPU上的硬中断,并还原它们。它们是可重入的;在其一个 | ||
| 335 | ``unsigned long flags`` 参数中保存以前的状态。如果您知道中断已启用,那么可 | ||
| 336 | 直接使用 :c:func:`local_irq_disable()` 和 :c:func:`local_irq_enable()`。 | ||
| 337 | |||
| 338 | .. _local_bh_disable_zh: | ||
| 339 | |||
| 340 | :c:func:`local_bh_disable()`/:c:func:`local_bh_enable()` | ||
| 341 | -------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 342 | |||
| 343 | 定义于 ``include/linux/bottom_half.h`` | ||
| 344 | |||
| 345 | |||
| 346 | 这些程序禁用本地CPU上的软中断,并还原它们。它们是可重入的;如果之前禁用了 | ||
| 347 | 软中断,那么在调用这对函数之后仍然会禁用它们。它们阻止软中断和子任务在当前 | ||
| 348 | CPU上运行。 | ||
| 349 | |||
| 350 | :c:func:`smp_processor_id()` | ||
| 351 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 352 | |||
| 353 | 定义于 ``include/linux/smp.h`` | ||
| 354 | |||
| 355 | :c:func:`get_cpu()` 禁用抢占(这样您就不会突然移动到另一个cpu)并返回当前 | ||
| 356 | 处理器号,介于0和 ``NR_CPUS`` 之间。请注意,CPU编号不一定是连续的。完成后, | ||
| 357 | 使用 :c:func:`put_cpu()` 再次返回。 | ||
| 358 | |||
| 359 | 如果您知道您不能被另一个任务抢占(即您处于中断上下文中,或已禁用抢占),您 | ||
| 360 | 可以使用 :c:func:`smp_processor_id()`。 | ||
| 361 | |||
| 362 | ``__init``/``__exit``/``__initdata`` | ||
| 363 | ------------------------------------ | ||
| 364 | |||
| 365 | 定义于 ``include/linux/init.h`` | ||
| 366 | |||
| 367 | 引导之后,内核释放一个特殊的部分;用 ``__init`` 标记的函数和用 ``__initdata`` | ||
| 368 | 标记的数据结构在引导完成后被丢弃:同样地,模块在初始化后丢弃此内存。 | ||
| 369 | ``__exit`` 用于声明只在退出时需要的函数:如果此文件未编译为模块,则该函数将 | ||
| 370 | 被删除。请参阅头文件以使用。请注意,使用 :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()` 或 | ||
| 371 | :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` 将标记为 ``__init`` 的函数导出到模块是没有意义 | ||
| 372 | 的——这将出问题。 | ||
| 373 | |||
| 374 | |||
| 375 | :c:func:`__initcall()`/:c:func:`module_init()` | ||
| 376 | ---------------------------------------------- | ||
| 377 | |||
| 378 | 定义于 ``include/linux/init.h`` / ``include/linux/module.h`` | ||
| 379 | |||
| 380 | 内核的许多部分都作为模块(内核的可动态加载部分)良好服务。使用 | ||
| 381 | :c:func:`module_init()` 和 :c:func:`module_exit()` 宏可以简化代码编写,无需 | ||
| 382 | ``#ifdef`` ,即可以作为模块运行或内置在内核中。 | ||
| 383 | |||
| 384 | :c:func:`module_init()` 宏定义在模块插入时(如果文件编译为模块)或在引导时 | ||
| 385 | 调用哪个函数:如果文件未编译为模块,:c:func:`module_init()` 宏将等效于 | ||
| 386 | :c:func:`__initcall()` ,它通过链接器的魔力确保在引导时调用该函数。 | ||
| 387 | |||
| 388 | 该函数可以返回一个错误值,以导致模块加载失败(不幸的是,如果将模块编译到内核 | ||
| 389 | 中,则此操作无效)。此函数在启用中断的用户上下文中调用,因此可以睡眠。 | ||
| 390 | |||
| 391 | :c:func:`module_exit()` | ||
| 392 | ----------------------- | ||
| 393 | |||
| 394 | |||
| 395 | 定义于 ``include/linux/module.h`` | ||
| 396 | |||
| 397 | 这个宏定义了在模块删除时要调用的函数(如果是编译到内核中的文件,则无用武之地)。 | ||
| 398 | 只有在模块使用计数到零时才会调用它。这个函数也可以睡眠,但不能失败:当它返回 | ||
| 399 | 时,所有的东西都必须清理干净。 | ||
| 400 | |||
| 401 | 注意,这个宏是可选的:如果它不存在,您的模块将不可移除(除非 ``rmmod -f`` )。 | ||
| 402 | |||
| 403 | :c:func:`try_module_get()`/:c:func:`module_put()` | ||
| 404 | ------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 405 | |||
| 406 | 定义于 ``include/linux/module.h`` | ||
| 407 | |||
| 408 | 这些函数会操作模块使用计数,以防止删除(如果另一个模块使用其导出的符号之一, | ||
| 409 | 则无法删除模块,参见下文)。在调用模块代码之前,您应该在该模块上调用 | ||
| 410 | :c:func:`try_module_get()` :若失败,那么该模块将被删除,您应该将其视为不存在。 | ||
| 411 | 若成功,您就可以安全地进入模块,并在完成后调用模块 :c:func:`module_put()` 。 | ||
| 412 | |||
| 413 | 大多数可注册结构体都有所有者字段,例如在 | ||
| 414 | :c:type:`struct file_operations <file_operations>` 结构体中,此字段应设置为 | ||
| 415 | 宏 ``THIS_MODULE`` 。 | ||
| 416 | |||
| 417 | 等待队列 ``include/linux/wait.h`` | ||
| 418 | ==================================== | ||
| 419 | |||
| 420 | **[睡眠]** | ||
| 421 | |||
| 422 | 等待队列用于等待某程序在条件为真时唤醒另一程序。必须小心使用,以确保没有竞争 | ||
| 423 | 条件。先声明一个 :c:type:`wait_queue_head_t` ,然后对希望等待该条件的进程声明 | ||
| 424 | 一个关于它们自己的 :c:type:`wait_queue_entry_t` ,并将其放入队列中。 | ||
| 425 | |||
| 426 | 声明 | ||
| 427 | ----- | ||
| 428 | |||
| 429 | 使用 :c:func:`DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD()` 宏声明一个 ``wait_queue_head_t`` , | ||
| 430 | 或者在初始化代码中使用 :c:func:`init_waitqueue_head()` 程序。 | ||
| 431 | |||
| 432 | 排队 | ||
| 433 | ----- | ||
| 434 | |||
| 435 | 将自己放在等待队列中相当复杂,因为你必须在检查条件之前将自己放入队列中。有一 | ||
| 436 | 个宏可以来执行此操作: :c:func:`wait_event_interruptible()` | ||
| 437 | ( ``include/linux/wait.h`` )第一个参数是等待队列头,第二个参数是计算的表达 | ||
| 438 | 式;当该表达式为true时宏返回0,或者在接收到信号时返回 ``-ERESTARTSYS`` 。 | ||
| 439 | :c:func:`wait_event()` 版本会忽略信号。 | ||
| 440 | |||
| 441 | 唤醒排队任务 | ||
| 442 | ------------- | ||
| 443 | |||
| 444 | 调用 :c:func:`wake_up()` ( ``include/linux/wait.h`` ),它将唤醒队列中的所有 | ||
| 445 | 进程。例外情况:如果有一个进程设置了 ``TASK_EXCLUSIVE`` ,队列的其余部分将不 | ||
| 446 | 会被唤醒。这个基本函数的其他变体也可以在同一个头文件中使用。 | ||
| 447 | |||
| 448 | 原子操作 | ||
| 449 | ========= | ||
| 450 | |||
| 451 | 某些操作在所有平台上都有保证。第一类为操作 :c:type:`atomic_t` | ||
| 452 | ( ``include/asm/atomic.h`` )的函数;它包含一个有符号整数(至少32位长), | ||
| 453 | 您必须使用这些函数来操作或读取 :c:type:`atomic_t` 变量。 | ||
| 454 | :c:func:`atomic_read()` 和 :c:func:`atomic_set()` 获取并设置计数器,还有 | ||
| 455 | :c:func:`atomic_add()` ,:c:func:`atomic_sub()` ,:c:func:`atomic_inc()` , | ||
| 456 | :c:func:`atomic_dec()` 和 :c:func:`atomic_dec_and_test()` (如果递减为零, | ||
| 457 | 则返回true)。 | ||
| 458 | |||
| 459 | 是的。它在原子变量为零时返回true(即!=0)。 | ||
| 460 | |||
| 461 | 请注意,这些函数比普通的算术运算速度慢,因此不应过度使用。 | ||
| 462 | |||
| 463 | 第二类原子操作是在 ``unsigned long`` ( ``include/linux/bitops.h`` )上的 | ||
| 464 | 原子位操作。这些操作通常采用指向位模式(bit pattern)的指针,第0位是最低有效 | ||
| 465 | 位。:c:func:`set_bit()`,:c:func:`clear_bit()` 和 :c:func:`change_bit()` 设置、 | ||
| 466 | 清除和更改给定位。:c:func:`test_and_set_bit()` ,:c:func:`test_and_clear_bit()` | ||
| 467 | 和 :c:func:`test_and_change_bit()` 执行相同的操作,但如果之前设置了位,则返回 | ||
| 468 | true;这些对于原子设置标志特别有用。 | ||
| 469 | |||
| 470 | 可以使用大于 ``BITS_PER_LONG`` 位的位索引调用这些操作。但结果在大端序平台上 | ||
| 471 | 不太正常,所以最好不要这样做。 | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | 符号 | ||
| 474 | ===== | ||
| 475 | |||
| 476 | 在内核内部,正常的链接规则仍然适用(即除非用static关键字将符号声明为文件范围, | ||
| 477 | 否则它可以在内核中的任何位置使用)。但是对于模块,会保留一个特殊可导出符号表, | ||
| 478 | 该表将入口点限制为内核内部。模块也可以导出符号。 | ||
| 479 | |||
| 480 | :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()` | ||
| 481 | ------------------------- | ||
| 482 | |||
| 483 | 定义于 ``include/linux/export.h`` | ||
| 484 | |||
| 485 | 这是导出符号的经典方法:动态加载的模块将能够正常使用符号。 | ||
| 486 | |||
| 487 | :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` | ||
| 488 | ----------------------------- | ||
| 489 | |||
| 490 | 定义于 ``include/linux/export.h`` | ||
| 491 | |||
| 492 | |||
| 493 | 类似于 :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL()`,只是 :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` 导出的 | ||
| 494 | 符号只能由具有由 :c:func:`MODULE_LICENSE()` 指定GPL兼容许可证的模块看到。这 | ||
| 495 | 意味着此函数被认为是一个内部实现问题,而不是一个真正的接口。一些维护人员和 | ||
| 496 | 开发人员在添加一些新的API或功能时可能却需要导出 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()。 | ||
| 497 | |||
| 498 | :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS()` | ||
| 499 | ---------------------------- | ||
| 500 | |||
| 501 | 定义于 ``include/linux/export.h`` | ||
| 502 | |||
| 503 | 这是 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL()`` 的变体,允许指定符号命名空间。符号名称空间记录于 | ||
| 504 | Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst 。 | ||
| 505 | |||
| 506 | :c:func:`EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL()` | ||
| 507 | -------------------------------- | ||
| 508 | |||
| 509 | 定义于 ``include/linux/export.h`` | ||
| 510 | |||
| 511 | 这是 ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()`` 的变体,允许指定符号命名空间。符号名称空间记录于 | ||
| 512 | Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst 。 | ||
| 513 | |||
| 514 | 程序与惯例 | ||
| 515 | =========== | ||
| 516 | |||
| 517 | 双向链表 ``include/linux/list.h`` | ||
| 518 | ----------------------------------- | ||
| 519 | |||
| 520 | 内核头文件中曾经有三组链表程序,但这一组是赢家。如果你对一个单链表没有特别迫切的 | ||
| 521 | 需求,那么这是一个不错的选择。 | ||
| 522 | |||
| 523 | 通常 :c:func:`list_for_each_entry()` 很有用。 | ||
| 524 | |||
| 525 | 返回值惯例 | ||
| 526 | ------------ | ||
| 527 | |||
| 528 | 对于在用户上下文中调用的代码,违背C语言惯例是很常见的,即返回0表示成功,返回 | ||
| 529 | 负错误值(例如 ``-EFAULT`` )表示失败。这在一开始可能是不直观的,但在内核中 | ||
| 530 | 相当普遍。 | ||
| 531 | |||
| 532 | 使用 :c:func:`ERR_PTR()` ( ``include/linux/err.h`` )将负错误值编码到指针中, | ||
| 533 | 然后使用 :c:func:`IS_ERR()` 和 :c:func:`PTR_ERR()` 将其再取出:避免为错误值 | ||
| 534 | 使用单独的指针参数。挺讨厌的,但的确是个好方式。 | ||
| 535 | |||
| 536 | 破坏编译 | ||
| 537 | ---------- | ||
| 538 | |||
| 539 | Linus和其他开发人员有时会更改开发内核中的函数或结构体名称;这样做不仅是为了 | ||
| 540 | 让每个人都保持警惕,还反映了一个重大的更改(例如,不能再在打开中断的情况下 | ||
| 541 | 调用,或者执行额外的检查,或者不执行以前捕获的检查)。通常这会附带一个linux | ||
| 542 | 内核邮件列表中相当全面的注释;请搜索存档以查看。简单地对文件进行全局替换通常 | ||
| 543 | 会让事情变得 **更糟** 。 | ||
| 544 | |||
| 545 | 初始化结构体成员 | ||
| 546 | ------------------ | ||
| 547 | |||
| 548 | 初始化结构体的首选方法是使用指定的初始化器,如ISO C99所述。 | ||
| 549 | 例如:: | ||
| 550 | |||
| 551 | static struct block_device_operations opt_fops = { | ||
| 552 | .open = opt_open, | ||
| 553 | .release = opt_release, | ||
| 554 | .ioctl = opt_ioctl, | ||
| 555 | .check_media_change = opt_media_change, | ||
| 556 | }; | ||
| 557 | |||
| 558 | |||
| 559 | 这使得很容易查找(grep),并且可以清楚地看到设置了哪些结构字段。你应该这样做, | ||
| 560 | 因为它看起来很酷。 | ||
| 561 | |||
| 562 | GNU 扩展 | ||
| 563 | ---------- | ||
| 564 | |||
| 565 | Linux内核中明确允许GNU扩展。请注意,由于缺乏通用性,一些更复杂的版本并没有 | ||
| 566 | 得到很好的支持,但以下内容被认为是标准的(有关更多详细信息,请参阅GCC info页 | ||
| 567 | 的“C 扩展”部分——是的,实际上是info页,手册页只是info中内容的简短摘要)。 | ||
| 568 | |||
| 569 | - 内联函数 | ||
| 570 | |||
| 571 | - 语句表达式(Statement expressions)(即({ 和 })结构)。 | ||
| 572 | |||
| 573 | |||
| 574 | - 声明函数/变量/类型的属性(__attribute__) | ||
| 575 | |||
| 576 | - typeof | ||
| 577 | |||
| 578 | - 零长度数组 | ||
| 579 | |||
| 580 | - 宏变量 | ||
| 581 | |||
| 582 | - 空指针运算 | ||
| 583 | |||
| 584 | - 非常量(Non-Constant)初始化程序 | ||
| 585 | |||
| 586 | - 汇编程序指令(在 arch/ 和 include/asm/ 之内) | ||
| 587 | |||
| 588 | - 字符串函数名(__func__)。 | ||
| 589 | |||
| 590 | - __builtin_constant_p() | ||
| 591 | |||
| 592 | 在内核中使用long long时要小心,gcc为其生成的代码非常糟糕:除法和乘法在i386上 | ||
| 593 | 不能工作,因为内核环境中缺少用于它的gcc运行时函数。 | ||
| 594 | |||
| 595 | C++ | ||
| 596 | --- | ||
| 597 | |||
| 598 | 在内核中使用C++通常是个坏主意,因为内核不提供必要的运行时环境,并且不为其 | ||
| 599 | 测试包含文件。不过这仍然是可能的,但不建议。如果你真的想这么做,至少别用 | ||
| 600 | 异常处理(exceptions)。 | ||
| 601 | |||
| 602 | #if | ||
| 603 | --- | ||
| 604 | |||
| 605 | 通常认为,在头文件(或.c文件顶部)中使用宏来抽象函数比在源代码中使用“if”预 | ||
| 606 | 处理器语句更干净。 | ||
| 607 | |||
| 608 | 把你的东西放进内核里 | ||
| 609 | ====================== | ||
| 610 | |||
| 611 | 为了让你的东西更正式、补丁更整洁,还有一些工作要做: | ||
| 612 | |||
| 613 | - 搞清楚你在谁的地界儿上干活。查看源文件的顶部、 ``MAINTAINERS`` 文件以及 | ||
| 614 | ``CREDITS`` 文件的最后一部分。你应该和此人协调,确保你没有重新发明轮子, | ||
| 615 | 或者尝试一些已经被拒绝的东西。 | ||
| 616 | |||
| 617 | 确保你把你的名字和电子邮件地址放在你创建或修改的任何文件的顶部。当人们发 | ||
| 618 | 现一个缺陷,或者想要做出修改时,这是他们首先会看的地方。 | ||
| 619 | |||
| 620 | - 通常你需要一个配置选项来支持你的内核编程。在适当的目录中编辑 ``Kconfig`` 。 | ||
| 621 | 配置语言很容易通过剪切和粘贴来使用,在 | ||
| 622 | Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst 中有完整的文档。 | ||
| 623 | |||
| 624 | 在您对选项的描述中,请确保同时照顾到了专家用户和对此功能一无所知的用户。 | ||
| 625 | 在此说明任何不兼容和问题。结尾一定要写上“如有疑问,就选N”(或者是“Y”); | ||
| 626 | 这是针对那些看不懂你在说什么的人的。 | ||
| 627 | |||
| 628 | - 编辑 ``Makefile`` :配置变量在这里导出,因此通常你只需添加一行 | ||
| 629 | “obj-$(CONFIG_xxx) += xxx.o”。语法记录在 | ||
| 630 | Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst 。 | ||
| 631 | |||
| 632 | - 如果你做了一些有意义的事情,那可以把自己放进 ``CREDITS`` ,通常不止一个 | ||
| 633 | 文件(无论如何你的名字都应该在源文件的顶部)。维护人员意味着您希望在对 | ||
| 634 | 子系统进行更改时得到询问,并了解缺陷;这意味着对某部分代码做出更多承诺。 | ||
| 635 | |||
| 636 | - 最后,别忘记去阅读 Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst , | ||
| 637 | 也许还有 Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst 。 | ||
| 638 | |||

| 24 | OpenRISC工具链和Linux的构建指南 | ||
| 25 | =============================== | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 为了构建和运行Linux for OpenRISC,你至少需要一个基本的工具链,或许 | ||
| 28 | 还需要架构模拟器。 这里概述了准备就位这些部分的步骤。 | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | 1) 工具链 | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | 工具链二进制文件可以从openrisc.io或我们的github发布页面获得。不同 | ||
| 33 | 工具链的构建指南可以在openrisc.io或Stafford的工具链构建和发布脚本 | ||
| 34 | 中找到。 | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | ====== ================================================= | ||
| 37 | 二进制 https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-gcc/releases | ||
| 38 | 工具链 https://openrisc.io/software | ||
| 39 | 构建 https://github.com/stffrdhrn/or1k-toolchain-build | ||
| 40 | ====== ================================================= | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | 2) 构建 | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 像往常一样构建Linux内核:: | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | make ARCH=openrisc CROSS_COMPILE="or1k-linux-" defconfig | ||
| 47 | make ARCH=openrisc CROSS_COMPILE="or1k-linux-" | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 3) 在FPGA上运行(可选) | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | OpenRISC社区通常使用FuseSoC来管理构建和编程SoC到FPGA中。 下面是用 | ||
| 52 | OpenRISC SoC对De0 Nano开发板进行编程的一个例子。 在构建过程中, | ||
| 53 | FPGA RTL是从FuseSoC IP核库中下载的代码,并使用FPGA供应商工具构建。 | ||
| 54 | 二进制文件用openocd加载到电路板上。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | :: | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | git clone https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc | ||
| 59 | cd fusesoc | ||
| 60 | sudo pip install -e . | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | fusesoc init | ||
| 63 | fusesoc build de0_nano | ||
| 64 | fusesoc pgm de0_nano | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg \ | ||
| 67 | -f board/or1k_generic.cfg | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | telnet localhost 4444 | ||
| 70 | > init | ||
| 71 | > halt; load_image vmlinux ; reset | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | 4) 在模拟器上运行(可选) | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | QEMU是一个处理器仿真器,我们推荐它来模拟OpenRISC平台。 请按照QEMU网 | ||
| 76 | 站上的OpenRISC说明,让Linux在QEMU上运行。 你可以自己构建QEMU,但你的 | ||
| 77 | Linux发行版可能提供了支持OpenRISC的二进制包。 | ||

| 29 | 36 | 首先,相信内核代码标准并不重要,也不强制执行。但事实上,如果没有按照标准 | |
| 30 | 首先,要相信内核编码标准并不重要,也不强制执行。事实上,如果没有按照标准对代 | 37 | 编写代码,那么新代码将很难加入到内核中;许多开发人员甚至会在审查代码之前要求 |

| 32 | 前要求对代码进行重新格式化。一个与内核一样大的代码库需要一些统一的代码,以使 | 39 | 开发人员能够快速理解其中的任何部分。所以再也经不起奇怪格式的代码的折腾了。 |
| 33 | 开发人员能够快速理解其中的任何部分。所以已经没有空间来存放奇怪的格式化代码了。 | 40 | |
| 34 | 41 | 内核的代码风格偶尔会与雇主的强制风格发生冲突。在这种情况下,必须在代码合并 | |

| 38 | 45 | 另一个危害是认为已经在内核中的代码迫切需要修复代码样式。开发者可能会开始编写 | |
| 39 | 另一个陷阱是假定已经在内核中的代码迫切需要编码样式的修复。开发人员可能会开始 | 46 | 重新格式化补丁,作为熟悉开发过程的一种方式,或者作为将其名字写入内核变更日志 |

| 43 | 同时修复它的样式是很自然的,但是编码样式的更改不应该仅为了更改而进行。 | 50 | |
| 44 | 51 | 代码风格文档也不应该被视为绝对不可违反的规则。如果有一个足够的理由反对这种 | |

| 66 | 73 | ||
| 67 | - 您发布的补丁程序系列几乎肯定不会是工作系统中的一系列更改。相反,您所做的 | 74 | - 您发布的补丁系列几乎肯定不会是开发过程中版本控制系统中的一系列更改。相反, |

| 71 | - 每个逻辑上独立的变更都应该格式化为单独的补丁。这些更改可以是小的(“向此 | 78 | - 每个逻辑上独立的变更都应该格式化为单独的补丁。这些更改可以是小的(如“向 |

| 15 | |||
| 16 | 此文档仅描述RISC-V Linux 启动文件头的详情。 | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | TODO: | ||
| 19 | 写一个完整的启动指南。 | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | 在解压后的Linux内核镜像中存在以下64字节的文件头:: | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | u32 code0; /* Executable code */ | ||
| 24 | u32 code1; /* Executable code */ | ||
| 25 | u64 text_offset; /* Image load offset, little endian */ | ||
| 26 | u64 image_size; /* Effective Image size, little endian */ | ||
| 27 | u64 flags; /* kernel flags, little endian */ | ||
| 28 | u32 version; /* Version of this header */ | ||
| 29 | u32 res1 = 0; /* Reserved */ | ||
| 30 | u64 res2 = 0; /* Reserved */ | ||
| 31 | u64 magic = 0x5643534952; /* Magic number, little endian, "RISCV" */ | ||
| 32 | u32 magic2 = 0x05435352; /* Magic number 2, little endian, "RSC\x05" */ | ||
| 33 | u32 res3; /* Reserved for PE COFF offset */ | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 这种头格式与PE/COFF文件头兼容,并在很大程度上受到ARM64文件头的启发。因此,ARM64 | ||
| 36 | 和RISC-V文件头可以在未来合并为一个共同的头。 | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 注意 | ||
| 39 | ==== | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | - 将来也可以复用这个文件头,用来对RISC-V的EFI桩提供支持。为了使内核镜像如同一个 | ||
| 42 | EFI应用程序一样加载,EFI规范中规定在内核镜像的开始需要PE/COFF镜像文件头。为了 | ||
| 43 | 支持EFI桩,应该用“MZ”魔术字符替换掉code0,并且res3(偏移量未0x3c)应指向PE/COFF | ||
| 44 | 文件头的其余部分. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | - 表示文件头版本号的Drop-bit位域 | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | ========== ========== | ||
| 49 | Bits 0:15 次要 版本 | ||
| 50 | Bits 16:31 主要 版本 | ||
| 51 | ========== ========== | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 这保持了新旧版本之间的兼容性。 | ||
| 54 | 当前版本被定义为0.2。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | - 从版本0.2开始,结构体成员“magic”就已经被弃用,在之后的版本中,可能会移除掉它。 | ||
| 57 | 最初,该成员应该与ARM64头的“magic”成员匹配,但遗憾的是并没有。 | ||
| 58 | “magic2”成员代替“magic”成员与ARM64头相匹配。 | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | - 在当前的文件头,标志位域只剩下了一个位。 | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | ===== ============================== | ||
| 63 | Bit 0 内核字节序。1 if BE, 0 if LE. | ||
| 64 | ===== ============================== | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | - 对于引导加载程序加载内核映像来说,image_size成员对引导加载程序而言是必须的,否 | ||
| 67 | 则将引导失败。 | ||

| 13 | Alan Kao <alankao@andestech.com>, Mar 2018 | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | 简介 | ||
| 16 | ------------ | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 截止本文撰写时,在The RISC-V ISA Privileged Version 1.10中提到的 perf_event | ||
| 19 | 相关特性如下: | ||
| 20 | (详情请查阅手册) | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * [m|s]counteren | ||
| 23 | * mcycle[h], cycle[h] | ||
| 24 | * minstret[h], instret[h] | ||
| 25 | * mhpeventx, mhpcounterx[h] | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 仅有以上这些功能,移植perf需要做很多工作,究其原因是缺少以下通用架构的性能 | ||
| 28 | 监测特性: | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | * 启用/停用计数器 | ||
| 31 | 在我们这里,计数器一直在自由运行。 | ||
| 32 | * 计数器溢出引起的中断 | ||
| 33 | 规范中没有这种功能。 | ||
| 34 | * 中断指示器 | ||
| 35 | 不可能所有的计数器都有很多的中断端口,所以需要一个中断指示器让软件来判断 | ||
| 36 | 哪个计数器刚好溢出。 | ||
| 37 | * 写入计数器 | ||
| 38 | 由于内核不能修改计数器,所以会有一个SBI来支持这个功能[1]。 另外,一些厂商 | ||
| 39 | 考虑实现M-S-U型号机器的硬件扩展来直接写入计数器。 | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 这篇文档旨在为开发者提供一个在内核中支持PMU的简要指南。下面的章节简要解释了 | ||
| 42 | perf' 机制和待办事项。 | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 你可以在这里查看以前的讨论[1][2]。 另外,查看附录中的相关内核结构体可能会有 | ||
| 45 | 帮助。 | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | 1. 初始化 | ||
| 49 | --------- | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | *riscv_pmu* 是一个类型为 *struct riscv_pmu* 的全局指针,它包含了根据perf内部 | ||
| 52 | 约定的各种方法和PMU-specific参数。人们应该声明这样的实例来代表PMU。 默认情况 | ||
| 53 | 下, *riscv_pmu* 指向一个常量结构体 *riscv_base_pmu* ,它对基准QEMU模型有非常 | ||
| 54 | 基础的支持。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 然后他/她可以将实例的指针分配给 *riscv_pmu* ,这样就可以利用已经实现的最小逻 | ||
| 58 | 辑,或者创建他/她自己的 *riscv_init_platform_pmu* 实现。 | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 换句话说,现有的 *riscv_base_pmu* 源只是提供了一个参考实现。 开发者可以灵活地 | ||
| 61 | 决定多少部分可用,在最极端的情况下,他们可以根据自己的需要定制每一个函数。 | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | 2. Event Initialization | ||
| 65 | ----------------------- | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | 当用户启动perf命令来监控一些事件时,首先会被用户空间的perf工具解释为多个 | ||
| 68 | *perf_event_open* 系统调用,然后进一步调用上一步分配的 *event_init* 成员函数 | ||
| 69 | 的主体。 在 *riscv_base_pmu* 的情况下,就是 *riscv_event_init* 。 | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | 该功能的主要目的是将用户提供的事件翻译成映射图,从而可以直接对HW-related的控 | ||
| 72 | 制寄存器或计数器进行操作。该翻译基于 *riscv_pmu* 中提供的映射和方法。 | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | 注意,有些功能也可以在这个阶段完成: | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | (1) 中断设置,这个在下一节说; | ||
| 77 | (2) 特限级设置(仅用户空间、仅内核空间、两者都有); | ||
| 78 | (3) 析构函数设置。 通常应用 *riscv_destroy_event* 即可; | ||
| 79 | (4) 对非采样事件的调整,这将被函数应用,如 *perf_adjust_period* ,通常如下:: | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | if (!is_sampling_event(event)) { | ||
| 82 | hwc->sample_period = x86_pmu.max_period; | ||
| 83 | hwc->last_period = hwc->sample_period; | ||
| 84 | local64_set(&hwc->period_left, hwc->sample_period); | ||
| 85 | } | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | 在 *riscv_base_pmu* 的情况下,目前只提供了(3)。 | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | 3. 中断 | ||
| 92 | ------- | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | 3.1. 中断初始化 | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | 这种情况经常出现在 *event_init* 方案的开头。通常情况下,这应该是一个代码段,如:: | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | int x86_reserve_hardware(void) | ||
| 99 | { | ||
| 100 | int err = 0; | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&pmc_refcount)) { | ||
| 103 | mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex); | ||
| 104 | if (atomic_read(&pmc_refcount) == 0) { | ||
| 105 | if (!reserve_pmc_hardware()) | ||
| 106 | err = -EBUSY; | ||
| 107 | else | ||
| 108 | reserve_ds_buffers(); | ||
| 109 | } | ||
| 110 | if (!err) | ||
| 111 | atomic_inc(&pmc_refcount); | ||
| 112 | mutex_unlock(&pmc_reserve_mutex); | ||
| 113 | } | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | return err; | ||
| 116 | } | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | 而神奇的是 *reserve_pmc_hardware* ,它通常做原子操作,使实现的IRQ可以从某个全局函 | ||
| 119 | 数指针访问。 而 *release_pmc_hardware* 的作用正好相反,它用在上一节提到的事件分配 | ||
| 120 | 器中。 | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | (注:从所有架构的实现来看,*reserve/release* 对总是IRQ设置,所以 *pmc_hardware* | ||
| 123 | 似乎有些误导。 它并不处理事件和物理计数器之间的绑定,这一点将在下一节介绍。) | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | 3.2. IRQ结构体 | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | 基本上,一个IRQ运行以下伪代码:: | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | for each hardware counter that triggered this overflow | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | get the event of this counter | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | // following two steps are defined as *read()*, | ||
| 134 | // check the section Reading/Writing Counters for details. | ||
| 135 | count the delta value since previous interrupt | ||
| 136 | update the event->count (# event occurs) by adding delta, and | ||
| 137 | event->hw.period_left by subtracting delta | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | if the event overflows | ||
| 140 | sample data | ||
| 141 | set the counter appropriately for the next overflow | ||
| 142 | |||
| 143 | if the event overflows again | ||
| 144 | too frequently, throttle this event | ||
| 145 | fi | ||
| 146 | fi | ||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | end for | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | 然而截至目前,没有一个RISC-V的实现为perf设计了中断,所以具体的实现要在未来完成。 | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | 4. Reading/Writing 计数 | ||
| 153 | ----------------------- | ||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | 它们看似差不多,但perf对待它们的态度却截然不同。 对于读,在 *struct pmu* 中有一个 | ||
| 156 | *read* 接口,但它的作用不仅仅是读。 根据上下文,*read* 函数不仅要读取计数器的内容 | ||
| 157 | (event->count),还要更新左周期到下一个中断(event->hw.period_left)。 | ||
| 158 | |||
| 159 | 但 perf 的核心不需要直接写计数器。 写计数器隐藏在以下两点的抽象化之后, | ||
| 160 | 1) *pmu->start* ,从字面上看就是开始计数,所以必须把计数器设置成一个合适的值,以 | ||
| 161 | 便下一次中断; | ||
| 162 | 2)在IRQ里面,应该把计数器设置成同样的合理值。 | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | 在RISC-V中,读操作不是问题,但写操作就需要费些力气了,因为S模式不允许写计数器。 | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | 5. add()/del()/start()/stop() | ||
| 168 | ----------------------------- | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | 基本思想: add()/del() 向PMU添加/删除事件,start()/stop() 启动/停止PMU中某个事件 | ||
| 171 | 的计数器。 所有这些函数都使用相同的参数: *struct perf_event *event* 和 *int flag* 。 | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | 把 perf 看作一个状态机,那么你会发现这些函数作为这些状态之间的状态转换过程。 | ||
| 174 | 定义了三种状态(event->hw.state): | ||
| 175 | |||
| 176 | * PERF_HES_STOPPED: 计数停止 | ||
| 177 | * PERF_HES_UPTODATE: event->count是最新的 | ||
| 178 | * PERF_HES_ARCH: 依赖于体系结构的用法,。。。我们现在并不需要它。 | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | 这些状态转换的正常流程如下: | ||
| 181 | |||
| 182 | * 用户启动一个 perf 事件,导致调用 *event_init* 。 | ||
| 183 | * 当被上下文切换进来的时候,*add* 会被 perf core 调用,并带有一个标志 PERF_EF_START, | ||
| 184 | 也就是说事件被添加后应该被启动。 在这个阶段,如果有的话,一般事件会被绑定到一个物 | ||
| 185 | 理计数器上。当状态变为PERF_HES_STOPPED和PERF_HES_UPTODATE,因为现在已经停止了, | ||
| 186 | (软件)事件计数不需要更新。 | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | - 然后调用 *start* ,并启用计数器。 | ||
| 189 | 通过PERF_EF_RELOAD标志,它向计数器写入一个适当的值(详细情况请参考上一节)。 | ||
| 190 | 如果标志不包含PERF_EF_RELOAD,则不会写入任何内容。 | ||
| 191 | 现在状态被重置为none,因为它既没有停止也没有更新(计数已经开始)。 | ||
| 192 | |||
| 193 | *当被上下文切换出来时被调用。 然后,它检查出PMU中的所有事件,并调用 *stop* 来更新它们 | ||
| 194 | 的计数。 | ||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | - *stop* 被 *del* 和perf核心调用,标志为PERF_EF_UPDATE,它经常以相同的逻辑和 *read* | ||
| 197 | 共用同一个子程序。 | ||
| 198 | 状态又一次变为PERF_HES_STOPPED和PERF_HES_UPTODATE。 | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | - 这两对程序的生命周期: *add* 和 *del* 在任务切换时被反复调用;*start* 和 *stop* 在 | ||
| 201 | perf核心需要快速停止和启动时也会被调用,比如在调整中断周期时。 | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | 目前的实现已经足够了,将来可以很容易地扩展到功能。 | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | A. 相关结构体 | ||
| 206 | ------------- | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | * struct pmu: include/linux/perf_event.h | ||
| 209 | * struct riscv_pmu: arch/riscv/include/asm/perf_event.h | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 两个结构体都被设计为只读。 | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | *struct pmu* 定义了一些函数指针接口,它们大多以 *struct perf_event* 作为主参数,根据 | ||
| 214 | perf的内部状态机处理perf事件(详情请查看kernel/events/core.c)。 | ||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | *struct riscv_pmu* 定义了PMU的具体参数。 命名遵循所有其它架构的惯例。 | ||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | * struct perf_event: include/linux/perf_event.h | ||
| 219 | * struct hw_perf_event | ||
| 220 | |||
| 221 | 表示 perf 事件的通用结构体,以及硬件相关的细节。 | ||
| 222 | |||
| 223 | * struct riscv_hw_events: arch/riscv/include/asm/perf_event.h | ||
| 224 | |||
| 225 | 保存事件状态的结构有两个固定成员。 | ||
| 226 | 事件的数量和事件的数组。 | ||

| 17 | |||
| 18 | 声道模式 | ||
| 19 | 这是一个用于更改环绕声道设置的枚举控件,仅在环绕声道打开时显示出现。 | ||
| 20 | 它给出要使用的通道数:"2ch","4ch","6ch",和"8ch"。根据配置,这还控 | ||
| 21 | 制多I/O插孔的插孔重分配。 | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 自动静音模式 | ||
| 24 | 这是一个枚举控件,用于更改耳机和线路输出插孔的自动静音行为。如果内 | ||
| 25 | 置扬声器、耳机和/或线路输出插孔在机器上可用,则显示该控件。当只有 | ||
| 26 | 耳机或者线路输出的时候,它给出”禁用“和”启用“状态。当启用后,插孔插 | ||
| 27 | 入后扬声器会自动静音。 | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 当耳机和线路输出插孔都存在时,它给出”禁用“、”仅扬声器“和”线路输出+扬 | ||
| 30 | 声器“。当”仅扬声器“被选择,插入耳机或者线路输出插孔可使扬声器静音, | ||
| 31 | 但不会使线路输出静音。当线路输出+扬声器被选择,插入耳机插孔会同时使扬 | ||
| 32 | 声器和线路输出静音。 | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 矽玛特编解码器 | ||
| 36 | -------------- | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 模拟环回 | ||
| 39 | 此控件启用/禁用模拟环回电路。只有在编解码器提示中将”lookback“设置为真 | ||
| 40 | 时才会出现(见HD-Audio.txt)。请注意,在某些编解码器上,模拟环回和正常 | ||
| 41 | PCM播放是独占的,即当此选项打开时,您将听不到任何PCM流。 | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 交换中置/低频 | ||
| 44 | 交换中置和低频通道顺序,通常情况下,左侧对应中置,右侧对应低频,启动此 | ||
| 45 | 项后,左边低频,右边中置。 | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | 耳机作为线路输出 | ||
| 48 | 当此控制开启时,将耳机视为线路输出插孔。也就是说,耳机不会自动静音其他 | ||
| 49 | 线路输出,没有耳机放大器被设置到引脚上。 | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | 麦克风插口模式、线路插孔模式等 | ||
| 52 | 这些枚举控制输入插孔引脚的方向和偏置。根据插孔类型,它可以设置为”麦克风 | ||
| 53 | 输入“和”线路输入“以确定输入偏置,或者当引脚是环绕声道的多I/O插孔时,它 | ||
| 54 | 可以设置为”线路输出“。 | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 威盛编解码器 | ||
| 58 | ------------ | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | 智能5.1 | ||
| 61 | 一个枚举控件,用于为环绕输出重新分配多个I/O插孔的任务。当它打开时,相应 | ||
| 62 | 的输入插孔(通常是线路输入和麦克风输入)被切换为环绕和中央低频输出插孔。 | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | 独立耳机 | ||
| 65 | 启用此枚举控制时,耳机输出从单个流(第三个PCM,如hw:0,2)而不是主流路由。 | ||
| 66 | 如果耳机DAC与侧边或中央低频通道DAC共享,则DAC将自动切换到耳机。 | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | 环回混合 | ||
| 69 | 一个用于确定是否启动了模拟环回路由的枚举控件。当它启用后,模拟环回路由到 | ||
| 70 | 前置通道。同样,耳机与扬声器输出也采用相同的路径。作为一个副作用,当设置 | ||
| 71 | 此模式后,单个音量控制将不再适用于耳机和扬声器,因为只有一个DAC连接到混 | ||
| 72 | 音器小部件。 | ||
| 73 | |||

| 75 | 此控件决定是否启动每个插孔的动态电源控制检测。启用时,根据插孔的插入情况 | ||
| 76 | 动态更改组件的电源状态(D0/D3)以节省电量消耗。但是,如果您的系统没有提 | ||
| 77 | 供正确的插孔检测,这将无法工作;在这种情况下,请关闭此控件。 | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | 插孔检测 | ||
| 80 | 此控件仅为VT1708编解码器提供,它不会为每个插孔插拔提供适当的未请求事件。 | ||
| 81 | 当此控件打开,驱动将轮询插孔检测,以便耳机自动静音可以工作,而关闭此控 | ||
| 82 | 件将降低功耗。 | ||
