更改一系列补丁的父提交（起始提交）。例如，变基操作可以将基于上一内核版本 + 的一个补丁集重建到当前版本上。在下面的讨论中，我们将此操作称为“变根”。 + + - 通过修复（或删除）损坏的提交、添加补丁、添加标记以更改一系列补丁的历史， + 来提交变更日志或更改已应用提交的顺序。在下文中，这种类型的操作称为“历史 + 修改” + +术语“变基”将用于指代上述两种操作。如果使用得当，变基可以产生更清晰、更整洁的 +开发历史；如果使用不当，它可能会模糊历史并引入错误。 + +以下一些经验法则可以帮助开发者避免最糟糕的变基风险： + + - 已经发布到你私人系统之外世界的历史通常不应更改。其他人可能会拉取你的树 + 的副本，然后基于它进行工作；修改你的树会给他们带来麻烦。如果工作需要变基， + 这通常是表明它还没有准备好提交到公共存储库的信号。 + + 但是，总有例外。有些树（linux-next是一个典型的例子）由于它们的需要经常 + 变基，开发人员知道不要基于它们来工作。开发人员有时会公开一个不稳定的分支， + 供其他人或自动测试服务进行测试。如果您确实以这种方式公开了一个可能不稳定 + 的分支，请确保潜在使用者知道不要基于它来工作。 + + - 不要在包含由他人创建的历史的分支上变基。如果你从别的开发者的仓库拉取了变更， + 那你现在就成了他们历史记录的保管人。你不应该改变它，除了少数例外情况。例如 + 树中有问题的提交必须显式恢复（即通过另一个补丁修复），而不是通过修改历史而 + 消失。 + + - 没有合理理由，不要对树变根。仅为了切换到更新的基或避免与上游储存库的合并 + 通常不是合理理由。 + + - 如果你必须对储存库进行变根，请不要随机选取一个提交作为新基。在发布节点之间 + 内核通常处于一个相对不稳定的状态；基于其中某点进行开发会增加遇到意外错误的 + 几率。当一系列补丁必须移动到新基时，请选择移动到一个稳定节点（例如-rc版本 + 节点）。 + + - 请知悉对补丁系列进行变根（或做明显的历史修改）会改变它们的开发环境，且很 + 可能使做过的大部分测试失效。一般来说，变基后的补丁系列应当像新代码一样对 + 待，并重新测试。 + +合并窗口麻烦的一个常见原因是，Linus收到了一个明显在拉取请求发送之前不久才变根 +（通常是变根到随机的提交上）的补丁系列。这样一个系列被充分测试的可能性相对较 +低，拉取请求被接受的几率也同样较低。 + +相反，如果变基仅限于私有树、提交基于一个通用的起点、且经过充分测试，则引起 +麻烦的可能性就很低。 + +合并 +==== + +内核开发过程中，合并是一个很常见的操作；5.1版本开发周期中有超过1126个合并 +——差不多占了整体的9%。内核开发工作积累在100多个不同的子系统树中，每个 +子系统树都可能包含多个主题分支；每个分支通常独立于其他分支进行开发。因此 +在任何给定分支进入上游储存库之前，至少需要一次合并。 + +许多项目要求拉取请求中的分支基于当前主干，这样历史记录中就不会出现合并提交。 +内核并不是这样；任何为了避免合并而重新对分支变基都很可能导致麻烦。 + +子系统维护人员发现他们必须进行两种类型的合并：从较低层级的子系统树和从其他 +子系统树（同级树或主线）进行合并。这两种情况下要遵循的最佳实践是不同的。 + +合并较低层级树 +-------------- + +较大的子系统往往有多个级别的维护人员，较低级别的维护人员向较高级别发送拉取 +请求。合并这样的请求执行几乎肯定会生成一个合并提交；这也是应该的。实际上， +子系统维护人员可能希望在极少数快进合并情况下使用 ``-–no-ff`` 标志来强制添加 +合并提交，以便记录合并的原因。 **任何** 类型的合并的变更日志必须说明 +*为什么* 合并。对于较低级别的树，“为什么”通常是对该取所带来的变化的总结。 + +各级维护人员都应在他们的拉取请求上使用经签名的标签，上游维护人员应在拉取分支 +时验证标签。不这样做会威胁整个开发过程的安全。 + +根据上面列出的规则，一旦您将其他人的历史记录合并到树中，您就不得对该分支进行 +变基，即使您能够这样做。 + +合并同级树或上游树 +------------------ + +虽然来自下游的合并是常见且不起眼的，但当需要将一个分支推向上游时，其中来自 +其他树的合并往往是一个危险信号。这种合并需要仔细考虑并加以充分证明，否则后续 +的拉取请求很可能会被拒绝。 + +想要将主分支合并到存储库中是很自然的；这种类型的合并通常被称为“反向合并” +。反向合并有助于确保与并行的开发没有冲突，并且通常会给人一种温暖、舒服的 +感觉，即处于最新。但这种诱惑几乎总是应该避免的。 + +为什么呢？反向合并将搅乱你自己分支的开发历史。它们会大大增加你遇到来自社区 +其他地方的错误的机会，且使你很难确保你所管理的工作稳定并准备好合入上游。 +频繁的合并还可以掩盖树中开发过程中的问题；它们会隐藏与其他树的交互，而这些 +交互不应该（经常）发生在管理良好的分支中。 + +也就是说，偶尔需要进行反向合并；当这种情况发生时，一定要在提交信息中记录 +*为什么* 。同样，在一个众所周知的稳定点进行合并，而不是随机提交。即使这样， +你也不应该反向合并一棵比你的直接上游树更高层级的树；如果确实需要更高级别的 +反向合并，应首先在上游树进行。 + +导致合并相关问题最常见的原因之一是：在发送拉取请求之前维护者合并上游以解决 +合并冲突。同样，这种诱惑很容易理解，但绝对应该避免。对于最终拉取请求来说 +尤其如此：Linus坚信他更愿意看到合并冲突，而不是不必要的反向合并。看到冲突 +可以让他了解潜在的问题所在。他做过很多合并（在5.1版本开发周期中是382次）， +而且在解决冲突方面也很在行——通常比参与的开发人员要强。 + +那么，当他们的子系统分支和主线之间发生冲突时，维护人员应该怎么做呢？最重要 +的一步是在拉取请求中提示Linus会发生冲突；如果啥都没说则表明您的分支可以正常 +合入。对于特别困难的冲突，创建并推送一个 *独立* 分支来展示你将如何解决问题。 +在拉取请求中提到该分支，但是请求本身应该针对未合并的分支。 + +即使不存在已知冲突，在发送拉取请求之前进行合并测试也是个好主意。它可能会提醒 +您一些在linux-next树中没有发现的问题，并帮助您准确地理解您正在要求上游做什么。 + +合并上游树或另一个子系统树的另一个原因是解决依赖关系。这些依赖性问题有时确实 +会发生，而且有时与另一棵树交叉合并是解决这些问题的最佳方法；同样，在这种情况 +下，合并提交应该解释为什么要进行合并。花点时间把它做好；会有人阅读这些变更 +日志。 + +然而依赖性问题通常表明需要改变方法。合并另一个子系统树以解决依赖性风险会带来 +其他缺陷，几乎永远不应这样做。如果该子系统树无法被合到上游，那么它的任何问题 +也都会阻碍你的树合并。更可取的选择包括与维护人员达成一致意见，在其中一个树中 +同时进行两组更改；或者创建一个主题分支专门处理可以合并到两个树中的先决条件提交。 +如果依赖关系与主要的基础结构更改相关，正确的解决方案可能是将依赖提交保留一个 +开发周期，以便这些更改有时间在主线上稳定。 + +最后 +==== + +在开发周期的开头合并主线是比较常见的，可以获取树中其他地方的更改和修复。同样， +这样的合并应该选择一个众所周知的发布点，而不是一些随机点。如果在合并窗口期间 +上游分支已完全清空到主线中，则可以使用以下命令向前拉取它:: + + git merge v5.2-rc1^0 + +“^0”使Git执行快进合并（在这种情况下这应该可以），从而避免多余的虚假合并提交。 + +上面列出的就是指导方针了。总是会有一些情况需要不同的解决方案，这些指导原则 +不应阻止开发人员在需要时做正确的事情。但是，我们应该时刻考虑是否真的出现了 +这样的需求，并准备好解释为什么需要做一些不寻常的事情。 From 989cfaecbd2c06800d13f49206498602b1e769a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu XiangCheng Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 18:35:05 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 008/115] docs/zh_CN: Add translation zh_CN/maintainer/pull-requests.rst Add a new translation Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/pull-requests.rst and link it to zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst Signed-off-by: Wu XiangCheng Reviewed-by: Yanteng Si Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/4774d1b7976678ce97c4356bd71509df0cec1ffc.1621243426.git.bobwxc@email.cn Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet --- .../translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst | 2 +- .../zh_CN/maintainer/pull-requests.rst | 148 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/pull-requests.rst diff --git a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst index 21ab7cebf78b..1a1222b78715 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst @@ -15,9 +15,9 @@ configure-git rebasing-and-merging + pull-requests TODOList: -- pull-requests -

This subsystem handles + this in a way to successfully neutralize the problems. + There is a Kconfig option to force these to be enabled + when needed, so problems should not occur. + + All of these patches have been successfully tested in the latest + linux-next releases, and the original problems that it found have + all been resolved (apologies to anyone living near Canberra for the + lack of the Kconfig options in the earlier versions of the + linux-next tree creations.) + + Signed-off-by: Your-name-here + + +此标记消息格式就像一个git提交。顶部有一行“总结标题”， 一定要在下面sign-off。 + +现在您已经有了一个本地签名标记，您需要将它推送到可以被拉取的位置:: + + git push origin char-misc-4.15-rc1 + + +创建拉取请求 +------------ + +最后要做的是创建拉取请求消息。可以使用 ``git request-pull`` 命令让 ``git`` +为你做这件事，但它需要确定你想拉取什么，以及拉取针对的基础（显示正确的拉取 +更改和变更状态）。以下命令将生成一个拉取请求:: + + git request-pull master git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/ char-misc-4.15-rc1 + +引用Greg的话:: + + 此命令要求git比较从“char-misc-4.15-rc1”标记位置到“master”分支头（上述 + 例子中指向了我从Linus的树分叉的地方，通常是-rc发布）的差异，并去使用 + git:// 协议拉取。如果你希望使用 https:// 协议，也可以用在这里（但是请 + 注意，部分人由于防火墙问题没法用https协议拉取）。 + + 如果char-misc-4.15-rc1标记没有出现在我要求拉取的仓库中，git会提醒 + 它不在那里，所以记得推送到公开地方。 + + “git request-pull”会包含git树的地址和需要拉取的特定标记，以及标记 + 描述全文（详尽描述标记）。同时它也会创建此拉取请求的差异状态和单个 + 提交的缩短日志。 + +Linus回复说他倾向于 ``git://`` 协议。其他维护者可能有不同的偏好。另外，请注意 +如果你创建的拉取请求没有签名标记， ``https://`` 可能是更好的选择。完整的讨论 +请看原邮件。 + + +提交拉取请求 +------------ + +拉取请求的提交方式与普通补丁相同。向维护人员发送内联电子邮件并抄送LKML以及 +任何必要特定子系统的列表。对Linus的拉取请求通常有如下主题行:: + + [GIT PULL] changes for v4.15-rc1 From 91643aba949347ab46b870524dd9348781fa8b1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu XiangCheng Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 18:35:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 009/115] docs/zh_CN: Add translation zh_CN/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst Add a new translation Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst and link it to zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst Signed-off-by: Wu XiangCheng Reviewed-by: Yanteng Si Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e5b0838317cbc2f8fb3a9480f4604b6f099db975.1621243426.git.bobwxc@email.cn Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet --- .../translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst | 2 +- .../maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst | 92 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst diff --git a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst index 1a1222b78715..18a820741f52 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/maintainer/index.rst @@ -16,8 +16,8 @@ configure-git rebasing-and-merging pull-requests + maintainer-entry-profile TODOList: -- maintainer-entry-profile -

+ struct uio_mem *mem; + }; + +如果你有一个uio_map结构体，找到其嵌入的kobject只是一个使用kobj成员的问题。 +然而，与kobjects一起工作的代码往往会遇到相反的问题：给定一个结构体kobject +的指针，指向包含结构体的指针是什么？你必须避免使用一些技巧（比如假设 +kobject在结构的开头），相反，你得使用container_of()宏，其可以在 ```` +中找到:: + + container_of(ptr, type, member) + +其中: + + * ``ptr`` 是一个指向嵌入kobject的指针， + * ``type`` 是包含结构体的类型， + * ``member`` 是 ``指针`` 所指向的结构体域的名称。 + +container_of()的返回值是一个指向相应容器类型的指针。因此，例如，一个嵌入到 +uio_map结构 **中** 的kobject结构体的指针kp可以被转换为一个指向 **包含** uio_map +结构体的指针，方法是:: + + struct uio_map *u_map = container_of(kp, struct uio_map, kobj); + +为了方便起见，程序员经常定义一个简单的宏，用于将kobject指针 **反推** 到包含 +类型。在早期的 ``drivers/uio/uio.c`` 中正是如此，你可以在这里看到:: + + struct uio_map { + struct kobject kobj; + struct uio_mem *mem; + }; + + #define to_map(map) container_of(map, struct uio_map, kobj) + +其中宏的参数“map”是一个指向有关的kobject结构体的指针。该宏随后被调用:: + + struct uio_map *map = to_map(kobj); + + +kobjects的初始化 +================ + +当然，创建kobject的代码必须初始化该对象。一些内部字段是通过（强制）调用kobject_init() +来设置的:: + + void kobject_init(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_type *ktype); + +ktype是正确创建kobject的必要条件，因为每个kobject都必须有一个相关的kobj_type。 +在调用kobject_init()后，为了向sysfs注册kobject，必须调用函数kobject_add():: + + int kobject_add(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobject *parent, + const char *fmt, ...); + +这将正确设置kobject的父级和kobject的名称。如果该kobject要与一个特定的kset相关 +联，在调用kobject_add()之前必须分配kobj->kset。如果kset与kobject相关联，则 +kobject的父级可以在调用kobject_add()时被设置为NULL，则kobject的父级将是kset +本身。 + +由于kobject的名字是在它被添加到内核时设置的，所以kobject的名字不应该被直接操作。 +如果你必须改变kobject的名字，请调用kobject_rename():: + + int kobject_rename(struct kobject *kobj, const char *new_name); + +kobject_rename()函数不会执行任何锁定操作，也不会对name进行可靠性检查，所以调用 +者自己检查和串行化操作是明智的选择 + +有一个叫kobject_set_name()的函数，但那是历史遗产，正在被删除。如果你的代码需 +要调用这个函数，那么它是不正确的，需要被修复。 + +要正确访问kobject的名称，请使用函数kobject_name():: + + const char *kobject_name(const struct kobject * kobj); + +有一个辅助函数可以同时初始化和添加kobject到内核中，令人惊讶的是，该函数被称为 +kobject_init_and_add():: + + int kobject_init_and_add(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_type *ktype, + struct kobject *parent, const char *fmt, ...); + +参数与上面描述的单个kobject_init()和kobject_add()函数相同。 + + +Uevents +======= + +当一个kobject被注册到kobject核心后，你需要向全世界宣布它已经被创建了。这可以通 +过调用kobject_uevent()来实现:: + + int kobject_uevent(struct kobject *kobj, enum kobject_action action); + +当kobject第一次被添加到内核时，使用 *KOBJ_ADD* 动作。这应该在该kobject的任 +何属性或子对象被正确初始化后进行，因为当这个调用发生时，用户空间会立即开始寻 +找它们。 + +当kobject从内核中移除时（关于如何做的细节在下面）， **KOBJ_REMOVE** 的uevent +将由kobject核心自动创建，所以调用者不必担心手动操作。 + + +引用计数 +======== + +kobject的关键功能之一是作为它所嵌入的对象的一个引用计数器。只要对该对象的引用 +存在，该对象（以及支持它的代码）就必须继续存在。用于操作kobject的引用计数的低 +级函数是:: + + struct kobject *kobject_get(struct kobject *kobj); + void kobject_put(struct kobject *kobj); + +对kobject_get()的成功调用将增加kobject的引用计数器值并返回kobject的指针。 + +当引用被释放时，对kobject_put()的调用将递减引用计数值，并可能释放该对象。请注 +意，kobject_init()将引用计数设置为1，所以设置kobject的代码最终需要kobject_put() +来释放该引用。 + +因为kobjects是动态的，所以它们不能以静态方式或在堆栈中声明，而总是以动态方式分 +配。未来版本的内核将包含对静态创建的kobjects的运行时检查，并将警告开发者这种不 +当的使用。 + +如果你使用struct kobject只是为了给你的结构体提供一个引用计数器，请使用struct kref +来代替；kobject是多余的。关于如何使用kref结构体的更多信息，请参见Linux内核源代 +码树中的文件Documentation/core-api/kref.rst + + +创建“简单的”kobjects +==================== + +有时，开发者想要的只是在sysfs层次结构中创建一个简单的目录，而不必去搞那些复杂 +的ksets、显示和存储函数，以及其他细节。这是一个应该创建单个kobject的例外。要 +创建这样一个条目（即简单的目录），请使用函数:: + + struct kobject *kobject_create_and_add(const char *name, struct kobject *parent); + +这个函数将创建一个kobject，并将其放在sysfs中指定的父kobject下面的位置。要创 +建与此kobject相关的简单属性，请使用:: + + int sysfs_create_file(struct kobject *kobj, const struct attribute *attr); + +或者:: + + int sysfs_create_group(struct kobject *kobj, const struct attribute_group *grp); + +这里使用的两种类型的属性，与已经用kobject_create_and_add()创建的kobject， +都可以是kobj_attribute类型，所以不需要创建特殊的自定义属性。 + +参见示例模块， ``samples/kobject/kobject-example.c`` ，以了解一个简单的 +kobject和属性的实现。 + + + +ktypes和释放方法 +================ + +以上讨论中还缺少一件重要的事情，那就是当一个kobject的引用次数达到零的时候 +会发生什么。创建kobject的代码通常不知道何时会发生这种情况；首先，如果它知 +道，那么使用kobject就没有什么意义。当sysfs被引入时，即使是可预测的对象生命 +周期也会变得更加复杂，因为内核的其他部分可以获得在系统中注册的任何kobject +的引用。 + +最终的结果是，一个由kobject保护的结构体在其引用计数归零之前不能被释放。引 +用计数不受创建kobject的代码的直接控制。因此，每当它的一个kobjects的最后一 +个引用消失时，必须异步通知该代码。 + +一旦你通过kobject_add()注册了你的kobject，你绝对不能使用kfree()来直接释 +放它。唯一安全的方法是使用kobject_put()。在kobject_init()之后总是使用 +kobject_put()以避免错误的发生是一个很好的做法。 + +这个通知是通过kobject的release()方法完成的。通常这样的方法有如下形式:: + + void my_object_release(struct kobject *kobj) + { + struct my_object *mine = container_of(kobj, struct my_object, kobj); + + /* Perform any additional cleanup on this object, then... */ + kfree(mine); + } + +有一点很重要：每个kobject都必须有一个release()方法，而且这个kobject必 +须持续存在（处于一致的状态），直到这个方法被调用。如果这些约束条件没有 +得到满足，那么代码就是有缺陷的。注意，如果你忘记提供release()方法，内 +核会警告你。不要试图通过提供一个“空”的释放函数来摆脱这个警告。 + +如果你的清理函数只需要调用kfree()，那么你必须创建一个包装函数，该函数 +使用container_of()来向上造型到正确的类型（如上面的例子所示），然后在整个 +结构体上调用kfree()。 + +注意，kobject的名字在release函数中是可用的，但它不能在这个回调中被改 +变。否则，在kobject核心中会出现内存泄漏，这让人很不爽。 + +有趣的是，release()方法并不存储在kobject本身；相反，它与ktype相关。 +因此，让我们引入结构体kobj_type:: + + struct kobj_type { + void (*release)(struct kobject *kobj); + const struct sysfs_ops *sysfs_ops; + struct attribute **default_attrs; + const struct attribute_group **default_groups; + const struct kobj_ns_type_operations *(*child_ns_type)(struct kobject *kobj); + const void *(*namespace)(struct kobject *kobj); + void (*get_ownership)(struct kobject *kobj, kuid_t *uid, kgid_t *gid); + }; + +这个结构提用来描述一个特定类型的kobject（或者更正确地说，包含对象的 +类型）。每个kobject都需要有一个相关的kobj_type结构；当你调用 +kobject_init()或kobject_init_and_add()时必须指定一个指向该结构的 +指针。 + +当然，kobj_type结构中的release字段是指向这种类型的kobject的release() +方法的一个指针。另外两个字段（sysfs_ops 和 default_attrs）控制这种 +类型的对象如何在 sysfs 中被表示；它们超出了本文的范围。 + +default_attrs 指针是一个默认属性的列表，它将为任何用这个 ktype 注册 +的 kobject 自动创建。 + + +ksets +===== + +一个kset仅仅是一个希望相互关联的kobjects的集合。没有限制它们必须是相 +同的ktype，但是如果它们不是相同的，就要非常小心。 + +一个kset有以下功能: + + - 它像是一个包含一组对象的袋子。一个kset可以被内核用来追踪“所有块 + 设备”或“所有PCI设备驱动”。 + + - kset也是sysfs中的一个子目录，与kset相关的kobjects可以在这里显示 + 出来。每个kset都包含一个kobject，它可以被设置为其他kobject的父对象； + sysfs层次结构的顶级目录就是以这种方式构建的。 + + - Ksets可以支持kobjects的 "热插拔"，并影响uevent事件如何被报告给 + 用户空间。 + + 在面向对象的术语中，“kset”是顶级的容器类；ksets包含它们自己的kobject， + 但是这个kobject是由kset代码管理的，不应该被任何其他用户所操纵。 + + kset在一个标准的内核链表中保存它的子对象。Kobjects通过其kset字段指向其 + 包含的kset。在几乎所有的情况下，属于一个kset的kobjects在它们的父 + 对象中都有那个kset（或者，严格地说，它的嵌入kobject）。 + + 由于kset中包含一个kobject，它应该总是被动态地创建，而不是静态地 + 或在堆栈中声明。要创建一个新的kset，请使用:: + + struct kset *kset_create_and_add(const char *name, + const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops, + struct kobject *parent_kobj); + +当你完成对kset的处理后，调用:: + + void kset_unregister(struct kset *k); + +来销毁它。这将从sysfs中删除该kset并递减其引用计数值。当引用计数 +为零时，该kset将被释放。因为对该kset的其他引用可能仍然存在， +释放可能发生在kset_unregister()返回之后。 + +一个使用kset的例子可以在内核树中的 ``samples/kobject/kset-example.c`` +文件中看到。 + +如果一个kset希望控制与它相关的kobjects的uevent操作，它可以使用 +结构体kset_uevent_ops来处理它:: + + struct kset_uevent_ops { + int (* const filter)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj); + const char *(* const name)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj); + int (* const uevent)(struct kset *kset, struct kobject *kobj, + struct kobj_uevent_env *env); + }; + + +过滤器函数允许kset阻止一个特定kobject的uevent被发送到用户空间。 +如果该函数返回0，该uevent将不会被发射出去。 + +name函数将被调用以覆盖uevent发送到用户空间的kset的默认名称。默 +认情况下，该名称将与kset本身相同，但这个函数，如果存在，可以覆盖 +该名称。 + +当uevent即将被发送至用户空间时，uevent函数将被调用，以允许更多 +的环境变量被添加到uevent中。 + +有人可能会问，鉴于没有提出执行该功能的函数，究竟如何将一个kobject +添加到一个kset中。答案是这个任务是由kobject_add()处理的。当一个 +kobject被传递给kobject_add()时，它的kset成员应该指向这个kobject +所属的kset。 kobject_add()将处理剩下的部分。 + +如果属于一个kset的kobject没有父kobject集，它将被添加到kset的目 +录中。并非所有的kset成员都必须住在kset目录中。如果在添加kobject +之前分配了一个明确的父kobject，那么该kobject将被注册到kset中， +但是被添加到父kobject下面。 + + +移除Kobject +=========== + +当一个kobject在kobject核心注册成功后，在代码使用完它时，必须将其 +清理掉。要做到这一点，请调用kobject_put()。通过这样做，kobject核 +心会自动清理这个kobject分配的所有内存。如果为这个对象发送了 ``KOBJ_ADD`` +uevent，那么相应的 ``KOBJ_REMOVE`` uevent也将被发送，任何其他的 +sysfs内务将被正确处理。 + +如果你需要分两次对kobject进行删除（比如说在你要销毁对象时无权睡眠）， +那么调用kobject_del()将从sysfs中取消kobject的注册。这使得kobject +“不可见”，但它并没有被清理掉，而且该对象的引用计数仍然是一样的。在稍 +后的时间调用kobject_put()来完成与该kobject相关的内存的清理。 + +kobject_del()可以用来放弃对父对象的引用，如果循环引用被构建的话。 +在某些情况下，一个父对象引用一个子对象是有效的。循环引用必须通过明 +确调用kobject_del()来打断，这样一个释放函数就会被调用，前一个循环 +中的对象会相互释放。 + + +示例代码出处 +============ + +关于正确使用ksets和kobjects的更完整的例子，请参见示例程序 +``samples/kobject/{kobject-example.c,kset-example.c}`` ，如果 +您选择 ``CONFIG_SAMPLE_KOBJECT`` ，它们将被构建为可加载模块。 From 35f1fceaa288ee0954ced2d740b95211aef4cc80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chun-Hung Tseng Date: Sun, 16 May 2021 18:59:55 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 016/115] Documentation: scheduler: fixed 2 typos in sched-nice-design.rst This patch fixed 2 spelling errors in the documentation.

Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via commit 3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO"). I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use of include/linux/bits.h.

The xeCJK package provides macros for enabling and disabling its effect in the middle of a document, namely \makexeCJKactive and \makexeCJKinactive. So the goal of this change is to activate xeCJK in the relevant chapters in translations. To do this: o Define custom macros in the preamble depending on the availability of the "Noto Sans CJK" font so that those macros can be used regardless of the use of xeCJK package. o Patch \sphinxtableofcontents so that xeCJK is inactivated after table of contents. o Embed those custom macros in each language's index.rst file as a ".. raw:: latex" construct. Note: A CJK chapter needs \kerneldocCJKon in front of its chapter heading, while a non-CJK chapter should have \kerneldocCJKoff below its chapter heading. This is to make sure the CJK font is available to CJK chapter's heading and ending page's footer. Tested against Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.0.2.

However, even when --no-virtualenv, the current logic is still recomending to install a virtual env, due to a regression. It turns that the logic there is complex, as it depends on several different conditions. Split the code which recommends Sphinx on two separate functions, in order to clean up the code.

Miller + +*译注：TLB，Translation Lookaside Buffer，页表缓存/变换旁查缓冲器* + +本文描述了由Linux虚拟内存子系统调用的缓存/TLB刷新接口。它列举了每个接 +口，描述了它的预期目的，以及接口被调用后的预期副作用。 + +下面描述的副作用是针对单处理器的实现，以及在单个处理器上发生的情况。若 +为SMP，则只需将定义简单地扩展一下，使发生在某个特定接口的副作用扩展到系 +统的所有处理器上。不要被这句话吓到，以为SMP的缓存/tlb刷新一定是很低 +效的，事实上，这是一个可以进行很多优化的领域。例如，如果可以证明一个用 +户地址空间从未在某个cpu上执行过（见mm_cpumask()），那么就不需要在该 +cpu上对这个地址空间进行刷新。 + +首先是TLB刷新接口，因为它们是最简单的。在Linux下，TLB被抽象为cpu +用来缓存从软件页表获得的虚拟->物理地址转换的东西。这意味着，如果软件页 +表发生变化，这个“TLB”缓存中就有可能出现过时（脏）的翻译。因此，当软件页表 +发生变化时，内核会在页表发生 *变化后* 调用以下一种刷新方法： + +1) ``void flush_tlb_all(void)`` + + 最严格的刷新。在这个接口运行后，任何以前的页表修改都会对cpu可见。 + + 这通常是在内核页表被改变时调用的，因为这种转换在本质上是“全局”的。 + +2) ``void flush_tlb_mm(struct mm_struct *mm)`` + + 这个接口从TLB中刷新整个用户地址空间。在运行后，这个接口必须确保 + 以前对地址空间‘mm’的任何页表修改对cpu来说是可见的。也就是说，在 + 运行后，TLB中不会有‘mm’的页表项。 + + 这个接口被用来处理整个地址空间的页表操作，比如在fork和exec过程 + 中发生的事情。 + +3) ``void flush_tlb_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long start, unsigned long end)`` + + 这里我们要从TLB中刷新一个特定范围的（用户）虚拟地址转换。在运行后， + 这个接口必须确保以前对‘start’到‘end-1’范围内的地址空间‘vma->vm_mm’ + 的任何页表修改对cpu来说是可见的。也就是说，在运行后，TLB中不会有 + ‘mm’的页表项用于‘start’到‘end-1’范围内的虚拟地址。 + + “vma”是用于该区域的备份存储。主要是用于munmap()类型的操作。 + + 提供这个接口是希望端口能够找到一个合适的有效方法来从TLB中删除多 + 个页面大小的转换，而不是让内核为每个可能被修改的页表项调用 + flush_tlb_page(见下文)。 + +4) ``void flush_tlb_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr)`` + + 这一次我们需要从TLB中删除PAGE_SIZE大小的转换。‘vma’是Linux用来跟 + 踪进程的mmap区域的支持结构体，地址空间可以通过vma->vm_mm获得。另 + 外，可以通过测试（vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC）来查看这个区域是否是 + 可执行的（因此在split-tlb类型的设置中可能在“指令TLB”中）。 + + 在运行后，这个接口必须确保之前对用户虚拟地址“addr”的地址空间 + “vma->vm_mm”的页表修改对cpu来说是可见的。也就是说，在运行后，TLB + 中不会有虚拟地址‘addr’的‘vma->vm_mm’的页表项。 + + 这主要是在故障处理时使用。 + +5) ``void update_mmu_cache(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long address, pte_t *ptep)`` + + 在每个页面故障结束时，这个程序被调用，以告诉体系结构特定的代码，在 + 软件页表中，在地址空间“vma->vm_mm”的虚拟地址“地址”处，现在存在 + 一个翻译。 + + 可以用它所选择的任何方式使用这个信息来进行移植。例如，它可以使用这 + 个事件来为软件管理的TLB配置预装TLB转换。目前sparc64移植就是这么干 + 的。 + +接下来，我们有缓存刷新接口。一般来说，当Linux将现有的虚拟->物理映射 +改变为新的值时，其顺序将是以下形式之一:: + + 1) flush_cache_mm(mm); + change_all_page_tables_of(mm); + flush_tlb_mm(mm); + + 2) flush_cache_range(vma, start, end); + change_range_of_page_tables(mm, start, end); + flush_tlb_range(vma, start, end); + + 3) flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn); + set_pte(pte_pointer, new_pte_val); + flush_tlb_page(vma, addr); + +缓存级别的刷新将永远是第一位的，因为这允许我们正确处理那些缓存严格， +且在虚拟地址被从缓存中刷新时要求一个虚拟地址的虚拟->物理转换存在的系统。 +HyperSparc cpu就是这样一个具有这种属性的cpu。 + +下面的缓存刷新程序只需要在特定的cpu需要的范围内处理缓存刷新。大多数 +情况下，这些程序必须为cpu实现，这些cpu有虚拟索引的缓存，当虚拟->物 +理转换被改变或移除时，必须被刷新。因此，例如，IA32处理器的物理索引 +的物理标记的缓存没有必要实现这些接口，因为这些缓存是完全同步的，并 +且不依赖于翻译信息。 + +下面逐个列出这些程序: + +1) ``void flush_cache_mm(struct mm_struct *mm)`` + + 这个接口将整个用户地址空间从高速缓存中刷掉。也就是说，在运行后， + 将没有与‘mm’相关的缓存行。 + + 这个接口被用来处理整个地址空间的页表操作，比如在退出和执行过程 + 中发生的事情。 + +2) ``void flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *mm)`` + + 这个接口将整个用户地址空间从高速缓存中刷新掉。也就是说，在运行 + 后，将没有与‘mm’相关的缓存行。 + + 这个接口被用来处理整个地址空间的页表操作，比如在fork过程中发生 + 的事情。 + + 这个选项与flush_cache_mm分开，以允许对VIPT缓存进行一些优化。 + +3) ``void flush_cache_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long start, unsigned long end)`` + + 在这里，我们要从缓存中刷新一个特定范围的（用户）虚拟地址。运行 + 后，在“start”到“end-1”范围内的虚拟地址的“vma->vm_mm”的缓存中 + 将没有页表项。 + + “vma”是被用于该区域的备份存储。主要是用于munmap()类型的操作。 + + 提供这个接口是希望端口能够找到一个合适的有效方法来从缓存中删 + 除多个页面大小的区域， 而不是让内核为每个可能被修改的页表项调 + 用 flush_cache_page (见下文)。 + +4) ``void flush_cache_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, unsigned long pfn)`` + + 这一次我们需要从缓存中删除一个PAGE_SIZE大小的区域。“vma”是 + Linux用来跟踪进程的mmap区域的支持结构体，地址空间可以通过 + vma->vm_mm获得。另外，我们可以通过测试（vma->vm_flags & + VM_EXEC）来查看这个区域是否是可执行的（因此在“Harvard”类 + 型的缓存布局中可能是在“指令缓存”中）。 + + “pfn”表示“addr”所对应的物理页框（通过PAGE_SHIFT左移这个 + 值来获得物理地址）。正是这个映射应该从缓存中删除。 + + 在运行之后，对于虚拟地址‘addr’的‘vma->vm_mm’，在缓存中不会 + 有任何页表项，它被翻译成‘pfn’。 + + 这主要是在故障处理过程中使用。 + +5) ``void flush_cache_kmaps(void)`` + + 只有在平台使用高位内存的情况下才需要实现这个程序。它将在所有的 + kmaps失效之前被调用。 + + 运行后，内核虚拟地址范围PKMAP_ADDR(0)到PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) + 的缓存中将没有页表项。 + + 这个程序应该在asm/highmem.h中实现。 + +6) ``void flush_cache_vmap(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)`` + ``void flush_cache_vunmap(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)`` + + 在这里，在这两个接口中，我们从缓存中刷新一个特定范围的（内核） + 虚拟地址。运行后，在“start”到“end-1”范围内的虚拟地址的内核地 + 址空间的缓存中不会有页表项。 + + 这两个程序中的第一个是在vmap_range()安装了页表项之后调用的。 + 第二个是在vunmap_range()删除页表项之前调用的。 + +还有一类cpu缓存问题，目前需要一套完全不同的接口来正确处理。最大 +的问题是处理器的数据缓存中的虚拟别名。 + +.. note:: + + 这段内容有些晦涩，为了减轻中文阅读压力，特作此译注。 + + 别名（alias）属于缓存一致性问题，当不同的虚拟地址映射相同的 + 物理地址，而这些虚拟地址的index不同，此时就发生了别名现象(多 + 个虚拟地址被称为别名)。通俗点来说就是指同一个物理地址的数据被 + 加载到不同的cacheline中就会出现别名现象。 + + 常见的解决方法有两种：第一种是硬件维护一致性，设计特定的cpu电 + 路来解决问题（例如设计为PIPT的cache）；第二种是软件维护一致性， + 就是下面介绍的sparc的解决方案——页面染色，涉及的技术细节太多， + 译者不便展开，请读者自行查阅相关资料。 + +您的移植是否容易在其D-cache中出现虚拟别名？嗯，如果您的D-cache +是虚拟索引的，且cache大于PAGE_SIZE（页大小），并且不能防止同一 +物理地址的多个cache行同时存在，您就会遇到这个问题。 + +如果你的D-cache有这个问题，首先正确定义asm/shmparam.h SHMLBA， +它基本上应该是你的虚拟寻址D-cache的大小（或者如果大小是可变的， +则是最大的可能大小）。这个设置将迫使SYSv IPC层只允许用户进程在 +这个值的倍数的地址上对共享内存进行映射。 + +.. note:: + + 这并不能解决共享mmaps的问题，请查看sparc64移植解决 + 这个问题的一个方法（特别是 SPARC_FLAG_MMAPSHARED）。 + +接下来，你必须解决所有其他情况下的D-cache别名问题。请记住这个事 +实，对于一个给定的页面映射到某个用户地址空间，总是至少还有一个映 +射，那就是内核在其线性映射中从PAGE_OFFSET开始。因此，一旦第一个 +用户将一个给定的物理页映射到它的地址空间，就意味着D-cache的别名 +问题有可能存在，因为内核已经将这个页映射到它的虚拟地址。 + + ``void copy_user_page(void *to, void *from, unsigned long addr, struct page *page)`` + ``void clear_user_page(void *to, unsigned long addr, struct page *page)`` + + 这两个程序在用户匿名或COW页中存储数据。它允许一个端口有效地 + 避免用户空间和内核之间的D-cache别名问题。 + + 例如，一个端口可以在复制过程中把“from”和“to”暂时映射到内核 + 的虚拟地址上。这两个页面的虚拟地址的选择方式是，内核的加载/存 + 储指令发生在虚拟地址上，而这些虚拟地址与用户的页面映射是相同 + 的“颜色”。例如，Sparc64就使用这种技术。 + + “addr”参数告诉了用户最终要映射这个页面的虚拟地址，“page”参 + 数给出了一个指向目标页结构体的指针。 + + 如果D-cache别名不是问题，这两个程序可以简单地直接调用 + memcpy/memset而不做其他事情。 + + ``void flush_dcache_page(struct page *page)`` + + 任何时候，当内核写到一个页面缓存页，或者内核要从一个页面缓存 + 页中读出，并且这个页面的用户空间共享/可写映射可能存在时， + 这个程序就会被调用。 + + .. note:: + + 这个程序只需要为有可能被映射到用户进程的地址空间的 + 页面缓存调用。因此，例如，处理页面缓存中vfs符号链 + 接的VFS层代码根本不需要调用这个接口。 + + “内核写入页面缓存的页面”这句话的意思是，具体来说，内核执行存 + 储指令，在该页面的页面->虚拟映射处弄脏该页面的数据。在这里，通 + 过刷新的手段处理D-cache的别名是很重要的，以确保这些内核存储对 + 该页的用户空间映射是可见的。 + + 推论的情况也同样重要，如果有用户对这个文件有共享+可写的映射， + 我们必须确保内核对这些页面的读取会看到用户所做的最新的存储。 + + 如果D-cache别名不是一个问题，这个程序可以简单地定义为该架构上 + 的nop。 + + 在page->flags (PG_arch_1)中有一个位是“架构私有”。内核保证， + 对于分页缓存的页面，当这样的页面第一次进入分页缓存时，它将清除 + 这个位。 + + 这使得这些接口可以更有效地被实现。如果目前没有用户进程映射这个 + 页面，它允许我们“推迟”（也许是无限期）实际的刷新过程。请看 + sparc64的flush_dcache_page和update_mmu_cache实现，以了解如 + 何做到这一点。 + + 这个想法是，首先在flush_dcache_page()时，如果page->mapping->i_mmap + 是一个空树，只需标记架构私有页标志位。之后，在update_mmu_cache() + 中，会对这个标志位进行检查，如果设置了，就进行刷新，并清除标志位。 + + .. important:: + + 通常很重要的是，如果你推迟刷新，实际的刷新发生在同一个 + CPU上，因为它将cpu存储到页面上，使其变脏。同样，请看 + sparc64关于如何处理这个问题的例子。 + + ``void copy_to_user_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page, + unsigned long user_vaddr, void *dst, void *src, int len)`` + ``void copy_from_user_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page, + unsigned long user_vaddr, void *dst, void *src, int len)`` + + 当内核需要复制任意的数据进出任意的用户页时（比如ptrace()），它将使 + 用这两个程序。 + + 任何必要的缓存刷新或其他需要发生的一致性操作都应该在这里发生。如果 + 处理器的指令缓存没有对cpu存储进行窥探，那么你很可能需要为 + copy_to_user_page()刷新指令缓存。 + + ``void flush_anon_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page, + unsigned long vmaddr)`` + + 当内核需要访问一个匿名页的内容时，它会调用这个函数（目前只有 + get_user_pages()）。注意：flush_dcache_page()故意对匿名页不起作 + 用。默认的实现是nop（对于所有相干的架构应该保持这样）。对于不一致性 + 的架构，它应该刷新vmaddr处的页面缓存。 + + ``void flush_kernel_dcache_page(struct page *page)`` + + 当内核需要修改一个用kmap获得的用户页时，它会在所有修改完成后（但在 + kunmapping之前）调用这个函数，以使底层页面达到最新状态。这里假定用 + 户没有不一致性的缓存副本（即原始页面是从类似get_user_pages()的机制 + 中获得的）。默认的实现是一个nop，在所有相干的架构上都应该如此。在不 + 一致性的架构上，这应该刷新内核缓存中的页面（使用page_address(page)）。 + + + ``void flush_icache_range(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)`` + + 当内核存储到它将执行的地址中时（例如在加载模块时），这个函数被调用。 + + 如果icache不对存储进行窥探，那么这个程序将需要对其进行刷新。 + + ``void flush_icache_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page)`` + + flush_icache_page的所有功能都可以在flush_dcache_page和update_mmu_cache + 中实现。在未来，我们希望能够完全删除这个接口。 + +最后一类API是用于I/O到内核内特意设置的别名地址范围。这种别名是通过使用 +vmap/vmalloc API设置的。由于内核I/O是通过物理页进行的，I/O子系统假定用户 +映射和内核偏移映射是唯一的别名。这对vmap别名来说是不正确的，所以内核中任何 +试图对vmap区域进行I/O的东西都必须手动管理一致性。它必须在做I/O之前刷新vmap +范围，并在I/O返回后使其失效。 + + ``void flush_kernel_vmap_range(void *vaddr, int size)`` + + 刷新vmap区域中指定的虚拟地址范围的内核缓存。这是为了确保内核在vmap范围 + 内修改的任何数据对物理页是可见的。这个设计是为了使这个区域可以安全地执 + 行I/O。注意，这个API并 *没有* 刷新该区域的偏移映射别名。 + + ``void invalidate_kernel_vmap_range(void *vaddr, int size) invalidates`` + + 在vmap区域的一个给定的虚拟地址范围的缓存，这可以防止处理器在物理页的I/O + 发生时通过投机性地读取数据而使缓存变脏。这只对读入vmap区域的数据是必要的。 diff --git a/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/core-api/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/core-api/index.rst index a8b2afcbf5bc..b4bde9396339 100644

N)个字节不可访问；任何负值都表示 +无法访问整个8字节。KASAN使用不同的负值来区分不同类型的不可访问内存，如redzones +或已释放的内存（参见 mm/kasan/kasan.h）。 + +在上面的报告中，箭头指向影子字节 ``03`` ，表示访问的地址是部分可访问的。 + +对于基于标签的KASAN模式，报告最后的部分显示了访问地址周围的内存标签 +(参考 `实施细则`_ 章节)。 + +请注意，KASAN错误标题（如 ``slab-out-of-bounds`` 或 ``use-after-free`` ） +是尽量接近的:KASAN根据其拥有的有限信息打印出最可能的错误类型。错误的实际类型 +可能会有所不同。 + +通用KASAN还报告两个辅助调用堆栈跟踪。这些堆栈跟踪指向代码中与对象交互但不直接 +出现在错误访问堆栈跟踪中的位置。目前，这包括 call_rcu() 和排队的工作队列。 + +启动参数 +~~~~~~~~ + +KASAN受通用 ``panic_on_warn`` 命令行参数的影响。启用该功能后，KASAN在打印错误 +报告后会引起内核恐慌。 + +默认情况下，KASAN只为第一次无效内存访问打印错误报告。使用 ``kasan_multi_shot`` ， +KASAN会针对每个无效访问打印报告。这有效地禁用了KASAN报告的 ``panic_on_warn`` 。 + +基于硬件标签的KASAN模式（请参阅下面有关各种模式的部分）旨在在生产中用作安全缓解 +措施。因此，它支持允许禁用KASAN或控制其功能的引导参数。 + +- ``kasan=off`` 或 ``=on`` 控制KASAN是否启用 (默认: ``on`` )。 + +- ``kasan.mode=sync`` 或 ``=async`` 控制KASAN是否配置为同步或异步执行模式(默认: + ``sync`` )。同步模式：当标签检查错误发生时，立即检测到错误访问。异步模式： + 延迟错误访问检测。当标签检查错误发生时，信息存储在硬件中（在arm64的 + TFSR_EL1寄存器中）。内核会定期检查硬件，并且仅在这些检查期间报告标签错误。 + +- ``kasan.stacktrace=off`` 或 ``=on`` 禁用或启用alloc和free堆栈跟踪收集 + (默认: ``on`` )。 + +- ``kasan.fault=report`` 或 ``=panic`` 控制是只打印KASAN报告还是同时使内核恐慌 + (默认: ``report`` )。即使启用了 ``kasan_multi_shot`` ，也会发生内核恐慌。 + +实施细则 +-------- + +通用KASAN +~~~~~~~~~ + +软件KASAN模式使用影子内存来记录每个内存字节是否可以安全访问，并使用编译时工具 +在每次内存访问之前插入影子内存检查。 + +通用KASAN将1/8的内核内存专用于其影子内存（16TB以覆盖x86_64上的128TB），并使用 +具有比例和偏移量的直接映射将内存地址转换为其相应的影子地址。 + +这是将地址转换为其相应影子地址的函数:: + + static inline void

+基于软件标签的KASAN使用软件内存标签方法来检查访问有效性。目前仅针对arm64架构实现。 + +基于软件标签的KASAN使用arm64 CPU的顶部字节忽略(TBI)特性在内核指针的顶部字节中 +存储一个指针标签。它使用影子内存来存储与每个16字节内存单元相关的内存标签(因此， +它将内核内存的1/16专用于影子内存)。 + +在每次内存分配时，基于软件标签的KASAN都会生成一个随机标签，用这个标签标记分配 +的内存，并将相同的标签嵌入到返回的指针中。 + +基于软件标签的KASAN使用编译时工具在每次内存访问之前插入检查。这些检查确保正在 +访问的内存的标签等于用于访问该内存的指针的标签。如果标签不匹配，基于软件标签 +的KASAN会打印错误报告。 + +基于软件标签的KASAN也有两种插桩模式（outline，发出回调来检查内存访问；inline， +执行内联的影子内存检查）。使用outline插桩模式，会从执行访问检查的函数打印错误 +报告。使用inline插桩，编译器会发出 ``brk`` 指令，并使用专用的 ``brk`` 处理程序 +来打印错误报告。 + +基于软件标签的KASAN使用0xFF作为匹配所有指针标签（不检查通过带有0xFF指针标签 +的指针进行的访问）。值0xFE当前保留用于标记已释放的内存区域。 + +基于软件标签的KASAN目前仅支持对Slab和page_alloc内存进行标记。 + +基于硬件标签的KASAN模式 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +基于硬件标签的KASAN在概念上类似于软件模式，但它是使用硬件内存标签作为支持而 +不是编译器插桩和影子内存。 + +基于硬件标签的KASAN目前仅针对arm64架构实现，并且基于ARMv8.5指令集架构中引入 +的arm64内存标记扩展(MTE)和最高字节忽略(TBI)。 + +特殊的arm64指令用于为每次内存分配指定内存标签。相同的标签被指定给指向这些分配

+如果硬件不支持MTE（ARMv8.5之前），则不会启用基于硬件标签的KASAN。在这种情况下， +所有KASAN引导参数都将被忽略。 + +请注意，启用CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS始终会导致启用内核中的TBI。即使提供了 +``kasan.mode=off`` 或硬件不支持MTE（但支持TBI）。 + +基于硬件标签的KASAN只报告第一个发现的错误。之后，MTE标签检查将被禁用。 + +影子内存 +-------- + +内核将内存映射到地址空间的几个不同部分。内核虚拟地址的范围很大：没有足够的真实 +内存来支持内核可以访问的每个地址的真实影子区域。因此，KASAN只为地址空间的某些 +部分映射真实的影子。 + +默认行为 +~~~~~~~~ + +默认情况下，体系结构仅将实际内存映射到用于线性映射的阴影区域（以及可能的其他 +小区域）。对于所有其他区域 —— 例如vmalloc和vmemmap空间 —— 一个只读页面被映射 +到阴影区域上。这个只读的影子页面声明所有内存访问都是允许的。 + +这给模块带来了一个问题：它们不存在于线性映射中，而是存在于专用的模块空间中。 +通过连接模块分配器，KASAN临时映射真实的影子内存以覆盖它们。例如，这允许检测 +对模块全局变量的无效访问。 + +这也造成了与 ``VMAP_STACK`` 的不兼容：如果堆栈位于vmalloc空间中，它将被分配 +只读页面的影子内存，并且内核在尝试为堆栈变量设置影子数据时会出错。 + +CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +使用 ``CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC`` ，KASAN可以以更大的内存使用为代价覆盖vmalloc +空间。目前，这在x86、riscv、s390和powerpc上受支持。 + +这通过连接到vmalloc和vmap并动态分配真实的影子内存来支持映射。 + +vmalloc空间中的大多数映射都很小，需要不到一整页的阴影空间。因此，为每个映射 +分配一个完整的影子页面将是一种浪费。此外，为了确保不同的映射使用不同的影子 +页面，映射必须与 ``KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE`` 对齐。 + +相反，KASAN跨多个映射共享后备空间。当vmalloc空间中的映射使用影子区域的特定 +页面时，它会分配一个后备页面。此页面稍后可以由其他vmalloc映射共享。 + +KASAN连接到vmap基础架构以懒清理未使用的影子内存。 + +为了避免交换映射的困难，KASAN预测覆盖vmalloc空间的阴影区域部分将不会被早期 +的阴影页面覆盖，但是将不会被映射。这将需要更改特定于arch的代码。 + +这允许在x86上支持 ``VMAP_STACK`` ，并且可以简化对没有固定模块区域的架构的支持。 + +对于开发者 +---------- + +忽略访问 +~~~~~~~~ + +软件KASAN模式使用编译器插桩来插入有效性检查。此类检测可能与内核的某些部分 +不兼容，因此需要禁用。 + +内核的其他部分可能会访问已分配对象的元数据。通常，KASAN会检测并报告此类访问， +但在某些情况下（例如，在内存分配器中），这些访问是有效的。 + +对于软件KASAN模式，要禁用特定文件或目录的检测，请将 ``KASAN_SANITIZE`` 添加 +到相应的内核Makefile中: + +- 对于单个文件(例如，main.o):: + + KASAN_SANITIZE_main.o := n + +- 对于一个目录下的所有文件:: + + KASAN_SANITIZE := n + +对于软件KASAN模式，要在每个函数的基础上禁用检测，请使用KASAN特定的 +``__no_sanitize_address`` 函数属性或通用的 ``noinstr`` 。 + +请注意，禁用编译器插桩（基于每个文件或每个函数）会使KASAN忽略在软件KASAN模式 +的代码中直接发生的访问。当访问是间接发生的（通过调用检测函数）或使用没有编译器 +插桩的基于硬件标签的模式时，它没有帮助。 + +对于软件KASAN模式，要在当前任务的一部分内核代码中禁用KASAN报告，请使用 +``kasan_disable_current()``/``kasan_enable_current()`` 部分注释这部分代码。 +这也会禁用通过函数调用发生的间接访问的报告。 + +对于基于标签的KASAN模式（包括硬件模式），要禁用访问检查，请使用 +``kasan_reset_tag()`` 或 ``page_kasan_tag_reset()`` 。请注意，通过 +``page_kasan_tag_reset()`` 临时禁用访问检查需要通过 ``page_kasan_tag`` +/ ``page_kasan_tag_set`` 保存和恢复每页KASAN标签。 + +测试 +~~~~ + +有一些KASAN测试可以验证KASAN是否正常工作并可以检测某些类型的内存损坏。 +测试由两部分组成: + +1. 与KUnit测试框架集成的测试。使用 ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` 启用。 +这些测试可以通过几种不同的方式自动运行和部分验证；请参阅下面的说明。 + +2. 与KUnit不兼容的测试。使用

The `DAX` code currently only supports files with a block +size equal to your kernel's `PAGE_SIZE`, so you may need to specify a block +size when creating the filesystem. + +Currently 3 filesystems support `DAX`: ext2, ext4 and xfs. Enabling `DAX` on them +is different. + +Enabling DAX on ext2 +-------------------- + +When mounting the filesystem, use the ``-o dax`` option on the command line or +add 'dax' to the options in ``/etc/fstab``. This works to enable `DAX` on all files +within the filesystem. It is equivalent to the ``-o dax=always`` behavior below. + + +Enabling DAX on xfs and ext4 +---------------------------- + +Summary +------- + + 1. There exists an in-kernel file access mode flag `S_DAX` that corresponds to + the statx flag `STATX_ATTR_DAX`. See the manpage for statx(2) for details + about this access mode. + + 2. There exists a persistent flag `FS_XFLAG_DAX` that can be applied to regular + files and directories. This advisory flag can be set or cleared at any + time, but doing so does not immediately affect the `S_DAX` state. + + 3. If the persistent `FS_XFLAG_DAX` flag is set on a directory, this flag will + be inherited by all regular files and subdirectories that are subsequently + created in this directory. Files and subdirectories that exist at the time + this flag is set or cleared on the parent directory are not modified by + this modification of the parent directory. + + 4. There exist dax mount options which can override `FS_XFLAG_DAX` in the + setting of the `S_DAX` flag. Given underlying storage which supports `DAX` the + following hold: + + ``-o dax=inode`` means "follow `FS_XFLAG_DAX`" and is the default. + + ``-o dax=never`` means "never set `S_DAX`, ignore `FS_XFLAG_DAX`." + + ``-o dax=always`` means "always set `S_DAX` ignore `FS_XFLAG_DAX`." + + ``-o dax`` is a legacy option which is an alias for ``dax=always``. + + .. warning:: + + The option ``-o dax`` may be removed in the future so ``-o dax=always`` is + the preferred method for specifying this behavior. + + .. note:: + + Modifications to and the inheritance behavior of `FS_XFLAG_DAX` remain + the same even when the filesystem is mounted with a dax option. However, + in-core inode state (`S_DAX`) will be overridden until the filesystem is + remounted with dax=inode and the inode is evicted from kernel memory. + + 5. The `S_DAX` policy can be changed via: + + a) Setting the parent directory `FS_XFLAG_DAX` as needed before files are + created + + b) Setting the appropriate dax="foo" mount option + + c) Changing the `FS_XFLAG_DAX` flag on existing regular files and + directories. This has runtime constraints and limitations that are + described in 6) below. + + 6. When changing the `S_DAX` policy via toggling the persistent `FS_XFLAG_DAX` + flag, the change to existing regular files won't take effect until the + files are closed by all processes. + + +Details +------- + +There are 2 per-file dax flags. One is a persistent inode setting (`FS_XFLAG_DAX`) +and the other is a volatile flag indicating the active state of the feature +(`S_DAX`). + +`FS_XFLAG_DAX` is preserved within the filesystem. This persistent config +setting can be set, cleared and/or queried using the `FS_IOC_FS`[`GS`]`ETXATTR` ioctl +(see ioctl_xfs_fsgetxattr(2)) or an utility such as 'xfs_io'. + +New files and directories automatically inherit `FS_XFLAG_DAX` from +their parent directory **when created**. Therefore, setting `FS_XFLAG_DAX` at +directory creation time can be used to set a default behavior for an entire +sub-tree. + +To clarify inheritance, here are 3 examples: + +Example A: + +.. code-block:: shell + + mkdir -p a/b/c + xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a + mkdir a/b/c/d + mkdir a/e + + ------[outcome]------ + + dax: a,e + no dax: b,c,d + +Example B: + +.. code-block:: shell + + mkdir a + xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a + mkdir -p a/b/c/d + + ------[outcome]------ + + dax: a,b,c,d + no dax: + +Example C: + +.. code-block:: shell + + mkdir -p a/b/c + xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' c + mkdir a/b/c/d + + ------[outcome]------ + + dax: c,d + no dax: a,b + +The current enabled state (`S_DAX`) is set when a file inode is instantiated in +memory by the kernel. It is set based on the underlying media support, the +value of `FS_XFLAG_DAX` and the filesystem's dax mount option. + +statx can be used to query `S_DAX`. + +.. note:: + + That only regular files will ever have `S_DAX` set and therefore statx + will never indicate that `S_DAX` is set on directories. + +Setting the `FS_XFLAG_DAX` flag (specifically or through inheritance) occurs even +if the underlying media does not support dax and/or the filesystem is +overridden with a mount option. + + +Implementation Tips for Block Driver Writers +-------------------------------------------- + +To support `DAX` in your block driver, implement the 'direct_access' +block device operation. It is used to translate the sector number +(expressed in units of 512-byte sectors) to a page frame number (pfn) +that identifies the physical page for the memory. It also returns a +kernel virtual address that can be used to access the memory. + +The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the +number of bytes being requested. The function should return the number +of bytes that can be contiguously accessed at that offset. It may also +return a negative errno if an error occurs. + +In order to support this method, the storage must be byte-accessible by +the CPU at all times. If your device uses paging techniques to expose +a large amount of memory through a smaller window, then you cannot +implement direct_access. Equally, if your device can occasionally +stall the CPU for an extended period, you should also not attempt to +implement direct_access. + +These block devices may be used for inspiration: +- brd: RAM backed block device driver +- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver +- pmem: NVDIMM persistent memory driver + + +Implementation Tips for Filesystem Writers +------------------------------------------ + +Filesystem support consists of: + +* Adding support to mark inodes as being `DAX` by setting the `S_DAX` flag in + i_flags +* Implementing ->read_iter and ->write_iter operations which use + :c:func:`dax_iomap_rw()` when inode has `S_DAX` flag set +* Implementing an mmap file operation for `DAX` files which sets the + `VM_MIXEDMAP` and `VM_HUGEPAGE` flags on the `VMA`, and setting the vm_ops to + include handlers for fault, pmd_fault, page_mkwrite, pfn_mkwrite.

If we fault at such location, +or one with a latent error not yet discovered, the application can expect +to receive a `SIGBUS`. Libnvdimm also allows clearing of these errors by simply +writing the affected sectors (through the pmem driver, and if the underlying +NVDIMM supports the clear_poison DSM defined by ACPI). + +Since `DAX` IO normally doesn't go through the ``driver/bio`` path, applications or +sysadmins have an option to restore the lost data from a prior ``backup/inbuilt`` +redundancy in the following ways: + +1. Delete the affected file, and restore from a backup (sysadmin route): + This will free the filesystem blocks that were being used by the file, + and the next time they're allocated, they will be zeroed first, which + happens through the driver, and will clear bad sectors. + +2. Truncate or hole-punch the part of the file that has a bad-block (at least + an entire aligned sector has to be hole-punched, but not necessarily an + entire filesystem block). + +These are the two basic paths that allow `DAX` filesystems to continue operating +in the presence of media errors. More robust error recovery mechanisms can be +built on top of this in the future, for example, involving redundancy/mirroring +provided at the block layer through DM, or additionally, at the filesystem +level. These would have to rely on the above two tenets, that error clearing +can happen either by sending an IO through the driver, or zeroing (also through +the driver). + + +Shortcomings +------------ + +Even if the kernel or its modules are stored on a filesystem that supports +`DAX` on a block device that supports `DAX`, they will still be copied into RAM. + +The DAX code does not work correctly on architectures which have virtually +mapped caches such as ARM, MIPS and SPARC. + +Calling :c:func:`get_user_pages()` on a range of user memory that has been +mmaped from a `DAX` file will fail when there are no 'struct page' to describe +those pages. This problem has been addressed in some device drivers +by adding optional struct page support for pages under the control of +the driver (see `CONFIG_NVDIMM_PFN` in ``drivers/nvdimm`` for an example of +how to do this). In the non struct page cases `O_DIRECT` reads/writes to +those memory ranges from a non-`DAX` file will fail + + +.. note:: + + `O_DIRECT` reads/writes _of a `DAX` file do work, it is the memory that + is being accessed that is key here).

Enabling DAX on them -is different. - -Enabling DAX on ext2 ------------------------------ - -When mounting the filesystem, use the "-o dax" option on the command line or -add 'dax' to the options in /etc/fstab. This works to enable DAX on all files -within the filesystem. It is equivalent to the '-o dax=always' behavior below. - - -Enabling DAX on xfs and ext4 ----------------------------- - -Summary -------- - - 1. There exists an in-kernel file access mode flag S_DAX that corresponds to - the statx flag STATX_ATTR_DAX. See the manpage for statx(2) for details - about this access mode. - - 2. There exists a persistent flag FS_XFLAG_DAX that can be applied to regular - files and directories. This advisory flag can be set or cleared at any - time, but doing so does not immediately affect the S_DAX state. - - 3. If the persistent FS_XFLAG_DAX flag is set on a directory, this flag will - be inherited by all regular files and subdirectories that are subsequently - created in this directory. Files and subdirectories that exist at the time - this flag is set or cleared on the parent directory are not modified by - this modification of the parent directory. - - 4. There exist dax mount options which can override FS_XFLAG_DAX in the - setting of the S_DAX flag. Given underlying storage which supports DAX the - following hold: - - "-o dax=inode" means "follow FS_XFLAG_DAX" and is the default. - - "-o dax=never" means "never set S_DAX, ignore FS_XFLAG_DAX." - - "-o dax=always" means "always set S_DAX ignore FS_XFLAG_DAX." - - "-o dax" is a legacy option which is an alias for "dax=always". - This may be removed in the future so "-o dax=always" is - the preferred method for specifying this behavior. - - NOTE: Modifications to and the inheritance behavior of FS_XFLAG_DAX remain - the same even when the filesystem is mounted with a dax option. However, - in-core inode state (S_DAX) will be overridden until the filesystem is - remounted with dax=inode and the inode is evicted from kernel memory. - - 5. The S_DAX policy can be changed via: - - a) Setting the parent directory FS_XFLAG_DAX as needed before files are - created - - b) Setting the appropriate dax="foo" mount option - - c) Changing the FS_XFLAG_DAX flag on existing regular files and - directories. This has runtime constraints and limitations that are - described in 6) below. - - 6. When changing the S_DAX policy via toggling the persistent FS_XFLAG_DAX - flag, the change to existing regular files won't take effect until the - files are closed by all processes. - - -Details -------- - -There are 2 per-file dax flags. One is a persistent inode setting (FS_XFLAG_DAX) -and the other is a volatile flag indicating the active state of the feature -(S_DAX). - -FS_XFLAG_DAX is preserved within the filesystem. This persistent config -setting can be set, cleared and/or queried using the FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctl -(see ioctl_xfs_fsgetxattr(2)) or an utility such as 'xfs_io'. - -New files and directories automatically inherit FS_XFLAG_DAX from -their parent directory _when_ _created_. Therefore, setting FS_XFLAG_DAX at -directory creation time can be used to set a default behavior for an entire -sub-tree. - -To clarify inheritance, here are 3 examples: - -Example A: - -mkdir -p a/b/c -xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a -mkdir a/b/c/d -mkdir a/e - - dax: a,e - no dax: b,c,d - -Example B: - -mkdir a -xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a -mkdir -p a/b/c/d - - dax: a,b,c,d - no dax: - -Example C: - -mkdir -p a/b/c -xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' c -mkdir a/b/c/d - - dax: c,d - no dax: a,b - - -The current enabled state (S_DAX) is set when a file inode is instantiated in -memory by the kernel. It is set based on the underlying media support, the -value of FS_XFLAG_DAX and the filesystem's dax mount option. - -statx can be used to query S_DAX. NOTE that only regular files will ever have -S_DAX set and therefore statx will never indicate that S_DAX is set on -directories. - -Setting the FS_XFLAG_DAX flag (specifically or through inheritance) occurs even -if the underlying media does not support dax and/or the filesystem is -overridden with a mount option. - - - -Implementation Tips for Block Driver Writers --------------------------------------------- - -To support DAX in your block driver, implement the 'direct_access' -block device operation. It is used to translate the sector number -(expressed in units of 512-byte sectors) to a page frame number (pfn) -that identifies the physical page for the memory. It also returns a -kernel virtual address that can be used to access the memory. - -The direct_access method takes a 'size' parameter that indicates the -number of bytes being requested. The function should return the number -of bytes that can be contiguously accessed at that offset. It may also -return a negative errno if an error occurs. - -In order to support this method, the storage must be byte-accessible by -the CPU at all times. If your device uses paging techniques to expose -a large amount of memory through a smaller window, then you cannot -implement direct_access. Equally, if your device can occasionally -stall the CPU for an extended period, you should also not attempt to -implement direct_access. - -These block devices may be used for inspiration: -- brd: RAM backed block device driver -- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver -- pmem: NVDIMM persistent memory driver - - -Implementation Tips for Filesystem Writers ------------------------------------------- - -Filesystem support consists of -- adding support to mark inodes as being DAX by setting the S_DAX flag in - i_flags -- implementing ->read_iter and ->write_iter operations which use dax_iomap_rw() - when inode has S_DAX flag set -- implementing an mmap file operation for DAX files which sets the - VM_MIXEDMAP and VM_HUGEPAGE flags on the VMA, and setting the vm_ops to - include handlers for fault, pmd_fault, page_mkwrite, pfn_mkwrite. These - handlers should probably call dax_iomap_fault() passing the appropriate - fault size and iomap operations. -- calling iomap_zero_range() passing appropriate iomap operations instead of - block_truncate_page() for DAX files -- ensuring that there is sufficient locking between reads, writes, - truncates and page faults - -The iomap handlers for allocating blocks must make sure that allocated blocks -are zeroed out and converted to written extents before being returned to avoid -exposure of uninitialized data through mmap. - -These filesystems may be used for inspiration: -- ext2: see Documentation/filesystems/ext2.rst -- ext4: see Documentation/filesystems/ext4/ -- xfs: see Documentation/admin-guide/xfs.rst - - -Handling Media Errors ---------------------- - -The libnvdimm subsystem stores a record of known media error locations for -each pmem block device (in gendisk->badblocks). If we fault at such location, -or one with a latent error not yet discovered, the application can expect -to receive a SIGBUS. Libnvdimm also allows clearing of these errors by simply -writing the affected sectors (through the pmem driver, and if the underlying -NVDIMM supports the clear_poison DSM defined by ACPI). - -Since DAX IO normally doesn't go through the driver/bio path, applications or -sysadmins have an option to restore the lost data from a prior backup/inbuilt -redundancy in the following ways: - -1. Delete the affected file, and restore from a backup (sysadmin route): - This will free the filesystem blocks that were being used by the file, - and the next time they're allocated, they will be zeroed first, which - happens through the driver, and will clear bad sectors. - -2. Truncate or hole-punch the part of the file that has a bad-block (at least - an entire aligned sector has to be hole-punched, but not necessarily an - entire filesystem block). - -These are the two basic paths that allow DAX filesystems to continue operating -in the presence of media errors. More robust error recovery mechanisms can be -built on top of this in the future, for example, involving redundancy/mirroring -provided at the block layer through DM, or additionally, at the filesystem -level. These would have to rely on the above two tenets, that error clearing -can happen either by sending an IO through the driver, or zeroing (also through -the driver). - - -Shortcomings ------------- - -Even if the kernel or its modules are stored on a filesystem that supports -DAX on a block device that supports DAX, they will still be copied into RAM. - -The DAX code does not work correctly on architectures which have virtually -mapped caches such as ARM, MIPS and SPARC. - -Calling get_user_pages() on a range of user memory that has been mmaped -from a DAX file will fail when there are no 'struct page' to describe -those pages. This problem has been addressed in some device drivers -by adding optional struct page support for pages under the control of -the driver (see CONFIG_NVDIMM_PFN in drivers/nvdimm for an example of -how to do this). In the non struct page cases O_DIRECT reads/writes to -those memory ranges from a non-DAX file will fail (note that O_DIRECT -reads/writes _of a DAX file_ do work, it is the memory that is being -accessed that is key here). Other things that will not work in the -non struct page case include RDMA, sendfile() and splice(). diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst b/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst index d4853cb919d2..246af51b277a 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/index.rst @@ -77,6 +77,7 @@ Documentation for filesystem implementations. coda configfs cramfs + dax debugfs dlmfs ecryptfs From c098564d91c55d408ed31e8885b915a5e2006249 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2021 21:20:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 056/115] tools: Fix "the the" in a message in kernel-chktaint There is a double "the" in a message in kernel-chktaint, fix it.
