LTS? LTSI? !4 67 • Long-Term Stable (LTS) – Maintained by Greg K.H. – Bugfixes for 2 years or longer. – Up to 2 LTS kernels at the same time. – Recent: 3.10.39 (2014/5/6) • Long-Term Stable Initiative (LTSI) – Maintained by Greg K.H. and some manufacturers – Forked LTS for Industry. (LTS + Industry Patchset) – Maintain a common Linux base for use in a variety of consumer electronics products – Longer support period. – Recent: 3.10.31-LTSI (2014/2/24) Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !5 Tizen 参考内核的状态 49 • 两个参考内核 : ARM/Intel • ARM (armv7, aarch64) – Linux 3.10.y • 3.10.33 @ 2014/05 • 完整的 git历史 – 即将推出 Armv6 support (Raspberry Pi) – 测试 &验证阶段 (集成测试和⽤户空间 ) • Intel (x86, x86_64) – Linux 3.14.1 – Recent ATOM Soc support merged Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !6 Tizen 内核概述 49 Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !7 Tizen 内核概述 (续 ) 49 Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU Static Memory vs. CMA memory Multimedia !8 example 67 dma_alloc_coherent() Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU ION !9 67 • generalized memory manager that Google introduced in the Android 4.0 ICS • Provides way for userland to allocate buffers from various “pools of memory” (aka: heaps) • CMA also allows for large physically contiguous memory allocations by migrating memory to make room for the large allocation – CMA is kernel-internal only for now, and doesn't have a interface to allow userland to allocate buffers or specify constraint options – Migrating pages to make room can cause non-deterministic delays.

Mode-setting: configuring video mode to get a picture on the screen. includes choosing the video resolution and refresh rates. Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU Framebuffer Drivers !21 67 • Kernel graphics driver exposing its interface through / dev/fb* • Despite their simplicity, framebuffer drivers are still a relevant option for basic 2D display. • Especially for embedded systems – memory footprint is essential – do not require advanced graphics acceleration. • Functionalities – Mode-setting – Optional 2D acceleration • http://www.linux-fbdev.org/HOWTO/index.html Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU Direct Rendering Manager !22 67 • Put critical initialization of the card in the kernel, for example uploading firmwares or setting up DMA areas. • Share the rendering hardware between multiple user space components, and arbitrate access. • Enforce security by preventing applications from performing DMA to arbitrary memory regions, and more generally from programming the card in any way that could result in a security hole. • Manage the memory of the card, by providing video memory allocation functionality to user space. • More recently, the DRM was improved to achieve mode-setting. – Simplifies the previous situation where both the Libdrm interfaces between user space and the DRM DRM and the framebuffer driver were fighting module, unprivileged user space component to access the same GPU. – Instead, the framebuffer driver is removed and framebuffer support is implemented in the DRM. Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU DRM of Tizen v2.3 kernel !23 67 • Currently, DRM support is only for Exynos SoCs. (ARM based) – Need Exynos specific DRM driver • Exynos DRM driver – To support graphics hardware of Exynos SoCs – First ARM SoC graphics driver to use the DRM – Merged into the mainline linux 3.2 kernel – linux/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !24 图形 (DRM / GEM) 49 • 图形 : – DRM (直接渲染管理 ) / GEM (图形处理管理 ) GEM •由 Intel开发的框架 • 为了管理图形存储 •缓存管理框架 • 分配和共享 Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !25 DRM / GEM 分配 49 GEM 分配步骤 @ Tizen (Generic) •DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB – 创建 GEM全局 & user GEM handle(per process) • dumb_create() of struct drm_driver – 没有物理内存分配 •DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB – 创建虚假 mmap offset of a gem object 并将这个对象传递给⽤户 • A hash key of the gem object. • dumb_map_offset() of struct drm_driver •MMAP – 请求 mmap基于哈希键作为偏移量 – 创建⽤户地址空间 – 设置缓存属性 – 还没有映射到物理内存 Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !26 DRM / GEM 分配 (续 ) 49 GEM 分配步骤 @ Tizen (Generic) • 按需分⻚ – 实现和注册⼀个错误处理程序 • With a page fault, allocate a page and map the page. – vma->vm_ops->fault = xxx_drm_gem_fault •使⽤ ! •DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB – 移除 GEM handle & object – 释放内存 – 实现 dumb_destroy() of struct drm_driver Embedded Software Lab. @ SKKU !27 DRM / GEM 分配 (续 ) 49 GEM 分配步骤 @ Tizen (Exynos Only) •DRM_IOCTL_EXYNOS_GEM_CREATE – 只使⽤⽤户需要的⼤⼩和缓存类型 – 创建 gem全局对象和 user gem handle(per process) – 分配物理内存 •DRM_IOCTL_EXYNOS_GEM_MMAP – 创建⽤户地址空间 – 将⽤户地址空间映射到物理内存 •LIBDRM of Exynos uses these APIs, not the generic.

Changes introduced with sysfs / debugfs migration • sysfs has a one item per file rule. • Complex proc files moved to debugfs • Moving to debugfs introduced permission problems – Only debugging files should be their. – Both debugfs and procfs have scaling issues. • Moving to sysfs introduced the ability to send uevents – Item of most interest from LUG 2018 Linux Lustre client talk. – Both lctl conf_param and lctl set_param –P use this approach • lctl conf_param can set sysfs attributes without uevents. See class_modify_config() – We get life cycle events for free – udev is now involved. What do we get by using udev ? • Under the hood – uevents are collect by systemd and then processed by udev rules – /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lustre.rules – SUBSYSTEM=="lustre", ACTION=="change", ENV{PARAM}=="?*", RUN+="/usr/sbin/lctl set_param '$env{PARAM}=$env{SETTING}’” • You can create your own udev rule – http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html – /lib/udev/rules.d/* for examples – Add udev_log="debug” to /etc/udev.conf if you have problems • Using systemd for long task.

  • Linux Kernal II 9.1 Architecture
    Page 1 of 7 Linux Kernal II 9.1 Architecture: The Linux kernel is a Unix-like operating system kernel used by a variety of operating systems based on it, which are usually in the form of Linux distributions. The Linux kernel is a prominent example of free and open source software. Programming language The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language supported by GCC (which has introduced a number of extensions and changes to standard C), together with a number of short sections of code written in the assembly language (in GCC's "AT&T-style" syntax) of the target architecture. Because of the extensions to C it supports, GCC was for a long time the only compiler capable of correctly building the Linux kernel. Compiler compatibility GCC is the default compiler for the Linux kernel source. In 2004, Intel claimed to have modified the kernel so that its C compiler also was capable of compiling it. There was another such reported success in 2009 with a modified 2.6.22 version of the kernel. Since 2010, effort has been underway to build the Linux kernel with Clang, an alternative compiler for the C language; as of 12 April 2014, the official kernel could almost be compiled by Clang. The project dedicated to this effort is named LLVMLinxu after the LLVM compiler infrastructure upon which Clang is built. LLVMLinux does not aim to fork either the Linux kernel or the LLVM, therefore it is a meta-project composed of patches that are eventually submitted to the upstream projects.

  • A Simplified Graphics System Based on Direct Rendering Manager System
    J. lnf. Commun. Converg. Eng. 16(2): 125-129, Jun. 2018 Regular paper A Simplified Graphics System Based on Direct Rendering Manager System Nakhoon Baek* , Member, KIICE School of Computer Science and Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea Abstract In the field of computer graphics, rendering speed is one of the most important factors. Contemporary rendering is performed using 3D graphics systems with windowing system support. Since typical graphics systems, including OpenGL and the DirectX library, focus on the variety of graphics rendering features, the rendering process itself consists of many complicated operations. In contrast, early computer systems used direct manipulation of computer graphics hardware, and achieved simple and efficient graphics handling operations. We suggest an alternative method of accelerated 2D and 3D graphics output, based on directly accessing modern GPU hardware using the direct rendering manager (DRM) system. On the basis of this DRM support, we exchange the graphics instructions and graphics data directly, and achieve better performance than full 3D graphics systems. We present a prototype system for providing a set of simple 2D and 3D graphics primitives. Experimental results and their screen shots are included. Index Terms: Direct rendering manager, Efficient handling, Graphics acceleration, Light-weight implementation, Prototype system I.
