定制Linux Kernel

定制Linux Kernel

Linux 里面有一个工具,叫 Grub2,全称 Grand Unified Bootloader Version 2。顾名思义,就是搞系统启动的。

sed -i 's/^#SystemMaxUse=$/SystemMaxUse=500M/g' /etc/systemd/journald.conf
#重启系统
#sudo reboot
## 选择不同的kernel启动
#sudo grep "menuentry " /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep -n menu
##grub认的index从0开始数的
#sudo grub2-reboot 0; sudo reboot
or
#grub2-set-default "CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)" ; sudo reboot

GRUB 2 reads its configuration from the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file on traditional BIOS-based machines and from the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg file on UEFI machines. This file contains menu information.

The GRUB 2 configuration file, grub.cfg, is generated during installation, or by invoking the /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig utility, and is automatically updated by grubby each time a new kernel is installed. When regenerated manually using grub2-mkconfig, the file is generated according to the template files located in /etc/grub.d/, and custom settings in the /etc/default/grub file. Edits of grub.cfg will be lost any time grub2-mkconfig is used to regenerate the file, so care must be taken to reflect any manual changes in /etc/default/grub as well.

查看kernel编译参数

一般在 /boot/config-** 文件内放置所有内核编译参数

//启用 tcp_rt 模块

//启用 RPS
cat /boot/config-4.19.91-24.8.an8.x86_64 |grep RPS
CONFIG_RPS=y

制作启动盘

Windows 上用 UltraISO、rufus 烧制,MacOS 上就比较简单了,直接用 dd 就可以做好:

$ diskutil list
/dev/disk6 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *31.5 GB disk6
# 找到 U 盘的那个设备,umount
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3
# 用 dd 把 ISO 文件写进设备,注意这里是 rdisk3 而不是 disk3,在 BSD 中 r(IDENTIFIER)
# 代表了 raw device,会快很多
$ sudo dd if=/path/image.iso of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m
# 弹出 U 盘
$ sudo diskutil eject /dev/disk3

iommu passthrough

IOMMU 硬件单元

DMA Remapping Feature 的工作是通过 CPU 硬件平台的 IOMMU(I/O MMU,Input/Output Memory Management Unit,I/O 内存管理硬件单元)来完成的。IOMMU 的出现,实现了地址空间上的隔离,使设备只能访问规定的内存区域。

/*
* This variable becomes 1 if iommu=pt is passed on the kernel command line.
* If this variable is 1, IOMMU implementations do no DMA translation for
* devices and allow every device to access to whole physical memory. This is
* useful if a user wants to use an IOMMU only for KVM device assignment to
* guests and not for driver dma translation.
*/

说明配置了iommu=pt 的话函数iommu_no_mapping返回1,那么驱动就直接return paddr,并不会真正调用到domain_pfn_mapping,直接用了物理地址少了一次映射性能当然会高一些。如果是跑KVM建议 passthrough=0,物理机场景 passthrough=1

iommu=pt并不会影响kvm/dpdk/spdk的性能,这三者本质上都是用户态驱动,iommu=pt只会影响内核驱动,能让内核驱动设备性能更高。

定制内存

物理内存700多G,要求OS只能用512G:

linux /vmlinuz-4.19.0-arm64-server root=UUID=dbc68010-8c36-40bf-b794-271e59ff5727 ro splash quiet console=tty video=VGA-1:1280x1024@60 mem=512G DEEPIN_GFXMODE=$DEEPIN_GFXMODE

高级版 按numa限制内存

每个numa 128G内存,总共1024G(32条*32G),8个numa node,需要将每个numa node内存限制在64G

在grub中cmdline中加入如下配置,每个node只用64G内存:

1
memmap=64G\$64G memmap=64G\$192G memmap=64G\$320G memmap=64G\$448G memmap=64G\$576G memmap=64G\$704G memmap=64G\$832G memmap=64G\$960G

#cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=1024M,high resume=/dev/mapper/klas-swap rd.lvm.lv=klas/root rd.lvm.lv=klas/swap video=efifb:on rhgb quiet quiet noibrs noibpb nopti nospectre_v2 nospectre_v1 l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier mds=off tsx=on tsx_async_abort=off mitigations=off iommu.passthrough=1 memmap=64G\\\$64G memmap=64G\\\$192G memmap=64G\\\$320G memmap=64G\\\$448G memmap=64G\\\$576G memmap=64G\\\$704G memmap=64G\\\$832G memmap=64G\\\$960G"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
然后执行生成最终grub启动参数
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

比如在一个4node的机器上,总共768G内存(32G*24),每个node使用64G内存

1
linux16 /vmlinuz-0-rescue-e91413f0be2c4c239b4aa0451489ae01 root=/dev/mapper/centos-root ro crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rhgb quiet memmap=128G\$64G memmap=128G\$256G memmap=128G\$448G memmap=128G\$640G

128G表示相对地址,$64G是绝对地址,128G\$64G 的意思是屏蔽64G到(64+128)G的地址对应的内存

检查

检查正在运行的系统使用的grub参数:

内存速度对延迟的影响

左边两列是同一种机型和CPU、内存,只是最左边的开了numa,他们的内存Speed: 2400 MT/s,但是实际运行速度是2133;最右边的是另外一种CPU,内存速度更快,用mlc测试他们的延时、带宽。可以看到V52机型带宽能力提升特别大,时延变化不大

ipmitool使用

基本语法:ipmitool raw 0x3e 0x5c index 0x01 value

raw 0x3e 0x5c 固定不需要改,

Index表示需要修改的配置项, 接下来的 0x01 固定不需要改

value 表示值,0x81表示enable; 0x80表示disable
