ROSA Kernel

This text was started on 27 Feb 2014, this is only the very first draft, an early 'work in progress'...

at the end, when complete, it would contain the main specs of each flavours and suggestion of use.


ROSA has in its availability a great number of kernel series

  • Kernel ONE with nr.3 flavour series: basic, nrj, nrjQL
Kernel ONE is the most complex and complete source with so many configs and features, it can configure and generate a lot of different specialized flavours, also called (69) Yin/Yang for its completeness
  • Kernel Vanilla with one basic vanilla flavour plus two vanilla + nrj based flavours
  • Kernel RT with one basic rt flavour plus one rt based flavour (rtQL)


The sources are shared with OpenMandriva linux, so the same sources can generate a great number of different kernel flavours for ROSA Linux http://www.rosalab.com/, OpenMandriva Lx http://openmandriva.org/, and their spin-off like MagOS http://www.magos-linux.ru/, MoonDrake http://moondrake.org/, Unity Linux http://unity-linux.org/, ...


The Kernel ONE

The basic, nrj and nrjQL kernel flavours

nrj and nrjQL are two different codenames used to distinguish the two advanced flavour series from the basic ones

these three flavours series can be generated from different kernel sources (srpms):
1> from kernel source, that may be recognized by release number rel.1, for basic and nrj
2> from kernel source, that may be recognized by release number rel.69,  for nrjQL only,
3> from kernel source, that may be recognized by release number rel.70, also called with
the name the Kernel ONE generating all basic, nrj, nrjQL flavours 

[1]



History about the nrj and nrjQL kernels

Just below, the link from where all has born...

http://mib.pianetalinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3463


Main configs and features

The same source is able to configure and generate nr.3 kinds of kernel flavour levels:


1> basic flavours use 'old mdv model', it's a complete featured kernels set with simple common configs, and the same old mdv names:

examples: kernel-desktop-i586, kernel-desktop, kernel-server, ...


2> nrj flavours = contain the same patches and features of 1> plus few extended features:

  • Full Preemption
  • RCU preemption
  • RCU boosting
  • BFQ (disk I/O sched) enabled by default (instead of standard CFQ)
examples: kernel-nrj-desktop, kernel-nrj-laptop, kernel-nrj-realtime, ...

ROSA Linux distro have chosen kernel-nrj-desktop as the default kernel flavour, but it is possible, after the OS has been installed on the HD or SSD, to install and use any of the of different specialized kernel flavours, some examples?

  • If you have a laptop PC, you need a better Cpu cooling and Energy Saving, we sugggest you kernel-nrj-laptop
  • If you have a laptop / netbook PC, you need better Energy Saving, the lightest flavour is kernel-nrj-netbook
  • If you need a most responsive system for audio applications, we suggest you installing kernel-nrj-realtime
  • If you need to prepare a server for your LAMP applications, we suggest you installing kernel-server
  • it's also possible installing, one or more flavours, from the nrjQL flavour list, just below


3> nrjQL flavours = contain the same patches and features of 2> nrj plus few extended features:

  • C.K. patches, designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity
  • BFS (Process scheduler), enabled by default (instead of standard CFS)
  • UKSM, the Ultra Kernel Memory DeDuplication, enabled by default
  • TOI (Tux On Ice), suspend-to-disk or hibernate, enabled by default
examples: kernel-nrjQL-desktop, kernel-nrjQL-laptop, kernel-nrjQL-realtime, ...

OpenMandriva Lx distro have chosen kernel-nrjQL-desktop as the default kernel flavour, but it is possible, after the OS has been installed on the HD or SSD, to install and use any of the of different specialized kernel flavours, some examples?

  • If you have a laptop PC, you need a better Cpu cooling and Energy Saving, we sugggest you nrjQL-laptop
  • If you have a laptop / netbook PC, you need better Energy Saving, the lightest flavour is nrjQL-netbook
  • If you need a most responsive system for audio applications, we suggest you installing nrjQL-realtime
  • If you need to prepare a server for your LAMP applications, we suggest you installing nrjQL-server
  • If you need preparing a Game Server for CounterStrike or other FPS games, you have nrjQL-server-games
  • If you need a performant server for encoding/decoding, building sources, you have nrjQL-server-computing

Hertz > Timer Wheel, Jiffies and HZ (or, the way it was) http://elinux.org/Kernel_Timer_Systems#Timer_Wheel.2C_Jiffies_and_HZ_.28or.2C_the_way_it_was.29


The original kernel timer system (called the "timer wheel) was based on incrementing a kernel-internal value (jiffies) every timer interrupt. The timer interrupt becomes the default scheduling quamtum, and all other timers are based on jiffies. The timer interrupt rate (and jiffy increment rate) is defined by a compile-time constant called HZ. Different platforms use different values for HZ. Historically, the kernel used 100 as the value for HZ, yielding a jiffy interval of 10 ms. With 2.4, the HZ value for i386 was changed to 1000, yeilding a jiffy interval of 1 ms. Recently (2.6.13) the kernel changed HZ for i386 to 250. (1000 was deemed too high).



Tickless Mode / Dynamic ticks (TkLs) http://elinux.org/Kernel_Timer_Systems


Tickless kernel, dynamic ticks or NO_HZ is a config option that enables a kernel to run without a regular timer tick. The timer tick is a timer interrupt that is usually generated HZ times per second, with the value of HZ being set at compile time and varying between around 100 to 1500. Running without a timer tick means the kernel does less work when idle and can potentially save power because it does not have to wake up regularly just to service the timer. The configuration option is CONFIG_NO_HZ and is set by Tickless System (Dynamic Ticks), on the Kernel Features configuration menu.



Power Governors (Gov.) https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt


OpenMandriva desktop kernel has OnD (OnDemand), the most responsive realtime flavours use Perf (Performance)


Ondemand


The CPUfreq governor "ondemand" sets the CPU depending on the current usage. To do this the CPU must have the capability to switch the frequency very quickly.

Performance


The CPUfreq governor "performance" sets the CPU statically to the highest frequency within the borders of scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq.



Xen hypervisor (Xen) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen http://www.xenproject.org/


Xen in server flavour allows the kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the Xen hypervisor.



CPU Preemption (C.Pr) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preemption_%28computing%29


"Preemptive multitasking allows the computer system to more reliably guarantee each process a regular "slice" of operating time. It also allows the system to rapidly deal with important external events like incoming data, which might require the immediate attention of one or another process."

For the user experience the CPU Preemption makes the Operative System more reactive and responsive to his inputs, more effective in multitasking, and when PC is used as a multimedia workstation



RCU Preemption (R.Pr) http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/whatisRCU.html


http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/whatisRCU.html https://lwn.net/Articles/541037/

RCU has 4 modes, NRJ model is configured as shown in item: 4. SMP && PREEMPT: TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

1. !SMP && !PREEMPT: TINY_RCU, which is used for embedded systems with tiny memories (tens of megabytes).

2. !SMP && PREEMPT: TINY_PREEMPT_RCU, for deep sub-millisecond realtime response on small-memory systems.

3. SMP && !PREEMPT: TREE_RCU, which is used for high performance and scalability on server-class systems where scheduling latencies in milliseconds are acceptable.

4. SMP && PREEMPT: TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which is used for systems requiring high performance, scalability, and deep sub-millisecond response.

So, if you currently use TINY_PREEMPT_RCU, please go forth and test TREE_PREEMPT_RCU on your hardware and workloads.



RCU Boosting (R.bs) http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RCU_BOOST_PRIO.html


This option specifies the real-time priority to which long-term preempted RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working with a real-time application that has one or more CPU-bound threads running at a real-time priority level, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher then the highest-priority real-time CPU-bound thread. The default RCU_BOOST_PRIO value of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads.

Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time thread that saturates a given CPU, but instead might have multiple real-time threads that, taken together, fully utilize that CPU. In this case, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher than the lowest-priority thread that is conspiring to prevent the CPU from running any non-real-time tasks. For example, if one thread at priority 10 and another thread at priority 5 are between themselves fully consuming the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_BOOST_PRIO should be set to priority 6 or higher.



Disk I/O scheduler (Disk) http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/ http://lwn.net/Articles/275978/


We are currently using BFQv7r2, waiting for v7r3 that promises to double the throughput with random load

"BFQ is a proportional-share storage-I/O scheduler that also supports hierarchical scheduling with a cgroups interface. Here are the main nice features of BFQ.

Low latency for interactive applications According to our results, whatever the background load is, for interactive tasks the storage device is virtually as responsive as if it was idle."

Just a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=J-e7LnJblm8



C.K. > Con Kolivas patches


http://users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/

These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload.



BFS - Process Scheduler Prcs


http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/3.0/3.12/3.12-sched-bfs-444.patch

BFS is the Brain Fuck Scheduler. It was designed to be forward looking only, make the most of lower spec machines, and not scale to massive hardware. ie, it is a desktop orientated scheduler, with extremely low latencies for excellent interactivity by design rather than "calculated", with rigid fairness, nice priority distribution and extreme scalability within normal load levels.



UKSM - Memory Deduplicator (MemD)


http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTEzMTI http://kerneldedup.org/en/projects/uksm/

The Ultra KSM (UKSM) patch-set for the Linux kernel continues to be maintained for providing transparent full-system memory de-duplication for Linux. UKSM is about de-duplication of data in system memory rather than being another de-duplicating file-system. UKSM can work for KVM virtualization as well to reduce memory usage for guest virtual machines and there is also a KernelDeDup project for supporting Xen virtualization too, in an effort to reduce memory pressure.



TuxOnIce - TOI (Hybr)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TuxOnIce http://tuxonice.nigelcunningham.com.au/

TuxOnIce (formerly known as Suspend2) is an implementation of the suspend-to-disk (or hibernate) feature which is available as patches for the 2.6 Linux kernel. During the 2.5 kernel era, Pavel Machek forked the original out-of-tree version of swsusp (then at approximately beta 10) and got it merged into the vanilla kernel, while development continued in the swsusp/Suspend2/TuxOnIce line. TuxOnIce includes support for SMP, highmem and preemption.



AUFS3 (misc#1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufs


http://aufs.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/p/aufs/aufs3-standalone/ci/master/tree/

aufs (AnotherUnionFS in version 1, but advanced multi layered unification filesystem since version 2) implements a union mount for Linux file systems.

Developed by Junjiro Okajima in 2006,[1] aufs is a complete rewrite of the earlier UnionFS. It aimed to improve reliability and performance, but also introduced some new concepts, like writable branch balancing,[2] and other improvements - some of which are now implemented in the UnionFS 2.x branch.



OverlayFS (misc#1)


http://sourceforge.net/projects/olfs/

An FUSE filesystem module that merges content of several directories in to a single directory transparently.



Commands and Tools

There are some command tools that are generated from the same kernel srpm

cpupower
to monitor and / or change the Power Governor profile
kernel-header
it contains the needed headers for some applications
perf
to execute some interesting performance comparison tests



To manage the energy profiles, we can use the command tools, mainly cpupower and perf

The operators available are: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance.

All of the kernel flavor for OpenMandriva and ROSA are configured with default OnDemand, except the realtime type flavours and server-games, needing the most of responsiveness, which are configured with Performance governor.


If you have these not installed, you can install now

# urpmi cpupower perf



We can see the list of command options

[root@localhost ~]# cpupower
Usage:  cpupower [-d|--debug] [-c|--cpu cpulist ] <command> [<argsnrgetic>]
Supported commands are:
        frequency-info
        frequency-set
        idle-info
        idle-set
        set
        info
        monitor
        help



To ask which is the used configuration (in the case below is Performance)

[root@localhost ~]# cpupower frequency-info
analisi della CPU 0:
  modulo acpi-cpufreq
  CPU che operano alla stessa frequenza hardware: 0
  CPU che è necessario siano coordinate dal software: 0
  latenza massima durante la transizione: 10.0 us.
  limiti hardware: 1000 MHz - 1.67 GHz
  frequenze disponibili: 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  gestori disponibili: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
  gestore attuale: la frequenza deve mantenersi tra 1000 MHz e 1.67 GHz.
                   Il gestore "ondemand" può decidere quale velocità usare 
                  in questo intervallo.
  la frequenza attuale della CPU è 1.67 GHz (ottenuta da una chiamata diretta all'hardware).
  boost state support:
  Supported: no
  Active: no



If you prefer to enable "powersave" for: the best cpu cooling, more battery lasting, but with the worst performance

[root@localhost ~]# cpupower frequency-set -g powersave
Setting cpu: 0
Setting cpu: 1



We check now that Powersave is on (and it is)

[root@localhost ~]# cpupower frequency-info
analisi della CPU 0:
  modulo acpi-cpufreq
  CPU che operano alla stessa frequenza hardware: 0
  CPU che è necessario siano coordinate dal software: 0
  latenza massima durante la transizione: 10.0 us.
  limiti hardware: 1000 MHz - 1.67 GHz
  frequenze disponibili: 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  gestori disponibili: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
  gestore attuale: la frequenza deve mantenersi tra 1000 MHz e 1.67 GHz.
                   Il gestore "powersave" può decidere quale velocità usare
                  in questo intervallo.
  la frequenza attuale della CPU è 1000 MHz (ottenuta da una chiamata diretta all'hardware).
  boost state support:
    Supported: no
    Active: no



We can edit the config file, to have it permanently

/etc/sysconfig/cpupower

You can replace the 'ondemand' with your preferred governor. Now: Save it and reboot!



Other Kernels

Vanilla Kernels flavours

OpenMandriva has other kernels in its availability, these are generated from different SRPMS

The vanilla flavours are prepared with the most basic vanilla features and configs, with none 3rd party patches add

What is a Vanilla Kernel ?
Is the basic kernel sources in the following link "http://www.kernel.org


  • kernel-vanilla
the basic vanilla 
  • kernel-vanilla-nrj-desktop
vanilla plus the full nrj preemption mode for the CPU and RCU tree, RCU boosting
  • kernel-vanilla-nrj-laptop
vanilla plus the full nrj preemption mode for the CPU and RCU tree, RCU boosting, but at 300Hz


RT Kernels flavours

Kernel RT and the -rt flavours based on the Andrew Morton -rt patchset

What is an RT Kernel ?
Is the basic vanilla kernel sources plus the -rt patches
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/


  • kernel-rt
the basic -rt flavour
  • kernel-rtQL
rt plus other features, most from QL, as AUFS3, BFQ, REISERFS4, TOI, UKSM


How to Install

When you choose the kernel flavour that you want to install, we suggest to install also the source rpm, or at least, the related flavour -devel package

example:

kernel-nrjQL-laptop + kernel-source

otherwise you may install:

kernel-nrjQL-laptop + kernel-nrjQL-laptop-devel


to simplify the installation and automatically the further updates , we can install all through the call for the metapackages named "-latest"

example:

kernel-nrjQL-laptop-latest + kernel-source-latest

otherwise you may install:

kernel-nrjQL-laptop-latest + kernel-nrjQL-laptop-devel-latest



How to Uninstall

You can have a lot of diffent kernel versions and flavours installed concurrently

The default booting kernel will be the one with the greatest version and release

You can select a different boot kernel than the preconfigured as the default:

  • In manual mode, every time yoy must boot your OS, press the Advanced option
    Choose the kernel flavour version / release that you prefer and press Enter
  • In auto mode, load the grub2 customizer, change the kernel you prefer to default, save it!



but, when you collected too many different installed kernels, it can be a good idea,
removing all obsoleted kernels, at least all the ones that you did not use anymore

You can use: 1> the graphic tool (drakrpm) or 2> the commands by console:

1> You can use the rpm graphic tool (drakrpm), to remove all those unwilled kernel rpms:
select the kernel flavour name / version / release with the related -devel files too, then Apply

2> You can also use commands from a root console / terminal you must remind that you must remove also the devel rpms

if you want to delete, for example > kernel-nrj-netbook-3.10.34

# urpme -a kernel-nrj-netbook-3.10.34 kernel-nrj-netbook-devel-3.10.34 --auto



if you want to remove, for example, all the -laptop flavours with its -devel

# urpme -a kernel-nrj-laptop --auto



if you prefer all kernel different than nrj, you can delete all of them: the command below would erase all the nrj kernels with its -devel

# urpme -a kernel-nrj- --auto



if you prefer all kernel different than nrjQL, you can delete all of them: the command below would erase all nrjQL kernels with its -devel

# urpme -a kernel-nrjQL- --auto



VMWare Virtualization

The current versions of the widespread virtualization software VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 and VMPlayer 6.0.1 work fine with the stock Kernel only upto kernel 3.11

With Kernel 3.12. the vmci and vsock modules don't build when kernel has the NAMESPACES with UIDGID enabled
With Kernel 3.13 there is a further build problem, this time is with the vnet module, that need to be fixed properly

We have searched for unofficial patches from other Community, but with no luck

MIB has prepared the solutions and the source patches to solve these troubles

The patched archives (vmci.tar, vsock.tar) for the kernel 3.12 are available here:
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa2012.1/others/vmware-kernel312/

The patched archive (vmnet.tar) for the kernel 3.13.6+ is downloadable from there:
Of course, you need to replace also the two above patched archives for kernel 3.12
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/rosa2012.1/others/vmware-kernel313/

Make a safety backup of the original /source folder contents from

/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

then put in our archives with the fixes in

/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

Now, all the needed vmware modules should be built properly!

The Swap partition: HowTo configure

About SWAP

To work properly a Linux Os needs, at least having one Swap partition, or one for each devices, alternatively is possible create and use one Swapfile into the / root file system.

Generally must be assigned for it the same quantity of memory ram that you've installed on the PC, or a litlle more of that (i.e. +1Gb)

Two examples?

for a PC with 4Gb Ram I suggest assigning 4+1 (5Gb of swap),
for a PC with 8Gb ram I suggest assigning 8+1 (9Gb of swap).



Keep a swap partition ever available, but changing its preconfigured behaviour is also possible!

This may be modified especially when you use a modern SSD device unit (instead than a mechanical Hard Disk), in these case is surely better reducing the swap use and pressure to the less possible.

If you want to try changing 'swap' adoption behaviour, you can use konsole command. If you have a lots of memory available, you can disable the 'swap' almost as entirely...

The main commands that can modify the 'swap' adoption 'on the fly mode', are: 'swappiness' value set, 'swapoff -a' to disable swap, 'swapon -a' to enable swap

If you want to reset after a reboot 'swapoff -a && swapon -a' to update on the fly

"Swappiness" value: You may use "1" or "0": With "1" linux will use the 'swap' will be used very rarely, with "0" linux won't use the "swap' at all unless physical memory is completely filled.

to check the "swappines" default value (is =60)

# cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
60



if you want to reduce its value, you may choose "1" or "0"

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness



to verify that the value is changed (value is now =0)

# cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
0



when you are satisfied by the new configs, you can make these as permanent at reboot, edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, add the following rows:

vm.swappiness=1
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50

You may use "1" or "0" for swappiness value, as I've explained above (perhaps you prefer =0)



Temp files
It's possible reduce the swap use by eliminating the writing of temp files: "Move the temp directories into a ram disk using the 'tmpfs' filesystem, which dynamically expands and shrinks as needed."

Edit the /etc/fstab file, add the 3 rows to the bottom, save it and reboot!

tmpfs   /tmp       tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777   0  0
tmpfs   /var/spool tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777   0  0
tmpfs   /var/tmp   tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777   0  0



Log files
If logs are not important for you, and you don't use a server, you may lose logs after reboot, add this and save!

tmpfs   /var/log   tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=0755   0  0



Monitor EDID Loading

This is first kernel version where two new kernel keys have been enabled. The "EDID ovverride" feature is now available and allows monitor with incorrect (or no) EDID to be enabled at kernel boot A package "edidbins" has been included in the ISOs which provided five binary files to support the most common resolutions. These may be called from the kernel command line at boot such that screen resolution may be force to that which the user desires. Obviously a facility like this should be used with care as it has the potential to damage your monitor. In order to enable one of the supplied edid's you need to add the following line to your kernel command line, with:

drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin

obviously you can select your resolution from those supplied which are:

  • 1024x768
  • 1280x1024
  • 1600x1200
  • 1680x1050
  • 1920x1000


As things currently stand these resolutions are available as soon as the root directory is mounted. If you want these resolutions for plymouth then you will need to incorporate the edid binary file in the initramfs. Dracut the image builder does not currently support this. The current approach would be to unpack the initramfs, add the necessary files and then repack.
