Debian boots quicker and quicker

+

2009-06-24 21:40

+

+

I spent Monday and tuesday this week in London with a lot of the +people involved in the boot system on Debian and Ubuntu, to see if we +could find more ways to speed up the boot system. This was an Ubuntu +funded +developer +gathering. It was quite productive. We also discussed the future +of boot systems, and ways to handle the increasing number of boot +issues introduced by the Linux kernel becoming more and more +asynchronous and event base. The Ubuntu approach using udev and +upstart might be a good way forward. Time will show.

+ +

Anyway, there are a few ways at the moment to speed up the boot +process in Debian. All of these should be applied to get a quick +boot:

+ +

Use dash as /bin/sh.
Disable the init.d/hwclock*.sh scripts and make sure the hardware + clock is in UTC.
Install and activate the insserv package to enable + dependency + based boot sequencing, and enable concurrent booting.

+ +These points are based on the Google summer of code work done by +Carlos +Villegas. + +

Support for makefile-style concurrency during boot was uploaded to +unstable yesterday. When we tested it, we were able to cut 6 seconds +from the boot sequence. It depend on very correct dependency +declaration in all init.d scripts, so I expect us to find edge cases +where the dependences in some scripts are slightly wrong when we start +using this.

+ +

On our IRC channel for this effort, #pkg-sysvinit, a new idea was +introduced by Raphael Geissert today, one that could affect the +startup speed as well. Instead of starting some scripts concurrently +from rcS.d/ and another set of scripts from rc2.d/, it would be +possible to run a of them in the same process. A quick way to test +this would be to enable insserv and run 'mv /etc/rc2.d/S* /etc/rcS.d/; +insserv'. Will need to test if that work. :)

Two projects that have improved the quality of free software a lot

-

2009-05-02 15:00

-

-

There are two software projects that have had huge influence on the -quality of free software, and I wanted to mention both in case someone -do not yet know them.

- -

The first one is valgrind, a -tool to detect and expose errors in the memory handling of programs. -It is easy to use, all one need to do is to run 'valgrind program', -and it will report any problems on stdout. It is even better if the -program include debug information. With debug information, it is able -to report the source file name and line number where the problem -occurs. It can report things like 'reading past memory block in file -X line N, the memory block was allocated in file Y, line M', and -'using uninitialised value in control logic'. This tool has made it -trivial to investigate reproducible crash bugs in programs, and have -reduced the number of this kind of bugs in free software a lot. - -

The second one is -Coverity which is -a source code checker. It is able to process the source of a program -and find problems in the logic without running the program. It -started out as the Stanford Checker and became well known when it was -used to find bugs in the Linux kernel. It is now a commercial tool -and the company behind it is running -a community service for the -free software community, where a lot of free software projects get -their source checked for free. Several thousand defects have been -found and fixed so far. It can find errors like 'lock L taken in file -X line N is never released if exiting in line M', or 'the code in file -Y lines O to P can never be executed'. The projects included in the -community service project have managed to get rid of a lot of -reliability problems thanks to Coverity.

- -

I believe tools like this, that are able to automatically find -errors in the source, are vital to improve the quality of software and -make sure we can get rid of the crashing and failing software we are -surrounded by today.

I spent Monday and tuesday this week in London with a lot of the +people involved in the boot system on Debian and Ubuntu, to see if we +could find more ways to speed up the boot system. This was an Ubuntu +funded +developer +gathering. It was quite productive. We also discussed the future +of boot systems, and ways to handle the increasing number of boot +issues introduced by the Linux kernel becoming more and more +asynchronous and event base. The Ubuntu approach using udev and +upstart might be a good way forward. Time will show.

+ +

Anyway, there are a few ways at the moment to speed up the boot +process in Debian. All of these should be applied to get a quick +boot:

+ +

Use dash as /bin/sh.
Disable the init.d/hwclock*.sh scripts and make sure the hardware + clock is in UTC.
Install and activate the insserv package to enable + dependency + based boot sequencing, and enable concurrent booting.

+ +These points are based on the Google summer of code work done by +Carlos +Villegas. + +
