[arch-dev-public] Absence - still - as well as lack of a fast Internet connection
by Thomas Bächler 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Just a status message from me: I moved over 6 weeks ago and am settling in fine, but my boss is keeping me very busy, I've been working with a professor from Dubna/Russia for several weeks now, and will be doing so until Christmas. This effectively prevents me from doing any Arch work during the day. I don't have my own broadband connection at home yet, so working in the evenings is virtually impossible, as the wireless connections I have access to give me very bad speed, high latency and are unstable. Aaron requested me to orphan filesystems and initscripts. I don't feel that orphaning them is necessary (I will do that if you insist), however, Roman assigned a couple of bugs to me which I cannot take care of. Roman, if you find new bugs for any of my stuff, could you please assign them to someone else as well (for example Aaron for initscripts). On another note, if anyone finds himself with spare time, feel free to do any of those updates (my dashboard out of date list): * Extra::bftpd 2.0 * Extra::davfs2 1.2.2 * Extra::flashplayer-standalone 9.0.48.0 * Extra::ginac 1.3.7 * Extra::hibernate-script 1.96 * Extra::mplayer 1.0rc2 * Core::iwlwifi 1.2.0 * Core::klibc-udev 116 * Core::lvm2 2.02.28 * Core::ntfs-3g 1.1004 * Core::wpa_supplicant 0.5.8 I think flashplayer-standalone doesn't have a new version (it is hard to find anyway). mplayer is just the x264 rebuild for testing. I feel very strong about lvm2, ntfs-3g and wpa_supplicant. Also, I built my own local version of wpa_supplicant_gui with the qt4 version in the source tarball. As we use qt4 now, we might as well use that version in the future. If someone updates hibernate, make sure to adjust our patch to it, it adds some arch-specific stuff. I hope to find some time for arch again after Christmas, but cannot guarantee anything now. I will keep you informed. Have a nice December Thomas

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] Add boot probing hooks
by Simo Leone 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Initscripts now export their state to an arbitrary boot logging/probing program. This opens up the possibility for advanced boot profiling, among other interesting uses. --- functions | 17 +++++++++++++++++ rc.conf | 1 - rc.multi | 6 ++++++ rc.shutdown | 2 ++ rc.sysinit | 10 ++++++++++ 5 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/functions b/functions index 8b5ecf1..ebde3ca 100644 --- a/functions +++ b/functions @@ -3,6 +3,19 @@ # functions # +# source boot monitoring functions and settings +if [ -x "${BOOT_PROBE}" ]; then + source /etc/`basename ${BOOT_PROBE}`.conf &>/dev/null + source /etc/rc.d/`basename ${BOOT_PROBE}`-functions + emit_state() { + ${BOOT_PROBE} $@ + } +else + emit_state() { + : + } +fi + # width: STAT_COL=$(stty size) @@ -81,6 +94,7 @@ stat_bkgd() { echo -ne "$C_OTHER$PREFIX_REG $C_MAIN$1$C_CLEAR " deltext echo -ne " $C_OTHER[${C_BKGD}BKGD$C_OTHER]$C_CLEAR " + emit_state bkgd } stat_busy() { @@ -88,6 +102,7 @@ stat_busy() { echo -ne "${SAVE_POSITION}" deltext echo -ne " $C_OTHER[${C_BUSY}BUSY$C_OTHER]$C_CLEAR " + emit_state busy } stat_append() { @@ -99,11 +114,13 @@ stat_append() { stat_done() { deltext echo -e " $C_OTHER[${C_DONE}DONE$C_OTHER]$C_CLEAR " + emit_state done } stat_fail() { deltext echo -e " $C_OTHER[${C_FAIL}FAIL$C_OTHER]$C_CLEAR " + emit_state fail } stat_die() { diff --git a/rc.conf b/rc.conf index 43a597e..167b65f 100644 --- a/rc.conf +++ b/rc.conf @@ -89,5 +89,4 @@ ROUTES=(!gateway) # DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond) - # End of file diff --git a/rc.multi b/rc.multi index 8050e98..5c4a3b3 100755 --- a/rc.multi +++ b/rc.multi @@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions +emit_state multi_startup + # Load sysctl variables if sysctl.conf is present [ -r /etc/sysctl.conf ] && /sbin/sysctl -q -p &>/dev/null @@ -14,9 +16,11 @@ for daemon in "${DAEMONS[@]}"; do if [ "$daemon" = "${daemon#!}" ]; then if [ "$daemon" = "${daemon#@}" ]; then /etc/rc.d/$daemon start + emit_state multi_progress else stat_bkgd "Starting ${daemon:1}" (/etc/rc.d/${daemon:1} start) &>/dev/null & + emit_state multi_progress_bkgd fi fi done @@ -25,4 +29,6 @@ if [ -x /etc/rc.local ]; then /etc/rc.local fi +emit_state exit + # vim: set ts=2 noet: diff --git a/rc.shutdown b/rc.shutdown index 19cb00f..a1771a8 100755 --- a/rc.shutdown +++ b/rc.shutdown @@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions +emit_state shutdown + # avoid staircase effect /bin/stty onlcr diff --git a/rc.sysinit b/rc.sysinit index f4729bf..6559f3f 100755 --- a/rc.sysinit +++ b/rc.sysinit @@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions +emit_state boot + echo " " printhl "Arch Linux $C_OTHER(${C_H2}Core Dump$C_OTHER)\n" printhl "${C_H2}http://www.archlinux.org" @@ -88,6 +90,9 @@ if [ -d /sys/class/net/lo ]; then fi fi +# tell probing programs to get ready +emit_state init + # If using an encrypted root fs, we should find the root dev in the initrd # FIXME: obsoleted by initramfs and udev if [ -e /initrd/dev/mapper/root ]; then @@ -232,6 +237,8 @@ if [ -x /sbin/fsck ]; then fsckret=$? if [ ${fsckret} -gt 1 ]; then stat_fail + # oh crap. tell probers not to hide anything. + emit_state verbose if [ $((${fsckret}&2)) -eq 2 ]; then echo echo "********************** REBOOT REQUIRED *********************" @@ -399,5 +406,8 @@ fi # Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time /usr/bin/setterm -blank 15 +# set things up for probing in rc.multi +emit_state multi + # End of file # vim: set ts=2 noet: -- 1.5.3.4
