A PAC is derived from +a pointer, another value (such as the stack pointer), and a secret key +held in system registers. + +The extension adds instructions to insert a valid PAC into a pointer, +and to verify/remove the PAC from a pointer. The PAC occupies a number +of high-order bits of the pointer, which varies dependent on the +configured virtual address size and whether pointer tagging is in use. + +A subset of these instructions have been allocated from the HINT +encoding space. In the absence of the extension (or when disabled), +these instructions behave as NOPs. Applications and libraries using +these instructions operate correctly regardless of the presence of the +extension. + +The extension provides five separate keys to generate PACs - two for +instruction addresses (APIAKey, APIBKey), two for data addresses +(APDAKey, APDBKey), and one for generic authentication (APGAKey). + + +Basic support +------------- + +When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and relevant HW support is +present, the kernel will assign random key values to each process at +exec*() time. The keys are shared by all threads within the process, and +are preserved across fork(). + +Presence of address authentication functionality is advertised via +HWCAP_PACA, and generic authentication functionality via HWCAP_PACG. + +The number of bits that the PAC occupies in a pointer is 55 minus the +virtual address size configured by the kernel. For example, with a +virtual address size of 48, the PAC is 7 bits wide. + +Recent versions of GCC can compile code with APIAKey-based return +address protection when passed the -msign-return-address option. This +uses instructions in the HINT space (unless -march=armv8.3-a or higher +is also passed), and such code can run on systems without the pointer +authentication extension. + +In addition to exec(), keys can also be reinitialized to random values +using the PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS prctl. A bitmask of PR_PAC_APIAKEY, +PR_PAC_APIBKEY, PR_PAC_APDAKEY, PR_PAC_APDBKEY and PR_PAC_APGAKEY +specifies which keys are to be reinitialized; specifying 0 means "all +keys". + + +Debugging +--------- + +When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and HW support for address +authentication is present, the kernel will expose the position of TTBR0 +PAC bits in the NT_ARM_PAC_MASK regset (struct user_pac_mask), which +userspace can acquire via PTRACE_GETREGSET. + +The regset is exposed only when HWCAP_PACA is set.

Let's assume a blkio hierarchy -composed of five cgroups - root, A, B, AA and AB - with the following -weights where the names represent the hierarchy. - - weight leaf_weight - root : 125 125 - A : 500 750 - B : 250 500 - AA : 500 500 - AB : 1000 500 - -root never has a parent making its weight is meaningless. For backward -compatibility, weight is always kept in sync with leaf_weight. B, AA -and AB have no child and thus its tasks have no children cgroup to -compete with. They always get 100% of what the cgroup won at the -parent level. Considering only the weights which matter, the hierarchy -looks like the following. - - root - / | \ - A B leaf - 500 250 125 - / | \ - AA AB leaf - 500 1000 750 - -If all cgroups have active IOs and competing with each other, disk -time will be distributed like the following. - -Distribution below root. The total active weight at this level is -A:500 + B:250 + C:125 = 875. - - root-leaf : 125 / 875 =~ 14% - A : 500 / 875 =~ 57% - B(-leaf) : 250 / 875 =~ 28% - -A has children and further distributes its 57% among the children and -the implicit leaf node.

Higher priority -process gets bigger time slice and lower priority process gets smaller time -slice. Measuring time becomes harder if storage is fast and supports NCQ and -it would be better to dispatch multiple requests from multiple cfq queues in -request queue at a time. In such scenario, it is not possible to measure time -consumed by single queue accurately. - -What is possible though is to measure number of requests dispatched from a -single queue and also allow dispatch from multiple cfq queue at the same time. -This effectively becomes the fairness in terms of IOPS (IO operations per -second). - -If one sets slice_idle=0 and if storage supports NCQ, CFQ internally switches -to IOPS mode and starts providing fairness in terms of number of requests -dispatched. Note that this mode switching takes effect only for group -scheduling. For non-cgroup users nothing should change. - -CFQ IO scheduler Idling Theory -=============================== -Idling on a queue is primarily about waiting for the next request to come -on same queue after completion of a request. In this process CFQ will not -dispatch requests from other cfq queues even if requests are pending there. - -The rationale behind idling is that it can cut down on number of seeks -on rotational media. For example, if a process is doing dependent -sequential reads (next read will come on only after completion of previous -one), then not dispatching request from other queue should help as we -did not move the disk head and kept on dispatching sequential IO from -one queue. - -CFQ has following service trees and various queues are put on these trees. - - sync-idle sync-noidle async - -All cfq queues doing synchronous sequential IO go on to sync-idle tree. -On this tree we idle on each queue individually. - -All synchronous non-sequential queues go on sync-noidle tree. Also any -synchronous write request which is not marked with REQ_IDLE goes on this -service tree. On this tree we do not idle on individual queues instead idle -on the whole group of queues or the tree. So if there are 4 queues waiting -for IO to dispatch we will idle only once last queue has dispatched the IO -and there is no more IO on this service tree. - -All async writes go on async service tree. There is no idling on async -queues. - -CFQ has some optimizations for SSDs and if it detects a non-rotational -media which can support higher queue depth (multiple requests at in -flight at a time), then it cuts down on idling of individual queues and -all the queues move to sync-noidle tree and only tree idle remains. This -tree idling provides isolation with buffered write queues on async tree. - -FAQ -=== -Q1. Why to idle at all on queues not marked with REQ_IDLE. - -A1. We only do tree idle (all queues on sync-noidle tree) on queues not marked - with REQ_IDLE. This helps in providing isolation with all the sync-idle - queues. Otherwise in presence of many sequential readers, other - synchronous IO might not get fair share of disk. - - For example, if there are 10 sequential readers doing IO and they get - 100ms each. If a !REQ_IDLE request comes in, it will be scheduled - roughly after 1 second. If after completion of !REQ_IDLE request we - do not idle, and after a couple of milli seconds a another !REQ_IDLE - request comes in, again it will be scheduled after 1second. Repeat it - and notice how a workload can lose its disk share and suffer due to - multiple sequential readers. - - fsync can generate dependent IO where bunch of data is written in the - context of fsync, and later some journaling data is written. Journaling - data comes in only after fsync has finished its IO (atleast for ext4 - that seemed to be the case). Now if one decides not to idle on fsync - thread due to !REQ_IDLE, then next journaling write will not get - scheduled for another second. A process doing small fsync, will suffer - badly in presence of multiple sequential readers. - - Hence doing tree idling on threads using !REQ_IDLE flag on requests - provides isolation from multiple sequential readers and at the same - time we do not idle on individual threads. - -Q2. When to specify REQ_IDLE -A2. I would think whenever one is doing synchronous write and expecting - more writes to be dispatched from same context soon, should be able - to specify REQ_IDLE on writes and that probably should work well for - most of the cases. diff --git a/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt b/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt index 2c1e67058fd3..39e286d7afc9 100644 --- a/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt +++ b/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ guess, the kernel will put the process issuing IO to sleep for an amount of time, before entering a classic poll loop.

Schema files are +written in a JSON compatible subset of YAML. YAML is used instead of JSON as it +considered more human readable and has some advantages such as allowing +comments (Prefixed with '#'). + +## Schema Contents + +Each schema doc is a structured json-schema which is defined by a set of +top-level properties. Generally, there is one binding defined per file. The +top-level json-schema properties used are: + +- __$id__ - A json-schema unique identifier string. The string must be a valid +URI typically containing the binding's filename and path. For DT schema, it must +begin with "http://devicetree.org/schemas/". The URL is used in constructing +references to other files specified in schema "$ref" properties. A $ref values +with a leading '/' will have the hostname prepended. A $ref value a relative +path or filename only will be prepended with the hostname and path components +of the current schema file's '$id' value. A URL is used even for local files, +but there may not actually be files present at those locations. + +- __$schema__ - Indicates the meta-schema the schema file adheres to. + +- __title__ - A one line description on the contents of the binding schema. + +- __maintainers__ - A DT specific property. Contains a list of email address(es) +for maintainers of this binding. + +- __description__ - Optional. A multi-line text block containing any detailed +information about this binding. It should contain things such as what the block +or device does, standards the device conforms to, and links to datasheets for +more information. + +- __select__ - Optional. A json-schema used to match nodes for applying the +schema. By default without 'select', nodes are matched against their possible +compatible string values or node name. Most bindings should not need select. + +- __allOf__ - Optional. A list of other schemas to include. This is used to +include other schemas the binding conforms to. This may be schemas for a +particular class of devices such as I2C or SPI controllers. + +- __properties__ - A set of sub-schema defining all the DT properties for the +binding. The exact schema syntax depends on whether properties are known, +common properties (e.g. 'interrupts') or are binding/vendor specific properties. + + A property can also define a child DT node with child properties defined +under it. + + For more details on properties sections, see 'Property Schema' section. + +- __patternProperties__ - Optional. Similar to 'properties', but names are regex. + +- __required__ - A list of DT properties from the 'properties' section that +must always be present. + +- __examples__ - Optional. A list of one or more DTS hunks implementing the +binding. Note: YAML doesn't allow leading tabs, so spaces must be used instead. + +Unless noted otherwise, all properties are required. + +## Property Schema + +The 'properties' section of the schema contains all the DT properties for a +binding. Each property contains a set of constraints using json-schema +vocabulary for that property. The properties schemas are what is used for +validation of DT files. + +For common properties, only additional constraints not covered by the common +binding schema need to be defined such as how many values are valid or what +possible values are valid. + +Vendor specific properties will typically need more detailed schema. With the +exception of boolean properties, they should have a reference to a type in +schemas/types.yaml. A "description" property is always required. + +The Devicetree schemas don't exactly match the YAML encoded DT data produced by +dtc. They are simplified to make them more compact and avoid a bunch of +boilerplate. The tools process the schema files to produce the final schema for +validation. There are currently 2 transformations the tools perform. + +The default for arrays in json-schema is they are variable sized and allow more +entries than explicitly defined. This can be restricted by defining 'minItems', +'maxItems', and 'additionalItems'. However, for DeviceTree Schemas, a fixed +size is desired in most cases, so these properties are added based on the +number of entries in an 'items' list. + +The YAML Devicetree format also makes all string values an array and scalar +values a matrix (in order to define groupings) even when only a single value +is present. Single entries in schemas are fixed up to match this encoding. + +## Testing + +### Dependencies + +The DT schema project must be installed in order to validate the DT schema +binding documents and validate DTS files using the DT schema.

When a +TCP socket is in LISTEN state, and kernel need to drop a packet, +kernel would always add 1 to TcpExtListenDrops. So increase +TcpExtListenOverflows would let TcpExtListenDrops increasing at the +same time, but TcpExtListenDrops would also increase without +TcpExtListenOverflows increasing, e.g. a memory allocation fail would +also let TcpExtListenDrops increase. + +Note: The above explanation is based on kernel 4.10 or above version, on +an old kernel, the TCP stack has different behavior when TCP accept +queue is full. On the old kernel, TCP stack won't drop the SYN, it +would complete the 3-way handshake. As the accept queue is full, TCP +stack will keep the socket in the TCP half-open queue. As it is in the +half open queue, TCP stack will send SYN+ACK on an exponential backoff +timer, after client replies ACK, TCP stack checks whether the accept +queue is still full, if it is not full, moves the socket to the accept +queue, if it is full, keeps the socket in the half-open queue, at next +time client replies ACK, this socket will get another chance to move +to the accept queue. + + +TCP Fast Open +============ +When kernel receives a TCP packet, it has two paths to handler the +packet, one is fast path, another is slow path. The comment in kernel +code provides a good explanation of them, I pasted them below:: + + It is split into a fast path and a slow path. The fast path is + disabled when: + + - A zero window was announced from us + - zero window probing + is only handled properly on the slow path. + - Out of order segments arrived. + - Urgent data is expected. + - There is no buffer space left + - Unexpected TCP flags/window values/header lengths are received + (detected by checking the TCP header against pred_flags) + - Data is sent in both directions. The fast path only supports pure senders + or pure receivers (this means either the sequence number or the ack + value must stay constant) + - Unexpected TCP option. + +Kernel will try to use fast path unless any of the above conditions +are satisfied. If the packets are out of order, kernel will handle +them in slow path, which means the performance might be not very +good. Kernel would also come into slow path if the "Delayed ack" is +used, because when using "Delayed ack", the data is sent in both +directions. When the TCP window scale option is not used, kernel will +try to enable fast path immediately when the connection comes into the +established state, but if the TCP window scale option is used, kernel +will disable the fast path at first, and try to enable it after kernel +receives packets. + +* TcpExtTCPPureAcks and TcpExtTCPHPAcks +If a packet set ACK flag and has no data, it is a pure ACK packet, if +kernel handles it in the fast path, TcpExtTCPHPAcks will increase 1, +if kernel handles it in the slow path, TcpExtTCPPureAcks will +increase 1. + +* TcpExtTCPHPHits +If a TCP packet has data (which means it is not a pure ACK packet), +and this packet is handled in the fast path, TcpExtTCPHPHits will +increase 1. + + +TCP abort +======== + + +* TcpExtTCPAbortOnData +It means TCP layer has data in flight, but need to close the +connection. So TCP layer sends a RST to the other side, indicate the +connection is not closed very graceful. An easy way to increase this +counter is using the SO_LINGER option. Please refer to the SO_LINGER +section of the `socket man page`_: + +.. _socket man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html + +By default, when an application closes a connection, the close function +will return immediately and kernel will try to send the in-flight data +async. If you use the SO_LINGER option, set l_onoff to 1, and l_linger +to a positive number, the close function won't return immediately, but +wait for the in-flight data are acked by the other side, the max wait +time is l_linger seconds. If set l_onoff to 1 and set l_linger to 0, +when the application closes a connection, kernel will send a RST +immediately and increase the TcpExtTCPAbortOnData counter. + +* TcpExtTCPAbortOnClose +This counter means the application has unread data in the TCP layer when +the application wants to close the TCP connection. In such a situation, +kernel will send a RST to the other side of the TCP connection. + +* TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory +When an application closes a TCP connection, kernel still need to track +the connection, let it complete the TCP disconnect process. E.g. an +app calls the close method of a socket, kernel sends fin to the other +side of the connection, then the app has no relationship with the +socket any more, but kernel need to keep the socket, this socket +becomes an orphan socket, kernel waits for the reply of the other side, +and would come to the TIME_WAIT state finally. When kernel has no +enough memory to keep the orphan socket, kernel would send an RST to +the other side, and delete the socket, in such situation, kernel will +increase 1 to the TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory. Two conditions would trigger +TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory: + +1. the memory used by the TCP protocol is higher than the third value of +the tcp_mem. Please refer the tcp_mem section in the `TCP man page`_: + +.. _TCP man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/tcp.7.html + +2. the orphan socket count is higher than net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans + + +* TcpExtTCPAbortOnTimeout +This counter will increase when any of the TCP timers expire. In such +situation, kernel won't send RST, just give up the connection. + +* TcpExtTCPAbortOnLinger +When a TCP connection comes into FIN_WAIT_2 state, instead of waiting +for the fin packet from the other side, kernel could send a RST and +delete the socket immediately. This is not the default behavior of +Linux kernel TCP stack. By configuring the TCP_LINGER2 socket option, +you could let kernel follow this behavior. + +* TcpExtTCPAbortFailed +The kernel TCP layer will send RST if the `RFC2525 2.17 section`_ is +satisfied. If an internal error occurs during this process, +TcpExtTCPAbortFailed will be increased. + +.. _RFC2525 2.17 section: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2525#page-50 + +TCP Hybrid Slow Start +==================== +The Hybrid Slow Start algorithm is an enhancement of the traditional +TCP congestion window Slow Start algorithm. It uses two pieces of +information to detect whether the max bandwidth of the TCP path is +approached. The two pieces of information are ACK train length and +increase in packet delay. For detail information, please refer the +`Hybrid Slow Start paper`_. Either ACK train length or packet delay +hits a specific threshold, the congestion control algorithm will come +into the Congestion Avoidance state. Until v4.20, two congestion +control algorithms are using Hybrid Slow Start, they are cubic (the +default congestion control algorithm) and cdg. Four snmp counters +relate with the Hybrid Slow Start algorithm. + +.. _Hybrid Slow Start paper: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/25e9/ef3f03315782c7f1cbcd31b587857adae7d1.pdf + +* TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect +How many times the ACK train length threshold is detected + +* TcpExtTCPHystartTrainCwnd +The sum of CWND detected by ACK train length.

Dividing this value by +TcpExtTCPHystartDelayDetect is the average CWND which detected by the +packet delay. + +TCP retransmission and congestion control +====================================== +The TCP protocol has two retransmission mechanisms: SACK and fast +recovery. They are exclusive with each other. When SACK is enabled, +the kernel TCP stack would use SACK, or kernel would use fast +recovery. The SACK is a TCP option, which is defined in `RFC2018`_, +the fast recovery is defined in `RFC6582`_, which is also called +'Reno'. + +The TCP congestion control is a big and complex topic. To understand +the related snmp counter, we need to know the states of the congestion +control state machine. There are 5 states: Open, Disorder, CWR, +Recovery and Loss. For details about these states, please refer page 5 +and page 6 of this document: +https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0e9c/968d09ab2e53e24c4dca5b2d67c7f7140f8e.pdf + +.. _RFC2018: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2018 +.. _RFC6582: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6582 + +* TcpExtTCPRenoRecovery and TcpExtTCPSackRecovery +When the congestion control comes into Recovery state, if sack is +used, TcpExtTCPSackRecovery increases 1, if sack is not used, +TcpExtTCPRenoRecovery increases 1. These two counters mean the TCP +stack begins to retransmit the lost packets. + +* TcpExtTCPSACKReneging +A packet was acknowledged by SACK, but the receiver has dropped this +packet, so the sender needs to retransmit this packet. In this +situation, the sender adds 1 to TcpExtTCPSACKReneging. A receiver +could drop a packet which has been acknowledged by SACK, although it is +unusual, it is allowed by the TCP protocol. The sender doesn't really +know what happened on the receiver side. The sender just waits until +the RTO expires for this packet, then the sender assumes this packet +has been dropped by the receiver. + +* TcpExtTCPRenoReorder +The reorder packet is detected by fast recovery. It would only be used +if SACK is disabled. The fast recovery algorithm detects recorder by +the duplicate ACK number. E.g., if retransmission is triggered, and +the original retransmitted packet is not lost, it is just out of +order, the receiver would acknowledge multiple times, one for the +retransmitted packet, another for the arriving of the original out of +order packet. Thus the sender would find more ACks than its +expectation, and the sender knows out of order occurs. + +* TcpExtTCPTSReorder +The reorder packet is detected when a hole is filled. E.g., assume the +sender sends packet 1,2,3,4,5, and the receiving order is +1,2,4,5,3. When the sender receives the ACK of packet 3 (which will +fill the hole), two conditions will let TcpExtTCPTSReorder increase +1: (1) if the packet 3 is not re-retransmitted yet. (2) if the packet +3 is retransmitted but the timestamp of the packet 3's ACK is earlier +than the retransmission timestamp. + +* TcpExtTCPSACKReorder +The reorder packet detected by SACK. The SACK has two methods to +detect reorder: (1) DSACK is received by the sender. It means the +sender sends the same packet more than one times. And the only reason +is the sender believes an out of order packet is lost so it sends the +packet again. (2) Assume packet 1,2,3,4,5 are sent by the sender, and +the sender has received SACKs for packet 2 and 5, now the sender +receives SACK for packet 4 and the sender doesn't retransmit the +packet yet, the sender would know packet 4 is out of order. The TCP +stack of kernel will increase TcpExtTCPSACKReorder for both of the +above scenarios. + + +DSACK +===== +The DSACK is defined in `RFC2883`_. The receiver uses DSACK to report +duplicate packets to the sender. There are two kinds of +duplications: (1) a packet which has been acknowledged is +duplicate. (2) an out of order packet is duplicate. The TCP stack +counts these two kinds of duplications on both receiver side and +sender side. + +.. _RFC2883 : https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2883 + +* TcpExtTCPDSACKOldSent +The TCP stack receives a duplicate packet which has been acked, so it +sends a DSACK to the sender. + +* TcpExtTCPDSACKOfoSent +The TCP stack receives an out of order duplicate packet, so it sends a +DSACK to the sender. + +* TcpExtTCPDSACKRecv +The TCP stack receives a DSACK, which indicate an acknowledged +duplicate packet is received. + +* TcpExtTCPDSACKOfoRecv +The TCP stack receives a DSACK, which indicate an out of order +duplicate packet is received. + +TCP out of order +=============== +* TcpExtTCPOFOQueue +The TCP layer receives an out of order packet and has enough memory +to queue it. + +* TcpExtTCPOFODrop +The TCP layer receives an out of order packet but doesn't have enough +memory, so drops it. Such packets won't be counted into +TcpExtTCPOFOQueue. + +* TcpExtTCPOFOMerge +The received out of order packet has an overlay with the previous +packet. the overlay part will be dropped. All of TcpExtTCPOFOMerge +packets will also be counted into TcpExtTCPOFOQueue. + +TCP PAWS +======= +PAWS (Protection Against Wrapped Sequence numbers) is an algorithm +which is used to drop old packets. It depends on the TCP +timestamps. For detail information, please refer the `timestamp wiki`_ +and the `RFC of PAWS`_. + +.. _RFC of PAWS: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1323#page-17 +.. _timestamp wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol#TCP_timestamps + +* TcpExtPAWSActive +Packets are dropped by PAWS in Syn-Sent status. + +* TcpExtPAWSEstab +Packets are dropped by PAWS in any status other than Syn-Sent. + +TCP ACK skip +=========== +In some scenarios, kernel would avoid sending duplicate ACKs too +frequently. Please find more details in the tcp_invalid_ratelimit +section of the `sysctl document`_. When kernel decides to skip an ACK +due to tcp_invalid_ratelimit, kernel would update one of below +counters to indicate the ACK is skipped in which scenario. The ACK +would only be skipped if the received packet is either a SYN packet or +it has no data. + +.. _sysctl document: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedSynRecv +The ACK is skipped in Syn-Recv status. The Syn-Recv status means the +TCP stack receives a SYN and replies SYN+ACK. Now the TCP stack is +waiting for an ACK. Generally, the TCP stack doesn't need to send ACK +in the Syn-Recv status. But in several scenarios, the TCP stack need +to send an ACK. E.g., the TCP stack receives the same SYN packet +repeately, the received packet does not pass the PAWS check, or the +received packet sequence number is out of window. In these scenarios, +the TCP stack needs to send ACK. If the ACk sending frequency is higher than +tcp_invalid_ratelimit allows, the TCP stack will skip sending ACK and +increase TcpExtTCPACKSkippedSynRecv. + + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedPAWS +The ACK is skipped due to PAWS (Protect Against Wrapped Sequence +numbers) check fails. If the PAWS check fails in Syn-Recv, Fin-Wait-2 +or Time-Wait statuses, the skipped ACK would be counted to +TcpExtTCPACKSkippedSynRecv, TcpExtTCPACKSkippedFinWait2 or +TcpExtTCPACKSkippedTimeWait. In all other statuses, the skipped ACK +would be counted to TcpExtTCPACKSkippedPAWS. + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedSeq +The sequence number is out of window and the timestamp passes the PAWS +check and the TCP status is not Syn-Recv, Fin-Wait-2, and Time-Wait. + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedFinWait2 +The ACK is skipped in Fin-Wait-2 status, the reason would be either +PAWS check fails or the received sequence number is out of window. + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedTimeWait +Tha ACK is skipped in Time-Wait status, the reason would be either +PAWS check failed or the received sequence number is out of window. + +* TcpExtTCPACKSkippedChallenge +The ACK is skipped if the ACK is a challenge ACK. The RFC 5961 defines +3 kind of challenge ACK, please refer `RFC 5961 section 3.2`_, +`RFC 5961 section 4.2`_ and `RFC 5961 section 5.2`_.

Run the iptables command, the server will drop all packets from +the client, type Ctrl-C on client_orphan.py, the system of the client +would try to close these connections, and before they are closed +gracefully, these connections became orphan sockets. As the iptables +of the server blocked packets from the client, the server won't receive fin +from the client, so all connection on clients would be stuck on FIN_WAIT_1 +stage, so they will keep as orphan sockets until timeout. We have echo +10 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_orphans, so the client system would +only keep 10 orphan sockets, for all other orphan sockets, the client +system sent RST for them and delete them. We have 64 connections, so +the 'ss -s' command shows the system has 10 orphan sockets, and the +value of TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory was 54. + +An additional explanation about orphan socket count: You could find the +exactly orphan socket count by the 'ss -s' command, but when kernel +decide whither increases TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory and sends RST, kernel +doesn't always check the exactly orphan socket count. For increasing +performance, kernel checks an approximate count firstly, if the +approximate count is more than tcp_max_orphans, kernel checks the +exact count again. So if the approximate count is less than +tcp_max_orphans, but exactly count is more than tcp_max_orphans, you +would find TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory is not increased at all. If +tcp_max_orphans is large enough, it won't occur, but if you decrease +tcp_max_orphans to a small value like our test, you might find this +issue. So in our test, the client set up 64 connections although the +tcp_max_orphans is 10. If the client only set up 11 connections, we +can't find the change of TcpExtTCPAbortOnMemory. + +Continue the previous test, we wait for several minutes. Because of the +iptables on the server blocked the traffic, the server wouldn't receive +fin, and all the client's orphan sockets would timeout on the +FIN_WAIT_1 state finally. So we wait for a few minutes, we could find +10 timeout on the client:: + + nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nstat | grep -i abort + TcpExtTCPAbortOnTimeout 10 0.0 + +TcpExtTCPAbortOnLinger +--------------------- +The server side code:: + + nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ cat server_linger.py + import socket + import time + + port = 9000 + + s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) + s.bind(('0.0.0.0', port)) + s.listen(1) + sock, addr = s.accept() + while True: + time.sleep(9999999) + +The client side code:: + + nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ cat client_linger.py + import socket + import struct + + server = 'nstat-b' # server address + port = 9000 + + s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) + s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_LINGER, struct.pack('ii', 1, 10)) + s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, socket.TCP_LINGER2, struct.pack('i', -1)) + s.connect((server, port)) + s.close() + +Run server_linger.py on server:: + + nstatuser@nstat-b:~$ python3 server_linger.py + +Run client_linger.py on client:: + + nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ python3 client_linger.py + +After run client_linger.py, check the output of nstat:: + + nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ nstat | grep -i abort + TcpExtTCPAbortOnLinger 1 0.0 + +TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce +------------------- +On the server, we run a program which listen on TCP port 9000, but +doesn't read any data:: + + import socket + import time + port = 9000 + s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) + s.bind(('0.0.0.0', port)) + s.listen(1) + sock, addr = s.accept() + while True: + time.sleep(9999999) + +Save the above code as server_coalesce.py, and run:: + + python3 server_coalesce.py + +On the client, save below code as client_coalesce.py:: + + import socket + server = 'nstat-b' + port = 9000 + s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) + s.connect((server, port)) + +Run:: + + nstatuser@nstat-a:~$ python3 -i client_coalesce.py + +We use '-i' to come into the interactive mode, then a packet:: + + >>> s.send(b'foo') + 3 + +Send a packet again:: + + >>> s.send(b'bar') + 3 + +On the server, run nstat:: + + ubuntu@nstat-b:~$ nstat + #kernel + IpInReceives 2 0.0 + IpInDelivers 2 0.0 + IpOutRequests 2 0.0 + TcpInSegs 2 0.0 + TcpOutSegs 2 0.0 + TcpExtTCPRcvCoalesce 1 0.0 + IpExtInOctets 110 0.0 + IpExtOutOctets 104 0.0 + IpExtInNoECTPkts 2 0.0 + +The client sent two packets, server didn't read any data.

Introduction +--------------- + +With the introduction of Intel Device Specific Methods (DSM) v1.8 +specification [1], security DSMs are introduced. The spec added the following +security DSMs: "get security state", "set passphrase", "disable passphrase", +"unlock unit", "freeze lock", "secure erase", and "overwrite". A security_ops +data structure has been added to struct dimm in order to support the security +operations and generic APIs are exposed to allow vendor neutral operations. + +2. Sysfs Interface +------------------ +The "security" sysfs attribute is provided in the nvdimm sysfs directory. For +example: +/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/nmem0/security + +The "show" attribute of that attribute will display the security state for +that DIMM. The following states are available: disabled, unlocked, locked, +frozen, and overwrite. If security is not supported, the sysfs attribute +will not be visible. + +The "store" attribute takes several commands when it is being written to +in order to support some of the security functionalities: +update <old_keyid> <new_keyid> - enable or update passphrase. +disable <keyid> - disable enabled security and remove key. +freeze - freeze changing of security states. +erase <keyid> - delete existing user encryption key. +overwrite <keyid> - wipe the entire nvdimm. +master_update <keyid> <new_keyid> - enable or update master passphrase. +master_erase <keyid> - delete existing user encryption key. + +3. Key Management +----------------- + +The key is associated to the payload by the DIMM id. For example: +# cat /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/nmem0/nfit/id +8089-a2-1740-00000133 +The DIMM id would be provided along with the key payload (passphrase) to +the kernel. + +The security keys are managed on the basis of a single key per DIMM. The +key "passphrase" is expected to be 32bytes long. This is similar to the ATA +security specification [2]. A key is initially acquired via the request_key() +kernel API call during nvdimm unlock. It is up to the user to make sure that +all the keys are in the kernel user keyring for unlock. + +A nvdimm encrypted-key of format enc32 has the description format of: +nvdimm:<bus-provider-specific-unique-id> + +See file ``Documentation/security/keys/trusted-encrypted.rst`` for creating +encrypted-keys of enc32 format. TPM usage with a master trusted key is +preferred for sealing the encrypted-keys. + +4. Unlocking +------------ +When the DIMMs are being enumerated by the kernel, the kernel will attempt to +retrieve the key from the kernel user keyring. This is the only time +a locked DIMM can be unlocked. Once unlocked, the DIMM will remain unlocked +until reboot. Typically an entity (i.e. shell script) will inject all the +relevant encrypted-keys into the kernel user keyring during the initramfs phase. +This provides the unlock function access to all the related keys that contain +the passphrase for the respective nvdimms. It is also recommended that the +keys are injected before libnvdimm is loaded by modprobe. + +5. Update +--------- +When doing an update, it is expected that the existing key is removed from +the kernel user keyring and reinjected as different (old) key. It's irrelevant +what the key description is for the old key since we are only interested in the +keyid when doing the update operation. It is also expected that the new key +is injected with the description format described from earlier in this +document. The update command written to the sysfs attribute will be with +the format: +update <old keyid> <new keyid> + +If there is no old keyid due to a security enabling, then a 0 should be +passed in. + +6. Freeze +--------- +The freeze operation does not require any keys. The security config can be +frozen by a user with root privelege. + +7. Disable +---------- +The security disable command format is: +disable <keyid> + +An key with the current passphrase payload that is tied to the nvdimm should be +in the kernel user keyring. + +8. Secure Erase +--------------- +The command format for doing a secure erase is: +erase <keyid> + +An key with the current passphrase payload that is tied to the nvdimm should be +in the kernel user keyring. + +9. Overwrite +------------ +The command format for doing an overwrite is: +overwrite <keyid> + +Overwrite can be done without a key if security is not enabled. A key serial +of 0 can be passed in to indicate no key. + +The sysfs attribute "security" can be polled to wait on overwrite completion. +Overwrite can last tens of minutes or more depending on nvdimm size. + +An encrypted-key with the current user passphrase that is tied to the nvdimm +should be injected and its keyid should be passed in via sysfs. + +10. Master Update +----------------- +The command format for doing a master update is: +update <old keyid> <new keyid> + +The operating mechanism for master update is identical to update except the +master passphrase key is passed to the kernel. The master passphrase key +is just another encrypted-key. + +This command is only available when security is disabled. + +11. Master Erase +---------------- +The command format for doing a master erase is: +master_erase <current keyid> + +This command has the same operating mechanism as erase except the master +passphrase key is passed to the kernel. The master passphrase key is just +another encrypted-key. + +This command is only available when the master security is enabled, indicated +by the extended security status. + +[1]: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface-V1.8.pdf +[2]: http://www.t13.org/documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2006/e05179r4-ACS-SecurityClarifications.pdf diff --git a/Documentation/perf/thunderx2-pmu.txt b/Documentation/perf/thunderx2-pmu.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..dffc57143736 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/perf/thunderx2-pmu.txt @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +Cavium ThunderX2 SoC Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU UNCORE) +============================================================= + +The ThunderX2 SoC PMU consists of independent, system-wide, per-socket +PMUs such as the Level 3 Cache (L3C) and DDR4 Memory Controller (DMC). + +The DMC has 8 interleaved channels and the L3C has 16 interleaved tiles. +Events are counted for the default channel (i.e. channel 0) and prorated +to the total number of channels/tiles. + +The DMC and L3C support up to 4 counters.

Ci sono molte ragioni per le quali del codice +per il kernel debba essere incorporato nel kernel ufficiale, fra le quali: +disponibilità immediata agli utilizzatori, supporto della comunità in +differenti modalità, e la capacità di influenzare la direzione dello sviluppo +del kernel. +Il codice che contribuisce al kernel Linux deve essere reso disponibile sotto +una licenza GPL-compatibile. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_process` introduce il processo di sviluppo, +il ciclo di rilascio del kernel, ed i meccanismi della finestra +d'incorporazione. Il capitolo copre le varie fasi di una modifica: sviluppo, +revisione e ciclo d'incorporazione. Ci sono alcuni dibattiti su strumenti e +liste di discussione. Gli sviluppatori che sono in attesa di poter sviluppare +qualcosa per il kernel sono invitati ad individuare e sistemare bachi come +esercizio iniziale. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_early_stage` copre i primi stadi della +pianificazione di un progetto di sviluppo, con particolare enfasi sul +coinvolgimento della comunità, il prima possibile. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_coding` riguarda il processo di scrittura +del codice. Qui, sono esposte le diverse insidie che sono state già affrontate +da altri sviluppatori. Il capitolo copre anche alcuni dei requisiti per le +modifiche, ed esiste un'introduzione ad alcuni strumenti che possono aiutarvi +nell'assicurarvi che le modifiche per il kernel siano corrette. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_posting` parla del processo di pubblicazione +delle modifiche per la revisione. Per essere prese in considerazione dalla +comunità di sviluppo, le modifiche devono essere propriamente formattate ed +esposte, e devono essere inviate nel posto giusto.

Lavorare con i revisori è una parte cruciale del +processo di sviluppo; questa sezione offre una serie di consigli su come +evitare problemi in questa importante fase. Gli sviluppatori sono diffidenti +nell'affermare che il lavoro è concluso quando una modifica è incorporata nei +sorgenti principali. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_advancedtopics` introduce un paio di argomenti +"avanzati": gestire le modifiche con git e controllare le modifiche pubblicate +da altri. + +La sezione :ref:`it_development_conclusion` chiude il documento con dei +riferimenti ad altre fonti che forniscono ulteriori informazioni sullo sviluppo +del kernel. + +Di cosa parla questo documento +------------------------------ + +Il kernel Linux, ha oltre 8 milioni di linee di codice e ben oltre 1000 +contributori ad ogni rilascio; è uno dei più vasti e più attivi software +liberi progettati mai esistiti. Sin dal sul modesto inizio nel 1991, +questo kernel si è evoluto nel miglior componente per sistemi operativi +che fanno funzionare piccoli riproduttori musicali, PC, grandi super computer +e tutte le altre tipologie di sistemi fra questi estremi. È una soluzione +robusta, efficiente ed adattabile a praticamente qualsiasi situazione. + +Con la crescita di Linux è arrivato anche un aumento di sviluppatori +(ed aziende) desiderosi di partecipare a questo sviluppo. I produttori di +hardware vogliono assicurarsi che il loro prodotti siano supportati da Linux, +rendendo questi prodotti attrattivi agli utenti Linux. I produttori di +sistemi integrati, che usano Linux come componente di un prodotto integrato, +vogliono che Linux sia capace ed adeguato agli obiettivi ed il più possibile +alla mano. Fornitori ed altri produttori di software che basano i propri +prodotti su Linux hanno un chiaro interesse verso capacità, prestazioni ed +affidabilità del kernel Linux. E gli utenti finali, anche, spesso vorrebbero +cambiare Linux per renderlo più aderente alle proprie necessità. + +Una delle caratteristiche più coinvolgenti di Linux è quella dell'accessibilità +per gli sviluppatori; chiunque con le capacità richieste può migliorare +Linux ed influenzarne la direzione di sviluppo. Prodotti non open-source non +possono offrire questo tipo di apertura, che è una caratteristica del software +libero. Ma, anzi, il kernel è persino più aperto rispetto a molti altri +progetti di software libero. Un classico ciclo di sviluppo trimestrale può +coinvolgere 1000 sviluppatori che lavorano per più di 100 differenti aziende +(o per nessuna azienda). + +Lavorare con la comunità di sviluppo del kernel non è particolarmente +difficile. Ma, ciononostante, diversi potenziali contributori hanno trovato +delle difficoltà quando hanno cercato di lavorare sul kernel. La comunità del +kernel utilizza un proprio modo di operare che gli permette di funzionare +agevolmente (e genera un prodotto di alta qualità) in un ambiente dove migliaia +di stringhe di codice sono modificate ogni giorni. Quindi non deve sorprendere +che il processo di sviluppo del kernel differisca notevolmente dai metodi di +sviluppo privati. + +Il processo di sviluppo del Kernel può, dall'altro lato, risultare +intimidatorio e strano ai nuovi sviluppatori, ma ha dietro di se buone ragioni +e solide esperienze. Uno sviluppatore che non comprende i modi della comunità +del kernel (o, peggio, che cerchi di aggirarli o violarli) avrà un'esperienza +deludente nel proprio bagaglio. La comunità di sviluppo, sebbene sia utile +a coloro che cercano di imparare, ha poco tempo da dedicare a coloro che non +ascoltano o coloro che non sono interessati al processo di sviluppo. + +Si spera che coloro che leggono questo documento saranno in grado di evitare +queste esperienze spiacevoli. C'è molto materiale qui, ma lo sforzo della +lettura sarà ripagato in breve tempo. La comunità di sviluppo ha sempre +bisogno di sviluppatori che vogliano aiutare a rendere il kernel migliore; +il testo seguente potrebbe esservi d'aiuto - o essere d'aiuto ai vostri +collaboratori- per entrare a far parte della nostra comunità. + +Crediti +------- + +Questo documento è stato scritto da Jonathan Corbet, corbet@lwn.net. +È stato migliorato da Johannes Berg, James Berry, Alex Chiang, Roland +Dreier, Randy Dunlap, Jake Edge, Jiri Kosina, Matt Mackall, Arthur Marsh, +Amanda McPherson, Andrew Morton, Andrew Price, Tsugikazu Shibata e Jochen Voß. + +Questo lavoro è stato supportato dalla Linux Foundation; un ringraziamento +speciale ad Amanda McPherson, che ha visto il valore di questo lavoro e lo ha +reso possibile. + +L'importanza d'avere il codice nei sorgenti principali +------------------------------------------------------ + +Alcune aziende e sviluppatori ogni tanto si domandano perché dovrebbero +preoccuparsi di apprendere come lavorare con la comunità del kernel e di +inserire il loro codice nel ramo di sviluppo principale (per ramo principale +s'intende quello mantenuto da Linus Torvalds e usato come base dai +distributori Linux). Nel breve termine, contribuire al codice può sembrare +un costo inutile; può sembra più facile tenere separato il proprio codice e +supportare direttamente i suoi utilizzatori. La verità è che il tenere il +codice separato ("fuori dai sorgenti", *"out-of-tree"*) è un falso risparmio. + +Per dimostrare i costi di un codice "fuori dai sorgenti", eccovi +alcuni aspetti rilevanti del processo di sviluppo kernel; la maggior parte +di essi saranno approfonditi dettagliatamente più avanti in questo documento. +Considerate: + +- Il codice che è stato inserito nel ramo principale del kernel è disponibile + a tutti gli utilizzatori Linux. Sarà automaticamente presente in tutte le + distribuzioni che lo consentono. Non c'è bisogno di: driver per dischi, + scaricare file, o della scocciatura del dover supportare diverse versioni di + diverse distribuzioni; funziona già tutto, per gli sviluppatori e per gli + utilizzatori. L'inserimento nel ramo principale risolve un gran numero di + problemi di distribuzione e di supporto. + +- Nonostante gli sviluppatori kernel si sforzino di tenere stabile + l'interfaccia dello spazio utente, quella interna al kernel è in continuo + cambiamento. La mancanza di un'interfaccia interna è deliberatamente una + decisione di progettazione; ciò permette che i miglioramenti fondamentali + vengano fatti in un qualsiasi momento e che risultino fatti con un codice di + alta qualità. Ma una delle conseguenze di questa politica è che qualsiasi + codice "fuori dai sorgenti" richiede costante manutenzione per renderlo + funzionante coi kernel più recenti. Tenere un codice "fuori dai sorgenti" + richiede una mole di lavoro significativa solo per farlo funzionare. + + Invece, il codice che si trova nel ramo principale non necessita di questo + tipo di lavoro poiché ad ogni sviluppatore che faccia una modifica alle + interfacce viene richiesto di sistemare anche il codice che utilizza + quell'interfaccia. Quindi, il codice che è stato inserito nel ramo principale + ha dei costi di mantenimento significativamente più bassi. + +- Oltre a ciò, spesso il codice che è all'interno del kernel sarà migliorato da + altri sviluppatori. Dare pieni poteri alla vostra comunità di utenti e ai + clienti può portare a sorprendenti risultati che migliorano i vostri + prodotti. + +- Il codice kernel è soggetto a revisioni, sia prima che dopo l'inserimento + nel ramo principale. Non importa quanto forti fossero le abilità dello + sviluppatore originale, il processo di revisione troverà il modo di migliore + il codice. Spesso la revisione trova bachi importanti e problemi di + sicurezza. Questo è particolarmente vero per il codice che è stato + sviluppato in un ambiente chiuso; tale codice ottiene un forte beneficio + dalle revisioni provenienti da sviluppatori esteri. Il codice + "fuori dai sorgenti", invece, è un codice di bassa qualità. + +- La partecipazione al processo di sviluppo costituisce la vostra via per + influenzare la direzione di sviluppo del kernel. Gli utilizzatori che + "reclamano da bordo campo" sono ascoltati, ma gli sviluppatori attivi + hanno una voce più forte - e la capacità di implementare modifiche che + renderanno il kernel più funzionale alle loro necessità. + +- Quando il codice è gestito separatamente, esiste sempre la possibilità che + terze parti contribuiscano con una differente implementazione che fornisce + le stesse funzionalità. Se dovesse accadere, l'inserimento del codice + diventerà molto più difficile - fino all'impossibilità. Poi, dovrete far + fronte a delle alternative poco piacevoli, come: (1) mantenere un elemento + non standard "fuori dai sorgenti" per un tempo indefinito, o (2) abbandonare + il codice e far migrare i vostri utenti alla versione "nei sorgenti". + +- Contribuire al codice è l'azione fondamentale che fa funzionare tutto il + processo. Contribuendo attraverso il vostro codice potete aggiungere nuove + funzioni al kernel e fornire competenze ed esempi che saranno utili ad + altri sviluppatori. Se avete sviluppato del codice Linux (o state pensando + di farlo), avete chiaramente interesse nel far proseguire il successo di + questa piattaforma. Contribuire al codice è une delle migliori vie per + aiutarne il successo. + +Il ragionamento sopra citato si applica ad ogni codice "fuori dai sorgenti" +dal kernel, incluso il codice proprietario distribuito solamente in formato +binario. Ci sono, comunque, dei fattori aggiuntivi che dovrebbero essere +tenuti in conto prima di prendere in considerazione qualsiasi tipo di +distribuzione binaria di codice kernel. Questo include che: + +- Le questioni legali legate alla distribuzione di moduli kernel proprietari + sono molto nebbiose; parecchi detentori di copyright sul kernel credono che + molti moduli binari siano prodotti derivati del kernel e che, come risultato, + la loro diffusione sia una violazione della licenza generale di GNU (della + quale si parlerà più avanti). L'autore qui non è un avvocato, e + niente in questo documento può essere considerato come un consiglio legale. + Il vero stato legale dei moduli proprietari può essere determinato + esclusivamente da un giudice. Ma l'incertezza che perseguita quei moduli + è lì comunque. + +- I moduli binari aumentano di molto la difficoltà di fare debugging del + kernel, al punto che la maggior parte degli sviluppatori del kernel non + vorranno nemmeno tentare. Quindi la diffusione di moduli esclusivamente + binari renderà difficile ai vostri utilizzatori trovare un supporto dalla + comunità. + +- Il supporto è anche difficile per i distributori di moduli binari che devono + fornire una versione del modulo per ogni distribuzione e per ogni versione + del kernel che vogliono supportate. Per fornire una copertura ragionevole e + comprensiva, può essere richiesto di produrre dozzine di singoli moduli. + E inoltre i vostri utilizzatori dovranno aggiornare il vostro modulo + separatamente ogni volta che aggiornano il loro kernel. + +- Tutto ciò che è stato detto prima riguardo alla revisione del codice si + applica doppiamente al codice proprietario. Dato che questo codice non è + del tutto disponibile, non può essere revisionato dalla comunità e avrà, + senza dubbio, seri problemi. + +I produttori di sistemi integrati, in particolare, potrebbero esser tentati +dall'evitare molto di ciò che è stato detto in questa sezione, credendo che +stiano distribuendo un prodotto finito che utilizza una versione del kernel +immutabile e che non richiede un ulteriore sviluppo dopo il rilascio. Questa +idea non comprende il valore di una vasta revisione del codice e il valore +del permettere ai propri utenti di aggiungere funzionalità al vostro prodotto. +Ma anche questi prodotti, hanno una vita commerciale limitata, dopo la quale +deve essere rilasciata una nuova versione. A quel punto, i produttori il cui +codice è nel ramo principale di sviluppo avranno un codice ben mantenuto e +saranno in una posizione migliore per ottenere velocemente un nuovo prodotto +pronto per essere distribuito. + + +Licenza +------- + +IL codice Linux utilizza diverse licenze, ma il codice completo deve essere +compatibile con la seconda versione della licenza GNU General Public License +(GPLv2), che è la licenza che copre la distribuzione del kernel. +Nella pratica, ciò significa che tutti i contributi al codice sono coperti +anche'essi dalla GPLv2 (con, opzionalmente, una dicitura che permette la +possibilità di distribuirlo con licenze più recenti di GPL) o dalla licenza +three-clause BSD. Qualsiasi contributo che non è coperto da una licenza +compatibile non verrà accettata nel kernel. + +Per il codice sottomesso al kernel non è necessario (o richiesto) la +concessione del Copyright. Tutto il codice inserito nel ramo principale del +kernel conserva la sua proprietà originale; ne risulta che ora il kernel abbia +migliaia di proprietari. + +Una conseguenza di questa organizzazione della proprietà è che qualsiasi +tentativo di modifica della licenza del kernel è destinata ad un quasi sicuro +fallimento. Esistono alcuni scenari pratici nei quali il consenso di tutti +i detentori di copyright può essere ottenuto (o il loro codice verrà rimosso +dal kernel). Quindi, in sostanza, non esiste la possibilità che si giunga ad +una versione 3 della licenza GPL nel prossimo futuro. + +È imperativo che tutto il codice che contribuisce al kernel sia legittimamente +software libero. Per questa ragione, un codice proveniente da un contributore +anonimo (o sotto pseudonimo) non verrà accettato. È richiesto a tutti i +contributori di firmare il proprio codice, attestando così che quest'ultimo +può essere distribuito insieme al kernel sotto la licenza GPL. Il codice che +non è stato licenziato come software libero dal proprio creatore, o che +potrebbe creare problemi di copyright per il kernel (come il codice derivante +da processi di ingegneria inversa senza le opportune tutele), non può essere +diffuso. + +Domande relative a questioni legate al copyright sono frequenti nelle liste +di discussione dedicate allo sviluppo di Linux. Tali quesiti, normalmente, +non riceveranno alcuna risposta, ma una cosa deve essere tenuta presente: +le persone che risponderanno a quelle domande non sono avvocati e non possono +fornire supporti legali. Se avete questioni legali relative ai sorgenti +del codice Linux, non esiste alternativa che quella di parlare con un +avvocato esperto nel settore. Fare affidamento sulle risposte ottenute da +una lista di discussione tecnica è rischioso. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/2.Process.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/2.Process.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..9af4d01617c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/2.Process.rst @@ -0,0 +1,531 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/2.Process.rst <development_process>` +:Translator: Alessia Mantegazza <amantegazza@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_process: + +Come funziona il processo di sviluppo +===================================== + +Lo sviluppo del Kernel agli inizi degli anno '90 era abbastanza libero, con +un numero di utenti e sviluppatori relativamente basso. Con una base +di milioni di utenti e con 2000 sviluppatori coinvolti nel giro di un anno, +il kernel da allora ha messo in atto un certo numero di procedure per rendere +lo sviluppo più agevole. È richiesta una solida conoscenza di come tale +processo si svolge per poter esserne parte attiva. + +Il quadro d'insieme +------------------- + +Gli sviluppatori kernel utilizzano un calendario di rilascio generico, dove +ogni due o tre mesi viene effettuata un rilascio importante del kernel. +I rilasci più recenti sono stati: + + ====== ================= + 4.11 Aprile 30, 2017 + 4.12 Luglio 2, 2017 + 4.13 Settembre 3, 2017 + 4.14 Novembre 12, 2017 + 4.15 Gennaio 28, 2018 + 4.16 Aprile 1, 2018 + ====== ================= + +Ciascun rilascio 4.x è un importante rilascio del kernel con nuove +funzionalità, modifiche interne dell'API, e molto altro. Un tipico +rilascio 4.x contiene quasi 13,000 gruppi di modifiche con ulteriori +modifiche a parecchie migliaia di linee di codice. La 4.x. è pertanto la +linea di confine nello sviluppo del kernel Linux; il kernel utilizza un sistema +di sviluppo continuo che integra costantemente nuove importanti modifiche. + +Viene seguita una disciplina abbastanza lineare per l'inclusione delle +patch di ogni rilascio. All'inizio di ogni ciclo di sviluppo, la +"finestra di inclusione" viene dichiarata aperta. In quel momento il codice +ritenuto sufficientemente stabile(e che è accettato dalla comunità di sviluppo) +viene incluso nel ramo principale del kernel. La maggior parte delle +patch per un nuovo ciclo di sviluppo (e tutte le più importanti modifiche) +saranno inserite durante questo periodo, ad un ritmo che si attesta sulle +1000 modifiche ("patch" o "gruppo di modifiche") al giorno. + +(per inciso, vale la pena notare che i cambiamenti integrati durante la +"finestra di inclusione" non escono dal nulla; questi infatti, sono stati +raccolti e, verificati in anticipo. Il funzionamento di tale procedimento +verrà descritto dettagliatamente più avanti). + +La finestra di inclusione resta attiva approssimativamente per due settimane. +Al termine di questo periodo, Linus Torvald dichiarerà che la finestra è +chiusa e rilascerà il primo degli "rc" del kernel. +Per il kernel che è destinato ad essere 2.6.40, per esempio, il rilascio +che emerge al termine della finestra d'inclusione si chiamerà 2.6.40-rc1. +Questo rilascio indica che il momento di aggiungere nuovi componenti è +passato, e che è iniziato il periodo di stabilizzazione del prossimo kernel. + +Nelle successive sei/dieci settimane, potranno essere sottoposte solo modifiche +che vanno a risolvere delle problematiche. Occasionalmente potrà essere +consentita una modifica più consistente, ma tali occasioni sono rare. +Gli sviluppatori che tenteranno di aggiungere nuovi elementi al di fuori della +finestra di inclusione, tendenzialmente, riceveranno un accoglienza poco +amichevole. Come regola generale: se vi perdete la finestra di inclusione per +un dato componente, la cosa migliore da fare è aspettare il ciclo di sviluppo +successivo (un'eccezione può essere fatta per i driver per hardware non +supportati in precedenza; se toccano codice non facente parte di quello +attuale, che non causino regressioni e che potrebbero essere aggiunti in +sicurezza in un qualsiasi momento) + +Mentre le correzioni si aprono la loro strada all'interno del ramo principale, +il ritmo delle modifiche rallenta col tempo. Linus rilascia un nuovo +kernel -rc circa una volta alla settimana; e ne usciranno circa 6 o 9 prima +che il kernel venga considerato sufficientemente stabile e che il rilascio +finale 2.6.x venga fatto. A quel punto tutto il processo ricomincerà. + +Esempio: ecco com'è andato il ciclo di sviluppo della versione 4.16 +(tutte le date si collocano nel 2018) + + + ============== ======================================= + Gennaio 28 4.15 rilascio stabile + Febbraio 11 4.16-rc1, finestra di inclusione chiusa + Febbraio 18 4.16-rc2 + Febbraio 25 4.16-rc3 + Marzo 4 4.16-rc4 + Marzo 11 4.16-rc5 + Marzo 18 4.16-rc6 + Marzo 25 4.16-rc7 + Aprile 1 4.17 rilascio stabile + ============== ======================================= + +In che modo gli sviluppatori decidono quando chiudere il ciclo di sviluppo e +creare quindi una rilascio stabile? Un metro valido è il numero di regressioni +rilevate nel precedente rilascio. Nessun baco è il benvenuto, ma quelli che +procurano problemi su sistemi che hanno funzionato in passato sono considerati +particolarmente seri. Per questa ragione, le modifiche che portano ad una +regressione sono viste sfavorevolmente e verranno quasi sicuramente annullate +durante il periodo di stabilizzazione. + +L'obiettivo degli sviluppatori è quello di aggiustare tutte le regressioni +conosciute prima che avvenga il rilascio stabile. Nel mondo reale, questo +tipo di perfezione difficilmente viene raggiunta; esistono troppe variabili +in un progetto di questa portata. Arriva un punto dove ritardare il rilascio +finale peggiora la situazione; la quantità di modifiche in attesa della +prossima finestra di inclusione crescerà enormemente, creando ancor più +regressioni al giro successivo. Quindi molti kernel 4.x escono con una +manciata di regressioni delle quali, si spera, nessuna è grave. + +Una volta che un rilascio stabile è fatto, il suo costante mantenimento è +affidato al "squadra stabilità", attualmente composta da Greg Kroah-Hartman. +Questa squadra rilascia occasionalmente degli aggiornamenti relativi al +rilascio stabile usando la numerazione 4.x.y. Per essere presa in +considerazione per un rilascio d'aggiornamento, una modifica deve: +(1) correggere un baco importante (2) essere già inserita nel ramo principale +per il prossimo sviluppo del kernel. Solitamente, passato il loro rilascio +iniziale, i kernel ricevono aggiornamenti per più di un ciclo di sviluppo. +Quindi, per esempio, la storia del kernel 4.13 appare così: + + ============== =============================== + Settembre 3 4.13 rilascio stabile + Settembre 13 4.13.1 + Settembre 20 4.13.2 + Settembre 27 4.13.3 + Ottobre 5 4.13.4 + Ottobre 12 4.13.5 + ... ... + Novembre 24 4.13.16 + ============== =============================== + +La 4.13.16 fu l'aggiornamento finale per la versione 4.13. + +Alcuni kernel sono destinati ad essere kernel a "lungo termine"; questi +riceveranno assistenza per un lungo periodo di tempo. Al momento in cui +scriviamo, i manutentori dei kernel stabili a lungo termine sono: + + ====== ====================== ========================================== + 3.16 Ben Hutchings (kernel stabile molto più a lungo termine) + 4.1 Sasha Levin + 4.4 Greg Kroah-Hartman (kernel stabile molto più a lungo termine) + 4.9 Greg Kroah-Hartman + 4.14 Greg Kroah-Hartman + ====== ====================== ========================================== + + +Questa selezione di kernel di lungo periodo sono puramente dovuti ai loro +manutentori, alla loro necessità e al tempo per tenere aggiornate proprio +quelle versioni. Non ci sono altri kernel a lungo termine in programma per +alcun rilascio in arrivo. + +Il ciclo di vita di una patch +----------------------------- + +Le patch non passano direttamente dalla tastiera dello sviluppatori +al ramo principale del kernel. Esiste, invece, una procedura disegnata +per assicurare che ogni patch sia di buona qualità e desiderata nel +ramo principale. Questo processo avviene velocemente per le correzioni +meno importanti, o, nel caso di patch ampie e controverse, va avanti per anni. +Per uno sviluppatore la maggior frustrazione viene dalla mancanza di +comprensione di questo processo o dai tentativi di aggirarlo. + +Nella speranza di ridurre questa frustrazione, questo documento spiegherà +come una patch viene inserita nel kernel. Ciò che segue è un'introduzione +che descrive il processo ideale. Approfondimenti verranno invece trattati +più avanti. + +Una patch attraversa, generalmente, le seguenti fasi: + + - Progetto. In questa fase sono stabilite quelli che sono i requisiti + della modifica - e come verranno soddisfatti. Il lavoro di progettazione + viene spesso svolto senza coinvolgere la comunità, ma è meglio renderlo + il più aperto possibile; questo può far risparmiare molto tempo evitando + eventuali riprogettazioni successive. + + - Prima revisione. Le patch vengono pubblicate sulle liste di discussione + interessate, e gli sviluppatori in quella lista risponderanno coi loro + commenti. Se si svolge correttamente, questo procedimento potrebbe far + emergere problemi rilevanti in una patch. + + - Revisione più ampia. Quando la patch è quasi pronta per essere inserita + nel ramo principale, un manutentore importante del sottosistema dovrebbe + accettarla - anche se, questa accettazione non è una garanzia che la + patch arriverà nel ramo principale. La patch sarà visibile nei sorgenti + del sottosistema in questione e nei sorgenti -next (descritti sotto). + Quando il processo va a buon fine, questo passo porta ad una revisione + più estesa della patch e alla scoperta di problemi d'integrazione + con il lavoro altrui. + +- Per favore, tenete da conto che la maggior parte dei manutentori ha + anche un lavoro quotidiano, quindi integrare le vostre patch potrebbe + non essere la loro priorità più alta. Se una vostra patch riceve + dei suggerimenti su dei cambiamenti necessari, dovreste applicare + quei cambiamenti o giustificare perché non sono necessari. Se la vostra + patch non riceve alcuna critica ma non è stata integrata dal + manutentore del driver o sottosistema, allora dovreste continuare con + i necessari aggiornamenti per mantenere la patch aggiornata al kernel + più recente cosicché questa possa integrarsi senza problemi; continuate + ad inviare gli aggiornamenti per essere revisionati e integrati. + + - Inclusione nel ramo principale. Eventualmente, una buona patch verrà + inserita all'interno nel repositorio principale, gestito da + Linus Torvalds. In questa fase potrebbero emergere nuovi problemi e/o + commenti; è importante che lo sviluppatore sia collaborativo e che sistemi + ogni questione che possa emergere. + + - Rilascio stabile. Ora, il numero di utilizzatori che sono potenzialmente + toccati dalla patch è aumentato, quindi, ancora una volta, potrebbero + emergere nuovi problemi. + + - Manutenzione di lungo periodo. Nonostante sia possibile che uno sviluppatore + si dimentichi del codice dopo la sua integrazione, questo comportamento + lascia una brutta impressione nella comunità di sviluppo. Integrare il + codice elimina alcuni degli oneri facenti parte della manutenzione, in + particolare, sistemerà le problematiche causate dalle modifiche all'API. + Ma lo sviluppatore originario dovrebbe continuare ad assumersi la + responsabilità per il codice se quest'ultimo continua ad essere utile + nel lungo periodo. + +Uno dei più grandi errori fatti dagli sviluppatori kernel (o dai loro datori +di lavoro) è quello di cercare di ridurre tutta la procedura ad una singola +"integrazione nel remo principale". Questo approccio inevitabilmente conduce +a una condizione di frustrazione per tutti coloro che sono coinvolti. + +Come le modifiche finiscono nel Kernel +-------------------------------------- + +Esiste una sola persona che può inserire le patch nel repositorio principale +del kernel: Linus Torvalds. Ma, di tutte le 9500 patch che entrarono nella +versione 2.6.38 del kernel, solo 112 (circa l'1,3%) furono scelte direttamente +da Linus in persona. Il progetto del kernel è cresciuto fino a raggiungere +una dimensione tale per cui un singolo sviluppatore non può controllare e +selezionare indipendentemente ogni modifica senza essere supportato. +La via scelta dagli sviluppatori per indirizzare tale crescita è stata quella +di utilizzare un sistema di "sottotenenti" basato sulla fiducia. + +Il codice base del kernel è spezzato in una serie si sottosistemi: rete, +supporto per specifiche architetture, gestione della memoria, video e +strumenti, etc. Molti sottosistemi hanno un manutentore designato: ovvero uno +sviluppatore che ha piena responsabilità di tutto il codice presente in quel +sottosistema. Tali manutentori di sottosistema sono i guardiani +(in un certo senso) della parte di kernel che gestiscono; sono coloro che +(solitamente) accetteranno una patch per l'inclusione nel ramo principale +del kernel. + +I manutentori di sottosistema gestiscono ciascuno la propria parte dei sorgenti +del kernel, utilizzando abitualmente (ma certamente non sempre) git. +Strumenti come git (e affini come quilt o mercurial) permettono ai manutentori +di stilare una lista delle patch, includendo informazioni sull'autore ed +altri metadati. In ogni momento, il manutentore può individuare quale patch +nel sua repositorio non si trova nel ramo principale. + +Quando la "finestra di integrazione" si apre, i manutentori di alto livello +chiederanno a Linus di "prendere" dai loro repositori le modifiche che hanno +selezionato per l'inclusione. Se Linus acconsente, il flusso di patch si +convoglierà nel repositorio di quest ultimo, divenendo così parte del ramo +principale del kernel. La quantità d'attenzione che Linus presta alle +singole patch ricevute durante l'operazione di integrazione varia. +È chiaro che, qualche volta, guardi più attentamente. Ma, come regola +generale, Linus confida nel fatto che i manutentori di sottosistema non +selezionino pessime patch. + +I manutentori di sottosistemi, a turno, possono "prendere" patch +provenienti da altri manutentori. Per esempio, i sorgenti per la rete rete +sono costruiti da modifiche che si sono accumulate inizialmente nei sorgenti +dedicati ai driver per dispositivi di rete, rete senza fili, ecc. Tale +catena di repositori può essere più o meno lunga, benché raramente ecceda +i due o tre collegamenti. Questo processo è conosciuto come +"la catena della fiducia", perché ogni manutentore all'interno della +catena si fida di coloro che gestiscono i livelli più bassi. + +Chiaramente, in un sistema come questo, l'inserimento delle patch all'interno +del kernel si basa sul trovare il manutentore giusto. Di norma, inviare +patch direttamente a Linus non è la via giusta. + + +Sorgenti -next +-------------- + +La catena di sottosistemi guida il flusso di patch all'interno del kernel, +ma solleva anche un interessante quesito: se qualcuno volesse vedere tutte le +patch pronte per la prossima finestra di integrazione? +Gli sviluppatori si interesseranno alle patch in sospeso per verificare +che non ci siano altri conflitti di cui preoccuparsi; una modifica che, per +esempio, cambia il prototipo di una funzione fondamentale del kernel andrà in +conflitto con qualsiasi altra modifica che utilizzi la vecchia versione di +quella funzione. Revisori e tester vogliono invece avere accesso alle +modifiche nella loro totalità prima che approdino nel ramo principale del +kernel. Uno potrebbe prendere le patch provenienti da tutti i sottosistemi +d'interesse, ma questo sarebbe un lavoro enorme e fallace. + +La risposta ci viene sotto forma di sorgenti -next, dove i sottosistemi sono +raccolti per essere testati e controllati. Il più vecchio di questi sorgenti, +gestito da Andrew Morton, è chiamato "-mm" (memory management, che è l'inizio +di tutto). L'-mm integra patch proveniente da una lunga lista di sottosistemi; +e ha, inoltre, alcune patch destinate al supporto del debugging. + +Oltre a questo, -mm contiene una raccolta significativa di patch che sono +state selezionate da Andrew direttamente. Queste patch potrebbero essere +state inviate in una lista di discussione, o possono essere applicate ad una +parte del kernel per la quale non esiste un sottosistema dedicato. +Di conseguenza, -mm opera come una specie di sottosistema "ultima spiaggia"; +se per una patch non esiste una via chiara per entrare nel ramo principale, +allora è probabile che finirà in -mm. Le patch passate per -mm +eventualmente finiranno nel sottosistema più appropriato o saranno inviate +direttamente a Linus. In un tipico ciclo di sviluppo, circa il 5-10% delle +patch andrà nel ramo principale attraverso -mm. + +La patch -mm correnti sono disponibili nella cartella "mmotm" (-mm of +the moment) all'indirizzo: + + http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/ + +È molto probabile che l'uso dei sorgenti MMOTM diventi un'esperienza +frustrante; ci sono buone probabilità che non compili nemmeno. + +I sorgenti principali per il prossimo ciclo d'integrazione delle patch +è linux-next, gestito da Stephen Rothwell. I sorgenti linux-next sono, per +definizione, un'istantanea di come dovrà apparire il ramo principale dopo che +la prossima finestra di inclusione si chiuderà. I linux-next sono annunciati +sulla lista di discussione linux-kernel e linux-next nel momento in cui +vengono assemblati; e possono essere scaricate da: + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/next/ + +Linux-next è divenuto parte integrante del processo di sviluppo del kernel; +tutte le patch incorporate durante una finestra di integrazione dovrebbero +aver trovato la propria strada in linux-next, a volte anche prima dell'apertura +della finestra di integrazione. + + +Sorgenti in preparazione +------------------------ + +Nei sorgenti del kernel esiste la cartella drivers/staging/, dove risiedono +molte sotto-cartelle per i driver o i filesystem che stanno per essere aggiunti +al kernel. Questi restano nella cartella drivers/staging fintanto che avranno +bisogno di maggior lavoro; una volta completato, possono essere spostate +all'interno del kernel nel posto più appropriato. Questo è il modo di tener +traccia dei driver che non sono ancora in linea con gli standard di codifica +o qualità, ma che le persone potrebbero voler usare ugualmente e tracciarne +lo sviluppo. + +Greg Kroah-Hartman attualmente gestisce i sorgenti in preparazione. I driver +che non sono completamente pronti vengono inviati a lui, e ciascun driver avrà +la propria sotto-cartella in drivers/staging/. Assieme ai file sorgenti +dei driver, dovrebbe essere presente nella stessa cartella anche un file TODO. +Il file TODO elenca il lavoro ancora da fare su questi driver per poter essere +accettati nel kernel, e indica anche la lista di persone da inserire in copia +conoscenza per ogni modifica fatta. Le regole attuali richiedono che i +driver debbano, come minimo, compilare adeguatamente. + +La *preparazione* può essere una via relativamente facile per inserire nuovi +driver all'interno del ramo principale, dove, con un po' di fortuna, saranno +notati da altri sviluppatori e migliorati velocemente. Entrare nella fase +di preparazione non è però la fine della storia, infatti, il codice che si +trova nella cartella staging che non mostra regolari progressi potrebbe +essere rimosso. Le distribuzioni, inoltre, tendono a dimostrarsi relativamente +riluttanti nell'attivare driver in preparazione. Quindi lo preparazione è, +nel migliore dei casi, una tappa sulla strada verso il divenire un driver +del ramo principale. + + +Strumenti +--------- + +Come è possibile notare dal testo sopra, il processo di sviluppo del kernel +dipende pesantemente dalla capacità di guidare la raccolta di patch in +diverse direzioni. L'intera cosa non funzionerebbe se non venisse svolta +con l'uso di strumenti appropriati e potenti. Spiegare l'uso di tali +strumenti non è lo scopo di questo documento, ma c'è spazio per alcuni +consigli. + +In assoluto, nella comunità del kernel, predomina l'uso di git come sistema +di gestione dei sorgenti. Git è una delle diverse tipologie di sistemi +distribuiti di controllo versione che sono stati sviluppati nella comunità +del software libero. Esso è calibrato per lo sviluppo del kernel, e si +comporta abbastanza bene quando ha a che fare con repositori grandi e con un +vasto numero di patch. Git ha inoltre la reputazione di essere difficile +da imparare e utilizzare, benché stia migliorando. Agli sviluppatori +del kernel viene richiesta un po' di familiarità con git; anche se non lo +utilizzano per il proprio lavoro, hanno bisogno di git per tenersi al passo +con il lavoro degli altri sviluppatori (e con il ramo principale). + +Git è ora compreso in quasi tutte le distribuzioni Linux. Esiste una sito che +potete consultare: + + http://git-scm.com/ + +Qui troverete i riferimenti alla documentazione e alle guide passo-passo. + +Tra gli sviluppatori Kernel che non usano git, la scelta alternativa più +popolare è quasi sicuramente Mercurial: + + http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ + +Mercurial condivide diverse caratteristiche con git, ma fornisce +un'interfaccia che potrebbe risultare più semplice da utilizzare. + +L'altro strumento che vale la pena conoscere è Quilt: + + http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt/ + + +Quilt è un sistema di gestione delle patch, piuttosto che un sistema +di gestione dei sorgenti. Non mantiene uno storico degli eventi; ma piuttosto +è orientato verso il tracciamento di uno specifico insieme di modifiche +rispetto ad un codice in evoluzione. Molti dei più grandi manutentori di +sottosistema utilizzano quilt per gestire le patch che dovrebbero essere +integrate. Per la gestione di certe tipologie di sorgenti (-mm, per esempio), +quilt è il miglior strumento per svolgere il lavoro. + + +Liste di discussione +-------------------- + +Una grossa parte del lavoro di sviluppo del Kernel Linux viene svolto tramite +le liste di discussione. È difficile essere un membro della comunità +pienamente coinvolto se non si partecipa almeno ad una lista da qualche +parte. Ma, le liste di discussione di Linux rappresentano un potenziale +problema per gli sviluppatori, che rischiano di venir sepolti da un mare di +email, restare incagliati nelle convenzioni in vigore nelle liste Linux, +o entrambi. + +Molte delle liste di discussione del Kernel girano su vger.kernel.org; +l'elenco principale lo si trova sul sito: + + http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html + +Esistono liste gestite altrove; un certo numero di queste sono in +lists.redhat.com. + +La lista di discussione principale per lo sviluppo del kernel è, ovviamente, +linux-kernel. Questa lista è un luogo ostile dove trovarsi; i volumi possono +raggiungere i 500 messaggi al giorno, la quantità di "rumore" è elevata, +la conversazione può essere strettamente tecnica e i partecipanti non sono +sempre preoccupati di mostrare un alto livello di educazione. Ma non esiste +altro luogo dove la comunità di sviluppo del kernel si unisce per intero; +gli sviluppatori che evitano tale lista si perderanno informazioni importanti. + +Ci sono alcuni consigli che possono essere utili per sopravvivere a +linux-kernel: + +- Tenete la lista in una cartella separata, piuttosto che inserirla nella + casella di posta principale. Così da essere in grado di ignorare il flusso + di mail per un certo periodo di tempo. + +- Non cercate di seguire ogni conversazione - nessuno lo fa. È importante + filtrare solo gli argomenti d'interesse (sebbene va notato che le + conversazioni di lungo periodo possono deviare dall'argomento originario + senza cambiare il titolo della mail) e le persone che stanno partecipando. + +- Non alimentate i troll. Se qualcuno cerca di creare nervosismo, ignoratelo. + +- Quando rispondete ad una mail linux-kernel (o ad altre liste) mantenete + tutti i Cc:. In assenza di importanti motivazioni (come una richiesta + esplicita), non dovreste mai togliere destinatari. Assicuratevi sempre che + la persona alla quale state rispondendo sia presente nella lista Cc. Questa + usanza fa si che divenga inutile chiedere esplicitamente di essere inseriti + in copia nel rispondere al vostro messaggio. + +- Cercate nell'archivio della lista (e nella rete nella sua totalità) prima + di far domande. Molti sviluppatori possono divenire impazienti con le + persone che chiaramente non hanno svolto i propri compiti a casa. + +- Evitate il *top-posting* (cioè la pratica di mettere la vostra risposta sopra + alla frase alla quale state rispondendo). Ciò renderebbe la vostra risposta + difficile da leggere e genera scarsa impressione. + +- Chiedete nella lista di discussione corretta. Linux-kernel può essere un + punto di incontro generale, ma non è il miglior posto dove trovare + sviluppatori da tutti i sottosistemi. + +Infine, la ricerca della corretta lista di discussione è uno degli errori più +comuni per gli sviluppatori principianti. Qualcuno che pone una domanda +relativa alla rete su linux-kernel riceverà quasi certamente il suggerimento +di chiedere sulla lista netdev, che è la lista frequentata dagli sviluppatori +di rete. Ci sono poi altre liste per i sottosistemi SCSI, video4linux, IDE, +filesystem, etc. Il miglior posto dove cercare una lista di discussione è il +file MAINTAINERS che si trova nei sorgenti del kernel. + +Iniziare con lo sviluppo del Kernel +----------------------------------- + +Sono comuni le domande sul come iniziare con lo sviluppo del kernel - sia da +singole persone che da aziende. Altrettanto comuni sono i passi falsi che +rendono l'inizio di tale relazione più difficile di quello che dovrebbe essere. + +Le aziende spesso cercano di assumere sviluppatori noti per creare un gruppo +di sviluppo iniziale. Questo, in effetti, può essere una tecnica efficace. +Ma risulta anche essere dispendiosa e non va ad accrescere il bacino di +sviluppatori kernel con esperienza. È possibile anche "portare a casa" +sviluppatori per accelerare lo sviluppo del kernel, dando comunque +all'investimento un po' di tempo. Prendersi questo tempo può fornire +al datore di lavoro un gruppo di sviluppatori che comprendono sia il kernel +che l'azienda stessa, e che possono supportare la formazione di altre persone. +Nel medio periodo, questa è spesso uno delle soluzioni più proficue. + +I singoli sviluppatori sono spesso, comprensibilmente, una perdita come punto +di partenza. Iniziare con un grande progetto può rivelarsi intimidatorio; +spesso all'inizio si vuole solo verificare il terreno con qualcosa di piccolo. +Questa è una delle motivazioni per le quali molti sviluppatori saltano alla +creazione di patch che vanno a sistemare errori di battitura o +problematiche minori legate allo stile del codice. Sfortunatamente, tali +patch creano un certo livello di rumore che distrae l'intera comunità di +sviluppo, quindi, sempre di più, esse vengono degradate. I nuovi sviluppatori +che desiderano presentarsi alla comunità non riceveranno l'accoglienza +che vorrebbero con questi mezzi. + +Andrew Morton da questo consiglio agli aspiranti sviluppatori kernel + +:: + + Il primo progetto per un neofita del kernel dovrebbe essere + sicuramente quello di "assicurarsi che il kernel funzioni alla + perfezione sempre e su tutte le macchine sulle quali potete stendere + la vostra mano". Solitamente il modo per fare ciò è quello di + collaborare con gli altri nel sistemare le cose (questo richiede + persistenza!) ma va bene - è parte dello sviluppo kernel. + +(http://lwn.net/Articles/283982/). + +In assenza di problemi ovvi da risolvere, si consiglia agli sviluppatori +di consultare, in generale, la lista di regressioni e di bachi aperti. +Non c'è mai carenza di problematiche bisognose di essere sistemate; +accollandosi tali questioni gli sviluppatori accumuleranno esperienza con +la procedura, ed allo stesso tempo, aumenteranno la loro rispettabilità +all'interno della comunità di sviluppo. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/3.Early-stage.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/3.Early-stage.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..443ac1e5558f --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/3.Early-stage.rst @@ -0,0 +1,241 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/3.Early-stage.rst <development_early_stage>` +:Translator: Alessia Mantegazza <amantegazza@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_early_stage: + +I primi passi della pianificazione +================================== + +Osservando un progetto di sviluppo per il kernel Linux, si potrebbe essere +tentati dal saltare tutto e iniziare a codificare. Tuttavia, come ogni +progetto significativo, molta della preparazione per giungere al successo +viene fatta prima che una sola linea di codice venga scritta. Il tempo speso +nella pianificazione e la comunicazione può far risparmiare molto +tempo in futuro. + +Specificare il problema +----------------------- + +Come qualsiasi progetto ingegneristico, un miglioramento del kernel di +successo parte con una chiara descrizione del problema da risolvere. +In alcuni casi, questo passaggio è facile: ad esempio quando un driver è +richiesto per un particolare dispositivo. In altri casi invece, si +tende a confondere il problema reale con le soluzioni proposte e questo +può portare all'emergere di problemi. + +Facciamo un esempio: qualche anno fa, gli sviluppatori che lavoravano con +linux audio cercarono un modo per far girare le applicazioni senza dropouts +o altri artefatti dovuti all'eccessivo ritardo nel sistema. La soluzione +alla quale giunsero fu un modulo del kernel destinato ad agganciarsi al +framework Linux Security Module (LSM); questo modulo poteva essere +configurato per dare ad una specifica applicazione accesso allo +schedulatore *realtime*. Tale modulo fu implementato e inviato nella +lista di discussione linux-kernel, dove incontrò subito dei problemi. + +Per gli sviluppatori audio, questo modulo di sicurezza era sufficiente a +risolvere il loro problema nell'immediato. Per l'intera comunità kernel, +invece, era un uso improprio del framework LSM (che non è progettato per +conferire privilegi a processi che altrimenti non avrebbero potuto ottenerli) +e un rischio per la stabilità del sistema. Le loro soluzioni di punta nel +breve periodo, comportavano un accesso alla schedulazione realtime attraverso +il meccanismo rlimit, e nel lungo periodo un costante lavoro nella riduzione +dei ritardi. + +La comunità audio, comunque, non poteva vedere al di là della singola +soluzione che avevano implementato; erano riluttanti ad accettare alternative. +Il conseguente dissenso lasciò in quegli sviluppatori un senso di +disillusione nei confronti dell'intero processo di sviluppo; uno di loro +scrisse questo messaggio: + + Ci sono numerosi sviluppatori del kernel Linux davvero bravi, ma + rischiano di restare sovrastati da una vasta massa di stolti arroganti. + Cercare di comunicare le richieste degli utenti a queste persone è + una perdita di tempo. Loro sono troppo "intelligenti" per stare ad + ascoltare dei poveri mortali. + + (http://lwn.net/Articles/131776/). + +La realtà delle cose fu differente; gli sviluppatori del kernel erano molto +più preoccupati per la stabilità del sistema, per la manutenzione di lungo +periodo e cercavano la giusta soluzione alla problematica esistente con uno +specifico modulo. La morale della storia è quella di concentrarsi sul +problema - non su di una specifica soluzione- e di discuterne con la comunità +di sviluppo prima di investire tempo nella scrittura del codice. + +Quindi, osservando un progetto di sviluppo del kernel, si dovrebbe +rispondere a questa lista di domande: + +- Qual'è, precisamente, il problema che dev'essere risolto? + +- Chi sono gli utenti coinvolti da tal problema? A quale caso dovrebbe + essere indirizzata la soluzione? + +- In che modo il kernel risulta manchevole nell'indirizzare il problema + in questione? + +Solo dopo ha senso iniziare a considerare le possibili soluzioni. + +Prime discussioni +----------------- + +Quando si pianifica un progetto di sviluppo per il kernel, sarebbe quanto meno +opportuno discuterne inizialmente con la comunità prima di lanciarsi +nell'implementazione. Una discussione preliminare può far risparmiare sia +tempo che problemi in svariati modi: + + - Potrebbe essere che il problema sia già stato risolto nel kernel in + una maniera che non avete ancora compreso. Il kernel Linux è grande e ha + una serie di funzionalità e capacità che non sono scontate nell'immediato. + Non tutte le capacità del kernel sono documentate così bene come ci + piacerebbe, ed è facile perdersi qualcosa. Il vostro autore ha assistito + alla pubblicazione di un driver intero che duplica un altro driver + esistente di cui il nuovo autore era ignaro. Il codice che rinnova + ingranaggi già esistenti non è soltanto dispendioso; non verrà nemmeno + accettato nel ramo principale del kernel. + + - Potrebbero esserci proposte che non sono considerate accettabili per + l'integrazione all'interno del ramo principale. È meglio affrontarle + prima di scrivere il codice. + + - È possibile che altri sviluppatori abbiano pensato al problema; potrebbero + avere delle idee per soluzioni migliori, e potrebbero voler contribuire + alla loro creazione. + +Anni di esperienza con la comunità di sviluppo del kernel hanno impartito una +chiara lezione: il codice per il kernel che è pensato e sviluppato a porte +chiuse, inevitabilmente, ha problematiche che si rivelano solo quando il +codice viene rilasciato pubblicamente. Qualche volta tali problemi sono +importanti e richiedono mesi o anni di sforzi prima che il codice possa +raggiungere gli standard richiesti della comunità. +Alcuni esempi possono essere: + + - La rete Devicescape è stata creata e implementata per sistemi + mono-processore. Non avrebbe potuto essere inserita nel ramo principale + fino a che non avesse supportato anche i sistemi multi-processore. + Riadattare i meccanismi di sincronizzazione e simili è un compito difficile; + come risultato, l'inserimento di questo codice (ora chiamato mac80211) + fu rimandato per più di un anno. + + - Il filesystem Reiser4 include una seria di funzionalità che, secondo + l'opinione degli sviluppatori principali del kernel, avrebbero dovuto + essere implementate a livello di filesystem virtuale. Comprende + anche funzionalità che non sono facilmente implementabili senza esporre + il sistema al rischio di uno stallo. La scoperta tardiva di questi + problemi - e il diniego a risolverne alcuni - ha avuto come conseguenza + il fatto che Raiser4 resta fuori dal ramo principale del kernel. + + - Il modulo di sicurezza AppArmor utilizzava strutture dati del + filesystem virtuale interno in modi che sono stati considerati rischiosi e + inattendibili. Questi problemi (tra le altre cose) hanno tenuto AppArmor + fuori dal ramo principale per anni. + +Ciascuno di questi casi è stato un travaglio e ha richiesto del lavoro +straordinario, cose che avrebbero potuto essere evitate con alcune +"chiacchierate" preliminari con gli sviluppatori kernel. + +Con chi parlare? +---------------- + +Quando gli sviluppatori hanno deciso di rendere pubblici i propri progetti, la +domanda successiva sarà: da dove partiamo? La risposta è quella di trovare +la giusta lista di discussione e il giusto manutentore. Per le liste di +discussione, il miglior approccio è quello di cercare la lista più adatta +nel file MAINTAINERS. Se esiste una lista di discussione di sottosistema, +è preferibile pubblicare lì piuttosto che sulla lista di discussione generale +del kernel Linux; avrete maggiori probabilità di trovare sviluppatori con +esperienza sul tema, e l'ambiente che troverete potrebbe essere più +incoraggiante. + +Trovare manutentori può rivelarsi un po' difficoltoso. Ancora, il file +MAINTAINERS è il posto giusto da dove iniziare. Il file potrebbe non essere +sempre aggiornato, inoltre, non tutti i sottosistemi sono rappresentati qui. +Coloro che sono elencati nel file MAINTAINERS potrebbero, in effetti, non +essere le persone che attualmente svolgono quel determinato ruolo. Quindi, +quando c'è un dubbio su chi contattare, un trucco utile è quello di usare +git (git log in particolare) per vedere chi attualmente è attivo all'interno +del sottosistema interessato. Controllate chi sta scrivendo le patch, +e chi, se non ci fosse nessuno, sta aggiungendo la propria firma +(Signed-off-by) a quelle patch. Quelle sono le persone maggiormente +qualificate per aiutarvi con lo sviluppo di nuovo progetto. + +Il compito di trovare il giusto manutentore, a volte, è una tale sfida che +ha spinto gli sviluppatori del kernel a scrivere uno script che li aiutasse +in questa ricerca: + +:: + + .../scripts/get_maintainer.pl + +Se questo script viene eseguito con l'opzione "-f" ritornerà il +manutentore(i) attuale per un dato file o cartella. Se viene passata una +patch sulla linea di comando, lo script elencherà i manutentori che +dovrebbero riceverne una copia. Ci sono svariate opzioni che regolano +quanto a fondo get_maintainer.pl debba cercare i manutentori; +siate quindi prudenti nell'utilizzare le opzioni più aggressive poiché +potreste finire per includere sviluppatori che non hanno un vero interesse +per il codice che state modificando. + +Se tutto ciò dovesse fallire, parlare con Andrew Morton potrebbe essere +un modo efficace per capire chi è il manutentore di un dato pezzo di codice. + +Quando pubblicare +----------------- + +Se potete, pubblicate i vostri intenti durante le fasi preliminari, sarà +molto utile. Descrivete il problema da risolvere e ogni piano che è stato +elaborato per l'implementazione. Ogni informazione fornita può aiutare +la comunità di sviluppo a fornire spunti utili per il progetto. + +Un evento che potrebbe risultare scoraggiate e che potrebbe accadere in +questa fase non è il ricevere una risposta ostile, ma, invece, ottenere +una misera o inesistente reazione. La triste verità è che: (1) gli +sviluppatori del kernel tendono ad essere occupati, (2) ci sono tante persone +con grandi progetti e poco codice (o anche solo la prospettiva di +avere un codice) a cui riferirsi e (3) nessuno è obbligato a revisionare +o a fare osservazioni in merito ad idee pubblicate da altri. Oltre a +questo, progetti di alto livello spesso nascondono problematiche che si +rivelano solo quando qualcuno cerca di implementarle; per questa ragione +gli sviluppatori kernel preferirebbero vedere il codice. + +Quindi, se una richiesta pubblica di commenti riscuote poco successo, non +pensate che ciò significhi che non ci sia interesse nel progetto. +Sfortunatamente, non potete nemmeno assumere che non ci siano problemi con +la vostra idea. La cosa migliore da fare in questa situazione è quella di +andare avanti e tenere la comunità informata mentre procedete. + +Ottenere riscontri ufficiali +---------------------------- + +Se il vostro lavoro è stato svolto in un ambiente aziendale - come molto +del lavoro fatto su Linux - dovete, ovviamente, avere il permesso dei +dirigenti prima che possiate pubblicare i progetti, o il codice aziendale, +su una lista di discussione pubblica. La pubblicazione di codice che non +è stato rilascio espressamente con licenza GPL-compatibile può rivelarsi +problematico; prima la dirigenza, e il personale legale, troverà una decisione +sulla pubblicazione di un progetto, meglio sarà per tutte le persone coinvolte. + +A questo punto, alcuni lettori potrebbero pensare che il loro lavoro sul +kernel è preposto a supportare un prodotto che non è ancora ufficialmente +riconosciuto. Rivelare le intenzioni dei propri datori di lavori in una +lista di discussione pubblica potrebbe non essere una soluzione valida. +In questi casi, vale la pena considerare se la segretezza sia necessaria +o meno; spesso non c'è una reale necessità di mantenere chiusi i progetti di +sviluppo. + +Detto ciò, ci sono anche casi dove l'azienda legittimamente non può rivelare +le proprie intenzioni in anticipo durante il processo di sviluppo. Le aziende +che hanno sviluppatori kernel esperti possono scegliere di procedere a +carte coperte partendo dall'assunto che saranno in grado di evitare, o gestire, +in futuro, eventuali problemi d'integrazione. Per le aziende senza questo tipo +di esperti, la migliore opzione è spesso quella di assumere uno sviluppatore +esterno che revisioni i progetti con un accordo di segretezza. +La Linux Foundation applica un programma di NDA creato appositamente per +aiutare le aziende in questa particolare situazione; potrete trovare più +informazioni sul sito: + + http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/NDA_program + +Questa tipologia di revisione è spesso sufficiente per evitare gravi problemi +senza che sia richiesta l'esposizione pubblica del progetto. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/4.Coding.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/4.Coding.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c61059015e52 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/4.Coding.rst @@ -0,0 +1,447 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst <development_coding>` +:Translator: Alessia Mantegazza <amantegazza@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_coding: + +Scrivere codice corretto +======================== + +Nonostante ci sia molto da dire sul processo di creazione, sulla sua solidità +e sul suo orientamento alla comunità, la prova di ogni progetto di sviluppo +del kernel si trova nel codice stesso. È il codice che sarà esaminato dagli +altri sviluppatori ed inserito (o no) nel ramo principale. Quindi è la +qualità di questo codice che determinerà il successo finale del progetto. + +Questa sezione esaminerà il processo di codifica. Inizieremo con uno sguardo +sulle diverse casistiche nelle quali gli sviluppatori kernel possono +sbagliare. Poi, l'attenzione si sposterà verso "il fare le cose +correttamente" e sugli strumenti che possono essere utili in questa missione. + +Trappole +-------- + +Lo stile del codice +******************* + +Il kernel ha da tempo delle norme sullo stile di codifica che sono descritte in +:ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/coding-style.rst <codingstyle>`. +Per la maggior parte del tempo, la politica descritta in quel file è stata +praticamente informativa. Ne risulta che ci sia una quantità sostanziale di +codice nel kernel che non rispetta le linee guida relative allo stile. +La presenza di quel codice conduce a due distinti pericoli per gli +sviluppatori kernel. + +Il primo di questi è credere che gli standard di codifica del kernel +non sono importanti e possono non essere applicati. La verità è che +aggiungere nuovo codice al kernel è davvero difficile se questo non +rispetta le norme; molti sviluppatori richiederanno che il codice sia +riformulato prima che anche solo lo revisionino. Una base di codice larga +quanto il kernel richiede una certa uniformità, in modo da rendere possibile +per gli sviluppatori una comprensione veloce di ogni sua parte. Non ci sono, +quindi, più spazi per un codice formattato alla carlona. + +Occasionalmente, lo stile di codifica del kernel andrà in conflitto con lo +stile richiesto da un datore di lavoro. In alcuni casi, lo stile del kernel +dovrà prevalere prima che il codice venga inserito. Mettere il codice +all'interno del kernel significa rinunciare a un certo grado di controllo +in differenti modi - incluso il controllo sul come formattare il codice. + +L’altra trappola è quella di pensare che il codice già presente nel kernel +abbia urgentemente bisogno di essere sistemato. Gli sviluppatori potrebbero +iniziare a generare patch che correggono lo stile come modo per prendere +famigliarità con il processo, o come modo per inserire i propri nomi nei +changelog del kernel – o entrambe. La comunità di sviluppo vede un attività +di codifica puramente correttiva come "rumore"; queste attività riceveranno +una fredda accoglienza. Di conseguenza è meglio evitare questo tipo di patch. +Mentre si lavora su un pezzo di codice è normale correggerne anche lo stile, +ma le modifiche di stile non dovrebbero essere fatte fini a se stesse. + +Il documento sullo stile del codice non dovrebbe essere letto come una legge +assoluta che non può mai essere trasgredita. Se c’è un a buona ragione +(per esempio, una linea che diviene poco leggibile se divisa per rientrare +nel limite di 80 colonne), fatelo e basta. + +Notate che potete utilizzare lo strumento “clang-format” per aiutarvi con +le regole, per una riformattazione automatica e veloce del vostro codice +e per revisionare interi file per individuare errori nello stile di codifica, +refusi e possibili miglioramenti. Inoltre è utile anche per classificare gli +``#includes``, per allineare variabili/macro, per testi derivati ed altri +compiti del genere. Consultate il file +:ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/clang-format.rst <clangformat>` +per maggiori dettagli + + +Livelli di astrazione +********************* + + +I professori di Informatica insegnano ai propri studenti a fare ampio uso dei +livelli di astrazione nel nome della flessibilità e del nascondere informazioni. +Certo il kernel fa un grande uso dell'astrazione; nessun progetto con milioni +di righe di codice potrebbe fare altrimenti e sopravvivere. Ma l'esperienza +ha dimostrato che un'eccessiva o prematura astrazione può rivelarsi dannosa +al pari di una prematura ottimizzazione. L'astrazione dovrebbe essere usata +fino al livello necessario e non oltre. + +Ad un livello base, considerate una funzione che ha un argomento che viene +sempre impostato a zero da tutti i chiamanti. Uno potrebbe mantenere +quell'argomento nell'eventualità qualcuno volesse sfruttare la flessibilità +offerta. In ogni caso, tuttavia, ci sono buone possibilità che il codice +che va ad implementare questo argomento aggiuntivo, sia stato rotto in maniera +sottile, in un modo che non è mai stato notato - perché non è mai stato usato. +Oppure, quando sorge la necessità di avere più flessibilità, questo argomento +non la fornisce in maniera soddisfacente. Gli sviluppatori di Kernel, +sottopongono costantemente patch che vanno a rimuovere gli argomenti +inutilizzate; anche se, in generale, non avrebbero dovuto essere aggiunti. + +I livelli di astrazione che nascondono l'accesso all'hardware - +spesso per poter usare dei driver su diversi sistemi operativi - vengono +particolarmente disapprovati. Tali livelli oscurano il codice e possono +peggiorare le prestazioni; essi non appartengono al kernel Linux. + +D'altro canto, se vi ritrovate a dover copiare una quantità significativa di +codice proveniente da un altro sottosistema del kernel, è tempo di chiedersi +se, in effetti, non avrebbe più senso togliere parte di quel codice e metterlo +in una libreria separata o di implementare quella funzionalità ad un livello +più elevato. Non c'è utilità nel replicare lo stesso codice per tutto +il kernel. + + +#ifdef e l'uso del preprocessore in generale +******************************************** + +Il preprocessore C sembra essere una fonte di attrazione per qualche +programmatore C, che ci vede una via per ottenere una grande flessibilità +all'interno di un file sorgente. Ma il preprocessore non è scritto in C, +e un suo massiccio impiego conduce a un codice che è molto più difficile +da leggere per gli altri e che rende più difficile il lavoro di verifica del +compilatore. L'uso eccessivo del preprocessore è praticamente sempre il segno +di un codice che necessita di un certo lavoro di pulizia. + +La compilazione condizionata con #ifdef è, in effetti, un potente strumento, +ed esso viene usato all'interno del kernel. Ma esiste un piccolo desiderio: +quello di vedere il codice coperto solo da una leggera spolverata di +blocchi #ifdef. Come regola generale, quando possibile, l'uso di #ifdef +dovrebbe essere confinato nei file d'intestazione. Il codice compilato +condizionatamente può essere confinato a funzioni tali che, nel caso in cui +il codice non deve essere presente, diventano vuote. Il compilatore poi +ottimizzerà la chiamata alla funzione vuota rimuovendola. Il risultato è +un codice molto più pulito, più facile da seguire. + +Le macro del preprocessore C presentano una serie di pericoli, inclusi +valutazioni multiple di espressioni che hanno effetti collaterali e non +garantiscono una sicurezza rispetto ai tipi. Se siete tentati dal definire +una macro, considerate l'idea di creare invece una funzione inline. Il codice +che ne risulterà sarà lo stesso, ma le funzioni inline sono più leggibili, +non considerano i propri argomenti più volte, e permettono al compilatore di +effettuare controlli sul tipo degli argomenti e del valore di ritorno. + + +Funzioni inline +*************** + +Comunque, anche le funzioni inline hanno i loro pericoli. I programmatori +potrebbero innamorarsi dell'efficienza percepita derivata dalla rimozione +di una chiamata a funzione. Queste funzioni, tuttavia, possono ridurre le +prestazioni. Dato che il loro codice viene replicato ovunque vi sia una +chiamata ad esse, si finisce per gonfiare le dimensioni del kernel compilato. +Questi, a turno, creano pressione sulla memoria cache del processore, e questo +può causare rallentamenti importanti. Le funzioni inline, di norma, dovrebbero +essere piccole e usate raramente. Il costo di una chiamata a funzione, dopo +tutto, non è così alto; la creazione di molte funzioni inline è il classico +esempio di un'ottimizzazione prematura. + +In generale, i programmatori del kernel ignorano gli effetti della cache a +loro rischio e pericolo. Il classico compromesso tempo/spazio teorizzato +all'inizio delle lezioni sulle strutture dati spesso non si applica +all'hardware moderno. Lo spazio *è* tempo, in questo senso un programma +più grande sarà più lento rispetto ad uno più compatto. + +I compilatori più recenti hanno preso un ruolo attivo nel decidere se +una data funzione deve essere resa inline oppure no. Quindi l'uso +indiscriminato della parola chiave "inline" potrebbe non essere non solo +eccessivo, ma anche irrilevante. + +Sincronizzazione +**************** + +Nel maggio 2006, il sistema di rete "Devicescape" fu rilasciato in pompa magna +sotto la licenza GPL e reso disponibile per la sua inclusione nella ramo +principale del kernel. Questa donazione fu una notizia bene accolta; +il supporto per le reti senza fili era considerata, nel migliore dei casi, +al di sotto degli standard; il sistema Deviscape offrì la promessa di una +risoluzione a tale situazione. Tuttavia, questo codice non fu inserito nel +ramo principale fino al giugno del 2007 (2.6.22). Cosa accadde? + +Quel codice mostrava numerosi segnali di uno sviluppo in azienda avvenuto +a porte chiuse. Ma in particolare, un grosso problema fu che non fu +progettato per girare in un sistema multiprocessore. Prima che questo +sistema di rete (ora chiamato mac80211) potesse essere inserito, fu necessario +un lavoro sugli schemi di sincronizzazione. + +Una volta, il codice del kernel Linux poteva essere sviluppato senza pensare +ai problemi di concorrenza presenti nei sistemi multiprocessore. Ora, +comunque, questo documento è stato scritto su di un portatile dual-core. +Persino su sistemi a singolo processore, il lavoro svolto per incrementare +la capacità di risposta aumenterà il livello di concorrenza interno al kernel. +I giorni nei quali il codice poteva essere scritto senza pensare alla +sincronizzazione sono da passati tempo. + +Ogni risorsa (strutture dati, registri hardware, etc.) ai quali si potrebbe +avere accesso simultaneo da più di un thread deve essere sincronizzato. Il +nuovo codice dovrebbe essere scritto avendo tale accortezza in testa; +riadattare la sincronizzazione a posteriori è un compito molto più difficile. +Gli sviluppatori del kernel dovrebbero prendersi il tempo di comprendere bene +le primitive di sincronizzazione, in modo da sceglier lo strumento corretto +per eseguire un compito. Il codice che presenta una mancanza di attenzione +alla concorrenza avrà un percorso difficile all'interno del ramo principale. + +Regressioni +*********** + +Vale la pena menzionare un ultimo pericolo: potrebbe rivelarsi accattivante +l'idea di eseguire un cambiamento (che potrebbe portare a grandi +miglioramenti) che porterà ad alcune rotture per gli utenti esistenti. +Questa tipologia di cambiamento è chiamata "regressione", e le regressioni son +diventate mal viste nel ramo principale del kernel. Con alcune eccezioni, +i cambiamenti che causano regressioni saranno fermati se quest'ultime non +potranno essere corrette in tempo utile. È molto meglio quindi evitare +la regressione fin dall'inizio. + +Spesso si è argomentato che una regressione può essere giustificata se essa +porta risolve più problemi di quanti non ne crei. Perché, dunque, non fare +un cambiamento se questo porta a nuove funzionalità a dieci sistemi per +ognuno dei quali esso determina una rottura? La migliore risposta a questa +domanda ci è stata fornita da Linus nel luglio 2007: + +:: + Dunque, noi non sistemiamo bachi introducendo nuovi problemi. Quella + via nasconde insidie, e nessuno può sapere del tutto se state facendo + dei progressi reali. Sono due passi avanti e uno indietro, oppure + un passo avanti e due indietro? + +(http://lwn.net/Articles/243460/). + +Una particolare tipologia di regressione mal vista consiste in una qualsiasi +sorta di modifica all'ABI dello spazio utente. Una volta che un'interfaccia +viene esportata verso lo spazio utente, dev'essere supportata all'infinito. +Questo fatto rende la creazione di interfacce per lo spazio utente +particolarmente complicato: dato che non possono venir cambiate introducendo +incompatibilità, esse devono essere fatte bene al primo colpo. Per questa +ragione sono sempre richieste: ampie riflessioni, documentazione chiara e +ampie revisioni dell'interfaccia verso lo spazio utente. + + +Strumenti di verifica del codice +-------------------------------- +Almeno per ora la scrittura di codice priva di errori resta un ideale +irraggiungibile ai più. Quello che speriamo di poter fare, tuttavia, è +trovare e correggere molti di questi errori prima che il codice entri nel +ramo principale del kernel. A tal scopo gli sviluppatori del kernel devono +mettere insieme una schiera impressionante di strumenti che possano +localizzare automaticamente un'ampia varietà di problemi. Qualsiasi problema +trovato dal computer è un problema che non affliggerà l'utente in seguito, +ne consegue che gli strumenti automatici dovrebbero essere impiegati ovunque +possibile. + +Il primo passo consiste semplicemente nel fare attenzione agli avvertimenti +proveniente dal compilatore. Versioni moderne di gcc possono individuare +(e segnalare) un gran numero di potenziali errori. Molto spesso, questi +avvertimenti indicano problemi reali. Di regola, il codice inviato per la +revisione non dovrebbe produrre nessun avvertimento da parte del compilatore. +Per mettere a tacere gli avvertimenti, cercate di comprenderne le cause reali +e cercate di evitare le "riparazioni" che fan sparire l'avvertimento senza +però averne trovato la causa. + +Tenete a mente che non tutti gli avvertimenti sono disabilitati di default. +Costruite il kernel con "make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W" per ottenerli tutti. + +Il kernel fornisce differenti opzioni che abilitano funzionalità di debugging; +molti di queste sono trovano all'interno del sotto menu "kernel hacking". +La maggior parte di queste opzioni possono essere attivate per qualsiasi +kernel utilizzato per lo sviluppo o a scopo di test. In particolare dovreste +attivare: + + - ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED, ENABLE_MUST_CHECK, e FRAME_WARN per ottenere degli + avvertimenti dedicati a problemi come l'uso di interfacce deprecate o + l'ignorare un importante valore di ritorno di una funzione. Il risultato + generato da questi avvertimenti può risultare verboso, ma non bisogna + preoccuparsi per gli avvertimenti provenienti da altre parti del kernel. + + - DEBUG_OBJECTS aggiungerà un codice per tracciare il ciclo di vita di + diversi oggetti creati dal kernel e avvisa quando qualcosa viene eseguito + fuori controllo. Se state aggiungendo un sottosistema che crea (ed + esporta) oggetti complessi propri, considerate l'aggiunta di un supporto + al debugging dell'oggetto. + + - DEBUG_SLAB può trovare svariati errori di uso e di allocazione di memoria; + esso dovrebbe esser usato dalla maggior parte dei kernel di sviluppo. + + - DEBUG_SPINLOCK, DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, e DEBUG_MUTEXES troveranno un certo + numero di errori comuni di sincronizzazione. + +Esistono ancora delle altre opzioni di debugging, di alcune di esse +discuteremo qui sotto. Alcune di esse hanno un forte impatto e non dovrebbero +essere usate tutte le volte. Ma qualche volta il tempo speso nell'capire +le opzioni disponibili porterà ad un risparmio di tempo nel breve termine. + +Uno degli strumenti di debugging più tosti è il *locking checker*, o +"lockdep". Questo strumento traccerà qualsiasi acquisizione e rilascio di +ogni *lock* (spinlock o mutex) nel sistema, l'ordine con il quale i *lock* +sono acquisiti in relazione l'uno con l'altro, l'ambiente corrente di +interruzione, eccetera. Inoltre esso può assicurare che i *lock* vengano +acquisiti sempre nello stesso ordine, che le stesse assunzioni sulle +interruzioni si applichino in tutte le occasioni, e così via. In altre parole, +lockdep può scovare diversi scenari nei quali il sistema potrebbe, in rari +casi, trovarsi in stallo. Questa tipologia di problema può essere grave +(sia per gli sviluppatori che per gli utenti) in un sistema in uso; lockdep +permette di trovare tali problemi automaticamente e in anticipo. + +In qualità di programmatore kernel diligente, senza dubbio, dovrete controllare +il valore di ritorno di ogni operazione (come l'allocazione della memoria) +poiché esso potrebbe fallire. Il nocciolo della questione è che i percorsi +di gestione degli errori, con grande probabilità, non sono mai stati +collaudati del tutto. Il codice collaudato tende ad essere codice bacato; +potrete quindi essere più a vostro agio con il vostro codice se tutti questi +percorsi fossero stati verificati un po' di volte. + +Il kernel fornisce un framework per l'inserimento di fallimenti che fa +esattamente al caso, specialmente dove sono coinvolte allocazioni di memoria. +Con l'opzione per l'inserimento dei fallimenti abilitata, una certa percentuale +di allocazione di memoria sarà destinata al fallimento; questi fallimenti +possono essere ridotti ad uno specifico pezzo di codice. Procedere con +l'inserimento dei fallimenti attivo permette al programmatore di verificare +come il codice risponde quando le cose vanno male. Consultate: +Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt per avere maggiori +informazioni su come utilizzare questo strumento. + +Altre tipologie di errori possono essere riscontrati con lo strumento di +analisi statica "sparse". Con Sparse, il programmatore può essere avvisato +circa la confusione tra gli indirizzi dello spazio utente e dello spazio +kernel, un miscuglio fra quantità big-endian e little-endian, il passaggio +di un valore intero dove ci sia aspetta un gruppo di flag, e così via. +Sparse deve essere installato separatamente (se il vostra distribuzione non +lo prevede, potete trovarlo su https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page); +può essere attivato sul codice aggiungendo "C=1" al comando make. + +Lo strumento "Coccinelle" (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) è in grado di trovare +una vasta varietà di potenziali problemi di codifica; e può inoltre proporre +soluzioni per risolverli. Un buon numero di "patch semantiche" per il kernel +sono state preparate nella cartella scripts/coccinelle; utilizzando +"make coccicheck" esso percorrerà tali patch semantiche e farà rapporto su +qualsiasi problema trovato. Per maggiori informazioni, consultate +:ref:`Documentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst <devtools_coccinelle>`. + +Altri errori di portabilità sono meglio scovati compilando il vostro codice +per altre architetture. Se non vi accade di avere un sistema S/390 o una +scheda di sviluppo Blackfin sotto mano, potete comunque continuare la fase +di compilazione. Un vasto numero di cross-compilatori per x86 possono +essere trovati al sito: + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ + +Il tempo impiegato nell'installare e usare questi compilatori sarà d'aiuto +nell'evitare situazioni imbarazzanti nel futuro. + + +Documentazione +-------------- + +La documentazione è spesso stata più un'eccezione che una regola nello +sviluppo del kernel. Nonostante questo, un'adeguata documentazione aiuterà +a facilitare l'inserimento di nuovo codice nel kernel, rende la vita più +facile per gli altri sviluppatori e sarà utile per i vostri utenti. In molti +casi, la documentazione è divenuta sostanzialmente obbligatoria. + +La prima parte di documentazione per qualsiasi patch è il suo changelog. +Questi dovrebbero descrivere le problematiche risolte, la tipologia di +soluzione, le persone che lavorano alla patch, ogni effetto rilevante +sulle prestazioni e tutto ciò che può servire per la comprensione della +patch. Assicuratevi che il changelog dica *perché*, vale la pena aggiungere +la patch; un numero sorprendente di sviluppatori sbaglia nel fornire tale +informazione. + +Qualsiasi codice che aggiunge una nuova interfaccia in spazio utente - inclusi +nuovi file in sysfs o /proc - dovrebbe includere la documentazione di tale +interfaccia così da permette agli sviluppatori dello spazio utente di sapere +con cosa stanno lavorando. Consultate: Documentation/ABI/README per avere una +descrizione di come questi documenti devono essere impostati e quali +informazioni devono essere fornite. + +Il file :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst <kernelparameters>` +descrive tutti i parametri di avvio del kernel. Ogni patch che aggiunga +nuovi parametri dovrebbe aggiungere nuove voci a questo file. + +Ogni nuova configurazione deve essere accompagnata da un testo di supporto +che spieghi chiaramente le opzioni e spieghi quando l'utente potrebbe volerle +selezionare. + +Per molti sottosistemi le informazioni sull'API interna sono documentate sotto +forma di commenti formattati in maniera particolare; questi commenti possono +essere estratti e formattati in differenti modi attraverso lo script +"kernel-doc". Se state lavorando all'interno di un sottosistema che ha +commenti kerneldoc dovreste mantenerli e aggiungerli, in maniera appropriata, +per le funzioni disponibili esternamente. Anche in aree che non sono molto +documentate, non c'è motivo per non aggiungere commenti kerneldoc per il +futuro; infatti, questa può essere un'attività utile per sviluppatori novizi +del kernel. Il formato di questi commenti, assieme alle informazione su come +creare modelli per kerneldoc, possono essere trovati in +:ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/doc-guide/ <doc_guide>`. + +Chiunque legga un ammontare significativo di codice kernel noterà che, spesso, +i commenti si fanno maggiormente notare per la loro assenza. Ancora una volta, +le aspettative verso il nuovo codice sono più alte rispetto al passato; +inserire codice privo di commenti sarà più difficile. Detto ciò, va aggiunto +che non si desiderano commenti prolissi per il codice. Il codice dovrebbe +essere, di per sé, leggibile, con dei commenti che spieghino gli aspetti più +sottili. + +Determinate cose dovrebbero essere sempre commentate. L'uso di barriere +di memoria dovrebbero essere accompagnate da una riga che spieghi perché sia +necessaria. Le regole di sincronizzazione per le strutture dati, generalmente, +necessitano di una spiegazioni da qualche parte. Le strutture dati più +importanti, in generale, hanno bisogno di una documentazione onnicomprensiva. +Le dipendenze che non sono ovvie tra bit separati di codice dovrebbero essere +indicate. Tutto ciò che potrebbe indurre un inserviente del codice a fare +una "pulizia" incorretta, ha bisogno di un commento che dica perché è stato +fatto in quel modo. E così via. + +Cambiamenti interni dell'API +---------------------------- + +L'interfaccia binaria fornita dal kernel allo spazio utente non può essere +rotta tranne che in circostanze eccezionali. L'interfaccia di programmazione +interna al kernel, invece, è estremamente fluida e può essere modificata al +bisogno. Se vi trovate a dover lavorare attorno ad un'API del kernel o +semplicemente non state utilizzando una funzionalità offerta perché questa +non rispecchia i vostri bisogni, allora questo potrebbe essere un segno che +l'API ha bisogno di essere cambiata. In qualità di sviluppatore del kernel, +hai il potere di fare questo tipo di modifica. + +Ci sono ovviamente alcuni punti da cogliere. I cambiamenti API possono essere +fatti, ma devono essere giustificati. Quindi ogni patch che porta ad una +modifica dell'API interna dovrebbe essere accompagnata da una descrizione +della modifica in sé e del perché essa è necessaria. Questo tipo di +cambiamenti dovrebbero, inoltre, essere fatti in una patch separata, invece di +essere sepolti all'interno di una patch più grande. + +L'altro punto da cogliere consiste nel fatto che uno sviluppatore che +modifica l'API deve, in generale, essere responsabile della correzione +di tutto il codice del kernel che viene rotto per via della sua modifica. +Per una funzione ampiamente usata, questo compito può condurre letteralmente +a centinaia o migliaia di modifiche, molte delle quali sono in conflitto con +il lavoro svolto da altri sviluppatori. Non c'è bisogno di dire che questo +può essere un lavoro molto grosso, quindi è meglio essere sicuri che la +motivazione sia ben solida. Notate che lo strumento Coccinelle può fornire +un aiuto con modifiche estese dell'API. + +Quando viene fatta una modifica API incompatibile, una persona dovrebbe, +quando possibile, assicurarsi che quel codice non aggiornato sia trovato +dal compilatore. Questo vi aiuterà ad essere sicuri d'avere trovato, +tutti gli usi di quell'interfaccia. Inoltre questo avviserà gli sviluppatori +di codice fuori dal kernel che c'è un cambiamento per il quale è necessario del +lavoro. Il supporto al codice fuori dal kernel non è qualcosa di cui gli +sviluppatori del kernel devono preoccuparsi, ma non dobbiamo nemmeno rendere +più difficile del necessario la vita agli sviluppatori di questo codice. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/5.Posting.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/5.Posting.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..b979266aa884 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/5.Posting.rst @@ -0,0 +1,348 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst <development_posting>` +:Translator: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_posting: + +Pubblicare modifiche +==================== + +Prima o poi arriva il momento in cui il vostro lavoro è pronto per essere +presentato alla comunità per una revisione ed eventualmente per la sua +inclusione nel ramo principale del kernel. Com'era prevedibile, +la comunità di sviluppo del kernel ha elaborato un insieme di convenzioni +e di procedure per la pubblicazione delle patch; seguirle renderà la vita +più facile a tutti quanti. Questo documento cercherà di coprire questi +argomenti con un ragionevole livello di dettaglio; più informazioni possono +essere trovare nella cartella 'Documentation', nei file +:ref:`translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>`, +:ref:`translations/it_IT/process/submitting-drivers.rst <it_submittingdrivers>`, e +:ref:`translations/it_IT/process/submit-checklist.rst <it_submitchecklist>`. + + +Quando pubblicarle +------------------ + +C'è sempre una certa resistenza nel pubblicare patch finché non sono +veramente "pronte". Per semplici patch questo non è un problema. +Ma quando il lavoro è di una certa complessità, c'è molto da guadagnare +dai riscontri che la comunità può darvi prima che completiate il lavoro. +Dovreste considerare l'idea di pubblicare un lavoro incompleto, o anche +preparare un ramo git disponibile agli sviluppatori interessati, cosicché +possano stare al passo col vostro lavoro in qualunque momento. + +Quando pubblicate del codice che non è considerato pronto per l'inclusione, +è bene che lo diciate al momento della pubblicazione. Inoltre, aggiungete +informazioni sulle cose ancora da sviluppare e sui problemi conosciuti. +Poche persone guarderanno delle patch che si sa essere fatte a metà, +ma quelli che lo faranno penseranno di potervi aiutare a condurre il vostro +sviluppo nella giusta direzione. + + +Prima di creare patch +--------------------- + +Ci sono un certo numero di cose che dovreste fare prima di considerare +l'invio delle patch alla comunità di sviluppo. Queste cose includono: + + - Verificare il codice fino al massimo che vi è consentito. Usate gli + strumenti di debug del kernel, assicuratevi che il kernel compili con + tutte le più ragionevoli combinazioni d'opzioni, usate cross-compilatori + per compilare il codice per differenti architetture, eccetera. + + - Assicuratevi che il vostro codice sia conforme alla linee guida del + kernel sullo stile del codice. + + - La vostra patch ha delle conseguenze in termini di prestazioni? + Se è così, dovreste eseguire dei *benchmark* che mostrino il loro + impatto (anche positivo); un riassunto dei risultati dovrebbe essere + incluso nella patch. + + - Siate certi d'avere i diritti per pubblicare il codice. Se questo + lavoro è stato fatto per un datore di lavoro, egli avrà dei diritti su + questo lavoro e dovrà quindi essere d'accordo alla sua pubblicazione + con una licenza GPL + +Come regola generale, pensarci un po' di più prima di inviare il codice +ripaga quasi sempre lo sforzo. + + +Preparazione di una patch +------------------------- + +La preparazione delle patch per la pubblicazione può richiedere una quantità +di lavoro significativa, ma, ripetiamolo ancora, generalmente sconsigliamo +di risparmiare tempo in questa fase, anche sul breve periodo. + +Le patch devono essere preparate per una specifica versione del kernel. +Come regola generale, una patch dovrebbe basarsi sul ramo principale attuale +così come lo si trova nei sorgenti git di Linus. Quando vi basate sul ramo +principale, cominciate da un punto di rilascio ben noto - uno stabile o +un -rc - piuttosto che creare il vostro ramo da quello principale in un punto +a caso. + +Per facilitare una revisione e una verifica più estesa, potrebbe diventare +necessaria la produzione di versioni per -mm, linux-next o i sorgenti di un +sottosistema. Basare questa patch sui suddetti sorgenti potrebbe richiedere +un lavoro significativo nella risoluzione dei conflitti e nella correzione dei +cambiamenti di API; questo potrebbe variare a seconda dell'area d'interesse +della vostra patch e da quello che succede altrove nel kernel. + +Solo le modifiche più semplici dovrebbero essere preparate come una singola +patch; tutto il resto dovrebbe essere preparato come una serie logica di +modifiche. Spezzettare le patch è un po' un'arte; alcuni sviluppatori +passano molto tempo nel capire come farlo in modo che piaccia alla comunità. +Ci sono alcune regole spannometriche, che comunque possono aiutare +considerevolmente: + + - La serie di patch che pubblicherete, quasi sicuramente, non sarà + come quella che trovate nel vostro sistema di controllo di versione. + Invece, le vostre modifiche dovranno essere considerate nella loro forma + finale, e quindi separate in parti che abbiano un senso. Gli sviluppatori + sono interessati in modifiche che siano discrete e indipendenti, non + alla strada che avete percorso per ottenerle. + + - Ogni modifica logicamente indipendente dovrebbe essere preparata come una + patch separata. Queste modifiche possono essere piccole ("aggiunto un + campo in questa struttura") o grandi (l'aggiunta di un driver nuovo, + per esempio), ma dovrebbero essere concettualmente piccole da permettere + una descrizione in una sola riga. Ogni patch dovrebbe fare modifiche + specifiche che si possano revisionare indipendentemente e di cui si possa + verificare la veridicità. + + - Giusto per riaffermare quando detto sopra: non mischiate diversi tipi di + modifiche nella stessa patch. Se una modifica corregge un baco critico + per la sicurezza, riorganizza alcune strutture, e riformatta il codice, + ci sono buone probabilità che venga ignorata e che la correzione importante + venga persa. + + - Ogni modifica dovrebbe portare ad un kernel che compila e funziona + correttamente; se la vostra serie di patch si interrompe a metà il + risultato dovrebbe essere comunque un kernel funzionante. L'applicazione + parziale di una serie di patch è uno scenario comune nel quale il + comando "git bisect" viene usato per trovare delle regressioni; se il + risultato è un kernel guasto, renderete la vita degli sviluppatori più + difficile così come quella di chi s'impegna nel nobile lavoro di + scovare i problemi. + + - Però, non strafate. Una volta uno sviluppatore pubblicò una serie di 500 + patch che modificavano un unico file - un atto che non lo rese la persona + più popolare sulla lista di discussione del kernel. Una singola patch + può essere ragionevolmente grande fintanto che contenga un singolo + cambiamento *logico*. + + - Potrebbe essere allettante l'idea di aggiungere una nuova infrastruttura + come una serie di patch, ma di lasciare questa infrastruttura inutilizzata + finché l'ultima patch della serie non abilita tutto quanto. Quando è + possibile, questo dovrebbe essere evitato; se questa serie aggiunge delle + regressioni, "bisect" indicherà quest'ultima patch come causa del + problema anche se il baco si trova altrove. Possibilmente, quando una + patch aggiunge del nuovo codice dovrebbe renderlo attivo immediatamente. + +Lavorare per creare la serie di patch perfetta potrebbe essere frustrante +perché richiede un certo tempo e soprattutto dopo che il "vero lavoro" è +già stato fatto. Quando ben fatto, comunque, è tempo ben speso. + + +Formattazione delle patch e i changelog +--------------------------------------- + +Quindi adesso avete una serie perfetta di patch pronte per la pubblicazione, +ma il lavoro non è davvero finito. Ogni patch deve essere preparata con +un messaggio che spieghi al resto del mondo, in modo chiaro e veloce, +il suo scopo. Per ottenerlo, ogni patch sarà composta dai seguenti elementi: + + - Un campo opzionale "From" col nome dell'autore della patch. Questa riga + è necessaria solo se state passando la patch di qualcun altro via email, + ma nel dubbio non fa di certo male aggiungerlo. + + - Una descrizione di una riga che spieghi cosa fa la patch. Questo + messaggio dovrebbe essere sufficiente per far comprendere al lettore lo + scopo della patch senza altre informazioni. Questo messaggio, + solitamente, presenta in testa il nome del sottosistema a cui si riferisce, + seguito dallo scopo della patch. Per esempio: + + :: + + gpio: fix build on CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS=n + + - Una riga bianca seguita da una descrizione dettagliata della patch. + Questa descrizione può essere lunga tanto quanto serve; dovrebbe spiegare + cosa fa e perché dovrebbe essere aggiunta al kernel. + + - Una o più righe etichette, con, minimo, una riga *Signed-off-by:* + col nome dall'autore della patch. Queste etichette verranno descritte + meglio più avanti. + +Gli elementi qui sopra, assieme, formano il changelog di una patch. +Scrivere un buon changelog è cruciale ma è spesso un'arte trascurata; +vale la pena spendere qualche parola in più al riguardo. Quando scrivete +un changelog dovreste tenere ben presente che molte persone leggeranno +le vostre parole. Queste includono i manutentori di un sotto-sistema, e i +revisori che devono decidere se la patch debba essere inclusa o no, +le distribuzioni e altri manutentori che cercano di valutare se la patch +debba essere applicata su kernel più vecchi, i cacciatori di bachi che si +chiederanno se la patch è la causa di un problema che stanno cercando, +gli utenti che vogliono sapere com'è cambiato il kernel, e molti altri. +Un buon changelog fornisce le informazioni necessarie a tutte queste +persone nel modo più diretto e conciso possibile. + +A questo scopo, la riga riassuntiva dovrebbe descrivere gli effetti della +modifica e la motivazione della patch nel modo migliore possibile nonostante +il limite di una sola riga. La descrizione dettagliata può spiegare meglio +i temi e fornire maggiori informazioni. Se una patch corregge un baco, +citate, se possibile, il commit che lo introdusse (e per favore, quando +citate un commit aggiungete sia il suo identificativo che il titolo), +Se il problema è associabile ad un file di log o all' output del compilatore, +includeteli al fine d'aiutare gli altri a trovare soluzioni per lo stesso +problema. Se la modifica ha lo scopo di essere di supporto a sviluppi +successivi, ditelo. Se le API interne vengono cambiate, dettagliate queste +modifiche e come gli altri dovrebbero agire per applicarle. In generale, +più riuscirete ad entrare nei panni di tutti quelli che leggeranno il +vostro changelog, meglio sarà il changelog (e il kernel nel suo insieme). + +Non serve dirlo, un changelog dovrebbe essere il testo usato nel messaggio +di commit in un sistema di controllo di versione. Sarà seguito da: + + - La patch stessa, nel formato unificato per patch ("-u"). Usare + l'opzione "-p" assocerà alla modifica il nome della funzione alla quale + si riferisce, rendendo il risultato più facile da leggere per gli altri. + +Dovreste evitare di includere nelle patch delle modifiche per file +irrilevanti (quelli generati dal processo di generazione, per esempio, o i file +di backup del vostro editor). Il file "dontdiff" nella cartella Documentation +potrà esservi d'aiuto su questo punto; passatelo a diff con l'opzione "-X". + +Le etichette sopra menzionante sono usate per descrivere come i vari +sviluppatori sono stati associati allo sviluppo di una patch. Sono descritte +in dettaglio nel documento :ref:`translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>`; +quello che segue è un breve riassunto. Ognuna di queste righe ha il seguente +formato: + +:: + + tag: Full Name <email address> optional-other-stuff + +Le etichette in uso più comuni sono: + + - Signed-off-by: questa è la certificazione che lo sviluppatore ha il diritto + di sottomettere la patch per l'integrazione nel kernel. Questo rappresenta + il consenso verso il certificato d'origine degli sviluppatori, il testo + completo potrà essere trovato in + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>`. + Codice che non presenta una firma appropriata non potrà essere integrato. + + - Co-developed-by: indica che la patch è stata sviluppata anche da un altro + sviluppatore assieme all'autore originale. Questo è utile quando più + persone lavorano sulla stessa patch. Da notare che questa persona deve + avere anche una riga "Signed-off-by:" nella patch. + + - Acked-by: indica il consenso di un altro sviluppatore (spesso il manutentore + del codice in oggetto) all'integrazione della patch nel kernel. + + - Tested-by: menziona la persona che ha verificato la patch e l'ha trovata + funzionante. + + - Reviwed-by: menziona lo sviluppatore che ha revisionato la patch; per + maggiori dettagli leggete la dichiarazione dei revisori in + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>` + + - Reported-by: menziona l'utente che ha riportato il problema corretto da + questa patch; quest'etichetta viene usata per dare credito alle persone + che hanno verificato il codice e ci hanno fatto sapere quando le cose non + funzionavano correttamente. + + - Cc: la persona menzionata ha ricevuto una copia della patch ed ha avuto + l'opportunità di commentarla. + +State attenti ad aggiungere queste etichette alla vostra patch: solo +"Cc:" può essere aggiunta senza il permesso esplicito della persona menzionata. + +Inviare la modifica +------------------- + +Prima di inviare la vostra patch, ci sarebbero ancora un paio di cose di cui +dovreste aver cura: + + - Siete sicuri che il vostro programma di posta non corromperà le patch? + Le patch che hanno spazi bianchi in libertà o andate a capo aggiunti + dai programmi di posta non funzioneranno per chi le riceve, e spesso + non verranno nemmeno esaminate in dettaglio. Se avete un qualsiasi dubbio, + inviate la patch a voi stessi e verificate che sia integra. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/email-clients.rst <it_email_clients>` + contiene alcuni suggerimenti utili sulla configurazione dei programmi + di posta al fine di inviare patch. + + - Siete sicuri che la vostra patch non contenga sciocchi errori? Dovreste + sempre processare le patch con scripts/checkpatch.pl e correggere eventuali + problemi riportati. Per favore tenete ben presente che checkpatch.pl non è + più intelligente di voi, nonostante sia il risultato di un certa quantità di + ragionamenti su come debba essere una patch per il kernel. Se seguire + i suggerimenti di checkpatch.pl rende il codice peggiore, allora non fatelo. + +Le patch dovrebbero essere sempre inviate come testo puro. Per favore non +inviatele come allegati; questo rende molto più difficile, per i revisori, +citare parti della patch che si vogliono commentare. Invece, mettete la vostra +patch direttamente nel messaggio. + +Quando inviate le patch, è importante inviarne una copia a tutte le persone che +potrebbero esserne interessate. Al contrario di altri progetti, il kernel +incoraggia le persone a peccare nell'invio di tante copie; non presumente che +le persone interessate vedano i vostri messaggi sulla lista di discussione. +In particolare le copie dovrebbero essere inviate a: + + - I manutentori dei sottosistemi affetti della modifica. Come descritto + in precedenza, il file MAINTAINERS è il primo luogo dove cercare i nomi + di queste persone. + + - Altri sviluppatori che hanno lavorato nello stesso ambiente - specialmente + quelli che potrebbero lavorarci proprio ora. Usate git potrebbe essere + utile per vedere chi altri ha modificato i file su cui state lavorando. + + - Se state rispondendo a un rapporto su un baco, o a una richiesta di + funzionalità, includete anche gli autori di quei rapporti/richieste. + + - Inviate una copia alle liste di discussione interessate, o, se nient'altro + è adatto, alla lista linux-kernel + + - Se state correggendo un baco, pensate se la patch dovrebbe essere inclusa + nel prossimo rilascio stabile. Se è così, la lista di discussione + stable@vger.kernel.org dovrebbe riceverne una copia. Aggiungete anche + l'etichetta "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" nella patch stessa; questo + permetterà alla squadra *stable* di ricevere una notifica quando questa + correzione viene integrata nel ramo principale. + +Quando scegliete i destinatari della patch, è bene avere un'idea di chi +pensiate che sia colui che, eventualmente, accetterà la vostra patch e +la integrerà. Nonostante sia possibile inviare patch direttamente a +Linus Torvalds, e lasciare che sia lui ad integrarle,solitamente non è la +strada migliore da seguire. Linus è occupato, e ci sono dei manutentori di +sotto-sistema che controllano una parte specifica del kernel. Solitamente, +vorreste che siano questi manutentori ad integrare le vostre patch. Se non +c'è un chiaro manutentore, l'ultima spiaggia è spesso Andrew Morton. + +Le patch devono avere anche un buon oggetto. Il tipico formato per l'oggetto +di una patch assomiglia a questo: + +:: + + [PATCH nn/mm] subsys: one-line description of the patch + +dove "nn" è il numero ordinale della patch, "mm" è il numero totale delle patch +nella serie, e "subsys" è il nome del sottosistema interessato. Chiaramente, +nn/mm può essere omesso per una serie composta da una singola patch. + +Se avete una significative serie di patch, è prassi inviare una descrizione +introduttiva come parte zero. Tuttavia questa convenzione non è universalmente +seguita; se la usate, ricordate che le informazioni nell'introduzione non +faranno parte del changelog del kernel. Quindi per favore, assicuratevi che +ogni patch abbia un changelog completo. + +In generale, la seconda parte e quelle successive di una patch "composta" +dovrebbero essere inviate come risposta alla prima, cosicché vengano viste +come un unico *thread*. Strumenti come git e quilt hanno comandi per inviare +gruppi di patch con la struttura appropriata. Se avete una serie lunga +e state usando git, per favore state alla larga dall'opzione --chain-reply-to +per evitare di creare un annidamento eccessivo. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/6.Followthrough.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/6.Followthrough.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..df7d5fb28832 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/6.Followthrough.rst @@ -0,0 +1,240 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/6.Followthrough.rst <development_followthrough>` +:Translator: Alessia Mantegazza <amantegazza@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_followthrough: + +============= +Completamento +============= + +A questo punto, avete seguito le linee guida fino a questo punto e, con +l'aggiunta delle vostre capacità ingegneristiche, avete pubblicato una serie +perfetta di patch. Uno dei più grandi errori che possono essere commessi +persino da sviluppatori kernel esperti è quello di concludere che il +lavoro sia ormai finito. In verità, la pubblicazione delle patch +simboleggia una transizione alla fase successiva del processo, con, +probabilmente, ancora un po' di lavoro da fare. + +È raro che una modifica sia così bella alla sua prima pubblicazione che non +ci sia alcuno spazio di miglioramento. Il programma di sviluppo del kernel +riconosce questo fatto e quindi, è fortemente orientato al miglioramento +del codice pubblicato. Voi, in qualità di autori del codice, dovrete +lavorare con la comunità del kernel per assicurare che il vostro codice +mantenga gli standard qualitativi richiesti. Un fallimento in questo +processo è quasi come impedire l'inclusione delle vostre patch nel +ramo principale. + +Lavorare con i revisori +======================= + +Una patch che abbia una certa rilevanza avrà ricevuto numerosi commenti +da parte di altri sviluppatori dato che avranno revisionato il codice. +Lavorare con i revisori può rivelarsi, per molti sviluppatori, la parte +più intimidatoria del processo di sviluppo del kernel. La vita può esservi +resa molto più facile se tenete presente alcuni dettagli: + + - Se avete descritto la vostra modifica correttamente, i revisori ne + comprenderanno il valore e il perché vi siete presi il disturbo di + scriverla. Ma tale valore non li tratterrà dal porvi una domanda + fondamentale: come verrà mantenuto questo codice nel kernel nei prossimi + cinque o dieci anni? Molti dei cambiamenti che potrebbero esservi + richiesti - da piccoli problemi di stile a sostanziali ristesure - + vengono dalla consapevolezza che Linux resterà in circolazione e in + continuo sviluppo ancora per diverse decadi. + + - La revisione del codice è un duro lavoro, ed è un mestiere poco + riconosciuto; le persone ricordano chi ha scritto il codice, ma meno + fama è attribuita a chi lo ha revisionato. Quindi i revisori potrebbero + divenire burberi, specialmente quando vendono i medesimi errori venire + fatti ancora e ancora. Se ricevete una revisione che vi sembra abbia + un tono arrabbiato, insultante o addirittura offensivo, resistente alla + tentazione di rispondere a tono. La revisione riguarda il codice e non + la persona, e i revisori non vi stanno attaccando personalmente. + + - Similarmente, i revisori del codice non stanno cercando di promuovere + i loro interessi a vostre spese. Gli sviluppatori del kernel spesso si + aspettano di lavorare sul kernel per anni, ma sanno che il loro datore + di lavoro può cambiare. Davvero, senza praticamente eccezioni, loro + stanno lavorando per la creazione del miglior kernel possibile; non + stanno cercando di creare un disagio ad aziende concorrenti. + +Quello che si sta cercando di dire è che, quando i revisori vi inviano degli +appunti dovete fare attenzione alle osservazioni tecniche che vi stanno +facendo. Non lasciate che il loro modo di esprimersi o il vostro orgoglio +impediscano che ciò accada. Quando avete dei suggerimenti sulla revisione, +prendetevi il tempo per comprendere cosa il revisore stia cercando di +comunicarvi. Se possibile, sistemate le cose che il revisore vi chiede di +modificare. E rispondete al revisore ringraziandolo e spiegando come +intendete fare. + +Notate che non dovete per forza essere d'accordo con ogni singola modifica +suggerita dai revisori. Se credete che il revisore non abbia compreso +il vostro codice, spiegateglielo. Se avete un'obiezione tecnica da fargli +su di una modifica suggerita, spiegatela inserendo anche la vostra soluzione +al problema. Se la vostra spiegazione ha senso, il revisore la accetterà. +Tuttavia, la vostra motivazione potrebbe non essere del tutto persuasiva, +specialmente se altri iniziano ad essere d'accordo con il revisore. +Prendetevi quindi un po' di tempo per pensare ancora alla cosa. Può risultare +facile essere accecati dalla propria soluzione al punto che non realizzate che +c'è qualcosa di fondamentalmente sbagliato o, magari, non state nemmeno +risolvendo il problema giusto. + +Andrew Morton suggerisce che ogni suggerimento di revisione che non è +presente nella modifica del codice dovrebbe essere inserito in un commento +aggiuntivo; ciò può essere d'aiuto ai futuri revisori nell'evitare domande +che sorgono al primo sguardo. + +Un errore fatale è quello di ignorare i commenti di revisione nella speranza +che se ne andranno. Non andranno via. Se pubblicherete nuovamente il +codice senza aver risposto ai commenti ricevuti, probabilmente le vostre +modifiche non andranno da nessuna parte. + +Parlando di ripubblicazione del codice: per favore tenete a mente che i +revisori non ricorderanno tutti i dettagli del codice che avete pubblicato +l'ultima volta. Quindi è sempre una buona idea quella di ricordare ai +revisori le questioni sollevate precedetemene e come le avete risolte. +I revisori non dovrebbero star lì a cercare all'interno degli archivi per +famigliarizzare con ciò che è stato detto l'ultima volta; se li aiutate +in questo senso, saranno di umore migliore quando riguarderanno il vostro +codice. + +Se invece avete cercato di far tutto correttamente ma le cose continuano +a non andar bene? Molti disaccordi di natura tecnica possono essere risolti +attraverso la discussione, ma ci sono volte dove qualcuno deve prendere +una decisione. Se credete veramente che tale decisione andrà contro di voi +ingiustamente, potete sempre tentare di rivolgervi a qualcuno più +in alto di voi. Per cose di questo genere la persona con più potere è +Andrew Morton. Andrew è una figura molto rispettata all'interno della +comunità di sviluppo del kernel; lui può spesso sbrogliare situazioni che +sembrano irrimediabilmente bloccate. Rivolgersi ad Andrew non deve essere +fatto alla leggera, e non deve essere fatto prima di aver esplorato tutte +le altre alternative. E tenete a mente, ovviamente, che nemmeno lui +potrebbe non essere d'accordo con voi. + +Cosa accade poi +=============== + +Se la modifica è ritenuta un elemento valido da essere aggiunta al kernel, +e una volta che la maggior parte degli appunti dei revisori sono stati +sistemati, il passo successivo solitamente è quello di entrare in un +sottosistema gestito da un manutentore. Come ciò avviene dipende dal +sottosistema medesimo; ogni manutentore ha il proprio modo di fare le cose. +In particolare, ci potrebbero essere diversi sorgenti - uno, magari, dedicato +alle modifiche pianificate per la finestra di fusione successiva, e un altro +per il lavoro di lungo periodo. + +Per le modifiche proposte in aree per le quali non esiste un sottosistema +preciso (modifiche di gestione della memoria, per esempio), i sorgenti di +ripiego finiscono per essere -mm. Ed anche le modifiche che riguardano +più sottosistemi possono finire in quest'ultimo. + +L'inclusione nei sorgenti di un sottosistema può comportare per una patch, +un alto livello di visibilità. Ora altri sviluppatori che stanno lavorando +in quei medesimi sorgenti avranno le vostre modifiche. I sottosistemi +solitamente riforniscono anche Linux-next, rendendo i propri contenuti +visibili all'intera comunità di sviluppo. A questo punto, ci sono buone +possibilità per voi di ricevere ulteriori commenti da un nuovo gruppo di +revisori; anche a questi commenti dovrete rispondere come avete già fatto per +gli altri. + +Ciò che potrebbe accadere a questo punto, in base alla natura della vostra +modifica, riguarda eventuali conflitti con il lavoro svolto da altri. +Nella peggiore delle situazioni, i conflitti più pesanti tra modifiche possono +concludersi con la messa a lato di alcuni dei lavori svolti cosicché le +modifiche restanti possano funzionare ed essere integrate. Altre volte, la +risoluzione dei conflitti richiederà del lavoro con altri sviluppatori e, +possibilmente, lo spostamento di alcune patch da dei sorgenti a degli altri +in modo da assicurare che tutto sia applicato in modo pulito. Questo lavoro +può rivelarsi una spina nel fianco, ma consideratevi fortunati: prima +dell'avvento dei sorgenti linux-next, questi conflitti spesso emergevano solo +durante l'apertura della finestra di integrazione e dovevano essere smaltiti +in fretta. Ora essi possono essere risolti comodamente, prima dell'apertura +della finestra. + +Un giorno, se tutto va bene, vi collegherete e vedrete che la vostra patch +è stata inserita nel ramo principale de kernel. Congratulazioni! Terminati +i festeggiamenti (nel frattempo avrete inserito il vostro nome nel file +MAINTAINERS) vale la pena ricordare una piccola cosa, ma importante: il +lavoro non è ancora finito. L'inserimento nel ramo principale porta con se +nuove sfide. + +Cominciamo con il dire che ora la visibilità della vostra modifica è +ulteriormente cresciuta. Ci potrebbe portare ad una nuova fase di +commenti dagli sviluppatori che non erano ancora a conoscenza della vostra +patch. Ignorarli potrebbe essere allettante dato che non ci sono più +dubbi sull'integrazione della modifica. Resistete a tale tentazione, dovete +mantenervi disponibili agli sviluppatori che hanno domande o suggerimenti +per voi. + +Ancora più importante: l'inclusione nel ramo principale mette il vostro +codice nelle mani di un gruppo di *tester* molto più esteso. Anche se avete +contribuito ad un driver per un hardware che non è ancora disponibile, sarete +sorpresi da quante persone inseriranno il vostro codice nei loro kernel. +E, ovviamente, dove ci sono *tester*, ci saranno anche dei rapporti su +eventuali bachi. + +La peggior specie di rapporti sono quelli che indicano delle regressioni. +Se la vostra modifica causa una regressione, avrete un gran numero di +occhi puntati su di voi; la regressione deve essere sistemata il prima +possibile. Se non vorrete o non sarete capaci di sistemarla (e nessuno +lo farà per voi), la vostra modifica sarà quasi certamente rimossa durante +la fase di stabilizzazione. Oltre alla perdita di tutto il lavoro svolto +per far si che la vostra modifica fosse inserita nel ramo principale, +l'avere una modifica rimossa a causa del fallimento nel sistemare una +regressione, potrebbe rendere più difficile per voi far accettare +il vostro lavoro in futuro. + +Dopo che ogni regressione è stata affrontata, ci potrebbero essere altri +bachi ordinari da "sconfiggere". Il periodo di stabilizzazione è la +vostra migliore opportunità per sistemare questi bachi e assicurarvi che +il debutto del vostro codice nel ramo principale del kernel sia il più solido +possibile. Quindi, per favore, rispondete ai rapporti sui bachi e ponete +rimedio, se possibile, a tutti i problemi. È a questo che serve il periodo +di stabilizzazione; potete iniziare creando nuove fantastiche modifiche +una volta che ogni problema con le vecchie sia stato risolto. + +Non dimenticate che esistono altre pietre miliari che possono generare +rapporti sui bachi: il successivo rilascio stabile, quando una distribuzione +importante usa una versione del kernel nel quale è presente la vostra +modifica, eccetera. Il continuare a rispondere a questi rapporti è fonte di +orgoglio per il vostro lavoro. Se questa non è una sufficiente motivazione, +allora, è anche consigliabile considera che la comunità di sviluppo ricorda +gli sviluppatori che hanno perso interesse per il loro codice una volta +integrato. La prossima volta che pubblicherete una patch, la comunità +la valuterà anche sulla base del fatto che non sarete disponibili a +prendervene cura anche nel futuro. + + +Altre cose che posso accadere +============================= + +Un giorno, potreste aprire la vostra email e vedere che qualcuno vi ha +inviato una patch per il vostro codice. Questo, dopo tutto, è uno dei +vantaggi di avere il vostro codice "là fuori". Se siete d'accordo con +la modifica, potrete anche inoltrarla ad un manutentore di sottosistema +(assicuratevi di includere la riga "From:" cosicché l'attribuzione sia +corretta, e aggiungete una vostra firma "Signed-off-by"), oppure inviate +un "Acked-by:" e lasciate che l'autore originale la invii. + +Se non siete d'accordo con la patch, inviate una risposta educata +spiegando il perché. Se possibile, dite all'autore quali cambiamenti +servirebbero per rendere la patch accettabile da voi. C'è una certa +riluttanza nell'inserire modifiche con un conflitto fra autore +e manutentore del codice, ma solo fino ad un certo punto. Se siete visti +come qualcuno che blocca un buon lavoro senza motivo, quelle patch vi +passeranno oltre e andranno nel ramo principale in ogni caso. Nel kernel +Linux, nessuno ha potere di veto assoluto su alcun codice. Eccezione +fatta per Linus, forse. + +In rarissime occasioni, potreste vedere qualcosa di completamente diverso: +un altro sviluppatore che pubblica una soluzione differente al vostro +problema. A questo punto, c'è una buona probabilità che una delle due +modifiche non verrà integrata, e il "c'ero prima io" non è considerato +un argomento tecnico rilevante. Se la modifica di qualcun'altro rimpiazza +la vostra ed entra nel ramo principale, esiste un unico modo di reagire: +siate contenti che il vostro problema sia stato risolto e andate avanti con +il vostro lavoro. L'avere un vostro lavoro spintonato da parte in questo +modo può essere avvilente e scoraggiante, ma la comunità ricorderà come +avrete reagito anche dopo che avrà dimenticato quale fu la modifica accettata. diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/7.AdvancedTopics.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/7.AdvancedTopics.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..cc1cff5d23ae --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/7.AdvancedTopics.rst @@ -0,0 +1,191 @@ +.. include:: ../disclaimer-ita.rst + +:Original: :ref:`Documentation/process/7.AdvancedTopics.rst <development_advancedtopics>` +:Translator: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@vaga.pv.it> + +.. _it_development_advancedtopics: + +Argomenti avanzati +================== + +A questo punto, si spera, dovreste avere un'idea su come funziona il processo +di sviluppo. Ma rimane comunque molto da imparare! Questo capitolo copre +alcuni argomenti che potrebbero essere utili per gli sviluppatori che stanno +per diventare parte integrante del processo di sviluppo del kernel. + +Gestire le modifiche con git +----------------------------- + +L'uso di un sistema distribuito per il controllo delle versioni del kernel +ebbe iniziò nel 2002 quando Linux iniziò a provare il programma proprietario +BitKeeper. Nonostante l'uso di BitKeeper fosse opinabile, di certo il suo +approccio alla gestione dei sorgenti non lo era. Un sistema distribuito per +il controllo delle versioni accelerò immediatamente lo sviluppo del kernel. +Oggigiorno, ci sono diverse alternative libere a BitKeeper. Per il meglio o il +peggio, il progetto del kernel ha deciso di usare git per gestire i sorgenti. + +Gestire le modifiche con git può rendere la vita dello sviluppatore molto +più facile, specialmente quando il volume delle modifiche cresce. +Git ha anche i suoi lati taglienti che possono essere pericolosi; è uno +strumento giovane e potente che è ancora in fase di civilizzazione da parte +dei suoi sviluppatori. Questo documento non ha lo scopo di insegnare l'uso +di git ai suoi lettori; ci sarebbe materiale a sufficienza per un lungo +documento al riguardo. Invece, qui ci concentriamo in particolare su come +git è parte del processo di sviluppo del kernel. Gli sviluppatori che +desiderassero diventare agili con git troveranno più informazioni ai +seguenti indirizzi: + + http://git-scm.com/ + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html + +e su varie guide che potrete trovare su internet. + +La prima cosa da fare prima di usarlo per produrre patch che saranno +disponibili ad altri, è quella di leggere i siti qui sopra e di acquisire una +base solida su come funziona git. Uno sviluppatore che sappia usare git +dovrebbe essere capace di ottenere una copia del repositorio principale, +esplorare la storia della revisione, registrare le modifiche, usare i rami, +eccetera. Una certa comprensione degli strumenti git per riscrivere la storia +(come ``rebase``) è altrettanto utile. Git ha i propri concetti e la propria +terminologia; un nuovo utente dovrebbe conoscere *refs*, *remote branch*, +*index*, *fast-forward merge*, *push* e *pull*, *detached head*, eccetera. +Il tutto potrebbe essere un po' intimidatorio visto da fuori, ma con un po' +di studio i concetti non saranno così difficili da capire. + +Utilizzare git per produrre patch da sottomettere via email può essere +un buon esercizio da fare mentre si sta prendendo confidenza con lo strumento. + +Quando sarete in grado di creare rami git che siano guardabili da altri, +vi servirà, ovviamente, un server dal quale sia possibile attingere le vostre +modifiche. Se avete un server accessibile da Internet, configurarlo per +eseguire git-daemon è relativamente semplice . Altrimenti, iniziano a +svilupparsi piattaforme che offrono spazi pubblici, e gratuiti (Github, +per esempio). Gli sviluppatori permanenti possono ottenere un account +su kernel.org, ma non è proprio facile da ottenere; per maggiori informazioni +consultate la pagina web http://kernel.org/faq/. + +In git è normale avere a che fare con tanti rami. Ogni linea di sviluppo +può essere separata in "rami per argomenti" e gestiti indipendentemente. +In git i rami sono facilissimi, per cui non c'è motivo per non usarli +in libertà. In ogni caso, non dovreste sviluppare su alcun ramo dal +quale altri potrebbero attingere. I rami disponibili pubblicamente dovrebbero +essere creati con attenzione; integrate patch dai rami di sviluppo +solo quando sono complete e pronte ad essere consegnate - non prima. + +Git offre alcuni strumenti che vi permettono di riscrivere la storia del +vostro sviluppo. Una modifica errata (diciamo, una che rompe la bisezione, +oppure che ha un qualche tipo di baco evidente) può essere corretta sul posto +o fatta sparire completamente dalla storia. Una serie di patch può essere +riscritta come se fosse stata scritta in cima al ramo principale di oggi, +anche se ci avete lavorato per mesi. Le modifiche possono essere spostate +in modo trasparente da un ramo ad un altro. E così via. Un uso giudizioso +di git per revisionare la storia può aiutare nella creazione di una serie +di patch pulite e con meno problemi. + +Un uso eccessivo può portare ad altri tipi di problemi, tuttavia, oltre +alla semplice ossessione per la creazione di una storia del progetto che sia +perfetta. Riscrivere la storia riscriverà le patch contenute in quella +storia, trasformando un kernel verificato (si spera) in uno da verificare. +Ma, oltre a questo, gli sviluppatori non possono collaborare se non condividono +la stessa vista sulla storia del progetto; se riscrivete la storia dalla quale +altri sviluppatori hanno attinto per i loro repositori, renderete la loro vita +molto più difficile. Quindi tenete conto di questa semplice regola generale: +la storia che avete esposto ad altri, generalmente, dovrebbe essere vista come +immutabile. + +Dunque, una volta che il vostro insieme di patch è stato reso disponibile +pubblicamente non dovrebbe essere più sovrascritto. Git tenterà di imporre +questa regola, e si rifiuterà di pubblicare nuove patch che non risultino +essere dirette discendenti di quelle pubblicate in precedenza (in altre parole, +patch che non condividono la stessa storia). È possibile ignorare questo +controllo, e ci saranno momenti in cui sarà davvero necessario riscrivere +un ramo già pubblicato. Un esempio è linux-next dove le patch vengono +spostate da un ramo all'altro al fine di evitare conflitti. Ma questo tipo +d'azione dovrebbe essere un'eccezione. Questo è uno dei motivi per cui lo +sviluppo dovrebbe avvenire in rami privati (che possono essere sovrascritti +quando lo si ritiene necessario) e reso pubblico solo quando è in uno stato +avanzato. + +Man mano che il ramo principale (o altri rami su cui avete basato le +modifiche) avanza, diventa allettante l'idea di integrare tutte le patch +per rimanere sempre aggiornati. Per un ramo privato, il *rebase* può essere +un modo semplice per rimanere aggiornati, ma questa non è un'opzione nel +momento in cui il vostro ramo è stato esposto al mondo intero. +*Merge* occasionali possono essere considerati di buon senso, ma quando +diventano troppo frequenti confondono inutilmente la storia. La tecnica +suggerita in questi casi è quella di fare *merge* raramente, e più in generale +solo nei momenti di rilascio (per esempio gli -rc del ramo principale). +Se siete nervosi circa alcune patch in particolare, potete sempre fare +dei *merge* di test in un ramo privato. In queste situazioni git "rerere" +può essere utile; questo strumento si ricorda come i conflitti di *merge* +furono risolti in passato cosicché non dovrete fare lo stesso lavoro due volte. + +Una delle lamentele più grosse e ricorrenti sull'uso di strumenti come git +è il grande movimento di patch da un repositorio all'altro che rende +facile l'integrazione nel ramo principale di modifiche mediocri, il tutto +sotto il naso dei revisori. Gli sviluppatori del kernel tendono ad essere +scontenti quando vedono succedere queste cose; preparare un ramo git con +patch che non hanno ricevuto alcuna revisione o completamente avulse, potrebbe +influire sulla vostra capacita di proporre, in futuro, l'integrazione dei +vostri rami. Citando Linus + +:: + + Potete inviarmi le vostre patch, ma per far si che io integri una + vostra modifica da git, devo sapere che voi sappiate cosa state + facendo, e ho bisogno di fidarmi *senza* dover passare tutte + le modifiche manualmente una per una. + +(http://lwn.net/Articles/224135/). + +Per evitare queste situazioni, assicuratevi che tutte le patch in un ramo +siano strettamente correlate al tema delle modifiche; un ramo "driver fixes" +non dovrebbe fare modifiche al codice principale per la gestione della memoria. +E, più importante ancora, non usate un repositorio git per tentare di +evitare il processo di revisione. Pubblicate un sommario di quello che il +vostro ramo contiene sulle liste di discussione più opportune, e , quando +sarà il momento, richiedete che il vostro ramo venga integrato in linux-next. + +Se e quando altri inizieranno ad inviarvi patch per essere incluse nel +vostro repositorio, non dovete dimenticare di revisionarle. Inoltre +assicuratevi di mantenerne le informazioni di paternità; al riguardo git "am" +fa del suo meglio, ma potreste dover aggiungere una riga "From:" alla patch +nel caso in cui sia arrivata per vie traverse. + +Quando richiedete l'integrazione, siate certi di fornire tutte le informazioni: +dov'è il vostro repositorio, quale ramo integrare, e quali cambiamenti si +otterranno dall'integrazione. Il comando git request-pull può essere d'aiuto; +preparerà una richiesta nel modo in cui gli altri sviluppatori se l'aspettano, +e verificherà che vi siate ricordati di pubblicare quelle patch su un +server pubblico. + +Revisionare le patch +-------------------- + +Alcuni lettori potrebbero avere obiezioni sulla presenza di questa sezione +negli "argomenti avanzati" sulla base che anche gli sviluppatori principianti +dovrebbero revisionare le patch. É certamente vero che non c'è modo +migliore di imparare come programmare per il kernel che guardare il codice +pubblicato dagli altri. In aggiunta, i revisori sono sempre troppo pochi; +guardando il codice potete apportare un significativo contributo all'intero +processo. + +Revisionare il codice potrebbe risultare intimidatorio, specialmente per i +nuovi arrivati che potrebbero sentirsi un po' nervosi nel questionare +il codice - in pubblico - pubblicato da sviluppatori più esperti. Perfino +il codice scritto dagli sviluppatori più esperti può essere migliorato. +Forse il suggerimento migliore per i revisori (tutti) è questo: formulate +i commenti come domande e non come critiche. Chiedere "Come viene rilasciato +il *lock* in questo percorso?" funziona sempre molto meglio che +"qui la sincronizzazione è sbagliata". + +Diversi sviluppatori revisioneranno il codice con diversi punti di vista. +Alcuni potrebbero concentrarsi principalmente sullo stile del codice e se +alcune linee hanno degli spazio bianchi di troppo. Altri si chiederanno +se accettare una modifica interamente è una cosa positiva per il kernel +o no. E altri ancora si focalizzeranno sui problemi di sincronizzazione, +l'uso eccessivo di *stack*, problemi di sicurezza, duplicazione del codice +in altri contesti, documentazione, effetti negativi sulle prestazioni, cambi +all'ABI dello spazio utente, eccetera.

Si spera che abbia fornito un'utile comprensione d'insieme +di come il kernel Linux viene sviluppato e di come potete partecipare a +tale processo. + +Infine, quello che conta è partecipare. Qualsiasi progetto software +open-source non è altro che la somma di quello che i suoi contributori +mettono al suo interno. Il kernel Linux è cresciuto velocemente e bene +perché ha ricevuto il supporto di un impressionante gruppo di sviluppatori, +ognuno dei quali sta lavorando per renderlo migliore. Il kernel è un esempio +importante di cosa può essere fatto quando migliaia di persone lavorano +insieme verso un obiettivo comune. + +Il kernel può sempre beneficiare di una larga base di sviluppatori, tuttavia, +c'è sempre molto lavoro da fare. Ma, cosa non meno importante, molti degli +altri partecipanti all'ecosistema Linux possono trarre beneficio attraverso +il contributo al kernel. Inserire codice nel ramo principale è la chiave +per arrivare ad una qualità del codice più alta, bassa manutenzione e +bassi prezzi di distribuzione, alti livelli d'influenza sulla direzione +dello sviluppo del kernel, e molto altro. È una situazione nella quale +tutti coloro che sono coinvolti vincono.

Nonostante le chiamate di sistema +siano il punto di interazione fra spazio utente e kernel più tradizionale ed +ovvio, esistono altre possibilità - scegliete quella che meglio si adatta alle +vostra interfaccia. + + - Se le operazioni coinvolte possono rassomigliare a quelle di un filesystem, + allora potrebbe avere molto più senso la creazione di un nuovo filesystem o + dispositivo. Inoltre, questo rende più facile incapsulare la nuova + funzionalità in un modulo kernel piuttosto che essere sviluppata nel cuore + del kernel. + + - Se la nuova funzionalità prevede operazioni dove il kernel notifica + lo spazio utente su un avvenimento, allora restituire un descrittore + di file all'oggetto corrispondente permette allo spazio utente di + utilizzare ``poll``/``select``/``epoll`` per ricevere quelle notifiche. + - Tuttavia, le operazioni che non si sposano bene con operazioni tipo + :manpage:`read(2)`/:manpage:`write(2)` dovrebbero essere implementate + come chiamate :manpage:`ioctl(2)`, il che potrebbe portare ad un'API in + un qualche modo opaca. + + - Se dovete esporre solo delle informazioni sul sistema, un nuovo nodo in + sysfs (vedere ``Documentation/translations/it_IT/filesystems/sysfs.txt``) o + in procfs potrebbe essere sufficiente. Tuttavia, l'accesso a questi + meccanismi richiede che il filesystem sia montato, il che potrebbe non + essere sempre vero (per esempio, in ambienti come namespace/sandbox/chroot). + Evitate d'aggiungere nuove API in debugfs perché questo non viene + considerata un'interfaccia di 'produzione' verso lo spazio utente. + - Se l'operazione è specifica ad un particolare file o descrittore, allora + potrebbe essere appropriata l'aggiunta di un comando :manpage:`fcntl(2)`. + Tuttavia, :manpage:`fcntl(2)` è una chiamata di sistema multiplatrice che + nasconde una notevole complessità, quindi è ottima solo quando la nuova + funzione assomiglia a quelle già esistenti in :manpage:`fcntl(2)`, oppure + la nuova funzionalità è veramente semplice (per esempio, leggere/scrivere + un semplice flag associato ad un descrittore di file). + - Se l'operazione è specifica ad un particolare processo, allora + potrebbe essere appropriata l'aggiunta di un comando :manpage:`prctl(2)`. + Come per :manpage:`fcntl(2)`, questa chiamata di sistema è un complesso + multiplatore quindi è meglio usarlo per cose molto simili a quelle esistenti + nel comando ``prctl`` oppure per leggere/scrivere un semplice flag relativo + al processo. + + +Progettare l'API: pianificare le estensioni +------------------------------------------- + +Una nuova chiamata di sistema diventerà parte dell'API del kernel, e +dev'essere supportata per un periodo indefinito. Per questo, è davvero +un'ottima idea quella di discutere apertamente l'interfaccia sulla lista +di discussione del kernel, ed è altrettanto importante pianificarne eventuali +estensioni future. + +(Nella tabella delle chiamate di sistema sono disseminati esempi dove questo +non fu fatto, assieme ai corrispondenti aggiornamenti - +``eventfd``/``eventfd2``, ``dup2``/``dup3``, ``inotify_init``/``inotify_init1``, +``pipe``/``pipe2``, ``renameat``/``renameat2`` --quindi imparate dalla storia +del kernel e pianificate le estensioni fin dall'inizio) + +Per semplici chiamate di sistema che accettano solo un paio di argomenti, +il modo migliore di permettere l'estensibilità è quello di includere un +argomento *flags* alla chiamata di sistema. Per assicurarsi che i programmi +dello spazio utente possano usare in sicurezza *flags* con diverse versioni +del kernel, verificate se *flags* contiene un qualsiasi valore sconosciuto, +in qual caso rifiutate la chiamata di sistema (con ``EINVAL``):: + + if (flags & ~(THING_FLAG1 | THING_FLAG2 | THING_FLAG3)) + return -EINVAL; + +(Se *flags* non viene ancora utilizzato, verificate che l'argomento sia zero) + +Per chiamate di sistema più sofisticate che coinvolgono un numero più grande di +argomenti, il modo migliore è quello di incapsularne la maggior parte in una +struttura dati che verrà passata per puntatore. Questa struttura potrà +funzionare con future estensioni includendo un campo *size*:: + + struct xyzzy_params { + u32 size; /* userspace sets p->size = sizeof(struct xyzzy_params) */ + u32 param_1; + u64 param_2; + u64 param_3; + }; + +Fintanto che un qualsiasi campo nuovo, diciamo ``param_4``, è progettato per +offrire il comportamento precedente quando vale zero, allora questo permetterà +di gestire un conflitto di versione in entrambe le direzioni: + + - un vecchio kernel può gestire l'accesso di una versione moderna di un + programma in spazio utente verificando che la memoria oltre la dimensione + della struttura dati attesa sia zero (in pratica verificare che + ``param_4 == 0``). + - un nuovo kernel può gestire l'accesso di una versione vecchia di un + programma in spazio utente estendendo la struttura dati con zeri (in pratica + ``param_4 = 0``). + +Vedere :manpage:`perf_event_open(2)` e la funzione ``perf_copy_attr()`` (in +``kernel/events/core.c``) per un esempio pratico di questo approccio. + + +Progettare l'API: altre considerazioni +-------------------------------------- + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema permette allo spazio utente di fare +riferimento ad un oggetto del kernel, allora questa dovrebbe usare un +descrittore di file per accesso all'oggetto - non inventatevi nuovi tipi di +accesso da spazio utente quando il kernel ha già dei meccanismi e una semantica +ben definita per utilizzare i descrittori di file. + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema :manpage:`xyzzy(2)` ritorna un nuovo +descrittore di file, allora l'argomento *flags* dovrebbe includere un valore +equivalente a ``O_CLOEXEC`` per i nuovi descrittori. Questo rende possibile, +nello spazio utente, la chiusura della finestra temporale fra le chiamate a +``xyzzy()`` e ``fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)``, dove un inaspettato +``fork()`` o ``execve()`` potrebbe trasferire il descrittore al programma +eseguito (Comunque, resistete alla tentazione di riutilizzare il valore di +``O_CLOEXEC`` dato che è specifico dell'architettura e fa parte di una +enumerazione di flag ``O_*`` che è abbastanza ricca). + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema ritorna un nuovo descrittore di file, +dovreste considerare che significato avrà l'uso delle chiamate di sistema +della famiglia di :manpage:`poll(2)`. Rendere un descrittore di file pronto +per la lettura o la scrittura è il tipico modo del kernel per notificare lo +spazio utente circa un evento associato all'oggetto del kernel. + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema :manpage:`xyzzy(2)` ha un argomento +che è il percorso ad un file:: + + int sys_xyzzy(const char __user *path, ..., unsigned int flags); + +dovreste anche considerare se non sia più appropriata una versione +:manpage:`xyzzyat(2)`:: + + int sys_xyzzyat(int dfd, const char __user *path, ..., unsigned int flags); + +Questo permette più flessibilità su come lo spazio utente specificherà il file +in questione; in particolare, permette allo spazio utente di richiedere la +funzionalità su un descrittore di file già aperto utilizzando il *flag* +``AT_EMPTY_PATH``, in pratica otterremmo gratuitamente l'operazione +:manpage:`fxyzzy(3)`:: + + - xyzzyat(AT_FDCWD, path, ..., 0) is equivalent to xyzzy(path,...) + - xyzzyat(fd, "", ..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) is equivalent to fxyzzy(fd, ...) + +(Per maggiori dettagli sulla logica delle chiamate \*at(), leggete la pagina +man :manpage:`openat(2)`; per un esempio di AT_EMPTY_PATH, leggere la pagina +man :manpage:`fstatat(2)`). + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema :manpage:`xyzzy(2)` prevede un parametro +per descrivere uno scostamento all'interno di un file, usate ``loff_t`` come +tipo cosicché scostamenti a 64-bit potranno essere supportati anche su +architetture a 32-bit. + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema :manpage:`xyzzy(2)` prevede l'uso di +funzioni riservate, allora dev'essere gestita da un opportuno bit di privilegio +(verificato con una chiamata a ``capable()``), come descritto nella pagina man +:manpage:`capabilities(7)`. Scegliete un bit di privilegio già esistente per +gestire la funzionalità associata, ma evitate la combinazione di diverse +funzionalità vagamente collegate dietro lo stesso bit, in quanto va contro il +principio di *capabilities* di separare i poteri di root. In particolare, +evitate di aggiungere nuovi usi al fin-troppo-generico privilegio +``CAP_SYS_ADMIN``. + +Se la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema :manpage:`xyzzy(2)` manipola altri +processi oltre a quello chiamato, allora dovrebbe essere limitata (usando +la chiamata ``ptrace_may_access()``) di modo che solo un processo chiamante +con gli stessi permessi del processo in oggetto, o con i necessari privilegi, +possa manipolarlo. + +Infine, state attenti che in alcune architetture non-x86 la vita delle chiamate +di sistema con argomenti a 64-bit viene semplificata se questi argomenti +ricadono in posizioni dispari (pratica, i parametri 1, 3, 5); questo permette +l'uso di coppie contigue di registri a 32-bit. (Questo non conta se gli +argomenti sono parte di una struttura dati che viene passata per puntatore). + + +Proporre l'API +-------------- + +Al fine di rendere le nuove chiamate di sistema di facile revisione, è meglio +che dividiate le modifiche i pezzi separati. Questi dovrebbero includere +almeno le seguenti voci in *commit* distinti (ognuno dei quali sarà descritto +più avanti): + + - l'essenza dell'implementazione della chiamata di sistema, con i prototipi, + i numeri generici, le modifiche al Kconfig e l'implementazione *stub* di + ripiego. + - preparare la nuova chiamata di sistema per un'architettura specifica, + solitamente x86 (ovvero tutti: x86_64, x86_32 e x32). + - un programma di auto-verifica da mettere in ``tools/testing/selftests/`` + che mostri l'uso della chiamata di sistema. + - una bozza di pagina man per la nuova chiamata di sistema. Può essere + scritta nell'email di presentazione, oppure come modifica vera e propria + al repositorio delle pagine man. + +Le proposte di nuove chiamate di sistema, come ogni altro modifica all'API del +kernel, deve essere sottomessa alla lista di discussione +linux-api@vger.kernel.org. + + +Implementazione di chiamate di sistema generiche +------------------------------------------------ + +Il principale punto d'accesso alla vostra nuova chiamata di sistema +:manpage:`xyzzy(2)` verrà chiamato ``sys_xyzzy()``; ma, piuttosto che in modo +esplicito, lo aggiungerete tramite la macro ``SYSCALL_DEFINEn``. La 'n' +indica il numero di argomenti della chiamata di sistema; la macro ha come +argomento il nome della chiamata di sistema, seguito dalle coppie (tipo, nome) +per definire i suoi parametri. L'uso di questa macro permette di avere +i metadati della nuova chiamata di sistema disponibili anche per altri +strumenti. + +Il nuovo punto d'accesso necessita anche del suo prototipo di funzione in +``include/linux/syscalls.h``, marcato come asmlinkage di modo da abbinargli +il modo in cui quelle chiamate di sistema verranno invocate:: + + asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(...); + +Alcune architetture (per esempio x86) hanno le loro specifiche tabelle di +chiamate di sistema (syscall), ma molte altre architetture condividono una +tabella comune di syscall. Aggiungete alla lista generica la vostra nuova +chiamata di sistema aggiungendo un nuovo elemento alla lista in +``include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h``:: + + #define __NR_xyzzy 292 + __SYSCALL(__NR_xyzzy, sys_xyzzy) + +Aggiornate anche il contatore __NR_syscalls di modo che sia coerente con +l'aggiunta della nuove chiamate di sistema; va notato che se più di una nuova +chiamata di sistema viene aggiunga nella stessa finestra di sviluppo, il numero +della vostra nuova syscall potrebbe essere aggiustato al fine di risolvere i +conflitti. + +Il file ``kernel/sys_ni.c`` fornisce le implementazioni *stub* di ripiego che +ritornano ``-ENOSYS``. Aggiungete la vostra nuova chiamata di sistema anche +qui:: + + COND_SYSCALL(xyzzy); + +La vostra nuova funzionalità del kernel, e la chiamata di sistema che la +controlla, dovrebbero essere opzionali. Quindi, aggiungete un'opzione +``CONFIG`` (solitamente in ``init/Kconfig``). Come al solito per le nuove +opzioni ``CONFIG``: + + - Includete una descrizione della nuova funzionalità e della chiamata di + sistema che la controlla. + - Rendete l'opzione dipendente da EXPERT se dev'essere nascosta agli utenti + normali. + - Nel Makefile, rendere tutti i nuovi file sorgenti, che implementano la + nuova funzionalità, dipendenti dall'opzione CONFIG (per esempio + ``obj-$(CONFIG_XYZZY_SYSCALL) += xyzzy.o``). + - Controllate due volte che sia possibile generare il kernel con la nuova + opzione CONFIG disabilitata. + +Per riassumere, vi serve un *commit* che includa: + + - un'opzione ``CONFIG``per la nuova funzione, normalmente in ``init/Kconfig`` + - ``SYSCALL_DEFINEn(xyzzy, ...)`` per il punto d'accesso + - il corrispondente prototipo in ``include/linux/syscalls.h`` + - un elemento nella tabella generica in ``include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h`` + - *stub* di ripiego in ``kernel/sys_ni.c`` + + +Implementazione delle chiamate di sistema x86 +--------------------------------------------- + +Per collegare la vostra nuova chiamate di sistema alle piattaforme x86, +dovete aggiornate la tabella principale di syscall. Assumendo che la vostra +nuova chiamata di sistema non sia particolarmente speciale (vedere sotto), +dovete aggiungere un elemento *common* (per x86_64 e x32) in +arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl:: + + 333 common xyzzy sys_xyzzy + +e un elemento per *i386* ``arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl``:: + + 380 i386 xyzzy sys_xyzzy + +Ancora una volta, questi numeri potrebbero essere cambiati se generano +conflitti durante la finestra di integrazione. + + +Chiamate di sistema compatibili (generico) +------------------------------------------ + +Per molte chiamate di sistema, la stessa implementazione a 64-bit può essere +invocata anche quando il programma in spazio utente è a 32-bit; anche se la +chiamata di sistema include esplicitamente un puntatore, questo viene gestito +in modo trasparente. + +Tuttavia, ci sono un paio di situazione dove diventa necessario avere un +livello di gestione della compatibilità per risolvere le differenze di +dimensioni fra 32-bit e 64-bit. + +Il primo caso è quando un kernel a 64-bit supporta anche programmi in spazio +utente a 32-bit, perciò dovrà ispezionare aree della memoria (``__user``) che +potrebbero contenere valori a 32-bit o a 64-bit. In particolar modo, questo +è necessario quando un argomento di una chiamata di sistema è: + + - un puntatore ad un puntatore + - un puntatore ad una struttura dati contenente a sua volta un puntatore + ( ad esempio ``struct iovec __user *``) + - un puntatore ad un tipo intero di dimensione variabile (``time_t``, + ``off_t``, ``long``, ...) + - un puntatore ad una struttura dati contenente un tipo intero di dimensione + variabile. + +Il secondo caso che richiede un livello di gestione della compatibilità è +quando uno degli argomenti di una chiamata a sistema è esplicitamente un tipo +a 64-bit anche su architetture a 32-bit, per esempio ``loff_t`` o ``__u64``. +In questo caso, un valore che arriva ad un kernel a 64-bit da un'applicazione +a 32-bit verrà diviso in due valori a 32-bit che dovranno essere riassemblati +in questo livello di compatibilità. + +(Da notare che non serve questo livello di compatibilità per argomenti che +sono puntatori ad un tipo esplicitamente a 64-bit; per esempio, in +:manpage:`splice(2)` l'argomento di tipo ``loff_t __user *`` non necessita +di una chiamata di sistema ``compat_``) + +La versione compatibile della nostra chiamata di sistema si chiamerà +``compat_sys_xyzzy()``, e viene aggiunta utilizzando la macro +``COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEn()`` (simile a SYSCALL_DEFINEn). Questa versione +dell'implementazione è parte del kernel a 64-bit ma accetta parametri a 32-bit +che trasformerà secondo le necessità (tipicamente, la versione +``compat_sys_`` converte questi valori nello loro corrispondente a 64-bit e +può chiamare la versione ``sys_`` oppure invocare una funzione che implementa +le parti comuni). + +Il punto d'accesso *compat* deve avere il corrispondente prototipo di funzione +in ``include/linux/compat.h``, marcato come asmlinkage di modo da abbinargli +il modo in cui quelle chiamate di sistema verranno invocate:: + + asmlinkage long compat_sys_xyzzy(...); + +Se la chiamata di sistema prevede una struttura dati organizzata in modo +diverso per sistemi a 32-bit e per quelli a 64-bit, diciamo +``struct xyzzy_args``, allora il file d'intestazione +``then the include/linux/compat.h`` deve includere la sua versione +*compatibile* (``struct compat_xyzzy_args``); ogni variabile con +dimensione variabile deve avere il proprio tipo ``compat_`` corrispondente +a quello in ``struct xyzzy_args``. La funzione ``compat_sys_xyzzy()`` +può usare la struttura ``compat_`` per analizzare gli argomenti ricevuti +da una chiamata a 32-bit. + +Per esempio, se avete i seguenti campi:: + + struct xyzzy_args { + const char __user *ptr; + __kernel_long_t varying_val; + u64 fixed_val; + /* ... */ + }; + +nella struttura ``struct xyzzy_args``, allora la struttura +``struct compat_xyzzy_args`` dovrebbe avere:: + + struct compat_xyzzy_args { + compat_uptr_t ptr; + compat_long_t varying_val; + u64 fixed_val; + /* ... */ + }; + +La lista generica delle chiamate di sistema ha bisogno di essere +aggiustata al fine di permettere l'uso della versione *compatibile*; +la voce in ``include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h`` dovrebbero usare +``__SC_COMP`` piuttosto di ``__SYSCALL``:: + + #define __NR_xyzzy 292 + __SC_COMP(__NR_xyzzy, sys_xyzzy, compat_sys_xyzzy) + +Riassumendo, vi serve: + + - un ``COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEn(xyzzy, ...)`` per il punto d'accesso + *compatibile* + - un prototipo in ``include/linux/compat.h`` + - (se necessario) una struttura di compatibilità a 32-bit in + ``include/linux/compat.h`` + - una voce ``__SC_COMP``, e non ``__SYSCALL``, in + ``include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h`` + +Compatibilità delle chiamate di sistema (x86) +--------------------------------------------- + +Per collegare una chiamata di sistema, su un'architettura x86, con la sua +versione *compatibile*, è necessario aggiustare la voce nella tabella +delle syscall. + +Per prima cosa, la voce in ``arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl`` prende +un argomento aggiuntivo per indicare che un programma in spazio utente +a 32-bit, eseguito su un kernel a 64-bit, dovrebbe accedere tramite il punto +d'accesso compatibile:: + + 380 i386 xyzzy sys_xyzzy __ia32_compat_sys_xyzzy + +Secondo, dovete capire cosa dovrebbe succedere alla nuova chiamata di sistema +per la versione dell'ABI x32. Qui C'è una scelta da fare: gli argomenti +possono corrisponde alla versione a 64-bit o a quella a 32-bit. + +Se c'è un puntatore ad un puntatore, la decisione è semplice: x32 è ILP32, +quindi gli argomenti dovrebbero corrispondere a quelli a 32-bit, e la voce in +``arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl`` sarà divisa cosicché i programmi +x32 eseguano la chiamata *compatibile*:: + + 333 64 xyzzy sys_xyzzy + ... + 555 x32 xyzzy __x32_compat_sys_xyzzy + +Se non ci sono puntatori, allora è preferibile riutilizzare la chiamata di +sistema a 64-bit per l'ABI x32 (e di conseguenza la voce in +arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl rimane immutata). + +In ambo i casi, dovreste verificare che i tipi usati dagli argomenti +abbiano un'esatta corrispondenza da x32 (-mx32) al loro equivalente a +32-bit (-m32) o 64-bit (-m64). + + +Chiamate di sistema che ritornano altrove +----------------------------------------- + +Nella maggior parte delle chiamate di sistema, al termine della loro +esecuzione, i programmi in spazio utente riprendono esattamente dal punto +in cui si erano interrotti -- quindi dall'istruzione successiva, con lo +stesso *stack* e con la maggior parte del registri com'erano stati +lasciati prima della chiamata di sistema, e anche con la stessa memoria +virtuale. + +Tuttavia, alcune chiamata di sistema fanno le cose in modo differente. +Potrebbero ritornare ad un punto diverso (``rt_sigreturn``) o cambiare +la memoria in spazio utente (``fork``/``vfork``/``clone``) o perfino +l'architettura del programma (``execve``/``execveat``). + +Per permettere tutto ciò, l'implementazione nel kernel di questo tipo di +chiamate di sistema potrebbero dover salvare e ripristinare registri +aggiuntivi nello *stack* del kernel, permettendo così un controllo completo +su dove e come l'esecuzione dovrà continuare dopo l'esecuzione della +chiamata di sistema. + +Queste saranno specifiche per ogni architettura, ma tipicamente si definiscono +dei punti d'accesso in *assembly* per salvare/ripristinare i registri +aggiuntivi e quindi chiamare il vero punto d'accesso per la chiamata di +sistema. + +Per l'architettura x86_64, questo è implementato come un punto d'accesso +``stub_xyzzy`` in ``arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S``, e la voce nella tabella +di syscall (``arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl``) verrà corretta di +conseguenza:: + + 333 common xyzzy stub_xyzzy + +L'equivalente per programmi a 32-bit eseguiti su un kernel a 64-bit viene +normalmente chiamato ``stub32_xyzzy`` e implementato in +``arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S`` con la corrispondente voce nella tabella +di syscall ``arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl`` corretta nel +seguente modo:: + + 380 i386 xyzzy sys_xyzzy stub32_xyzzy + +Se una chiamata di sistema necessita di un livello di compatibilità (come +nella sezione precedente), allora la versione ``stub32_`` deve invocare +la versione ``compat_sys_`` piuttosto che quella nativa a 64-bit. In aggiunta, +se l'implementazione dell'ABI x32 è diversa da quella x86_64, allora la sua +voce nella tabella di syscall dovrà chiamare uno *stub* che invoca la versione +``compat_sys_``, + +Per completezza, sarebbe carino impostare una mappatura cosicché +*user-mode* Linux (UML) continui a funzionare -- la sua tabella di syscall +farà riferimento a stub_xyzzy, ma UML non include l'implementazione +in ``arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S`` (perché UML simula i registri eccetera). +Correggerlo è semplice, basta aggiungere una #define in +``arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.c``:: + + #define stub_xyzzy sys_xyzzy + + +Altri dettagli +-------------- + +La maggior parte dei kernel tratta le chiamate di sistema allo stesso modo, +ma possono esserci rare eccezioni per le quali potrebbe essere necessario +l'aggiornamento della vostra chiamata di sistema. + +Il sotto-sistema di controllo (*audit subsystem*) è uno di questi casi +speciali; esso include (per architettura) funzioni che classificano alcuni +tipi di chiamate di sistema -- in particolare apertura dei file +(``open``/``openat``), esecuzione dei programmi (``execve``/``exeveat``) +oppure multiplatori di socket (``socketcall``). Se la vostra nuova chiamata +di sistema è simile ad una di queste, allora il sistema di controllo dovrebbe +essere aggiornato. + +Più in generale, se esiste una chiamata di sistema che è simile alla vostra, +vale la pena fare una ricerca con ``grep`` su tutto il kernel per la chiamata +di sistema esistente per verificare che non ci siano altri casi speciali. + + +Verifica +-------- + +Una nuova chiamata di sistema dev'essere, ovviamente, provata; è utile fornire +ai revisori un programma in spazio utente che mostri l'uso della chiamata di +sistema. Un buon modo per combinare queste cose è quello di aggiungere un +semplice programma di auto-verifica in una nuova cartella in +``tools/testing/selftests/``. + +Per una nuova chiamata di sistema, ovviamente, non ci sarà alcuna funzione +in libc e quindi il programma di verifica dovrà invocarla usando ``syscall()``; +inoltre, se la nuova chiamata di sistema prevede un nuova struttura dati +visibile in spazio utente, il file d'intestazione necessario dev'essere +installato al fine di compilare il programma. + +Assicuratevi che il programma di auto-verifica possa essere eseguito +correttamente su tutte le architetture supportate. Per esempio, verificate che +funzioni quando viene compilato per x86_64 (-m64), x86_32 (-m32) e x32 (-mx32). + +Al fine di una più meticolosa ed estesa verifica della nuova funzionalità, +dovreste considerare l'aggiunta di nuove verifica al progetto 'Linux Test', +oppure al progetto xfstests per cambiamenti relativi al filesystem. + + - https://linux-test-project.github.io/ + - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git + + +Pagine man +---------- + +Tutte le nuove chiamate di sistema dovrebbero avere una pagina man completa, +idealmente usando i marcatori groff, ma anche il puro testo può andare. Se +state usando groff, è utile che includiate nella email di presentazione una +versione già convertita in formato ASCII: semplificherà la vita dei revisori. + +Le pagine man dovrebbero essere in copia-conoscenza verso +linux-man@vger.kernel.org +Per maggiori dettagli, leggere +https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/patches.html + + +Non invocate chiamate di sistema dal kernel +------------------------------------------- + +Le chiamate di sistema sono, come già detto prima, punti di interazione fra +lo spazio utente e il kernel. Perciò, le chiamate di sistema come +``sys_xyzzy()`` o ``compat_sys_xyzzy()`` dovrebbero essere chiamate solo dallo +spazio utente attraverso la tabella syscall, ma non da nessun altro punto nel +kernel. Se la nuova funzionalità è utile all'interno del kernel, per esempio +dev'essere condivisa fra una vecchia e una nuova chiamata di sistema o +dev'essere utilizzata da una chiamata di sistema e la sua variante compatibile, +allora dev'essere implementata come una funzione di supporto +(*helper function*) (per esempio ``kern_xyzzy()``). Questa funzione potrà +essere chiamata dallo *stub* (``sys_xyzzy()``), dalla variante compatibile +(``compat_sys_xyzzy()``), e/o da altri parti del kernel. + +Sui sistemi x86 a 64-bit, a partire dalla versione v4.17 è un requisito +fondamentale quello di non invocare chiamate di sistema all'interno del kernel. +Esso usa una diversa convenzione per l'invocazione di chiamate di sistema dove +``struct pt_regs`` viene decodificata al volo in una funzione che racchiude +la chiamata di sistema la quale verrà eseguita successivamente. +Questo significa che verranno passati solo i parametri che sono davvero +necessari ad una specifica chiamata di sistema, invece che riempire ogni volta +6 registri del processore con contenuti presi dallo spazio utente (potrebbe +causare seri problemi nella sequenza di chiamate). + +Inoltre, le regole su come i dati possano essere usati potrebbero differire +fra il kernel e l'utente. Questo è un altro motivo per cui invocare +``sys_xyzzy()`` è generalmente una brutta idea. + +Eccezioni a questa regola vengono accettate solo per funzioni d'architetture +che surclassano quelle generiche, per funzioni d'architettura di compatibilità, +o per altro codice in arch/ + + +Riferimenti e fonti +------------------- + + -

Particolarmente utile quando si sposta del codice e lo si + allinea/ordina. Vedere it_clangformatreformat_. + + - Identificare errori di stile, refusi e possibili miglioramenti nei + file che mantieni, le modifiche che revisioni, le differenze, + eccetera.

Per farlo, +potete sovrascriverle scrivendole in un altro file ``.clang-format`` in +una sottocartella. + +Questo strumento è già stato incluso da molto tempo nelle distribuzioni +Linux più popolari. Cercate ``clang-format`` nel vostro repositorio. +Altrimenti, potete scaricare una versione pre-generata dei binari di LLVM/clang +oppure generarlo dai codici sorgenti: + + http://releases.llvm.org/download.html + +Troverete più informazioni ai seguenti indirizzi: + + https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html + + https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html + + +.. _it_clangformatreview: + +Revisionare lo stile di codifica per file e modifiche +----------------------------------------------------- + +Eseguendo questo programma, potrete revisionare un intero sottosistema, +cartella o singoli file alla ricerca di errori di stile, refusi o +miglioramenti. + +Per farlo, potete eseguire qualcosa del genere:: + + # Make sure your working directory is clean! + clang-format -i kernel/*.[ch] + +E poi date un'occhiata a *git diff*. + +Osservare le righe di questo diff è utile a migliorare/aggiustare +le opzioni di stile nel file di configurazione; così come per verificare +le nuove funzionalità/versioni di ``clang-format``. + +``clang-format`` è in grado di leggere diversi diff unificati, quindi +potrete revisionare facilmente delle modifiche e *git diff*. +La documentazione si trova al seguente indirizzo: + + https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html#script-for-patch-reformatting + +Per evitare che ``clang-format`` formatti alcune parti di un file, potete +scrivere nel codice:: + + int formatted_code; + // clang-format off + void unformatted_code ; + // clang-format on + void formatted_code_again; + +Nonostante si attraente l'idea di utilizzarlo per mantenere un file +sempre in sintonia con ``clang-format``, specialmente per file nuovi o +se siete un manutentore, ricordatevi che altre persone potrebbero usare +una versione diversa di ``clang-format`` oppure non utilizzarlo del tutto. +Quindi, dovreste trattenervi dall'usare questi marcatori nel codice del +kernel; almeno finché non vediamo che ``clang-format`` è diventato largamente +utilizzato. + + +.. _it_clangformatreformat: + +Riformattare blocchi di codice +------------------------------ + +Utilizzando dei plugin per il vostro editor, potete riformattare una +blocco (selezione) di codice con una singola combinazione di tasti. +Questo è particolarmente utile: quando si riorganizza il codice, per codice +complesso, macro multi-riga (e allineare le loro "barre"), eccetera. + +Ricordatevi che potete sempre aggiustare le modifiche in quei casi dove +questo strumento non ha fatto un buon lavoro. Ma come prima approssimazione, +può essere davvero molto utile. + +Questo programma si integra con molti dei più popolari editor. Alcuni di +essi come vim, emacs, BBEdit, Visaul Studio, lo supportano direttamente. +Al seguente indirizzo troverete le istruzioni: + + https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html + +Per Atom, Eclipse, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, XCode e altri editor +e IDEs dovreste essere in grado di trovare dei plugin pronti all'uso. + +Per questo caso d'uso, considerate l'uso di un secondo ``.clang-format`` +che potete personalizzare con le vostre opzioni. +Consultare it_clangformatextra_. + + +.. _it_clangformatmissing: + +Cose non supportate +------------------- + +``clang-format`` non ha il supporto per alcune cose che sono comuni nel +codice del kernel. Sono facili da ricordare; quindi, se lo usate +regolarmente, imparerete rapidamente a evitare/ignorare certi problemi. + +In particolare, quelli più comuni che noterete sono: + + - Allineamento di ``#define`` su una singola riga, per esempio:: + + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_DEFAULT 11 + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_MAX 17 + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_MIN 7 + + contro:: + + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_DEFAULT 11 + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_MAX 17 + #define TRACING_MAP_BITS_MIN 7 + + - Allineamento dei valori iniziali, per esempio:: + + static const struct file_operations uprobe_events_ops = { + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .open = probes_open, + .read = seq_read, + .llseek = seq_lseek, + .release = seq_release, + .write = probes_write, + }; + + contro:: + + static const struct file_operations uprobe_events_ops = { + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .open = probes_open, + .read = seq_read, + .llseek = seq_lseek, + .release = seq_release, + .write = probes_write, + }; + + +.. _it_clangformatextra: + +Funzionalità e opzioni aggiuntive +--------------------------------- + +Al fine di minimizzare le differenze fra il codice attuale e l'output +del programma, alcune opzioni di stile e funzionalità non sono abilitate +nella configurazione base.

Lo stile di codifica è molto personale e non voglio +**forzare** nessuno ad accettare il mio, ma questo stile è quello che +dev'essere usato per qualsiasi cosa che io sia in grado di mantenere, e l'ho +preferito anche per molte altre cose. Per favore, almeno tenete in +considerazione le osservazioni espresse qui. + +La prima cosa che suggerisco è quella di stamparsi una copia degli standard +di codifica GNU e di NON leggerla. Bruciatela, è un grande gesto simbolico. + +Comunque, ecco i punti: + +1) Indentazione +--------------- + +La tabulazione (tab) è di 8 caratteri e così anche le indentazioni. Ci sono +alcuni movimenti di eretici che vorrebbero l'indentazione a 4 (o perfino 2!) +caratteri di profondità, che è simile al tentativo di definire il valore del +pi-greco a 3. + +Motivazione: l'idea dell'indentazione è di definire chiaramente dove un blocco +di controllo inizia e finisce. Specialmente quando siete rimasti a guardare lo +schermo per 20 ore a file, troverete molto più facile capire i livelli di +indentazione se questi sono larghi. + +Ora, alcuni rivendicano che un'indentazione da 8 caratteri sposta il codice +troppo a destra e che quindi rende difficile la lettura su schermi a 80 +caratteri. La risposta a questa affermazione è che se vi servono più di 3 +livelli di indentazione, siete comunque fregati e dovreste correggere il vostro +programma. + +In breve, l'indentazione ad 8 caratteri rende più facile la lettura, e in +aggiunta vi avvisa quando state annidando troppo le vostre funzioni. +Tenete ben a mente questo avviso. + +Al fine di facilitare l'indentazione del costrutto switch, si preferisce +allineare sulla stessa colonna la parola chiave ``switch`` e i suoi +subordinati ``case``. In questo modo si evita una doppia indentazione per +i ``case``. Un esempio.: + +.. code-block:: c + + switch (suffix) { + case 'G': + case 'g': + mem <<= 30; + break; + case 'M': + case 'm': + mem <<= 20; + break; + case 'K': + case 'k': + mem <<= 10; + /* fall through */ + default: + break; + } + +A meno che non vogliate nascondere qualcosa, non mettete più istruzioni sulla +stessa riga: + +.. code-block:: c + + if (condition) do_this; + do_something_everytime; + +né mettete più assegnamenti sulla stessa riga. Lo stile del kernel +è ultrasemplice. Evitate espressioni intricate. + +Al di fuori dei commenti, della documentazione ed escludendo i Kconfig, gli +spazi non vengono mai usati per l'indentazione, e l'esempio qui sopra è +volutamente errato. + +Procuratevi un buon editor di testo e non lasciate spazi bianchi alla fine +delle righe. + + +2) Spezzare righe lunghe e stringhe +----------------------------------- + +Lo stile del codice riguarda la leggibilità e la manutenibilità utilizzando +strumenti comuni. + +Il limite delle righe è di 80 colonne e questo e un limite fortemente +desiderato. + +Espressioni più lunghe di 80 colonne saranno spezzettate in pezzi più piccoli, +a meno che eccedere le 80 colonne non aiuti ad aumentare la leggibilità senza +nascondere informazioni. I pezzi derivati sono sostanzialmente più corti degli +originali e vengono posizionati più a destra. Lo stesso si applica, nei file +d'intestazione, alle funzioni con una lista di argomenti molto lunga. Tuttavia, +non spezzettate mai le stringhe visibili agli utenti come i messaggi di +printk, questo perché inibireste la possibilità d'utilizzare grep per cercarle. + +3) Posizionamento di parentesi graffe e spazi +--------------------------------------------- + +Un altro problema che s'affronta sempre quando si parla di stile in C è +il posizionamento delle parentesi graffe. Al contrario della dimensione +dell'indentazione, non ci sono motivi tecnici sulla base dei quali scegliere +una strategia di posizionamento o un'altra; ma il modo qui preferito, +come mostratoci dai profeti Kernighan e Ritchie, è quello di +posizionare la parentesi graffa di apertura per ultima sulla riga, e quella +di chiusura per prima su una nuova riga, così: + +.. code-block:: c + + if (x is true) { + we do y + } + +Questo è valido per tutte le espressioni che non siano funzioni (if, switch, +for, while, do). Per esempio: + +.. code-block:: c + + switch (action) { + case KOBJ_ADD: + return "add"; + case KOBJ_REMOVE: + return "remove"; + case KOBJ_CHANGE: + return "change"; + default: + return NULL; + } + +Tuttavia, c'è il caso speciale, le funzioni: queste hanno la parentesi graffa +di apertura all'inizio della riga successiva, quindi: + +.. code-block:: c + + int function(int x) + { + body of function + } + +Eretici da tutto il mondo affermano che questa incoerenza è ... +insomma ... incoerente, ma tutte le persone ragionevoli sanno che (a) +K&R hanno **ragione** e (b) K&R hanno ragione. A parte questo, le funzioni +sono comunque speciali (non potete annidarle in C). + +Notate che la graffa di chiusura è da sola su una riga propria, ad +**eccezione** di quei casi dove è seguita dalla continuazione della stessa +espressione, in pratica ``while`` nell'espressione do-while, oppure ``else`` +nell'espressione if-else, come questo: + +.. code-block:: c + + do { + body of do-loop + } while (condition); + +e + +.. code-block:: c + + if (x == y) { + .. + } else if (x > y) { + ... + } else { + .... + } + +Motivazione: K&R. + +Inoltre, notate che questo posizionamento delle graffe minimizza il numero +di righe vuote senza perdere di leggibilità. In questo modo, dato che le +righe sul vostro schermo non sono una risorsa illimitata (pensate ad uno +terminale con 25 righe), avrete delle righe vuote da riempire con dei +commenti. + +Non usate inutilmente le graffe dove una singola espressione è sufficiente. + +.. code-block:: c + + if (condition) + action(); + +e + +.. code-block:: none + + if (condition) + do_this(); + else + do_that(); + +Questo non vale nel caso in cui solo un ramo dell'espressione if-else +contiene una sola espressione; in quest'ultimo caso usate le graffe per +entrambe i rami: + +.. code-block:: c + + if (condition) { + do_this(); + do_that(); + } else { + otherwise(); + } + +Inoltre, usate le graffe se un ciclo contiene più di una semplice istruzione: + +.. code-block:: c + + while (condition) { + if (test) + do_something(); + } + +3.1) Spazi +********** + +Lo stile del kernel Linux per quanto riguarda gli spazi, dipende +(principalmente) dalle funzioni e dalle parole chiave. Usate una spazio dopo +(quasi tutte) le parole chiave. L'eccezioni più evidenti sono sizeof, typeof, +alignof, e __attribute__, il cui aspetto è molto simile a quello delle +funzioni (e in Linux, solitamente, sono usate con le parentesi, anche se il +linguaggio non lo richiede; come ``sizeof info`` dopo aver dichiarato +``struct fileinfo info``). + +Quindi utilizzate uno spazio dopo le seguenti parole chiave:: + + if, switch, case, for, do, while + +ma non con sizeof, typeof, alignof, o __attribute__. Ad esempio, + +.. code-block:: c + + + s = sizeof(struct file); + +Non aggiungete spazi attorno (dentro) ad un'espressione fra parentesi. Questo +esempio è **brutto**: + +.. code-block:: c + + + s = sizeof( struct file ); + +Quando dichiarate un puntatore ad una variabile o una funzione che ritorna un +puntatore, il posto suggerito per l'asterisco ``*`` è adiacente al nome della +variabile o della funzione, e non adiacente al nome del tipo. Esempi: + +.. code-block:: c + + + char *linux_banner; + unsigned long long memparse(char *ptr, char **retptr); + char *match_strdup(substring_t *s); + +Usate uno spazio attorno (da ogni parte) alla maggior parte degli operatori +binari o ternari, come i seguenti:: + + = + - < > * / % | & ^ <= >= == != ? : + +ma non mettete spazi dopo gli operatori unari:: + + & * + - ~ ! sizeof typeof alignof __attribute__ defined + +nessuno spazio dopo l'operatore unario suffisso di incremento o decremento:: + + ++ -- + +nessuno spazio dopo l'operatore unario prefisso di incremento o decremento:: + + ++ -- + +e nessuno spazio attorno agli operatori dei membri di una struttura ``.`` e +``->``. + +Non lasciate spazi bianchi alla fine delle righe. Alcuni editor con +l'indentazione ``furba`` inseriranno gli spazi bianchi all'inizio di una nuova +riga in modo appropriato, quindi potrete scrivere la riga di codice successiva +immediatamente. Tuttavia, alcuni di questi stessi editor non rimuovono +questi spazi bianchi quando non scrivete nulla sulla nuova riga, ad esempio +perché volete lasciare una riga vuota. Il risultato è che finirete per avere +delle righe che contengono spazi bianchi in coda. + +Git vi avviserà delle modifiche che aggiungono questi spazi vuoti di fine riga, +e può opzionalmente rimuoverli per conto vostro; tuttavia, se state applicando +una serie di modifiche, questo potrebbe far fallire delle modifiche successive +perché il contesto delle righe verrà cambiato. + +4) Assegnare nomi +----------------- + +C è un linguaggio spartano, e così dovrebbero esserlo i vostri nomi. Al +contrario dei programmatori Modula-2 o Pascal, i programmatori C non usano +nomi graziosi come ThisVariableIsATemporaryCounter. Un programmatore C +chiamerebbe questa variabile ``tmp``, che è molto più facile da scrivere e +non è una delle più difficili da capire. + +TUTTAVIA, nonostante i nomi con notazione mista siano da condannare, i nomi +descrittivi per variabili globali sono un dovere. Chiamare una funzione +globale ``pippo`` è un insulto. + +Le variabili GLOBALI (da usare solo se vi servono **davvero**) devono avere +dei nomi descrittivi, così come le funzioni globali. Se avete una funzione +che conta gli utenti attivi, dovreste chiamarla ``count_active_users()`` o +qualcosa di simile, **non** dovreste chiamarla ``cntusr()``. + +Codificare il tipo di funzione nel suo nome (quella cosa chiamata notazione +ungherese) fa male al cervello - il compilatore conosce comunque il tipo e +può verificarli, e inoltre confonde i programmatori. Non c'è da +sorprendersi che MicroSoft faccia programmi bacati. + +Le variabili LOCALI dovrebbero avere nomi corti, e significativi. Se avete +un qualsiasi contatore di ciclo, probabilmente sarà chiamato ``i``. +Chiamarlo ``loop_counter`` non è produttivo, non ci sono possibilità che +``i`` possa non essere capito. Analogamente, ``tmp`` può essere una qualsiasi +variabile che viene usata per salvare temporaneamente un valore. + +Se avete paura di fare casino coi nomi delle vostre variabili locali, allora +avete un altro problema che è chiamato sindrome dello squilibrio dell'ormone +della crescita delle funzioni. Vedere il capitolo 6 (funzioni). + +5) Definizione di tipi (typedef) +-------------------------------- + +Per favore non usate cose come ``vps_t``. +Usare il typedef per strutture e puntatori è uno **sbaglio**. Quando vedete: + +.. code-block:: c + + vps_t a; + +nei sorgenti, cosa significa? +Se, invece, dicesse: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct virtual_container *a; + +potreste dire cos'è effettivamente ``a``. + +Molte persone pensano che la definizione dei tipi ``migliori la leggibilità``. +Non molto. Sono utili per: + + (a) gli oggetti completamente opachi (dove typedef viene proprio usato allo + scopo di **nascondere** cosa sia davvero l'oggetto). + + Esempio: ``pte_t`` eccetera sono oggetti opachi che potete usare solamente + con le loro funzioni accessorie. + + .. note:: + Gli oggetti opachi e le ``funzioni accessorie`` non sono, di per se, + una bella cosa. Il motivo per cui abbiamo cose come pte_t eccetera è + che davvero non c'è alcuna informazione portabile. + + (b) i tipi chiaramente interi, dove l'astrazione **aiuta** ad evitare + confusione sul fatto che siano ``int`` oppure ``long``. + + u8/u16/u32 sono typedef perfettamente accettabili, anche se ricadono + nella categoria (d) piuttosto che in questa. + + .. note:: + + Ancora - dev'esserci una **ragione** per farlo. Se qualcosa è + ``unsigned long``, non c'è alcun bisogno di avere: + + typedef unsigned long myfalgs_t; + + ma se ci sono chiare circostanze in cui potrebbe essere ``unsigned int`` + e in altre configurazioni ``unsigned long``, allora certamente typedef + è una buona scelta. + + (c) quando di rado create letteralmente dei **nuovi** tipi su cui effettuare + verifiche. + + (d) circostanze eccezionali, in cui si definiscono nuovi tipi identici a + quelli definiti dallo standard C99. + + Nonostante ci voglia poco tempo per abituare occhi e cervello all'uso dei + tipi standard come ``uint32_t``, alcune persone ne obiettano l'uso. + + Perciò, i tipi specifici di Linux ``u8/u16/u32/u64`` e i loro equivalenti + con segno, identici ai tipi standard, sono permessi- tuttavia, non sono + obbligatori per il nuovo codice. + + (e) i tipi sicuri nella spazio utente. + + In alcune strutture dati visibili dallo spazio utente non possiamo + richiedere l'uso dei tipi C99 e nemmeno i vari ``u32`` descritti prima. + Perciò, utilizziamo __u32 e tipi simili in tutte le strutture dati + condivise con lo spazio utente. + +Magari ci sono altri casi validi, ma la regola di base dovrebbe essere di +non usare MAI MAI un typedef a meno che non rientri in una delle regole +descritte qui. + +In generale, un puntatore, o una struttura a cui si ha accesso diretto in +modo ragionevole, non dovrebbero **mai** essere definite con un typedef. + +6) Funzioni +----------- + +Le funzioni dovrebbero essere brevi e carine, e fare una cosa sola. Dovrebbero +occupare uno o due schermi di testo (come tutti sappiamo, la dimensione +di uno schermo secondo ISO/ANSI è di 80x24), e fare una cosa sola e bene. + +La massima lunghezza di una funziona è inversamente proporzionale alla sua +complessità e al livello di indentazione di quella funzione. Quindi, se avete +una funzione che è concettualmente semplice ma che è implementata come un +lunga (ma semplice) sequenza di caso-istruzione, dove avete molte piccole cose +per molti casi differenti, allora va bene avere funzioni più lunghe. + +Comunque, se avete una funzione complessa e sospettate che uno studente +non particolarmente dotato del primo anno delle scuole superiori potrebbe +non capire cosa faccia la funzione, allora dovreste attenervi strettamente ai +limiti. Usate funzioni di supporto con nomi descrittivi (potete chiedere al +compilatore di renderle inline se credete che sia necessario per le +prestazioni, e probabilmente farà un lavoro migliore di quanto avreste potuto +fare voi). + +Un'altra misura delle funzioni sono il numero di variabili locali. Non +dovrebbero eccedere le 5-10, oppure state sbagliando qualcosa. Ripensate la +funzione, e dividetela in pezzettini. Generalmente, un cervello umano può +seguire facilmente circa 7 cose diverse, di più lo confonderebbe. Lo sai +d'essere brillante, ma magari vorresti riuscire a capire cos'avevi fatto due +settimane prima. + +Nei file sorgenti, separate le funzioni con una riga vuota. Se la funzione è +esportata, la macro **EXPORT** per questa funzione deve seguire immediatamente +la riga della parentesi graffa di chiusura. Ad esempio: + +.. code-block:: c + + int system_is_up(void) + { + return system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING; + } + EXPORT_SYMBOL(system_is_up); + +Nei prototipi di funzione, includete i nomi dei parametri e i loro tipi. +Nonostante questo non sia richiesto dal linguaggio C, in Linux viene preferito +perché è un modo semplice per aggiungere informazioni importanti per il +lettore. + +7) Centralizzare il ritorno delle funzioni +------------------------------------------ + +Sebbene sia deprecata da molte persone, l'istruzione goto è impiegata di +frequente dai compilatori sotto forma di salto incondizionato. + +L'istruzione goto diventa utile quando una funzione ha punti d'uscita multipli +e vanno eseguite alcune procedure di pulizia in comune. Se non è necessario +pulire alcunché, allora ritornate direttamente. + +Assegnate un nome all'etichetta di modo che suggerisca cosa fa la goto o +perché esiste. Un esempio di un buon nome potrebbe essere ``out_free_buffer:`` +se la goto libera (free) un ``buffer``. Evitate l'uso di nomi GW-BASIC come +``err1:`` ed ``err2:``, potreste doverli riordinare se aggiungete o rimuovete +punti d'uscita, e inoltre rende difficile verificarne la correttezza. + +I motivo per usare le goto sono: + +- i salti incondizionati sono più facili da capire e seguire +- l'annidamento si riduce +- si evita di dimenticare, per errore, di aggiornare un singolo punto d'uscita +- aiuta il compilatore ad ottimizzare il codice ridondante ;) + +.. code-block:: c + + int fun(int a) + { + int result = 0; + char *buffer; + + buffer = kmalloc(SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!buffer) + return -ENOMEM; + + if (condition1) { + while (loop1) { + ... + } + result = 1; + goto out_free_buffer; + } + ... + out_free_buffer: + kfree(buffer); + return result; + } + +Un baco abbastanza comune di cui bisogna prendere nota è il ``one err bugs`` +che assomiglia a questo: + +.. code-block:: c + + err: + kfree(foo->bar); + kfree(foo); + return ret; + +Il baco in questo codice è che in alcuni punti d'uscita la variabile ``foo`` è +NULL. Normalmente si corregge questo baco dividendo la gestione dell'errore in +due parti ``err_free_bar:`` e ``err_free_foo:``: + +.. code-block:: c + + err_free_bar: + kfree(foo->bar); + err_free_foo: + kfree(foo); + return ret; + +Idealmente, dovreste simulare condizioni d'errore per verificare i vostri +percorsi d'uscita. + + +8) Commenti +----------- + +I commenti sono una buona cosa, ma c'è anche il rischio di esagerare. MAI +spiegare COME funziona il vostro codice in un commento: è molto meglio +scrivere il codice di modo che il suo funzionamento sia ovvio, inoltre +spiegare codice scritto male è una perdita di tempo. + +Solitamente, i commenti devono dire COSA fa il codice, e non COME lo fa. +Inoltre, cercate di evitare i commenti nel corpo della funzione: se la +funzione è così complessa che dovete commentarla a pezzi, allora dovreste +tornare al punto 6 per un momento. Potete mettere dei piccoli commenti per +annotare o avvisare il lettore circa un qualcosa di particolarmente arguto +(o brutto), ma cercate di non esagerare. Invece, mettete i commenti in +testa alla funzione spiegando alle persone cosa fa, e possibilmente anche +il PERCHÉ. + +Per favore, quando commentate una funzione dell'API del kernel usate il +formato kernel-doc. Per maggiori dettagli, leggete i file in +:ref::ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/doc-guide/ <it_doc_guide>` e in +``script/kernel-doc``. + +Lo stile preferito per i commenti più lunghi (multi-riga) è: + +.. code-block:: c + + /* + * This is the preferred style for multi-line + * comments in the Linux kernel source code. + * Please use it consistently. + * + * Description: A column of asterisks on the left side, + * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines. + */ + +Per i file in net/ e in drivers/net/ lo stile preferito per i commenti +più lunghi (multi-riga) è leggermente diverso. + +.. code-block:: c + + /* The preferred comment style for files in net/ and drivers/net + * looks like this. + * + * It is nearly the same as the generally preferred comment style, + * but there is no initial almost-blank line. + */ + +È anche importante commentare i dati, sia per i tipi base che per tipi +derivati. A questo scopo, dichiarate un dato per riga (niente virgole +per una dichiarazione multipla). Questo vi lascerà spazio per un piccolo +commento per spiegarne l'uso. + + +9) Avete fatto un pasticcio +--------------------------- + +Va bene, li facciamo tutti. Probabilmente vi è stato detto dal vostro +aiutante Unix di fiducia che ``GNU emacs`` formatta automaticamente il +codice C per conto vostro, e avete notato che sì, in effetti lo fa, ma che +i modi predefiniti non sono proprio allettanti (infatti, sono peggio che +premere tasti a caso - un numero infinito di scimmie che scrivono in +GNU emacs non faranno mai un buon programma). + +Quindi, potete sbarazzarvi di GNU emacs, o riconfigurarlo con valori più +sensati. Per fare quest'ultima cosa, potete appiccicare il codice che +segue nel vostro file .emacs: + +.. code-block:: none + + (defun c-lineup-arglist-tabs-only (ignored) + "Line up argument lists by tabs, not spaces" + (let* ((anchor (c-langelem-pos c-syntactic-element)) + (column (c-langelem-2nd-pos c-syntactic-element)) + (offset (- (1+ column) anchor)) + (steps (floor offset c-basic-offset))) + (* (max steps 1) + c-basic-offset))) + + (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook + (lambda () + ;; Add kernel style + (c-add-style + "linux-tabs-only" + '("linux" (c-offsets-alist + (arglist-cont-nonempty + c-lineup-gcc-asm-reg + c-lineup-arglist-tabs-only)))))) + + (add-hook 'c-mode-hook + (lambda () + (let ((filename (buffer-file-name))) + ;; Enable kernel mode for the appropriate files + (when (and filename + (string-match (expand-file-name "~/src/linux-trees") + filename)) + (setq indent-tabs-mode t) + (setq show-trailing-whitespace t) + (c-set-style "linux-tabs-only"))))) + +Questo farà funzionare meglio emacs con lo stile del kernel per i file che +si trovano nella cartella ``~/src/linux-trees``. + +Ma anche se doveste fallire nell'ottenere una formattazione sensata in emacs +non tutto è perduto: usate ``indent``. + +Ora, ancora, GNU indent ha la stessa configurazione decerebrata di GNU emacs, +ed è per questo che dovete passargli alcune opzioni da riga di comando. +Tuttavia, non è così terribile, perché perfino i creatori di GNU indent +riconoscono l'autorità di K&R (le persone del progetto GNU non sono cattive, +sono solo mal indirizzate sull'argomento), quindi date ad indent le opzioni +``-kr -i8`` (che significa ``K&R, 8 caratteri di indentazione``), o utilizzate +``scripts/Lindent`` che indenterà usando l'ultimo stile. + +``indent`` ha un sacco di opzioni, e specialmente quando si tratta di +riformattare i commenti dovreste dare un'occhiata alle pagine man. +Ma ricordatevi: ``indent`` non è un correttore per una cattiva programmazione. + +Da notare che potete utilizzare anche ``clang-format`` per aiutarvi con queste +regole, per riformattare rapidamente ad automaticamente alcune parti del +vostro codice, e per revisionare interi file al fine di identificare errori +di stile, refusi e possibilmente anche delle migliorie. È anche utile per +ordinare gli ``#include``, per allineare variabili/macro, per ridistribuire +il testo e altre cose simili. +Per maggiori dettagli, consultate il file +:ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/clang-format.rst <it_clangformat>`. + + +10) File di configurazione Kconfig +---------------------------------- + +Per tutti i file di configurazione Kconfig* che si possono trovare nei +sorgenti, l'indentazione è un po' differente. Le linee dopo un ``config`` +sono indentate con un tab, mentre il testo descrittivo è indentato di +ulteriori due spazi. Esempio:: + + config AUDIT + bool "Auditing support" + depends on NET + help + Enable auditing infrastructure that can be used with another + kernel subsystem, such as SELinux (which requires this for + logging of avc messages output). Does not do system-call + auditing without CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL. + +Le funzionalità davvero pericolose (per esempio il supporto alla scrittura +per certi filesystem) dovrebbero essere dichiarate chiaramente come tali +nella stringa di titolo:: + + config ADFS_FS_RW + bool "ADFS write support (DANGEROUS)" + depends on ADFS_FS + ... + +Per la documentazione completa sui file di configurazione, consultate +il documento Documentation/translations/it_IT/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt + + +11) Strutture dati +------------------ + +Le strutture dati che hanno una visibilità superiore al contesto del +singolo thread in cui vengono create e distrutte, dovrebbero sempre +avere un contatore di riferimenti. Nel kernel non esiste un +*garbage collector* (e fuori dal kernel i *garbage collector* sono lenti +e inefficienti), questo significa che **dovete** assolutamente avere un +contatore di riferimenti per ogni cosa che usate. + +Avere un contatore di riferimenti significa che potete evitare la +sincronizzazione e permette a più utenti di accedere alla struttura dati +in parallelo - e non doversi preoccupare di una struttura dati che +improvvisamente sparisce dalla loro vista perché il loro processo dormiva +o stava facendo altro per un attimo. + +Da notare che la sincronizzazione **non** si sostituisce al conteggio dei +riferimenti. La sincronizzazione ha lo scopo di mantenere le strutture +dati coerenti, mentre il conteggio dei riferimenti è una tecnica di gestione +della memoria. Solitamente servono entrambe le cose, e non vanno confuse fra +di loro. + +Quando si hanno diverse classi di utenti, le strutture dati possono avere +due livelli di contatori di riferimenti. Il contatore di classe conta +il numero dei suoi utenti, e il contatore globale viene decrementato una +sola volta quando il contatore di classe va a zero. + +Un esempio di questo tipo di conteggio dei riferimenti multi-livello può +essere trovato nella gestore della memoria (``struct mm_sturct``: mm_user e +mm_count), e nel codice dei filesystem (``struct super_block``: s_count e +s_active). + +Ricordatevi: se un altro thread può trovare la vostra struttura dati, e non +avete un contatore di riferimenti per essa, quasi certamente avete un baco. + +12) Macro, enumerati e RTL +--------------------------- + +I nomi delle macro che definiscono delle costanti e le etichette degli +enumerati sono scritte in maiuscolo. + +.. code-block:: c + + #define CONSTANT 0x12345 + +Gli enumerati sono da preferire quando si definiscono molte costanti correlate. + +I nomi delle macro in MAIUSCOLO sono preferibili ma le macro che assomigliano +a delle funzioni possono essere scritte in minuscolo. + +Generalmente, le funzioni inline sono preferibili rispetto alle macro che +sembrano funzioni. + +Le macro che contengono più istruzioni dovrebbero essere sempre chiuse in un +blocco do - while: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define macrofun(a, b, c) \ + do { \ + if (a == 5) \ + do_this(b, c); \ + } while (0) + +Cose da evitare quando si usano le macro: + +1) le macro che hanno effetti sul flusso del codice: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define FOO(x) \ + do { \ + if (blah(x) < 0) \ + return -EBUGGERED; \ + } while (0) + +sono **proprio** una pessima idea. Sembra una chiamata a funzione ma termina +la funzione chiamante; non cercate di rompere il decodificatore interno di +chi legge il codice. + +2) le macro che dipendono dall'uso di una variabile locale con un nome magico: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define FOO(val) bar(index, val) + +potrebbe sembrare una bella cosa, ma è dannatamente confusionario quando uno +legge il codice e potrebbe romperlo con una cambiamento che sembra innocente. + +3) le macro con argomenti che sono utilizzati come l-values; questo potrebbe +ritorcervisi contro se qualcuno, per esempio, trasforma FOO in una funzione +inline. + +4) dimenticatevi delle precedenze: le macro che definiscono espressioni devono +essere racchiuse fra parentesi. State attenti a problemi simili con le macro +parametrizzate. + +.. code-block:: c + + #define CONSTANT 0x4000 + #define CONSTEXP (CONSTANT | 3) + +5) collisione nello spazio dei nomi quando si definisce una variabile locale in +una macro che sembra una funzione: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define FOO(x) \ + ({ \ + typeof(x) ret; \ + ret = calc_ret(x); \ + (ret); \ + }) + +ret è un nome comune per una variabile locale - __foo_ret difficilmente +andrà in conflitto con una variabile già esistente. + +Il manuale di cpp si occupa esaustivamente delle macro. Il manuale di sviluppo +di gcc copre anche l'RTL che viene usato frequentemente nel kernel per il +linguaggio assembler. + +13) Visualizzare i messaggi del kernel +-------------------------------------- + +Agli sviluppatori del kernel piace essere visti come dotti. Tenete un occhio +di riguardo per l'ortografia e farete una belle figura. In inglese, evitate +l'uso di parole mozzate come ``dont``: usate ``do not`` oppure ``don't``. +Scrivete messaggi concisi, chiari, e inequivocabili. + +I messaggi del kernel non devono terminare con un punto fermo. + +Scrivere i numeri fra parentesi (%d) non migliora alcunché e per questo +dovrebbero essere evitati. + +Ci sono alcune macro per la diagnostica in <linux/device.h> che dovreste +usare per assicurarvi che i messaggi vengano associati correttamente ai +dispositivi e ai driver, e che siano etichettati correttamente: dev_err(), +dev_warn(), dev_info(), e così via. Per messaggi che non sono associati ad +alcun dispositivo, <linux/printk.h> definisce pr_info(), pr_warn(), pr_err(), +eccetera. + +Tirar fuori un buon messaggio di debug può essere una vera sfida; e quando +l'avete può essere d'enorme aiuto per risolvere problemi da remoto. +Tuttavia, i messaggi di debug sono gestiti differentemente rispetto agli +altri. Le funzioni pr_XXX() stampano incondizionatamente ma pr_debug() no; +essa non viene compilata nella configurazione predefinita, a meno che +DEBUG o CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG non vengono impostati. Questo vale anche per +dev_dbg() e in aggiunta VERBOSE_DEBUG per aggiungere i messaggi dev_vdbg(). + +Molti sottosistemi hanno delle opzioni di debug in Kconfig che aggiungono +-DDEBUG nei corrispettivi Makefile, e in altri casi aggiungono #define DEBUG +in specifici file. Infine, quando un messaggio di debug dev'essere stampato +incondizionatamente, per esempio perché siete già in una sezione di debug +racchiusa in #ifdef, potete usare printk(KERN_DEBUG ...). + +14) Assegnare memoria +--------------------- + +Il kernel fornisce i seguenti assegnatori ad uso generico: +kmalloc(), kzalloc(), kmalloc_array(), kcalloc(), vmalloc(), e vzalloc(). +Per maggiori informazioni, consultate la documentazione dell'API. + +Il modo preferito per passare la dimensione di una struttura è il seguente: + +.. code-block:: c + + p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...); + +La forma alternativa, dove il nome della struttura viene scritto interamente, +peggiora la leggibilità e introduce possibili bachi quando il tipo di +puntatore cambia tipo ma il corrispondente sizeof non viene aggiornato. + +Il valore di ritorno è un puntatore void, effettuare un cast su di esso è +ridondante. La conversione fra un puntatore void e un qualsiasi altro tipo +di puntatore è garantito dal linguaggio di programmazione C. + +Il modo preferito per assegnare un vettore è il seguente: + +.. code-block:: c + + p = kmalloc_array(n, sizeof(...), ...); + +Il modo preferito per assegnare un vettore a zero è il seguente: + +.. code-block:: c + + p = kcalloc(n, sizeof(...), ...); + +Entrambe verificano la condizione di overflow per la dimensione +d'assegnamento n * sizeof(...), se accade ritorneranno NULL. + +15) Il morbo inline +------------------- + +Sembra che ci sia la percezione errata che gcc abbia una qualche magica +opzione "rendimi più veloce" chiamata ``inline``. In alcuni casi l'uso di +inline è appropriato (per esempio in sostituzione delle macro, vedi +capitolo 12), ma molto spesso non lo è. L'uso abbondante della parola chiave +inline porta ad avere un kernel più grande, che si traduce in un sistema nel +suo complesso più lento per via di una cache per le istruzioni della CPU più +grande e poi semplicemente perché ci sarà meno spazio disponibile per una +pagina di cache. Pensateci un attimo; una fallimento nella cache causa una +ricerca su disco che può tranquillamente richiedere 5 millisecondi. Ci sono +TANTI cicli di CPU che potrebbero essere usati in questi 5 millisecondi. + +Spesso le persone dicono che aggiungere inline a delle funzioni dichiarate +static e utilizzare una sola volta è sempre una scelta vincente perché non +ci sono altri compromessi. Questo è tecnicamente vero ma gcc è in grado di +trasformare automaticamente queste funzioni in inline; i problemi di +manutenzione del codice per rimuovere gli inline quando compare un secondo +utente surclassano il potenziale vantaggio nel suggerire a gcc di fare una +cosa che avrebbe fatto comunque. + +16) Nomi e valori di ritorno delle funzioni +------------------------------------------- + +Le funzioni possono ritornare diversi tipi di valori, e uno dei più comuni +è quel valore che indica se una funzione ha completato con successo o meno. +Questo valore può essere rappresentato come un codice di errore intero +(-Exxx = fallimento, 0 = successo) oppure un booleano di successo +(0 = fallimento, non-zero = successo). + +Mischiare questi due tipi di rappresentazioni è un terreno fertile per +i bachi più insidiosi. Se il linguaggio C includesse una forte distinzione +fra gli interi e i booleani, allora il compilatore potrebbe trovare questi +errori per conto nostro ... ma questo non c'è. Per evitare di imbattersi +in questo tipo di baco, seguite sempre la seguente convenzione:: + + Se il nome di una funzione è un'azione o un comando imperativo, + essa dovrebbe ritornare un codice di errore intero. Se il nome + è un predicato, la funzione dovrebbe ritornare un booleano di + "successo" + +Per esempio, ``add work`` è un comando, e la funzione add_work() ritorna 0 +in caso di successo o -EBUSY in caso di fallimento. Allo stesso modo, +``PCI device present`` è un predicato, e la funzione pci_dev_present() ritorna +1 se trova il dispositivo corrispondente con successo, altrimenti 0. + +Tutte le funzioni esportate (EXPORT) devono rispettare questa convenzione, e +così dovrebbero anche tutte le funzioni pubbliche. Le funzioni private +(static) possono non seguire questa convenzione, ma è comunque raccomandato +che lo facciano. + +Le funzioni il cui valore di ritorno è il risultato di una computazione, +piuttosto che l'indicazione sul successo di tale computazione, non sono +soggette a questa regola. Solitamente si indicano gli errori ritornando un +qualche valore fuori dai limiti. Un tipico esempio è quello delle funzioni +che ritornano un puntatore; queste utilizzano NULL o ERR_PTR come meccanismo +di notifica degli errori. + +17) Non reinventate le macro del kernel +--------------------------------------- + +Il file di intestazione include/linux/kernel.h contiene un certo numero +di macro che dovreste usare piuttosto che implementarne una qualche variante. +Per esempio, se dovete calcolare la lunghezza di un vettore, sfruttate la +macro: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define ARRAY_SIZE(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof((x)[0])) + +Analogamente, se dovete calcolare la dimensione di un qualche campo di una +struttura, usate + +.. code-block:: c + + #define FIELD_SIZEOF(t, f) (sizeof(((t*)0)->f)) + +Ci sono anche le macro min() e max() che, se vi serve, effettuano un controllo +rigido sui tipi. Sentitevi liberi di leggere attentamente questo file +d'intestazione per scoprire cos'altro è stato definito che non dovreste +reinventare nel vostro codice. + +18) Linee di configurazione degli editor e altre schifezze +----------------------------------------------------------- + +Alcuni editor possono interpretare dei parametri di configurazione integrati +nei file sorgenti e indicati con dai marcatori speciali. Per esempio, emacs +interpreta le linee marcate nel seguente modo: + +.. code-block:: c + + -*- mode: c -*- + +O come queste: + +.. code-block:: c + + /* + Local Variables: + compile-command: "gcc -DMAGIC_DEBUG_FLAG foo.c" + End: + */ + +Vim interpreta i marcatori come questi: + +.. code-block:: c + + /* vim:set sw=8 noet */ + +Non includete nessuna di queste cose nei file sorgenti. Le persone hanno le +proprie configurazioni personali per l'editor, e i vostri sorgenti non +dovrebbero sovrascrivergliele. Questo vale anche per i marcatori +d'indentazione e di modalità d'uso. Le persone potrebbero aver configurato una +modalità su misura, oppure potrebbero avere qualche altra magia per far +funzionare bene l'indentazione. + +19) Inline assembly +--------------------- + +Nel codice specifico per un'architettura, potreste aver bisogno di codice +*inline assembly* per interfacciarvi col processore o con una funzionalità +specifica della piattaforma. Non esitate a farlo quando è necessario. +Comunque, non usatele gratuitamente quando il C può fare la stessa cosa. +Potete e dovreste punzecchiare l'hardware in C quando è possibile. + +Considerate la scrittura di una semplice funzione che racchiude pezzi comuni +di codice assembler piuttosto che continuare a riscrivere delle piccole +varianti. Ricordatevi che l' *inline assembly* può utilizzare i parametri C. + +Il codice assembler più corposo e non banale dovrebbe andare nei file .S, +coi rispettivi prototipi C definiti nei file d'intestazione. I prototipi C +per le funzioni assembler dovrebbero usare ``asmlinkage``. + +Potreste aver bisogno di marcare il vostro codice asm come volatile al fine +d'evitare che GCC lo rimuova quando pensa che non ci siano effetti collaterali. +Non c'è sempre bisogno di farlo, e farlo quando non serve limita le +ottimizzazioni. + +Quando scrivete una singola espressione *inline assembly* contenente più +istruzioni, mettete ognuna di queste istruzioni in una stringa e riga diversa; +ad eccezione dell'ultima stringa/istruzione, ognuna deve terminare con ``\n\t`` +al fine di allineare correttamente l'assembler che verrà generato: + +.. code-block:: c + + asm ("magic %reg1, #42\n\t" + "more_magic %reg2, %reg3" + : /* outputs */ : /* inputs */ : /* clobbers */); + +20) Compilazione sotto condizione +--------------------------------- + +Ovunque sia possibile, non usate le direttive condizionali del preprocessore +(#if, #ifdef) nei file .c; farlo rende il codice difficile da leggere e da +seguire. Invece, usate queste direttive nei file d'intestazione per definire +le funzioni usate nei file .c, fornendo i relativi stub nel caso #else, +e quindi chiamate queste funzioni senza condizioni di preprocessore. Il +compilatore non produrrà alcun codice per le funzioni stub, produrrà gli +stessi risultati, e la logica rimarrà semplice da seguire. + +È preferibile non compilare intere funzioni piuttosto che porzioni d'esse o +porzioni d'espressioni. Piuttosto che mettere una ifdef in un'espressione, +fattorizzate parte dell'espressione, o interamente, in funzioni e applicate +la direttiva condizionale su di esse. + +Se avete una variabile o funzione che potrebbe non essere usata in alcune +configurazioni, e quindi il compilatore potrebbe avvisarvi circa la definizione +inutilizzata, marcate questa definizione come __maybe_used piuttosto che +racchiuderla in una direttiva condizionale del preprocessore. (Comunque, +se una variabile o funzione è *sempre* inutilizzata, rimuovetela). + +Nel codice, dov'è possibile, usate la macro IS_ENABLED per convertire i +simboli Kconfig in espressioni booleane C, e quindi usatela nelle classiche +condizioni C: + +.. code-block:: c + + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SOMETHING)) { + ... + } + +Il compilatore valuterà la condizione come costante (constant-fold), e quindi +includerà o escluderà il blocco di codice come se fosse in un #ifdef, quindi +non ne aumenterà il tempo di esecuzione. Tuttavia, questo permette al +compilatore C di vedere il codice nel blocco condizionale e verificarne la +correttezza (sintassi, tipi, riferimenti ai simboli, eccetera). Quindi +dovete comunque utilizzare #ifdef se il codice nel blocco condizionale esiste +solo quando la condizione è soddisfatta. + +Alla fine di un blocco corposo di #if o #ifdef (più di alcune linee), +mettete un commento sulla stessa riga di #endif, annotando la condizione +che termina. Per esempio: + +.. code-block:: c + + #ifdef CONFIG_SOMETHING + ... + #endif /* CONFIG_SOMETHING */ + +Appendice I) riferimenti +------------------------ + +The C Programming Language, Second Edition +by Brian W.

Il documento non tratterà alcun aspetto +tecnico relativo alla programmazione del kernel, ma vi aiuterà +indirizzandovi sulla corretta strada. + +Se qualsiasi cosa presente in questo documento diventasse obsoleta, +vi preghiamo di inviare le correzioni agli amministratori di questo +file, indicati in fondo al presente documento. + +Introduzione +------------ +Dunque, volete imparare come diventare sviluppatori del kernel Linux? +O vi è stato detto dal vostro capo, "Vai, scrivi un driver Linux per +questo dispositivo". Bene, l'obbiettivo di questo documento è quello +di insegnarvi tutto ciò che dovete sapere per raggiungere il vostro +scopo descrivendo il procedimento da seguire e consigliandovi +su come lavorare con la comunità. Il documento cercherà, inoltre, +di spiegare alcune delle ragioni per le quali la comunità lavora in un +modo suo particolare. + +Il kernel è scritto prevalentemente nel linguaggio C con alcune parti +specifiche dell'architettura scritte in linguaggio assembly. +Per lo sviluppo kernel è richiesta una buona conoscenza del linguaggio C. +L'assembly (di qualsiasi architettura) non è richiesto, a meno che non +pensiate di fare dello sviluppo di basso livello per un'architettura. +Sebbene essi non siano un buon sostituto ad un solido studio del +linguaggio C o ad anni di esperienza, i seguenti libri sono, se non +altro, utili riferimenti: + +- "The C Programming Language" di Kernighan e Ritchie [Prentice Hall] +- "Practical C Programming" di Steve Oualline [O'Reilly] +- "C: A Reference Manual" di Harbison and Steele [Prentice Hall] + +Il kernel è stato scritto usando GNU C e la toolchain GNU. +Sebbene si attenga allo standard ISO C89, esso utilizza una serie di +estensioni che non sono previste in questo standard. Il kernel è un +ambiente C indipendente, che non ha alcuna dipendenza dalle librerie +C standard, così alcune parti del C standard non sono supportate. +Le divisioni ``long long`` e numeri in virgola mobile non sono permessi. +Qualche volta è difficile comprendere gli assunti che il kernel ha +riguardo gli strumenti e le estensioni in uso, e sfortunatamente non +esiste alcuna indicazione definitiva. Per maggiori informazioni, controllate, +la pagina `info gcc`. + +Tenete a mente che state cercando di apprendere come lavorare con la comunità +di sviluppo già esistente. Questo è un gruppo eterogeneo di persone, con alti +standard di codifica, di stile e di procedura. Questi standard sono stati +creati nel corso del tempo basandosi su quanto hanno riscontrato funzionare al +meglio per un squadra così grande e geograficamente sparsa. Cercate di +imparare, in anticipo, il più possibile circa questi standard, poichè ben +spiegati; non aspettatevi che gli altri si adattino al vostro modo di fare +o a quello della vostra azienda. + +Note legali +------------ +Il codice sorgente del kernel Linux è rilasciato sotto GPL. Siete pregati +di visionare il file, COPYING, presente nella cartella principale dei +sorgente, per eventuali dettagli sulla licenza. Se avete ulteriori domande +sulla licenza, contattate un avvocato, non chiedete sulle liste di discussione +del kernel Linux. Le persone presenti in queste liste non sono avvocati, +e non dovreste basarvi sulle loro dichiarazioni in materia giuridica. + +Per domande più frequenti e risposte sulla licenza GPL, guardare: + + https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html + +Documentazione +-------------- +I sorgenti del kernel Linux hanno una vasta base di documenti che vi +insegneranno come interagire con la comunità del kernel. Quando nuove +funzionalità vengono aggiunte al kernel, si raccomanda di aggiungere anche i +relativi file di documentatione che spiegano come usarele. +Quando un cambiamento del kernel genera anche un cambiamento nell'interfaccia +con lo spazio utente, è raccomandabile che inviate una notifica o una +correzione alle pagine *man* spiegando tale modifica agli amministratori di +queste pagine all'indirizzo mtk.manpages@gmail.com, aggiungendo +in CC la lista linux-api@vger.kernel.org. + +Di seguito una lista di file che sono presenti nei sorgente del kernel e che +è richiesto che voi leggiate: + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/admin-guide/README.rst <it_readme>` + Questo file da una piccola anteprima del kernel Linux e descrive il + minimo necessario per configurare e generare il kernel. I novizi + del kernel dovrebbero iniziare da qui. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/changes.rst <it_changes>` + + Questo file fornisce una lista dei pacchetti software necessari + a compilare e far funzionare il kernel con successo. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/coding-style.rst <it_codingstyle>` + + Questo file descrive lo stile della codifica per il kernel Linux, + e parte delle motivazioni che ne sono alla base. Tutto il nuovo codice deve + seguire le linee guida in questo documento. Molti amministratori + accetteranno patch solo se queste osserveranno tali regole, e molte + persone revisioneranno il codice solo se scritto nello stile appropriato. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/submitting-patches.rst <it_submittingpatches>` e + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/submitting-drivers.rst <it_submittingdrivers>` + + Questo file descrive dettagliatamente come creare ed inviare una patch + con successo, includendo (ma non solo questo): + + - Contenuto delle email + - Formato delle email + - I destinatari delle email + + Seguire tali regole non garantirà il successo (tutte le patch sono soggette + a controlli realitivi a contenuto e stile), ma non seguirle lo precluderà + sempre. + + Altre ottime descrizioni di come creare buone patch sono: + + "The Perfect Patch" + https://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/tpp.txt + + "Linux kernel patch submission format" + http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html + + :ref:`Documentation/process/translations/it_IT/stable-api-nonsense.rst <it_stable_api_nonsense>` + + Questo file descrive la motivazioni sottostanti la conscia decisione di + non avere un API stabile all'interno del kernel, incluso cose come: + + - Sottosistemi shim-layers (per compatibilità?) + - Portabilità fra Sistemi Operativi dei driver. + - Attenuare i rapidi cambiamenti all'interno dei sorgenti del kernel + (o prevenirli) + + Questo documento è vitale per la comprensione della filosifia alla base + dello sviluppo di Linux ed è molto importante per le persone che arrivano + da esperienze con altri Sistemi Operativi. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/admin-guide/security-bugs.rst <it_securitybugs>` + Se ritenete di aver trovato un problema di sicurezza nel kernel Linux, + seguite i passaggi scritti in questo documento per notificarlo agli + sviluppatori del kernel, ed aiutare la risoluzione del problema. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/management-style.rst <it_managementstyle>` + Questo documento descrive come i manutentori del kernel Linux operano + e la filosofia comune alla base del loro metodo. Questa è un'importante + lettura per tutti coloro che sono nuovi allo sviluppo del kernel (o per + chi è semplicemente curioso), poiché risolve molti dei più comuni + fraintendimenti e confusioni dovuti al particolare comportamento dei + manutentori del kernel. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst <it_stable_kernel_rules>` + Questo file descrive le regole sulle quali vengono basati i rilasci del + kernel, e spiega cosa fare se si vuole che una modifica venga inserita + in uno di questi rilasci. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/kernel-docs.rst <it_kernel_docs>` + Una lista di documenti pertinenti allo sviluppo del kernel. + Per favore consultate questa lista se non trovate ciò che cercate nella + documentazione interna del kernel. + + :ref:`Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/applying-patches.rst <it_applying_patches>` + Una buona introduzione che descrivere esattamente cos'è una patch e come + applicarla ai differenti rami di sviluppo del kernel. + +Il kernel inoltre ha un vasto numero di documenti che possono essere +automaticamente generati dal codice sorgente stesso o da file +ReStructuredText (ReST), come questo. Esso include una completa +descrizione dell'API interna del kernel, e le regole su come gestire la +sincronizzazione (locking) correttamente + +Tutte queste tipologie di documenti possono essere generati in PDF o in +HTML utilizzando:: + + make pdfdocs + make htmldocs + +rispettivamente dalla cartella principale dei sorgenti del kernel. + +I documenti che impiegano ReST saranno generati nella cartella +Documentation/output. +Questi posso essere generati anche in formato LaTex e ePub con:: + + make latexdocs + make epubdocs + +Diventare uno sviluppatore del kernel +------------------------------------- +Se non sapete nulla sullo sviluppo del kernel Linux, dovreste dare uno +sguardo al progetto *Linux KernelNewbies*: + + https://kernelnewbies.org + +Esso prevede un'utile lista di discussione dove potete porre più o meno ogni +tipo di quesito relativo ai concetti fondamentali sullo sviluppo del kernel +(assicuratevi di cercare negli archivi, prima di chiedere qualcosa alla +quale è già stata fornita risposta in passato). Esistono inoltre, un canale IRC +che potete usare per formulare domande in tempo reale, e molti documenti utili +che vi faciliteranno nell'apprendimento dello sviluppo del kernel Linux. + +Il sito internet contiene informazioni di base circa l'organizzazione del +codice, sottosistemi e progetti attuali (sia interni che esterni a Linux). +Esso descrive, inoltre, informazioni logistiche di base, riguardanti ad esempio +la compilazione del kernel e l'applicazione di una modifica. + +Se non sapete dove cominciare, ma volete cercare delle attività dalle quali +partire per partecipare alla comunità di sviluppo, andate al progetto Linux +Kernel Janitor's. + + https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors + +È un buon posto da cui iniziare. Esso presenta una lista di problematiche +relativamente semplici da sistemare e pulire all'interno della sorgente del +kernel Linux. Lavorando con gli sviluppatori incaricati di questo progetto, +imparerete le basi per l'inserimento delle vostre modifiche all'interno dei +sorgenti del kernel Linux, e possibilmente, sarete indirizzati al lavoro +successivo da svolgere, se non ne avrete ancora idea. + +Prima di apportare una qualsiasi modifica al codice del kernel Linux, +è imperativo comprendere come tale codice funziona. A questo scopo, non c'è +nulla di meglio che leggerlo direttamente (la maggior parte dei bit più +complessi sono ben commentati), eventualmente anche con l'aiuto di strumenti +specializzati. Uno degli strumenti che è particolarmente raccomandato è +il progetto Linux Cross-Reference, che è in grado di presentare codice +sorgente in un formato autoreferenziale ed indicizzato. Un eccellente ed +aggiornata fonte di consultazione del codice del kernel la potete trovare qui: + + http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ + + +Il processo di sviluppo +----------------------- +Il processo di sviluppo del kernel Linux si compone di pochi "rami" principali +e di molti altri rami per specifici sottosistemi. Questi rami sono: + + - I sorgenti kernel 4.x + - I sorgenti stabili del kernel 4.x.y -stable + - Le modifiche in 4.x -git + - Sorgenti dei sottosistemi del kernel e le loro modifiche + - Il kernel 4.x -next per test d'integrazione + +I sorgenti kernel 4.x +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +I kernel 4.x sono amministrati da Linus Torvald, e possono essere trovati +su https://kernel.org nella cartella pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/. Il processo +di sviluppo è il seguente: + + - Non appena un nuovo kernel viene rilasciato si apre una finestra di due + settimane. Durante questo periodo i manutentori possono proporre a Linus + dei grossi cambiamenti; solitamente i cambiamenti che sono già stati + inseriti nel ramo -next del kernel per alcune settimane. Il modo migliore + per sottoporre dei cambiamenti è attraverso git (lo strumento usato per + gestire i sorgenti del kernel, più informazioni sul sito + https://git-scm.com/) ma anche delle patch vanno bene. + + - Al termine delle due settimane un kernel -rc1 viene rilasciato e + l'obbiettivo ora è quello di renderlo il più solido possibile. A questo + punto la maggior parte delle patch dovrebbero correggere un'eventuale + regressione. I bachi che sono sempre esistiti non sono considerabili come + regressioni, quindi inviate questo tipo di cambiamenti solo se sono + importanti. Notate che un intero driver (o filesystem) potrebbe essere + accettato dopo la -rc1 poiché non esistono rischi di una possibile + regressione con tale cambiamento, fintanto che quest'ultimo è + auto-contenuto e non influisce su aree esterne al codice che è stato + aggiunto. git può essere utilizzato per inviare le patch a Linus dopo che + la -rc1 è stata rilasciata, ma è anche necessario inviare le patch ad + una lista di discussione pubblica per un'ulteriore revisione. + + - Una nuova -rc viene rilasciata ogni volta che Linus reputa che gli attuali + sorgenti siano in uno stato di salute ragionevolmente adeguato ai test. + L'obiettivo è quello di rilasciare una nuova -rc ogni settimana. + + - Il processo continua fino a che il kernel è considerato "pronto"; tale + processo dovrebbe durare circa in 6 settimane. + +È utile menzionare quanto scritto da Andrew Morton sulla lista di discussione +kernel-linux in merito ai rilasci del kernel: + + *"Nessuno sa quando un kernel verrà rilasciato, poichè questo è + legato allo stato dei bachi e non ad una cronologia preventiva."* + +I sorgenti stabili del kernel 4.x.y -stable +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +I kernel con versioni in 3-parti sono "kernel stabili". Essi contengono +correzioni critiche relativamente piccole nell'ambito della sicurezza +oppure significative regressioni scoperte in un dato 4.x kernel. + +Questo è il ramo raccomandato per gli utenti che vogliono un kernel recente +e stabile e non sono interessati a dare il proprio contributo alla verifica +delle versioni di sviluppo o sperimentali. + +Se non è disponibile alcun kernel 4.x.y., quello più aggiornato e stabile +sarà il kernel 4.x con la numerazione più alta. + +4.x.y sono amministrati dal gruppo "stable" <stable@vger.kernel.org>, e sono +rilasciati a seconda delle esigenze. Il normale periodo di rilascio è +approssimativamente di due settimane, ma può essere più lungo se non si +verificano problematiche urgenti. Un problema relativo alla sicurezza, invece, +può determinare un rilascio immediato. + +Il file Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst (nei sorgenti) documenta +quali tipologie di modifiche sono accettate per i sorgenti -stable, e come +avviene il processo di rilascio. + +Le modifiche in 4.x -git +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Queste sono istantanee quotidiane del kernel di Linus e sono gestite in +una repositorio git (da qui il nome). Queste modifiche sono solitamente +rilasciate giornalmente e rappresentano l'attuale stato dei sorgenti di +Linus. Queste sono da considerarsi più sperimentali di un -rc in quanto +generate automaticamente senza nemmeno aver dato una rapida occhiata +per verificarne lo stato. + + +Sorgenti dei sottosistemi del kernel e le loro patch +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +I manutentori dei diversi sottosistemi del kernel --- ed anche molti +sviluppatori di sottosistemi --- mostrano il loro attuale stato di sviluppo +nei loro repositori. In questo modo, altri possono vedere cosa succede nelle +diverse parti del kernel. In aree dove lo sviluppo è rapido, potrebbe essere +chiesto ad uno sviluppatore di basare le proprie modifiche su questi repositori +in modo da evitare i conflitti fra le sottomissioni ed altri lavori in corso + +La maggior parte di questi repositori sono git, ma esistono anche altri SCM +in uso, o file di patch pubblicate come una serie quilt. +Gli indirizzi dei repositori di sottosistema sono indicati nel file +MAINTAINERS. Molti di questi posso essere trovati su https://git.kernel.org/. + +Prima che una modifica venga inclusa in questi sottosistemi, sarà soggetta ad +una revisione che inizialmente avviene tramite liste di discussione (vedere la +sezione dedicata qui sotto). Per molti sottosistemi del kernel, tale processo +di revisione è monitorato con lo strumento patchwork. +Patchwork offre un'interfaccia web che mostra le patch pubblicate, inclusi i +commenti o le revisioni fatte, e gli amministratori possono indicare le patch +come "in revisione", "accettate", o "rifiutate". Diversi siti Patchwork sono +elencati al sito https://patchwork.kernel.org/. + +Il kernel 4.x -next per test d'integrazione +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Prima che gli aggiornamenti dei sottosistemi siano accorpati nel ramo +principale 4.x, sarà necessario un test d'integrazione. +A tale scopo, esiste un repositorio speciale di test nel quale virtualmente +tutti i rami dei sottosistemi vengono inclusi su base quotidiana: + + https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git + +In questo modo, i kernel -next offrono uno sguardo riassuntivo su quello che +ci si aspetterà essere nel kernel principale nel successivo periodo +d'incorporazione. +Coloro che vorranno fare dei test d'esecuzione del kernel -next sono più che +benvenuti. + + +Riportare Bug +------------- + +https://bugzilla.kernel.org è dove gli sviluppatori del kernel Linux tracciano +i bachi del kernel. Gli utenti sono incoraggiati nel riportare tutti i bachi +che trovano utilizzando questo strumento. +Per maggiori dettagli su come usare il bugzilla del kernel, guardare: + + https://bugzilla.kernel.org/page.cgi?id=faq.html + +Il file admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst nella cartella principale del kernel +fornisce un buon modello sul come segnalare un baco nel kernel, e spiega quali +informazioni sono necessarie agli sviluppatori per poter aiutare il +rintracciamento del problema. + +Gestire i rapporti sui bug +-------------------------- + +Uno dei modi migliori per mettere in pratica le vostre capacità di hacking è +quello di riparare bachi riportati da altre persone. Non solo aiuterete a far +diventare il kernel più stabile, ma imparerete a riparare problemi veri dal +mondo ed accrescerete le vostre competenze, e gli altri sviluppatori saranno +al corrente della vostra presenza. Riparare bachi è una delle migliori vie per +acquisire meriti tra gli altri sviluppatori, perchè non a molte persone piace +perdere tempo a sistemare i bachi di altri. + +Per lavorare sui rapporti di bachi già riportati, andate su +https://bugzilla.kernel.org. + +Liste di discussione +-------------------- + +Come descritto in molti dei documenti qui sopra, la maggior parte degli +sviluppatori del kernel partecipano alla lista di discussione Linux Kernel. +I dettagli su come iscriversi e disiscriversi dalla lista possono essere +trovati al sito: + + http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel + +Ci sono diversi archivi della lista di discussione. Usate un qualsiasi motore +di ricerca per trovarli. Per esempio: + + http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel + +É caldamente consigliata una ricerca in questi archivi sul tema che volete +sollevare, prima di pubblicarlo sulla lista. Molte cose sono già state +discusse in dettaglio e registrate negli archivi della lista di discussione. + +Molti dei sottosistemi del kernel hanno anche una loro lista di discussione +dedicata. Guardate nel file MAINTAINERS per avere una lista delle liste di +discussione e il loro uso. + +Molte di queste liste sono gestite su kernel.org. Per informazioni consultate +la seguente pagina: + + http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html + +Per favore ricordatevi della buona educazione quando utilizzate queste liste. +Sebbene sia un pò dozzinale, il seguente URL contiene alcune semplici linee +guida per interagire con la lista (o con qualsiasi altra lista): + + http://www.albion.com/netiquette/ + +Se diverse persone rispondo alla vostra mail, la lista dei riceventi (copia +conoscenza) potrebbe diventare abbastanza lunga. Non cancellate nessuno dalla +lista di CC: senza un buon motivo, e non rispondete solo all'indirizzo +della lista di discussione. Fateci l'abitudine perché capita spesso di +ricevere la stessa email due volte: una dal mittente ed una dalla lista; e non +cercate di modificarla aggiungendo intestazioni stravaganti, agli altri non +piacerà. + +Ricordate di rimanere sempre in argomento e di mantenere le attribuzioni +delle vostre risposte invariate; mantenete il "John Kernelhacker wrote ...:" +in cima alla vostra replica e aggiungete le vostre risposte fra i singoli +blocchi citati, non scrivete all'inizio dell'email. + +Se aggiungete patch alla vostra mail, assicuratevi che siano del tutto +leggibili come indicato in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst. +Gli sviluppatori kernel non vogliono avere a che fare con allegati o patch +compresse; vogliono invece poter commentare le righe dei vostri cambiamenti, +il che può funzionare solo in questo modo. +Assicuratevi di utilizzare un gestore di mail che non alterì gli spazi ed i +caratteri. Un ottimo primo test è quello di inviare a voi stessi una mail e +cercare di sottoporre la vostra stessa patch. Se non funziona, sistemate il +vostro programma di posta, o cambiatelo, finché non funziona. + +Ed infine, per favore ricordatevi di mostrare rispetto per gli altri +sottoscriventi. + +Lavorare con la comunità +------------------------ + +L'obiettivo di questa comunità è quello di fornire il miglior kernel possibile. +Quando inviate una modifica che volete integrare, sarà valutata esclusivamente +dal punto di vista tecnico. Quindi, cosa dovreste aspettarvi? + + - critiche + - commenti + - richieste di cambiamento + - richieste di spiegazioni + - nulla + +Ricordatevi che questo fa parte dell'integrazione della vostra modifica +all'interno del kernel. Dovete essere in grado di accettare le critiche, +valutarle a livello tecnico ed eventualmente rielaborare nuovamente le vostre +modifiche o fornire delle chiare e concise motivazioni per le quali le +modifiche suggerite non dovrebbero essere fatte. +Se non riceverete risposte, aspettate qualche giorno e riprovate ancora, +qualche volta le cose si perdono nell'enorme mucchio di email. + +Cosa non dovreste fare? + + - aspettarvi che la vostra modifica venga accettata senza problemi + - mettervi sulla difensiva + - ignorare i commenti + - sottomettere nuovamente la modifica senza fare nessuno dei cambiamenti + richiesti + +In una comunità che è alla ricerca delle migliori soluzioni tecniche possibili, +ci saranno sempre opinioni differenti sull'utilità di una modifica. +Siate cooperativi e vogliate adattare la vostra idea in modo che sia inserita +nel kernel. O almeno vogliate dimostrare che la vostra idea vale. +Ricordatevi, sbagliare è accettato fintanto che siate disposti a lavorare verso +una soluzione che è corretta. + +È normale che le risposte alla vostra prima modifica possa essere +semplicemente una lista con dozzine di cose che dovreste correggere. +Questo **non** implica che la vostra patch non sarà accettata, e questo +**non** è contro di voi personalmente. +Semplicemente correggete tutte le questioni sollevate contro la vostra modifica +ed inviatela nuovamente. + +Differenze tra la comunità del kernel e le strutture aziendali +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +La comunità del kernel funziona diversamente rispetto a molti ambienti di +sviluppo aziendali. Qui di seguito una lista di cose che potete provare a +fare per evitare problemi: + + Cose da dire riguardanti le modifiche da voi proposte: + + - "Questo risolve più problematiche." + - "Questo elimina 2000 stringhe di codice." + - "Qui una modifica che spiega cosa sto cercando di fare." + - "L'ho testato su 5 diverse architetture.." + - "Qui una serie di piccole modifiche che.." + - "Questo aumenta le prestazioni di macchine standard..." + + Cose che dovreste evitare di dire: + + - "Lo abbiamo fatto in questo modo in AIX/ptx/Solaris, di conseguenza + deve per forza essere giusto..." + - "Ho fatto questo per 20 anni, quindi.." + - "Questo è richiesto dalla mia Azienda per far soldi" + - "Questo è per la linea di prodotti della nostra Azienda" + - "Ecco il mio documento di design di 1000 pagine che descrive ciò che ho + in mente" + - "Ci ho lavorato per 6 mesi..." + - "Ecco una patch da 5000 righe che.." + - "Ho riscritto il pasticcio attuale, ed ecco qua.." + - "Ho una scadenza, e questa modifica ha bisogno di essere approvata ora" + +Un'altra cosa nella quale la comunità del kernel si differenzia dai più +classici ambienti di ingegneria del software è la natura "senza volto" delle +interazioni umane. Uno dei benefici dell'uso delle email e di irc come forma +primordiale di comunicazione è l'assenza di discriminazione basata su genere e +razza. L'ambienti di lavoro Linux accetta donne e minoranze perchè tutto quello +che sei è un indirizzo email. Aiuta anche l'aspetto internazionale nel +livellare il terreno di gioco perchè non è possibile indovinare il genere +basandosi sul nome di una persona. Un uomo può chiamarsi Andrea ed una donna +potrebbe chiamarsi Pat. Gran parte delle donne che hanno lavorato al kernel +Linux e che hanno espresso una personale opinione hanno avuto esperienze +positive. + +La lingua potrebbe essere un ostacolo per quelle persone che non si trovano +a loro agio con l'inglese. Una buona padronanza del linguaggio può essere +necessaria per esporre le proprie idee in maniera appropiata all'interno +delle liste di discussione, quindi è consigliabile che rileggiate le vostre +email prima di inviarle in modo da essere certi che abbiano senso in inglese. + + +Spezzare le vostre modifiche +---------------------------- + +La comunità del kernel Linux non accetta con piacere grossi pezzi di codice +buttati lì tutti in una volta. Le modifiche necessitano di essere +adeguatamente presentate, discusse, e suddivise in parti più piccole ed +indipendenti. Questo è praticamente l'esatto opposto di quello che le +aziende fanno solitamente. La vostra proposta dovrebbe, inoltre, essere +presentata prestissimo nel processo di sviluppo, così che possiate ricevere +un riscontro su quello che state facendo. Lasciate che la comunità +senta che state lavorando con loro, e che non li stiate sfruttando come +discarica per le vostre aggiunte. In ogni caso, non inviate 50 email nello +stesso momento in una lista di discussione, il più delle volte la vostra serie +di modifiche dovrebbe essere più piccola. + +I motivi per i quali dovreste frammentare le cose sono i seguenti: + +1) Piccole modifiche aumentano le probabilità che vengano accettate, + altrimenti richiederebbe troppo tempo o sforzo nel verificarne + la correttezza. Una modifica di 5 righe può essere accettata da un + manutentore con a mala pena una seconda occhiata. Invece, una modifica da + 500 linee può richiedere ore di rilettura per verificarne la correttezza + (il tempo necessario è esponenzialmente proporzionale alla dimensione della + modifica, o giù di lì) + + Piccole modifiche sono inoltre molto facili da debuggare quando qualcosa + non va. È molto più facile annullare le modifiche una per una che + dissezionare una patch molto grande dopo la sua sottomissione (e rompere + qualcosa). + +2) È importante non solo inviare piccole modifiche, ma anche riscriverle e + semplificarle (o più semplicemente ordinarle) prima di sottoporle. + +Qui un'analogia dello sviluppatore kernel Al Viro: + + *"Pensate ad un insegnante di matematica che corregge il compito + di uno studente (di matematica). L'insegnante non vuole vedere le + prove e gli errori commessi dallo studente prima che arrivi alla + soluzione. Vuole vedere la risposta più pulita ed elegante + possibile. Un buono studente lo sa, e non presenterebbe mai le + proprie bozze prima prima della soluzione finale"* + + *"Lo stesso vale per lo sviluppo del kernel. I manutentori ed i + revisori non vogliono vedere il procedimento che sta dietro al + problema che uno sta risolvendo. Vogliono vedere una soluzione + semplice ed elegante."* + +Può essere una vera sfida il saper mantenere l'equilibrio fra una presentazione +elegante della vostra soluzione, lavorare insieme ad una comunità e dibattere +su un lavoro incompleto. Pertanto è bene entrare presto nel processo di +revisione per migliorare il vostro lavoro, ma anche per riuscire a tenere le +vostre modifiche in pezzettini che potrebbero essere già accettate, nonostante +la vostra intera attività non lo sia ancora. + +In fine, rendetevi conto che non è accettabile inviare delle modifiche +incomplete con la promessa che saranno "sistemate dopo". + + +Giustificare le vostre modifiche +-------------------------------- + +Insieme alla frammentazione delle vostre modifiche, è altrettanto importante +permettere alla comunità Linux di capire perché dovrebbero accettarle. +Nuove funzionalità devono essere motivate come necessarie ed utili. + + +Documentare le vostre modifiche +------------------------------- + +Quando inviate le vostre modifiche, fate particolare attenzione a quello che +scrivete nella vostra email.

parola chiave "volatile" non dovrebbe essere usata +------------------------------------------------------------ + +Spesso i programmatori C considerano volatili quelle variabili che potrebbero +essere cambiate al di fuori dal thread di esecuzione corrente; come risultato, +a volte saranno tentati dall'utilizzare *volatile* nel kernel per le +strutture dati condivise. In altre parole, gli è stato insegnato ad usare +*volatile* come una variabile atomica di facile utilizzo, ma non è così. +L'uso di *volatile* nel kernel non è quasi mai corretto; questo documento ne +descrive le ragioni. + +Il punto chiave da capire su *volatile* è che il suo scopo è quello di +sopprimere le ottimizzazioni, che non è quasi mai quello che si vuole. +Nel kernel si devono proteggere le strutture dati condivise contro accessi +concorrenti e indesiderati: questa è un'attività completamente diversa. +Il processo di protezione contro gli accessi concorrenti indesiderati eviterà +anche la maggior parte dei problemi relativi all'ottimizzazione in modo più +efficiente. + +Come *volatile*, le primitive del kernel che rendono sicuro l'accesso ai dati +(spinlock, mutex, barriere di sincronizzazione, ecc) sono progettate per +prevenire le ottimizzazioni indesiderate. Se vengono usate opportunamente, +non ci sarà bisogno di utilizzare *volatile*. Se vi sembra che *volatile* sia +comunque necessario, ci dev'essere quasi sicuramente un baco da qualche parte. +In un pezzo di codice kernel scritto a dovere, *volatile* può solo servire a +rallentare le cose. + +Considerate questo tipico blocco di codice kernel:: + + spin_lock(&the_lock); + do_something_on(&shared_data); + do_something_else_with(&shared_data); + spin_unlock(&the_lock); + +Se tutto il codice seguisse le regole di sincronizzazione, il valore di un +dato condiviso non potrebbe cambiare inaspettatamente mentre si trattiene un +lock. Un qualsiasi altro blocco di codice che vorrà usare quel dato rimarrà +in attesa del lock. Gli spinlock agiscono come barriere di sincronizzazione +- sono stati esplicitamente scritti per agire così - il che significa che gli +accessi al dato condiviso non saranno ottimizzati. Quindi il compilatore +potrebbe pensare di sapere cosa ci sarà nel dato condiviso ma la chiamata +spin_lock(), che agisce come una barriera di sincronizzazione, gli imporrà di +dimenticarsi tutto ciò che sapeva su di esso. + +Se il dato condiviso fosse stato dichiarato come *volatile*, la +sincronizzazione rimarrebbe comunque necessaria. Ma verrà impedito al +compilatore di ottimizzare gli accessi al dato anche _dentro_ alla sezione +critica, dove sappiamo che in realtà nessun altro può accedervi. Mentre si +trattiene un lock, il dato condiviso non è *volatile*. Quando si ha a che +fare con dei dati condivisi, un'opportuna sincronizzazione rende inutile +l'uso di *volatile* - anzi potenzialmente dannoso. + +L'uso di *volatile* fu originalmente pensato per l'accesso ai registri di I/O +mappati in memoria. All'interno del kernel, l'accesso ai registri, dovrebbe +essere protetto dai lock, ma si potrebbe anche desiderare che il compilatore +non "ottimizzi" l'accesso ai registri all'interno di una sezione critica. +Ma, all'interno del kernel, l'accesso alla memoria di I/O viene sempre fatto +attraverso funzioni d'accesso; accedere alla memoria di I/O direttamente +con i puntatori è sconsigliato e non funziona su tutte le architetture. +Queste funzioni d'accesso sono scritte per evitare ottimizzazioni indesiderate, +quindi, di nuovo, *volatile* è inutile. + +Un'altra situazione dove qualcuno potrebbe essere tentato dall'uso di +*volatile*, è nel caso in cui il processore è in un'attesa attiva sul valore +di una variabile. Il modo giusto di fare questo tipo di attesa è il seguente:: + + while (my_variable != what_i_want) + cpu_relax(); + +La chiamata cpu_relax() può ridurre il consumo di energia del processore +o cedere il passo ad un processore hyperthreaded gemello; funziona anche come +una barriera per il compilatore, quindi, ancora una volta, *volatile* non è +necessario. Ovviamente, tanto per puntualizzare, le attese attive sono +generalmente un atto antisociale. + +Ci sono comunque alcune rare situazioni dove l'uso di *volatile* nel kernel +ha senso: + + - Le funzioni d'accesso sopracitate potrebbero usare *volatile* su quelle + architetture che supportano l'accesso diretto alla memoria di I/O. + In pratica, ogni chiamata ad una funzione d'accesso diventa una piccola + sezione critica a se stante, e garantisce che l'accesso avvenga secondo + le aspettative del programmatore. + + - I codice *inline assembly* che fa cambiamenti nella memoria, ma che non + ha altri effetti espliciti, rischia di essere rimosso da GCC. Aggiungere + la parola chiave *volatile* a questo codice ne previene la rimozione. + + - La variabile jiffies è speciale in quanto assume un valore diverso ogni + volta che viene letta ma può essere lette senza alcuna sincronizzazione. + Quindi jiffies può essere *volatile*, ma l'aggiunta ad altre variabili di + questo è sconsigliata. Jiffies è considerata uno "stupido retaggio" + (parole di Linus) in questo contesto; correggerla non ne varrebbe la pena e + causerebbe più problemi. + + - I puntatori a delle strutture dati in una memoria coerente che potrebbe + essere modificata da dispositivi di I/O può, a volte, essere legittimamente + *volatile*. Un esempio pratico può essere quello di un adattatore di rete + che utilizza un puntatore ad un buffer circolare, questo viene cambiato + dall'adattatore per indicare quali descrittori sono stati processati. + +Per la maggior parte del codice, nessuna delle giustificazioni sopracitate può +essere considerata. Di conseguenza, l'uso di *volatile* è probabile che venga +visto come un baco e porterà a verifiche aggiuntive. Gli sviluppatori tentati +dall'uso di *volatile* dovrebbero fermarsi e pensare a cosa vogliono davvero +ottenere. + +Le modifiche che rimuovono variabili *volatile* sono generalmente ben accette +- purché accompagnate da una giustificazione che dimostri che i problemi di +concorrenza siano stati opportunamente considerati. + +Riferimenti +=========== + +[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/233481/ + +[2] http://lwn.net/Articles/233482/ + +Crediti +======= + +Impulso e ricerca originale di Randy Dunlap + +Scritto da Jonathan Corbet + +Migliorato dai commenti di Satyam Sharma, Johannes Stezenbach, Jesper +Juhl, Heikki Orsila, H.
