Linux Kernel in a Nutshell 笔记(三)

5.Install and Booting from a kernel
6.Upgrading a Kernel

通过 make 得到了可执行的二进制文件以及内核模块，接下来需要安装，下面所有的步骤都需要 root 权限。

大多数发行版本都有个叫 installkernel 的脚本，该脚本可以将内核安装到正确的位置并且修改 bootloader，该脚本通常位于 mkinitrd 的包中。ubuntu 下的叫 initramfs-tools:
$ sudo apt-cache show initramfs-tools | head
Package: initramfs-tools
Priority: required
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 432
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <[email protected]>
Original-Maintainer: Debian kernel team <[email protected]>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.92bubuntu78
Provides: linux-initramfs-tool
Depends: initramfs-tools-bin (= 0.92bubuntu78), klibc-utils (>= 1.5.9-1), busybox-initramfs (>= 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu5), cpio, module-init-tools, udev (>= 147~-5), findutils (>= 4.2.24), util-linux (>> 2.15~rc1)

CentOS 下的:
$ sudo yum info mkinitrd.x86_64
Name       : mkinitrd
Arch       : x86_64

Repo       : installed
Summary    : Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules.
License    : GPL
Description: Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk
           : (initrd) images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload
           : the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root
           : filesystem.
           :
           : In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for
           : any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since
           : the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't
           : able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The
           : initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally
           : LILO) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is
           : loaded. The ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows
           : the kernel to mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program
           : creates such a ramdisk using information found in the
           : /etc/modules.conf file.

如果先前在修改 .config 文件时有模块的选项，现在则需要安装：
[email protected]ad:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ sudo make modules_install
INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko
INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
DEPMOD 2.6.32.28

这会将生成的新模块安装到 /lib/modules/2.6.32.28/ 下面。

接下来就可以安装内核了：
[email protected]:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ sudo make install
sh /home/jaseywang/linux/linux-2.6.32.28/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.32.28 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"

上面的命令会做以下事情：
1.确认 kernel 被正确的 build。
2.将 kernel 安装到 /boot/ 目录下，根据版本号将其重命名
3.生成 ramdisk，包括用到前面 make modules_install 生成的模块
4.通知 bootloader 修改相应的文件，这个在 ubuntu 上需要手动完成

如果你的系统中没有 installkernel 脚本，可以手动完成。安装模块:
[email protected]:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ sudo make modules_install

手动复制内核到 /boot/ 目录：
[email protected]:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ make kernelversion
2.6.32.28

[email protected]:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ sudo cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.32.28 [email protected]:~/linux/linux-2.6.32.28$ sudo cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.32.28

修改 grub 文件。
[email protected]:/boot$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32.28
sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32.28

如果需要升级一个内核，步骤跟上面的差不多:
1.获取 patch 文件
2.打 patch
3.根据已有的 .config 生成新的 .config 文件
4.build
5.install

其中 4、5 两步骤跟之前一样，下面叙述 1、2、3 步骤。补丁怎么打？
* stable kernel patch apply to the base kernel version。也就是说 2.6.17.10 patch 只适用于 2.6.17 版本的内核，2.6.17.10 patch 不适用于 2.6.17.9 内核版本
* base kernel release patches only apply to the previous base kernel version。也就是说 2.6.18 patch 只适用于 2.6.17 内核版本，不会适用于 2.6.17.x 的版本。
* Incremental patches updrade from a specific release to the next release。

[email protected]:~/linux$ cp linux-2.6.32.28/.config good_config [email protected]:~/linux$ ls

可以发现大了补之后，内核的版本号已经改变了。以前使用 make menuconfig，现在只要使用 oldconfig 就可以了，因为是基于现在的 .config 文件修改的，只需要修改 patch 新增加的选项:
$ make oldconfig

还有叫 silentoldconfig 的选项，跟上面的类似，不同的是有问才有答。接下来的跟之前的都一样。
