Modprobe/modules_disabled
前者包含一个路径指向内核模块加载器(kernel module loader),用于加载内核模块;而后一个用于控制是否允许在系统启动后热插拔模块,即进行modprobe/rmmod操作,0表示不禁止;
justin_$ more modprobe
/sbin/modprobe
Linux启动初始化时需执行/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit,而该脚本其中一项就是加载用户自定义模块/etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules
该系统在启动时会自动加载nvram/floppy/parport/lp/snd-powermac系统
justin_$ ls
udev-stw.modules
justin_$ more udev-stw.modules
#!/bin/sh
MODULES="nvram floppy parport lp snd-powermac"
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/udev-stw ] && . /etc/sysconfig/udev-stw
for i in $MODULES ; do
modprobe $i >/dev/null 2>&1
done
而执行完rc.sysinit后,则要启动外挂模块/etc/modprobe.conf,该文件用来修改模块的部分选项配置
justin_$ more /etc/modprobe.conf

系统支持的所有模块位于/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel,
threads-max
系统允许的最大线程数
justin_$ more threads-max

Linux无法直接控制单个进程可拥有的线程数,但有参考公式max = VM/stack_size,默认stack为8k,可通过降低stack大小或增加虚拟内存来调大每个进程可拥有的最大线程数;
对于支持多线程的程序如Java,有可能会遇到一个进程无法创建更多线程的情形,其原因多种多样,而OS端可能由此参数造成;

hung_task_panic/ softlockup_thresh
linux下每个CPU都有一个看门狗(watchdog)进程,可通过ps -ef | grep -i watchdog查看,该进程每秒获取其CPU的当前时间戳并保存于per-CPU,而timer interrupt()会调用softlock_tick(),该函数比较CPU当前时间与per-CPU保存的时间,若差值大于softlockup_thresh则系统产生一条告警信息,
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 15s! [swapper:0] Pid: 0
如遇到此情形可配置kdump自动产生vcore跟踪文件;
默认情况下,当出现soft lockup时系统仅产生告警信息,而将hung_task_panic设置为1时系统会panic;

nmi_watchdog
NMI watchdog(non maskable interrupt)又称硬件watchdog,用于检测OS是否hang,系统硬件定期产生一个NMI,而每个NMI调用内核查看其中断数量,如果一段时间(10秒)后其数量没有显著增长,则判定系统已经hung,接下来启用panic机制即重启OS,如果开启了Kdump还会产生crash dump文件;
APIC(advanced programmable interrupt controller):高级可编程中断控制器,默认内置于各个x86CPU中,在SMP中用于CPU间的中断;比较高档的主板配备有IO-APIC,负责收集硬件设备的中断请求并转发给APIC;
要使用NMI Watchdog必须先激活APIC,SMP内核默认启动
该参数有2个选项:0不激活;1/2激活,有的硬件支持1有的支持2;
当前系统便没有激活;

NMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts
小结:
当watchdog启动后,如果/dev/watchdog一定时间间隔内没有被更新,则判定系统hang并根据相应参数决定是否重启
Watchdog有两种:软件/硬件模式,前者基于hrtimer而后者基于perf子系统,两者不能同时运行

panic_on_oops
内核oops不同于panic,后者会导致OS重启,而设备驱动引发的oops通常不会如此;
Oops是由于内核引用了无效指针;发生于用户空间程序通常产生一个段错误segfault,而用户态程序自身无法恢复;发生于内核空间时则称作oops;
由于X86架构限制,当linux系统panic时 默认无法保存crash dump,因为此时内核不工作无法保存当前内存信息,SPARC架构则可完成,而RedHat分别开发了NetDump/Diskdump从而做到此功能;

其实slow-work是个线程池机制,用于执行耗时相对较长的任务;
Linux中有slow-work的数据结构;
使用前需要调用int ret = slow_work_register_user();注册;
