介绍
本文档是一篇关于Linux Kernel 2.6.36的最简优化指南。作者旨在编译一份性能最佳且适合程序开发用的内核(带gnome图形界面)。
本文提及的内核调优,主要是通过选择最佳编译选项,删除无用驱动,减少内核尺寸,关闭部分安全特性等方式来进行的。
优化后的效果,主要体现在OS启动时间,启动后的内存占用以及应用程序运行性能。
由于作者水平有限,如果描述错误,还请不吝指教。
运行环境
虚拟机 | Virtualbox 4.0.2 |
CPU | Core i7 四核,虚拟给2核 开启 vt-x, IO APIC |
磁盘 | 虚拟 10G的SATA磁盘 |
内存 | 分了2G物理内存 |
网卡 | 虚拟 Intel PRO/1000 MT |
显卡 | 128M 显存 |
其他 | USB,串口,声卡全关 |
作者是在虚拟机中编译的内核,如果你与作者的运行环境不同,则本文档中的部分描述可能会与你的实际情况有一定出入。
不过,相信大部分用户在看到选项释义时,能做出适合自己的选择。

红色注释为禁用该选项的理由和解释。
黑色注释为默认选择的选项含义解释。
其余未默认选择的选项,不做任何解释。
General setup —>
[ ] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers <=== 显示尚在开发中或尚未完成的代码与驱动. 有许多设备可能必需选择这个选项才能进行配置. 我选择关闭,首先我不是内核或驱动开发人员,其次,我没有碰到哪个设备需要开启这个选项才能使用的。大家可以放心禁用,最多出问题后,再开启。
() Local version – append to kernel release
[ ] Automatically append version information to the version string
Kernel compression mode (Bzip2) —> <=== 对比默认的Gzip,Bzip2是一个基于Burrows- Wheeler 变换的无损压缩软件,压缩效果比传统的LZ77/LZ78压缩算法来得好。建议选择它。
[*] Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap) // 将使你的内核支持虚拟内存。这个虚拟内存在LINUX中就是SWAP分区。除非你不想要SWAP分区,否则这里必选Y。
[*] System V IPC // System V进程间通信(IPC)支持,于处理器在程序之间同步和交换信息,如果不选这项,很多程序运行不起来,特别地,你想在LINUX下运行 DOS仿真程序,你必须要选Y。
[*] BSD Process Accounting // 这是允许用户进程访问内核,将账户信息写入文件中。这通常被认为是个好主意,建议你最好将它选上。将进程的统计信息写入文件的用户级系统调用,主要包括进程的创建时间/创建者/内存占用等信息。
[ ] BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format
[ ] Export task/process statistics through netlink (EXPERIMENTAL) <=== 处于实验阶段的功能。通过通用的网络输出工作/进程的相应数据,和BSD不同的是,这些数据在进程运行的时候就可以通过相关命令访问。和BSD类似,数据将在进程结束时送入用户空间。不清楚,选N
[ ] Auditing support <=== 审计支持,用于和内核的某些子模块同时工作,(例如SELinux)需要它,只有同时选择其子项才能对系统调用进行审计。我的使用场景主要是开发应用程序,不需要那么高的安全性,另外安全总是以牺牲性能为代价
RCU Subsystem —> // 非对称读写锁系统 是一种高性能的kernel锁机制,适用于读多写少环境
RCU Implementation (Tree-based hierarchical RCU) —>
< > Kernel .config support
(18) Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)
[ ] Control Group support —><=== cgroups支持,文档资料,cgroups主要作用是给进程分组,并可以动态调控进程组的CPU占用率。比如A进程分到apple组,给予20%CPU占用率,E进程分easy组,给予50%CPU占用率,最高100%。我目前没有此类应用场景,用到时会选择将其编译进去。
[ ] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools
[ ] Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs) <=== 在某些文件系统上(比如debugfs)提供从内核空间向用户空间传递大量数据的接口,我目前没有此类应用场景
-*- Namespaces support
[ ] UTS namespace <=== 我没有已安装的应用程序要用到 UTS ns
[ ] IPC namespace <=== 我没有已安装的应用程序要用到 IPC ns
[ ] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support <=== 用于在真正内核装载前,做一些操作(俗称两阶段启动),比如加载module,mount一些非root分区,提供灾难恢复shell环境等,资料,我是期望直接从kernel image直接启动,所以没选它
[ ] Optimize for size <=== 这个选项将在GCC命令后用 “-Os” 代替 “-O2″参数,这样可以得到更小的内核。没必要选。选上了有时会产生错误的二进制代码。
[ ] Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) —>
-*- Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops
[] Include all symbols in kallsyms <=== 在kallsyms中包含内核知道的所有符号,内核将会 增大300K,不调式内核关闭
[] Do an extra kallsyms pass <=== 除非你在kallsyms中发现了bug并需要报告这个bug才打开该选项
Kernel Performance Events And Counters —>
-*- Kernel performance events and counters // CPU 性能监听器,包括 CPU同一时间执行指令数,cache miss数,分支预测失败次数(Branch misprediction)。调优其他程序时或许会用到,比如JVM
[ ] Debug: use vmalloc to back perf mmap() buffers < === 调试特性关闭
[ ] Kernel performance counters (old config option)
[ ] Disable heap randomization
Choose SLAB allocator (SLUB (Unqueued Allocator)) —>
[ ] Profiling support (EXPERIMENTAL) <=== 我不是内核开发人员,不需要profiling内核,用到时再启用。如果要用OProfiler的同学请启用。
[ ] Kprobes <=== 我不是内核开发人员,不需要调试内核
GCOV-based kernel profiling —>
[ ] Enable gcov-based kernel profiling
[*] Enable loadable module support —> // 打开可加载模块支持,如果打开它则必须通过”make modules_install”把内核模块安装在/lib/modules/中这个选项可以让你的内核支持模块
— Enable loadable module support
[ ] Forced module loading
[*] Module unloading // 允许卸载已经加载的模块
[ ] Module versioning support
[ ] Source checksum for all modules
-*- Enable the block layer —>
— Enable the block layer
[*] Support for large (2TB+) block devices and files // 大硬盘支持,SATA设备如果不选,会发生 kernel panic,具体原因未知
[ ] Block layer SG support v4 <=== 支持通用scsi块设备第4版,我用的是SATA
[ ] Block layer data integrity support
IO Schedulers —> // IO调度器支持,不同程序可以会选用不同的调度策略,这里我们不要动他
<*> Anticipatory I/O scheduler
<*> Deadline I/O scheduler
<*> CFQ I/O scheduler
Default I/O scheduler (CFQ) —>
Processor type and features —>
[*] Tickless System (Dynamic Ticks) // 动态时间片系统,这项技术能让新内核运行的更有效率,并且更省电。动态时间片意思是当CPU处于空闲时,降低内核定时器的轮询频率
[*] High Resolution Timer Support // 我有的时候要测试 Real Time JVM,希望内核能支持这种高响应速度的内核定时器,一般用户可关闭
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support // 对称多处理器支持,如果你有多个CPU或者使用的是多核CPU就选上。
[ ] Support sparse irq numbering <=== 支持稀有的中断编号,关闭
[ ] Enable MPS table < === mps多处理器规范,关闭
[ ] Support for big SMP systems with more than 8 CPUs
[ ] Support for extended (non-PC) x86 platforms <=== 我是X86平台,不需要再支持其他平台
[*] Single-depth WCHAN output // 跟 proc 相关的最好不要关
[ ] Paravirtualized guest support —>
— Paravirtualized guest support
[*] Disable Bootmem code // 优化内核中一些复杂的初始化内存分配逻辑
[ ] Memtest
Processor family (Core 2/newer Xeon) —> <=== 这里请选择对应的CPU,我是 core 2 duo
[ ] Generic x86 support <=== 通用x86支持, 如果你的CPU能够在上述”Processor family”中找到就别选了
[*] HPET Timer Support // HPET时钟支持。允许内核使用 HPET 。HPET是替代8254芯片的新一代定时器,i686及以上级别的主板都支持,可以安全的选上。但是,HEPT只会在支持它的平台和BIOS上运行。如 果不支持,8254将会激活。选N,将继续使用8254时钟
(8) Maximum number of CPUs // 支持的最大CPU数,每增加一个内核将增加8K体积
[ ] SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support < === 支持Intel的超线程(HT)技术超线程调度器在某些情况下将会对 Intel Pentium 4 HT系列有较好的支持。如果你不清楚,选N
[*] Multi-core scheduler support // 针对多核CPU进行调度策略优化多核调度机制支持,双核的CPU要选。多核心调度在某些情况下将会对多核的CPU系列有较好的支持。
Preemption Model (Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)) —> // 内核抢占模式一些优先级很高的程序可以先让一些低优先级的程序执行,即使这些程序是在核心态下执行。从而减少内核潜伏期,提高系统的响应。当然在一些特殊 的点的内核是不可抢先的,比如内核中的调度程序自身在执行时就是不可被抢先的。这个特性可以提高桌面系统、实时系统的性能。
[*] Reroute for broken boot IRQs // 防止同时收到多个boot IRQ(中断)时,系统混乱
[*] Machine Check Exception // 让CPU检测到系统故障时通知内核,以便内核采取相应的措施(如过热关机等)
[*] Intel MCE features
[ ] AMD MCE features <=== 我是intel CPU
[ ] Support for old Pentium 5 / WinChip machine checks
< > Machine check injector support
< > Toshiba Laptop support
< > Dell laptop support
[ ] Enable X86 board specific fixups for reboot <=== 修正某些旧x86主板的重起bug,这种主板基本绝种了
<*> /dev/cpu/microcode – microcode support // 是否支持Intel IA32架构的CPU。这个选项将让你可以更新Intel IA32系列处理器的微代码,显然你需要到网上去下载最新的代码,LINUX不提供这些代码。当然你还必须在文件系统选项中选择/dev file system support才能正常的使用它。如果你把它译为模块 ,它将是microcode。IA32主要用于高于4GB的内存。详见下面的“高内存选项”。使用不随Linux内核发行的IA32微代码,你必需有IA32微代 码二进制文件,仅对Intel的CPU有效
[*] Intel microcode patch loading support
[ ] AMD microcode patch loading support <=== 我是intel CPU
<*> /dev/cpu/*/msr – Model-specific register support // 是否打开CPU特殊功能寄存器的功能。这个选项桌面用户一般用不到,它主要用在Intel的嵌入式CPU中的,这个寄存器的作用也依赖与不同的CPU类型 而有所不同,一般可以用来改变一些CPU原有物理结构的用途,但不同的CPU用途差别也很大。在多cpu系统中让特权CPU访问x86的MSR寄存器
<*> /dev/cpu/*/cpuid – CPU information support // 是否打开记录CPU相关信息功能。这会在/dev/cpu中建立一系列的设备文件,用以让过程去访问指定的CPU。能从/dev/cpu/x/cpuid 获得CPU的唯一标识符(CPUID)
High Memory Support (4GB) —>
[ ] Enable KSM for page merging
(4096) Low address space to protect from user allocation
[ ] Enable recovery from hardware memory errors
[ ] Allocate 3rd-level pagetables from highmem <=== 在内存很多(大于4G)的机器上将用户空间的页表放到高位内存区,以节约宝贵的低端内存 ,我只虚拟了1G
[ ] Check for low memory corruption <=== 低位内存脏数据检查,默认是每60秒检查一次。一般这种脏数据是因某些Bios处理不当引起的。资料链接。我信任我目前的虚拟bios版本
[ ] Reserve low 64K of RAM on AMI/Phoenix BIOSen <=== 我不是 AMI/Phoenix BIOS
[ ] Math emulation
-*- MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support // 内存类型区域寄存器。在 Intel P6 系列处理器(Pentium Pro, Pentium II 和更新的)上,MTRR将会用来规定和控制处理器访问某段内存区域的策略。如果你在PCI或者AGP总线上有VGA卡,这将非常有用。可以提升图像的传送 速度2.5倍以上。选Y,会生成文件/proc/mtrr,它可以用来操纵 你的处理器的MTRR。典型地,X server 会用到。这段代码有着通用的接口,其他CPU的寄存器同样能够使用该功能。Cyrix 6×86, 6×86MX和 M II处理器有ARR,它和 MTRR有着类似的功能。AMD K6-2/ K6-3有两个MTRR, Centaur C6有8个MCR允许复合写入。所有这些处理器都支持这段代码,你可以选Y如果你有以上处理器。选Y同样可以修正SMP BIOS的问题,它仅为第一个CPU提供MTRR,而不为其他的提供。这会导致各种各样的问题,所以选Y是明智的。你可以安全地选Y,即使你的机器没有 MTRR。这会给内核增加9KB。打开它可以提升PCI/AGP总线上的显卡2倍以上的速度,并且可以修正某些BIOS错误
[ ] MTRR cleanup support
[ ] EFI runtime service support <=== 我机器是BIOS引导的,用不到EFI(Extensible Firmware Interface),如果你有兴趣体验EFI,可以在Virtualbox中开启
[ ] Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode <=== 只有嵌入式系统可以不选
[ ] Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)
Timer frequency (1000 HZ) —> // Timer frequency (1000 HZ) —>内核时钟频率 桌面1000 服务器100或250
[ ] kexec system call <=== kexec 系统调用。kexec是一个用来关闭你当前内核,然后开启另一个内核的系统调用。它和重启很像,但是它不访问系统固件。由于和重启很像,你可以启动任何内 核,不仅仅 是LINUX。kexec这个名字是从 exec 系统调用来的。它只是一个进程,可以确定硬件是否正确关闭,Linus本人都没话说,估计是受害不浅。我们当然不能上当,选N!提供kexec系统调用, 可以不必重启而切换到另一个内核,如果需要就选择,对大多数用户来说并不需要
[ ] kernel crash dumps <=== 内核崩溃时,dump运行时信息。就算crash了,我也不会去调试内核的core dump
[ ] Build a relocatable kernel <=== 官方说明 (建立一个移动的内核,并增加10%的内核尺寸,运行时会被丢弃),我认为没实质性的作用
