Анатомия процесса загрузки Linux — от инициализации ядра до systemd

Загрузка операционной системы — процесс многоступенчатый и разнообразный. Несколько лет назад я писал о процессе загрузки сервера x86 в режимах Legacy и UEFI , но акцент тогда был именно на «железной» части. Пришло время сместить внимание на программную составляющую. Посмотрим, какие стадии преодолевает ядро Linux, что происходит, и какие «фишки» можно выполнить на старте системы. Читать далее →

Как незаметная indirect-зависимость в Go дописала ручку в ваш HTTP-сервер

Аккуратный Go-сервис на net/http с единственной ручкой /time. Обновляем одну библиотеку через go get, не трогая свой код. После рестарта в сервисе появляется ручка /__injected, которая отдаёт строки из памяти процесса. Мы её не регистрировали — а пакет, который это сделал, формально даже не используется. Разбираю шаг за шагом, как такое возможно: модель зависимостей Go и коварство //indirect, тихий вход через init(), сканирование кучи и unsafe. Pointer для поиска ServeMux в работающем сервере. И, конечно, как от этого защищаться — от аудита зависимостей до seccomp и read-only ФС. Весь код — в репозитории, «вредонос» написан в учебных целях. Запускать только в песочнице. Разобрать «вредоноса»

Init vs SystemD

This subject was highlighted in an interesting manner by the author.
The article is also very informative. You will learn a few to a lot of things about both systems.

From my perspective the author seems to have forgotten one important thing.

He stated himself that Init follows the UNIX, not Linux, principle of doing one thing good.

The UNIX principle is way older than Linux itself, which makes me think that the author has not been around long enough, to know how interesting of a monstrosity systemD has become.

Regardless whether you like Init or systemD, you have to know that they have totally different concepts with similar final goals but in different manners.

The philosophies coding styles, modus operandi & configuration, differ so wildly from one to another, that you should not compare them, AT ALL

Never compare systemD with Init!

Realize one thing, if you do not want to see systemD, ever you have to migrate to one of the more advanced Open Source environments.

You shall be safe in freeBSD, openBSD, netBSD, ghostBSD, Open Indiana, Tribblix, Illumos, or any of the others which have been around much longer than Linus Torvalds was even an ID {idea} in the balls of his father.
You can even go for Open DOS, sinds that's single tasking no Init is needed

You should also not forget that you can always, write & program your own Init system or modify the current Init system itself, if you are stuck on a Linux flavor.

Stop bitching about which system is better.

They are totally different.

Live with one of them or write your own

Init is Open Source
systemD is Open Source

Use the power, choose or fork your favourite

Okay, I heard that runit init system is pretty fast. But was not ready for it...

Void Linux + Sway + TUIGreet. From decrypting LUKS to login screen (according to dmesg) - 0.8 seconds.
From pushing the button to login screen (excluding GRUB menu and typing in LUKS password) - just about 7 seconds.

Wild. Just wild.

So, I rescued a 12-year-old Macbook Pro, given up by its owner because Apple had orphaned it from security updates, and also it was suffering from Apple High-Qwality Spicy Pillow Syndrome.

I replaced the battery and installed Linux on it.

And I gotta say, this was the most satisfying thing I've done with a keyboard in years:

# apt-get purge systemd libnss-systemd

#Devuan Excalibur installed/upgraded from Debian Trixie like a champ. Now I don't have to deal with extraneous horseshit when Lennart adds systemd-mountd, systemd-sshd, systemd-bourne-shell, systemd-emacs, etc, etc...

Thanks to @landley for the post that finally convinced me to give Devuan a go. I'd been thinking about it for years, but didn't feel like setting aside a bunch of debugging time which I assumed would be needed.

Now to figure out how to switch to s6 from runit. ( @ska )

I always use alsamixer -c0 up to cxx from the OSS ALSA period since it's ncurses based & faster than GUI programs.

Many things in Linux were changed for good reason, but some are questionable. I don't use systemD init is easier to maintain. It aint broke so KISS

Pipewire is fun to add FX in my signal chain to my DAW, but for serious work I have a physical FX rack.
I love pavucontrol

I understand why Wayland was made and only have it on my SBC Raspberry Pi5

If you look around you should still be able to find Luke Mewburn's paper on #MewburnRC .

Similarly, what Linux people erroneously call "sysvinit" is actually van Smoorenburg init+rc created (by Miquel van Smoorenburg) for Minix in 1992.

It's not from #Unix System 5 at all, as that had obsoleted R3's init+rc system years before 1992 and gone on to the AIX SRC, and the SAF, SAC, ttymon, SMF, and stuff still in #Illumos today.

@jjba23 This is well cool, though at the end of the day does almost the same jobs as #shepherd, #init and #mcron: kick arbitrary guile code off whenever the circumstances are right.

I personally see the short-term future going in the direction of Goblins\shepherd. Once fully functional I think there will be all sorts of possibilities for using it in diverse scenarios, from system initialization to project building and HPC scheduling.

Keep up the good work, it is only moving us forwards! #guix
