QUESTION
Background
I am bringing up a Linux kernel via Yocto for some vendor-provided embedded hardware. I have configured the image to boot via fitImage with an initramfs and no rootfs (there is persistent storage but this is entirely for userspace application use). Think PXE live image and you won't be far off.
Things have been going well until my initramfs image crossed the ~128MB mark. Below this and everything boots as expected and all drivers are bound without issue. Above this mark and the kernel still boots but many drivers, though not all, are not bound. This is quite perplexing as all drivers are statically built into the kernel (no modules are used on this platform). Unfortunately, one of these modules runs the platform watchdog which causes entirely predictable reboots.
Thus far I have verified that all of the symbols are present in the vmlinux image:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-13 at 23:24So, like most kernel issues the real problem was not where I thought it was. As it turns out, the problem was caused by one of the other drivers earlier in the init list hanging the core, preventing the watchdog driver from being registered. How this is affected by the initramfs is beyond me and is its own question.
For anyone who comes across this in the future, the answers to my specific questions above are listed below:
- How can I verify a given symbol is included in the final linux.bin?
I was not able to figure out how to do this statically. That said, I was able to print the addresses of the init functions at runtime by adding printk()
s to do_initcall_level
in init/main.c
. The addresses printed can then be compared to the output of objdump on vmlinux (see my question for the incantation).
A really useful and in-depth description of the initcall process can be found here.
Note that you can also turn on initcall_debug
, which will print each function name. In my case I wanted raw addresses which is why I chose the printk()
method.
- What mechanisms would affect inclusion or exclusion of a given symbol at build time?
Most of this boils down to your .config. The vast majority of inclusion / exclusion is done via the preprocessor. Other useful items are the linker script common header at include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
and the platform linker script at for your device arch//*/*.lds
.
- Which pieces of the kernel build and runtime are affected by initramfs size?
No idea on this one, still.
- Are there any other tools / techniques / tribal wisdom which can help debug this situation?

Background:
I have a bare metal Kubernetes cluster. The master node is diskful, however all of the worker nodes are diskless, and PXE boot off of a machine which provides their OS image and non-volatile NFS mount points.
We found early on that we needed some kind of non-volatile storage so that the diskless nodes could store their configurations, kubernetes secrets, SSL keys, etc... Without the non-volatile storage, the nodes would have to be deleted and rejoined to the cluster every time they rebooted, which is obviously a pain.
So we created NFS mount partitions for /etc/kubernetes and /var/lib/kubelet so that the nodes could remember who they were and rejoin the cluster after a reboot.
The Problem:
However, we have run into a problem with kubeadm: It unmounts/remounts /var/lib/kubelet whenever you run kubeadm join. This leads to kubelet puking and dying because it can't find the appropriate device. The specific error is:

Answered 2021-Jan-26 at 08:48This is a known issue but fortunately this is fixed just couple of days back - https://github.com/google/cadvisor/pull/2787.
This hasn't been cut into a release yet. While this might make into 1.20.x, not really sure about previous versions. Might want to request for a backport on the issue at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/98009 if required.
QUESTION
I assume the answer is yes but I haven't explicitly found an assertion of this for every possible situation.
Given an intricate inheritance tree that probably would require step by step upcasting due to intermediate non virtual inheritance and also after multiple chains of upwards casting and downwards dynamic casting of pointers (always starting from the very same instance) the final address to the virtual base of that instance is guaranteed to be the same?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-15 at 14:12The answer is yes. You should try to use C++ style code and not C style. When you use C style, you do not get all of the features you can use in c++ style for your code. That is why C++ exists, it is object-oriented. ;)
EDIT: C style cast* EDIT: You can use things like tutorialspoint for help on this stuff!
- Have a great day!
QUESTION
I'm looking at an instance of ICollection called pxe in the VS Watch window. I understand that the Raw View is meant to show the object without anything extra added. The property IsReadOnly is a member of the ICollection interface and is public by default. Why is it listed in the Non-public members in the Watch window?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-11 at 04:41ReadonlyCollection
implements both IList
and ICollection
and both interfaces contains IsReadOnly
property. ReadonlyCollection
implements this property explicitly, so you cannot access it without casting ReadonlyCollection
to IList
or ICollection
, and so visual studio treat it as non-public member

QUESTION
I'm trying to create a VM from an .iso file on my computer. In my boot order settings, the DVD Drive with as value the .iso is at the top. I've tried several different VM's (Ubuntu18.04, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016) all of which give me the same problem where they don't boot from the .iso file. Pressing any key doesn't do anything.
I followed tutorials from both my lecturers and articles online when creating the VM's.
I am clueless as to what I'm doing wrong, so any help is appreciated

Changing to Generation 2 VM is not necessary.
QUESTION
I have setup a live CentOS 7 that is booted via PXE if the client is connected to a specified network port.
Once the Linux is booted up, I have scripted a small logic that compares if there is a newer image version available on a central host than it is already deployed on the client. This is done with comparing the contents of a versions file. If there is a newer version, the image should be deployed on the client. Else only parts of the Image (qcow2-Files) should be replaced to safe time. Since the Image is up to 1TB I do not want to apply the image at any case. It would also take too long.
On the client, there is a volume group that consists of lvms in different sizes and also "normal" partitions (like /dev/sda1).
Is there a way to deploy a whole partition structure using a cli? I already figured this to recover one disk out of the whole system. But this would make a lot of effort to script around that to get the destination structure I want.
I found out that there is no way to "run" clonezilla as a cli (which I actually cannot understand why this does not exist). I was trying to use parts of the clonezilla live iso with the command "ocs-sr", but I stuck somewhere and it always gives me a "unknown commands"-Error.
For my case the best would be a thing like:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-May-04 at 12:40I've found that using Clonezilla's preparation script does the thing for me. You can use ocs_prerun parameter that will run a script before clonezilla will do anything. If you are stuck into a company hardened image, you can try this to setup a (ubuntu) Linux with the needed programs on it.

I'm looking in way to convert already prepared RHEL 7.7 installed on VMware to a LiveCD.
Basically the current installed OS have all ISO and Tools needed for some specific action, and it would be great help if I could just convert it to an ISO and boot it from network ( PXE ) or from a CD.
I have tried Linux Live Kit: https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live. Although it finished OK, the resultant ISO is stuck on boot, where it just offer the boot menu and if I click on the boot linux it just start count down over and over..
Is there some easy tool to convert an installed OS to a live CD?
