Slax启动过程研究

1. Slax 简介#

Slax是一个基于linux操作系统的live发行版,Slax启动后会把整个系统存储在内存中,并通过aufs联合挂载程序模块和可写层的方式,实现系统运行和修改。Slax采用模块化的设计的程序包管理方式(启用、禁用程序包模块),并提供了广泛的预安装软件,包括优良架构的图形用户界面,以及为系统管理员准备的高效的修复工具。

2. Slax 安装#

slax通过运行slax/boot目录下的脚本bootinst.sh完成安装,该脚本将检测slax目录所在分区和硬盘情况,并将syslinux安装至boot目录,使用dd将bootload写入mbr并设置为活动,实现对系统的引导。同时,boot目录下提供系统启动需要的配置文件、内核等。

[root@localhost boot]# ls
bootinst.bat  CHANGELOG    initrfs.img  mbr.bin    runadmin.vbs  syslinux.com  vmlinuz
bootinst.sh  extlinux.exe  isolinux.bin  memtest    samedisk.vbs  syslinux.exe  zblack.png
bootlogo.png  help.txt      makeiso.sh    pxelinux.0  syslinux.cfg  vesamenu.c32

bootinst.sh 关键步骤:

  "$EXTLINUX" --install "$BOOT"
  dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if="$BOOT/mbr.bin" of="$DEV" 2>/dev/null

3. Slax 目录结构#

所有Slax 文件被放在根目录下的slx目录内,slax目录下主要存放了以.sb结尾的程序模块,启动过程中所有模块将被依次挂载,组成真正的根目录文件系统。其余重要子目录有:1. boot目录,用于保存内核、虚拟镜像、引导程序等与启动相关的内容;2. changes目录,作为可写层用于保存数据;3. modules目录,用于存放用户自定义的程序模块,该目录下所有模块启动时也将被系统挂载;4. bootcopy目录,存放其他需要植入根文件系统且不便或不需要制作成模块的文件,启动时将在所有模块挂载完成后,复制到根文件系统中。

4. Slax 启动过程#

BootLoader引导内核启动后,将进入initrfs.img构建的虚拟根环境,为了研究slax 的启动过程,我们将initrfs解压缩。

[root@localhost initrfs]# mv ../initrfs.img{.xz}
[root@localhost initrfs]# xz -d ../initrfs.img.xz
[root@localhost initrfs]# cpio -i -F ../initrfs.img
[root@localhost initrfs]# ls
bin  dev  etc  **init**  lib  lib64  mnt  proc  root  run  sys  tmp  usr  var
[root@localhost initrfs]# **ls lib -A**
cleanup  **.config  livekitlib**  modules

控制启动过程的即为initrfs中的init、lib/.config、lib/livekitlib 三个脚本文件,其中lib/.config设置系统变量,lib/livekitlib提供函数,init为主程序,通过调动以上变量、函数,完成系统初始化和根切换。另一个重要脚本为cleanup,它将在关机时被执行,确保所有挂载项目顺利卸载后关机。启动过程的主要阶段有:

*(1)Escaping initramfs ** BootLoader引导内核启动,挂载initrfs虚拟根镜像。init脚本将在根下创建m目录,并将之作为挂载点,将100%内存空间挂载为tmpfs。通过cp -a /?? /m 命令,巧妙地将除m之外的其他文件夹复制/m下(内存)。然后运行switch_root命令,将根切换至m目录(tmpfs)。

step 1: 第一次根切换过程

(2)Slax data lookup&Putting it together with AUFS 在创建必要目录挂载,挂载proc、sys虚拟目录,并通过mdev -s 、insert mod 自动、手动加载必要模块,完成系统初始化后,脚本逐一挂载并搜索预设目录,确认.sb文件;或在得到pxe参数时,连接远程http或tftp服务器下载所需的.sb文件。待.sb文件备齐,脚本创建toram目录,将硬盘中的.sb文件复制到内存,创建changes目录作为可写层首先挂载至aufs,后建立union目录并逐一将.sb合并挂载至aufs文件系统中,完成根文件系统构建过程。

step 2:构建根文件系统

**(3)Switching to the real root ** 在切换到真正的根目录前还需要一些准备工作,创建fstab文件和必要的设备文件。为了关机时进行逆操作,保证数据被完整写入磁盘,脚本创建live目录,并执行pivot_root 现有根目录折叠至live目录。最后chroot至真正的根目录,运行/sbin/init,进入正常系统引导过程。

step 3:切换至目标根目录

**(4)Run startup files ** /sbin/init --->/etc/inittab ---> /etc/rc.d/rc.S (略)

**(5)Shutdown ** 关机时的操作与开机相反,首先运行/mnt/live/lib/cleanup,脚本通过pivot_root 将根折回mnt/live/memory/union,随后逐步卸载挂载点,关闭电源。 (略)

5. Slax 启动脚本分析#

本部分以注释的形式分析系统启动脚本的实现过程:
(1) .config 文件:设置各种变量,可能是版本关系,多数并没有用到
#!/bin/bash
# This is a config file for Linux Live Kit build script.
# You shouldn't need to change anything expect LIVEKITNAME
# Live Kit Name. Defaults to 'mylinux';
# For example, Slax changes it to 'slax'
# Must not contain any spaces.
# If you change it, you must run ./tools/isolinux.bin.update script

# in order to update isolinux.bin for CD booting.
LIVEKITNAME="slax" #设定用来存放.sb模块的目录;

# Kernel file, will be copied to your Live Kit
VMLINUZ=/boot/vmlinuz #确定内核文件位置;

# Kernel version. Change it to "3.2.28" for example, if you are building
# Live Kit with a different kernel than the one you are actually running
KERNEL=$(uname -r) #确定内核模块目录;
# List of directories which will be modularized
# No subdirectories are allowed, no slashes,
# so You can't use /var/tmp here for example
# Exclude directories like proc sys tmp
MKMOD="bin etc home lib lib64 opt root sbin srv usr var" #设置模块加载需要的目录

# List of files and directories you'd like to exclude from your Live Kit
EXCLUDE="/etc/fstab /etc/mtab" #设置除外文件

# Temporary directory to store livekit filesystem
LIVEKITDATA=/tmp/$LIVEKITNAME-data-$$  #设置临时目录名

# Bundle extension, for example 'sb' for .sb extension
BEXT=sb #设置模块后缀;

# Directory with kernel .ko modules, can be different in some distros
LMK="lib/modules/$KERNEL" #设置内核模块目录

(2) livekitlib文件,提供启动需要的各种功能,重点在于各种判断和获取,实现自动化和普遍适用能力

(3) init 脚本:启动过程的主程序,清晰展现了整个系统初始化流程
#!/bin/sh
# Initial script for Linux Live Kit

. /lib/livekitlib #导入启动需要的各种函数

UNION=$MEMORY/union
DATAMNT=$MEMORY/data
BUNDLES=$MEMORY/bundles

6. Slax 启动过程简单实现

针对个人使用,编写简易启动脚本,略去防卫代码和自动化探查代码,最小限度使用变量,以最原始的方式重现Slax启动流程。
#!/bin/sh
#设置PATH变量
export PATH=.:/:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
#第一次根切换
if [ ! -r /lib/initramfs_escaped ];then
mkdir /m
mount -t tmpfs -o size="100%" tmpfs /m
cp -av /??* /m
cd /m
touch /m/lib/initramfs_escaped
exec switch_root -c /dev/console . /sbin/init
fi
#挂载虚拟目录
mkdir -p /proc /sys /etc /memory
mount -n -t proc proc /proc
echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
mount -n -t sysfs sysfs /sys
mount -n -o remount,rw rootfs /
ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
#设备初始化,插入必要模块
echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
mdev -s
modprobe zram
modprobe loop
modprobe squashfs
modprobe fuse
#插入aufs模块,目前版本aufs已直接编译入内核,注释掉本段
#modprobe aufs
#创建swap分区
echo $((51210241024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/zram0
swapon /dev/zram0 -p 32767
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
#挂载硬盘至/memory/data 目录
mkdir -p /memory/data
mount /dev/sda1 /memory/data -t ext2 -o rw
#在硬盘分区上建立changes目录,挂载至内存中changes目录
mkdir -p /memory/data/slax/changes
mkdir -p /memory/changes
mount --bind /memory/data/slax/changes /memory/changes
#建立/memory/toram目录,将data目录下所有文件复制进toram目录,卸载data目录
mkdir -p /memory/toram
cp -a /memory/data/* /memory/toram
umount /memory/data
#挂载/memory/changes目录,创建目标根文件系统可写层
mkdir -p /memory/union
mount -t aufs -o xino="/.xino",br=/memory/changes aufs /memory/union
#挂载内存中slax目录下所有.sb文件
mkdir -p "/memory/bundles"
for BUNDLE in /memory/toram/slax/.sb;do
BUN="$(basename "$BUNDLE")"
mkdir -p /memory/bundles/"$BUN"
mount -t loop -t squashfs "$BUNDLE" /memory/bundles/"$BUN"
done

mkdir -p /memory/bundles/"$BUN"
mount -t loop -t squashfs "$BUNDLE" /memory/bundles/"$BUN"
done
#以aufs合并所有/bundles/sb目录
for BUN in /memory/bundles/
.sb;do
mount -o remount,add:1:"$BUN" aufs /memory/union
done
#创建fstab文件
cat >/memory/union/etc/fstab << EOF
aufs / aufs defaults 0 0
proc /proc /proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

EOF
#切换根目录

#创建live目录,并将现有根目录转移至live目录
mkdir -p mnt/live
mount -n -o remount,ro aufs .
pivot_root . mnt/live
#进入真正的根目录,启动init进程
exec /bin/chroot . /sbin/init < dev/console > dev/console

7. 手动安装#

使用grub2引导程序,手动安装至硬盘

#用简易启动代码替换init等脚本,重新生成initrfs.img,在initrfs目录下:find . |cpio -o -H newc |gzip -9 >../initrfs.img
#挂载硬盘,将目标分区格式化为ext系列,建立slax、slax/{boot,modules,changes}目录,移动vmlinuz内核文件、initrfs.img镜像文件至slax/boot,移动.sb模块文件至slax目录
#安装grub2
grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt --boot-directory=/mnt/slax/boot /dev/sdb
#手动提供配置文件slax/boot/grub/grub.cfg
cat >slax/boot/grub/grub.cfg<<EOF
set default=1
set timeout=0
menuentry "slax 7.0" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root="(hd0,msdos1)"
linux /slax/boot/vmlinuz ro slax.flags=xmode quite
initrd /slax/boot/initrfs.img
}
EOF

重启,顺利进入系统,至此slax调教完毕。aufs的分层叠加特性,实现了读写分离,有效提升了系统安全。同时,系统模块化构建的思路,使管理和扩展更加简易、速度。目前aufs技术已经在docker容器领域得到极大的应用。
