PostPosted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 2:55 pm    Post subject: Speed up boot time. Reply with quote

Hi,

I'm currently trying to speed up my OS boot time. I successfully decreased this time from ~15s to ~8s. I think I can still decrease it to 5s, or even 3s.

Considering dmesg, the next step is to speed up network startup:

Code:
Jelly ~ # dmesg|tail
[    5.671331] XFS (dm-0): Mounting Filesystem
[    5.765824] XFS (dm-0): Ending clean mount
[    5.794860] XFS (dm-1): Mounting Filesystem
[    5.897440] XFS (dm-1): Ending clean mount
[    5.898202] mount (1689) used greatest stack depth: 4552 bytes left

[    6.724311] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: unable to load firmware patch /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ (-22)
[    6.735636] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link down
[    6.735805] ip (1922) used greatest stack depth: 3576 bytes left
[    8.688318] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up


It seams that an error occurred, delaying eth0 link up.

Code:
[    6.723073] 0000:04:00.0: Missing Free firmware
[    6.724311] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: unable to load firmware patch /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ (-22)


This probably due to the fact that r8169 is loaded before the rootfs is mounted.

Code:
Jelly ~ # dmesg|egrep "sda|r8169"
[    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vanilla-3.8.1 rootfstype=xfs root=/dev/sda4

Why is it loaded in the wrong order? How can i fix this? Here is my whole dmesg. Any other idea?

Thanks in advance.

Edit. Just to point out:

Code:
Jelly ~ # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep R8169
CONFIG_R8169=y
Jelly ~ # lspci|grep Ethernet

apinsard,

Drivers that need firmware must have both parts in the same place - either both in the kernel binary or both on the root filesystem.
A half and half mix fails.

The kernel for my diskless box, which also uses r1869 contains
Code:
 (/sbin/hotplug) path to uevent helper                                                             
  │ │[*] Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev     
  │ │[*]   Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs 
  │ │[*] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware 
  │ │[*] Prevent firmware from being built   
  │ │-*- Userspace firmware loading support   
  │ │[ ]   Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary 
  │ │(rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw radeon/PALM_pfp.bin radeon/PALM_me.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin) External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary
  │ │(/lib/firmware/) Firmware blobs root directory
notice the rtl_nic/...
Without that boot is stalled for 60 sec.
I can't really make the network driver a module ... the box is diskless, so the network is needed to mount root.

I can't ell you what firmware you need. The filename is normally in dmesg but in your case, its not.

I don't either have a /lib/firmware directory.

I'm also configuring my kernel from papy's seeds and not yet done. Maybe some settings are not currently well set?

Code:
Jelly ~ # zcat /proc/config.gz |egrep "FIRMWARE|FW"
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
# CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
# CONFIG_USB_ISIGHTFW is not set
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y
# CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set


Code:
 (/sbin/hotplug) path to uevent helper
  │ │[*] Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
  │ │[ ]   Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs
  │ │[*] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware
  │ │[*] Prevent firmware from being built
  │ │-*- Userspace firmware loading support
  │ │[ ]   Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
  │ │()    External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary
  │ │[ ] Driver Core verbose debug messages
  │ │[ ] Managed device resources verbose debug messages


Edit. I read through CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL's help and realized that I shall make firmware_install. I did and rebooted. I now have a /lib/firmware directory but none of these firmware seems related to Realtek. And I still have the error in dmesg.

Based on that dmesg output, it looks like the kernel is one of the "-libre" forks that has little or no support for firmware designated by the -libre maintainers as non-Free. If so, and if the maintainers have designated the firmware for your card as non-Free, then you must either accept the lack of firmware or change to a non-libre kernel.

apinsard,

I would expect the file you need to be in /lib/firmware/rtl_nic

Pappys seeds have all hardware setting off - you have to set your own.
This includes network card drivers and their firmware.

You may need to
Code:
emerge linux-firmware
to populate /lib/firmware

I emerged linux-firmware but it didn't do anything :/

Actually, my ethernet connection works and the driver seems OK.

   Kernel driver in use: r8169


I just have this issue at boot time.

Edit. Maybe I'd be better finish configure properly my kernel before trying to speed up my boot time?

I tried every rtl8168* firmwares in /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/ but none of them worked without r8169.

It seems that r8169 is the only right driver, but why do I have errors though it works? And above all, how can I get rid of them?

apinsard,

r8169 is a kernel driver for a series of Realtek network interfaces.
The firmware helps it along.

You need both the r8169 and its firmware. Many instances of r8169 work without the firmware. Yours and mine included.

What does
Code:
emerge gentoo-sources -pv
show on your system?

Code:
# emerge -pv gentoo-sources

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.1:3.8.1  USE="-build -deblob -symlink" 79 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 79 kB


But I'm using vanilla-sources. So you might be more interested in the following I believe:

Code:
# emerge -pv vanilla-sources

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.8.1:3.8.1  USE="deblob symlink -build" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB


I get a few more information in dmesg by enabling DEBUG_DRIVERS and DEBUG_DEVRES:

apinsard,

Unless you really really want deblob, set USE=-deblob.

That will leave some firmware in the kernel.
Remerge your kernel, so you get the embedded firmware then rebuild your kernel starting with
Code:
make clean

@apinsard,

it seems we have the same NIC and maybe the same mainboard. Mine is an AsRock Z77 Pro4.

If so, it should work.

Alternativly you can install r8168.

Indeed, it solved the issue. But does this mean that I have non-free pieces now? I don't like having non-free software, matter of principle...

Just another question: What means this kind of lines in dmesg?

Code:
[    2.361778] kbd_mode (1162) used greatest stack depth: 5864 bytes left

Can I fix these warnings? Would it take me any benefit?

Yep I just saw that. I think it is also due to CONFIG_FRAME_WARN = 2048

i hope you used JFS for your /boot, ext is painfully slow. give systemd a whirl. id say its about 8 times faster than openrc, and about 4/5ths as functional. so long as your not running apache your good.

Given how little /boot is used by most people, it seems highly unlikely that the choice of filesystem will matter much. Citations on both the speed claim and the Apache reference would be welcome.

ext2 with out journal is faster, for large file writes, but not for fscking. to fsck a journaled JFS tb drive takes around a minute, to fsck a ext(2,3,4) takes around an hour, and the file system starts to freak out once its excessively used. XFS you can not use for a /boot drive, i use XFS as a /, but its being reverted back to JFS because of XFS's poor error handling. needless to say EXT is not an option i refuse to use it. i might go back to ext2 for more testing if they fix the fsck times.

How are you even managing to corrupt /boot to need fsck on it ? And I hope it is not a terabyte partition :)

I don't think it's "needless to say". Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I've had satisfactory experience with EXT for over almost 2 decades, ext2, ext3, and now ext4. In normal use my problems have been sufficiently small to not rise to notice, now. I have had problems with "abnormal use", but I don't believe that counts. Also based on sound advice, I'm using XFS for my MythTV partition, simply because of its different characteristics, and have been happy with that, as well.

Right now ext4 is the "default" filesystem, and to make such an accusation is pretty stern stuff.

is that joke?

I've just read that systemd is even slower ( http://solpeth.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/systemd-vs-openrc-on-gentoo-a-completely-non-technical-users-perspective/ )
So where's the truth? I really doubt if systemd can get any good significant boost boot time.

and whats a crappy test

http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Optimizations

i learned of systemd from personally knowing the HA clustering people @ linbit.com / drbd.org i had taught linux from scratch to one of them approximately 4 years ago. systemd is not industrial grade yet for gentoo, but you can still preview it. arch full on requires systemd. freedesktop does not lie like tinfoil hat wordpressers do.

"xfs boot time"
XFS: 12.40 seconds

xfs cannot be used as /boot, your website is invalid. i say JFS from experience, not numbers.... BTRFS is untested from me yet, the HA clustering people will fill me in on it in a bit though. as for the JFS though, ive punished it absurdly with power outages tons of media hoarding formats so on so forth and its definitely the absolute best linux file system ive found so far. ive also not tested ZFS, tough that seems more of a raid storage type fs rather than a /boot & / fs

similar experience with systemd, 2 seconds instead of 20, but i serve apache periodically so im stuck to openrc for the moment.

Hmm... systemd literally killed my arch laptop install, so I would be extremely wary of it. After installing systemd on gentoo my boot time at least doubled. Openrc takes about 2-3 seconds on my system once the process is handed off to init from my initramfs.

systemd is new and touchy. i can get it to boot very well with a few exceptions, the 1 that is keeping me from going systemd only is apache. i have to use GDM for gnome or else i lose menus.
