LPIC 101 Version 5

Este libro es un conjunto de blogs, libros y posts que he encontrado en Internet

Mi idea y mi deseo es hacer un libro opensource sobre la certificación LPIC 1 de la versión 5, recién salida este Noviembre del 2018.

El problema es que ninguna editorial esta sacando la version 5 y ademas d eso son carisimos. Que mejor que algo comunitario que se actualiza solo y poder imprimirlo por unos 15€.

Linux al fin y al cabo tambiem empezo asi 😉

Espero la colaboracion de cualquiera que pueda ampliarlo, mejorarlo y/o actualizarlo.

6. Objetivos: Examen 101

Tema 101: Arquitectura del Sistema

101.1 Determinar y configurar los ajustes de hardware

Importancia 2

Áreas de conocimiento clave:

Activar y desactivar los periféricos integrados.
Diferenciar entre los distintos tipos de dispositivos de almacenamiento masivo.
Determinar los recursos de hardware para los dispositivos.
Herramientas y utilidades para listar la información de hardware (por ejemplo, lsusb, lspci, etc.).
Herramientas y utilidades para manipular dispositivos USB.
Comprensión conceptual de sysfs, udev y dbus.

La siguiente es una lista parcial de los archivos, términos y utilidades utilizados:

/sys/
/proc/
/dev/
modprobe
lsmod
lspci
lsusb

Un sistema operativo es el software que hace de enlace entre las aplicaciones de usuario y el hardware. La finalidad de un sistema operativo es ofrecer un conjunto de programas que permetin hacer más fácil y eficiente el uso de un ordenador. Actualmente un ordenador es una máquina compleja que consta de uno o más procesadores, memoria de diferentes tipologías, relojes, periféricos, etc y además son sistemas donde puede trabajar más de uno usuario. Es evidente que se hace necesario que haya alguna solución que permita hacer uso de un ordenador sin necesidad de dominar la complejidad del hardware.

Arquitectura de un sistema operativo

Partes de un sistema operativo:

-Núcleo: es la interfaz de comunicación entre el hardware y el software. – Aplicaciones base: aplicaciones básicas para el correcto funcionamiento del sistema. La mayoria de aplicaciones son GNU

Dos espacios de trabajo:

– Modo supervisor o modo kernel: No tiene restricciones de acceso a la memoria y puede acceder a cualquier dirección, de cualquier proceso, o de cualquier dispositivo. Reservado para el uso del núcleo, de su módulos o de algunos de sus controladores. Programar en este espacio es muy complicado. Se ha de tener mucho cuidado de no interferir entre los diferentes espacios de memoria de procesos. Se ha de diseñar el programa con la idea de no fallar nunca, puesto que un error en el programa implica un error en todo el sistema.

– Modo de usuario o espacio de usuario: En contraste, el espacio de usuario es la zona donde se ejecutan las aplicaciones de usuario. En la mayoría de sistemas operativos actuales cada proceso tiene su propio espacio de memoria y no puede acceder al espacio de memoria de otros procesos y de esta manera se evita la interferencia entre procesos. La única forma en que un proceso del espacio de usuario puede acceder a la memoria de otros procesos es a través de las llamadas de sistema (interfaces) del sistema operativo, de forma que el sistema operativo puede gestionar el control de acceso a los recursos.

Módulos – Gestión del Hardware

Los controladores o drivers se encargan del acceso controlado al hardware. La mayoría de controladores son módulos del kernel. Estos pueden estar integrados en el mismo núcleo o cargarse en caliente. Se almacenan en /lib/modules y los que están disponibles para nuestro kernel están en \$ /lib/modules/`uname -r`. Las herramientas necesarias para la gestión de los módulos se encuentran en el paquete module-init-tools que por regla general se encuentra incluido en la mayoría de distribuciones. Las principales herramientas son: – lsmod: Muestra la información de /proc/modules. La columna used indica cuantos módulos dependen de ese módulo.

insmod: inserta un módulo en el kernel. Si el módulo depende de otros, las dependencias deben estár cargadas antes de ejecutar insmod.
modprobe: inserta un módulo en el kernel y carga automáticamente los módulos que dependen de éste. En la carpeta /etc/modprobe.d/ se puede configurar las opciones a la hora de cargar un módulo, o definir una lista negra para especificar que no se cargue un módulo concreto
modinfo: muestra la información detallada de un módulo. Interesante para ver en que ruta se encuentra el fichero, o para averiguar para que sirve.
rmmod: eliminar un módulo del kernel. Se puede incluir en el fichero /etc/modules que módulos queremos cargar manualmente durante el inicio del sistema. El script que se encarga de esta tarea es /etc/init.d/module-init-tools
depmod: Establece las dependencias entre módulos. Se ejecuta unicamente durante el inicio de sistema. Solo lo ejecutaremos manualmente si modificamos la configuración de los módulos, como modificar el fichero modules.conf o de las carpetas modules.d. Genera el fichero /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/modules.dep

Dispositivos PCI

Antes de la aparición del sistema PnP (mediados de los 90), era tedioso configurar el hardware y a menudo se debía recurrir a los jumpers o a la BIOS. Actualmente la configuración se puede hacer por software y a menudo no hace falta configurar nada ya que gracias a PnP, los dispositivos se configuran solos. Se puede modificar los comportamiento del núcleo con respecto a la detección de hardware cambiando los siguientes parámetros u opciones del núcleo: PCI Devices –> Bus Options –> PCI Access Mode Tenemos 4 opciones: – BIOS – MMConfig – Direct – Any-> Que quiere decir primero MMconfig, después Direct y finalmente BIOS. Es la opción habitual. lspci: muestra información sobre los dispositivos PCI y otros dispositivos del sistema.

si escribimos:

Vemos que cada dispositivo tiene un id único. El formato es: [código] -> [dispositivo:fabricante]. Esta información la extrae del fichero /usr/share/misc/pci.ids y se puede actualizar con el comando update-pciids

Dispositivos USB

En Linux hay diferentes drivers o controladores USB con nombres como UHCI, OHCI, EHCI o R8A66597. La mayoría de sistemas operativos Linux modernos vienen con los drivers USB ya cargados y la gestión de dispositivos USB es automática. Algunos controladores son solo para la versión 1.1 de USB, pero la mayoría también soportan 2.0. Hay que tener en cuenta que una cosa es el bus de comunicación USB y otro el dispositivo que hay conecta, de tal manera que pueden ser necesarios otros drivers o aplicaciones para los usos concretos de cada dispositivo (impresoras, escanners, cámaras digitales…). Si con dispositivo PCI tenemos el comando lspci con USB disponemos del comando lsusb que nos muestra los dispositivos USB que tenemos conectados:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 03f0:0324 Hewlett-Packard

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[……..]

Antes se gestionaban con las utilidades usbmgr, hotplug, udev…. Desde los kernels 2.6 no es necesario, puesto que integra hotplug y utiliza udev

Sistemas de ficheros especiales

/sys

Sysfs es un sistema de ficheros virtual (solamente existe en RAM) proporcionado por el núcleo del sistema desde la versión 2.6 (año 2003). Sysfs exporta información sobre los dispositivos y sus controladores (drivers) desde el espacio de sistema del núcleo al espacio de usuario. Sysfs apareció durante el desarrollo del núcleo 2.5 (las ramas impares siempre son las de pruebas) con la intención de solucionar los siguientes problemas:

Falta de un método unificado para representar las relacionas entre los controladores y los dispositivos de hardware.
Faltaba un mecanismo de soporte hotplug estandar
procfs estaba pleno de información que no estaba relacionada con los procesos.

Muchas aplicaciones dependen de sysfs para funcionar (p. ej. udev o HAL). Utilizan este sistema de ficheros virtual para acceder a información del hardware y de los controladores del hardware (normalmente módulos del núcleo). En la estructura de la carpeta /sys los directorios organizan los dispositivos, las clases, los buses, los controladores etc. y también establecen las relaciones entre ellos. Los ficheros contienden atributos (cada fichero un atributo).

Carpetas principales:

/sys/devices: Contiene la información de los dispositivos. La mayoría de ficheros del resto de directorios son enlaces simbólicos que apuntan aquí.

/sys/bus: Información de los buses de comunicaciones (USB, PCI….) Los drivers están en /sys/bus/pci/drivers

/sys/block: Dispositivos de bloque. Son enlaces simbólicos a ficheros de la carpeta /sys/devices

/sys/class: muestra los dispositivos agrupados por clases (red, sonido, impresoras….)

/proc procfs es un sistema de ficheros virtual, generado dinánicamente durante el arranque de sistema y almacenado en RAM. Contiene la información de los procesos proporcionada por el núcleo de Linux. Actualmente, además de procesos, contiene información sobre el hardware. Muchas aplicaciones de espacio de usuario se basan en /proc para acceder a la información del núcleo del sistema. Ejemplos: /proc/interrupts /proc/dma /proc/ioports En procfs, cada proceso tiene una carpeta propia, llamados por su PID. En ella contiene información detallada sobre cada uno de ellos. La herramienta sysctl permite modificar los parámetros del kernel sin necesidad de recompilar. Los parámetros se encuentran en forma de ficheros, en /proc/sys. Se puede consultar un listado de todos los parámetros con \$sysctl -a

/dev

Device file system permite al software interactuar con los dispositivos hardware utilizando las mismas llamadas de sistema que se utilizarían para trabajar con ficheros. Hacen de interfaz con los controladores de los dispositivos. Los ficheros pueden ser:

Periféricos, como impresoras
Dispositivos de almacenamiento
Particiones
Dispositivos especiales (generadores de números aleatorios, ceros….)
Existen tres tipos especiales de dispositivo:
Dispositivos de caracteres: les llega el flujo de datos de caracter en caracter. (ttys)
Dispositivos de bloque: les llega el flujo de datos en bloques. Soportan acceso aleatorio a los datos. (hds)
Pseudo-dispositivos: no corresponden a ningún hardware específico.
/dev/null: Acepta todo tipo de datos de entrada y los descarta. No produce ninguna salida
/dev/full: Dispositivo que siempre está lleno
/dev/loop: Dispositivo de bucle
/dev/zero: Produce un flujo de datos continuo de caracteres NULL (cero
/dev/random: Produce un flujo de datos de números aleatorios. Bloquea
/dev/urandom: Produce un flujo de datos de números aleatorios. No bloquea. Convención de nombres:
fb: frame buffer
fd: disquete
hd: disco duro
lp: impresora
ttyUSB: conversor serie-usb
ttyS: controlador del puerto serire
parport,pp: puerto paralelo
pt: pseudo terminales
sd: controlador de dispositivo de almacenamiento masivo. sda: primer dispositivo registrado. sda1: primera partición del primer dispositivo registrado
sg: controlador SCSI genérico
sr: controlador ROM (dispositivos ópticos)
st: controlador de cintas magnéticas
tty: consolas virtuales
