Call Forwarding for iPhone: How to Set up or Disable Call Forwarding in iOS

By David Yang,
Call forwarding is useful if you are expected to be unavailable for receiving calls or lose cell phone coverage for some time. Call forwarding is not something that is "new" to modern phones. It is a feature which is invented in 1960s (the patent expired in 1980) of some telephone switching systems. But with iPhone/iOS, there is a convenient call forwarding feature in iOS for you to set up call forwarding to forward calls to a landline or other phone by its number or disable the call forwarding. » Read more

Reference: Special HTML Characters

By David Yang,
HTML supports many characters/symbols such as mathematical symbols, and currency symbols. They are not present on a normal keyboard.

How to Install Paravirtualized CentOS 7 DomU on Xen

By Eric Z Ma,
This post introduces how to install a paravirtualized CentOS 7 DomU on Xen. The very common way of installing DomU does not work for CentOS 7. A little trick to set the repository and the network used by the VM should be used by adding a setting strings to the “extra=” field for this VM. To install the DomU VM, first download the pxeboot images from CentOS’s official website at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/. » Read more

How to Compile and Install Linux Kernel from the Source Code in an Existing Linux OS

By Eric Z Ma,
Building Linux kernel may sound a complex and geek-only thing. However, as Linux kernel itself has much less depended tools/packages compared to other software packages, it is quite easy to compile, build and install a Linux kernel from the source code in an existing Linux OS. Building Linux kernel is needed if you need to build a specific Linux kernel or update your drivers for a kernel by yourself. » Read more

Mapping software is among the robust data visualization tools that you can avail today. With maps, you can find stories, trends, and insights that cannot be found in spreadsheets. » Read more

How does linux kernel collect task stats data

By Weiwei Jia,
Motivation ∞ Recently, I find it is hard to know the percentage of time that one process uses to wait for synchronous I/O (eg, read, etc). One way is to use the taskstats API provided by Linux Kernel [1]. However, for this way, the precision may be one problem. With this problem, I dig into Linux Kernel source codes to see how “blkio_delay_total” (Delay time waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete) is calculated. » Read more

Are You Wanting to Learn a Programming Language? Read Before Your Make a Choice

By Joseph Macwan,
Programming LanguagesMaking a career choice is difficult. And, if you have decided on becoming a programmer, the difficulty is just beginning. The most important thing is to first decide the language that you want to learn and this is often the most difficult decision. The good part is that you know you need to focus on learning programming and the bad part is that you might still be thinking which programming language should you begin to learn. » Read more

Vim Tutorial for Beginners: vimtutor

x-data-plane feature in QEMU/KVM

By Weiwei Jia,
Abstract In systems, sometimes, we use one global lock to keep synchronization among different threads. This principle also happens in QEMU/KVM (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) system. However, this may cause lock contention problem. The performance/scalability of whole system will be decreased. In order to solve this problem in QEMU/KVM, x-data-plane feature is designed/implemented, which the high-level idea is “I/O requests are handled by dedicated IOThread rather than QEMU main loop threads so that it will not have lock contention among I/O threads and other QEMU main loop threads”. » Read more

The length of timeslices for processes under CFS process scheduling algorithm in Linux Kernel

By Weiwei Jia,
Abstract As is known, CFS (Completely Fair Scheduling) is a famous process scheduling algorithm in Linux Kernel but there is no convenient way for developers to get the timeslices of processes if CFS is chosen. In this article, I will introduce one way to hack the timeslices of process easily for CFS in Linux Kernel. Note that, the way introduced following is under Linux Kernel 3.16.39. » Read more

How sched_min_granularity_ns, sched_latency_ns and sched_wakeup_granularity_ns in CFS affect the timeslice of processes

By Weiwei Jia,
Abstract Currently, the most famous process scheduling algorithm in Linux Kernel is Completely Fair Scheduling (CFS) algorithm. The core idea of CFS is to let each process share the same proportional CPU resources to run so that it is fair to each process. In this article, I will introduce how sched_min_granularity_ns and sched_latency_ns work internal CFS to affect the timeslice of processes. » Read more

How migration thread works inside of Linux Kernel

By Weiwei Jia,
Abstract In computer systems, resources have to be balanced so that the performance will be better based on the same hardware. In Linux Kernel system, we will see some migration kernel threads running as daemons to do this kind of jobs as follows. In this article, we will discuss how Linux Kernel balances its hardware/software resources (NOTE: this article is based on Linux Kernel 4.7 and other versions may have some differences). » Read more

How sched_setaffinity works inside of Linux Kernel

By Weiwei Jia,
Abstract Sometimes, we may want to migrate one process/thread to one specific CPU for some specific purpose. In the Unix/Linux systems, you may choose sched_setaffinity to finish this job. This article will help you to understand how sched_setaffinity (or other APIs like pthread_setaffinity_np in user-space) works internal Linux kernel. Details -- sched_setaffinity(pid_t pid, const struct cpumask *in_mask) --- __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const struct cpumask *new_mask, bool check) ---- stop_one_cpu(unsigned int cpu, cpu_stop_fn_t fn, void *arg) ----- migration_cpu_stop(void *data) ------ __migrate_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu) ------- move_queued_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int new_cpu) -------- enqueue_task(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) --------- returns the new run queue of destination CPU Above character steps give a workflow of how sched_setaffinity works (how it migrates one process/thread from the run queue of source CPU to the run queue of destination CPU). » Read more
