Ubuntu Server: Kernel Configuration Considerations - ServerWatch.com - 0 views

  • Preemption The server kernel has kernel preemption turned off (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y), while the desktop kernel has it enabled (CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y). Preemption works along with scheduling to fine-tune performance, efficiency and responsiveness. In non-preemptive kernels, kernel code runs until completion; the scheduler can't touch it until it's finished. But the Linux kernel allows tasks to be interrupted at nearly any point (but not when it is unsafe, which is a whole huge fascinating topic all by itself), so that tasks of lesser-priority can jump to the head of the line. This is appropriate for desktop systems because users typically have several things going at once: writing documents, playing music, Web surfing, downloading and so on. Users don't care how responsive background applications are; they care only about the ones they're actively using. So if loading a Web page takes a little longer while the user is writing an e-mail, it's an acceptable trade-off. Overall efficiency and performance are actually reduced but not in a way that annoys the user. On servers you want to minimize any and all performance hits, so turning off preemption is usually the best practice.

Vim Plugins You Should Know About, Part VII: ragtag.vim (formerly allml.vim) - good cod... - 0 views

  •  
    This is the seventh post in the article series "Vim Plugins You Should Know About". This time I am going to introduce you to a plugin called "ragtag.vim". A month ago it was still known as "allml.vim" but now it has been renamed to ragtag.vim. The best parts of RagTag are mappings for editing HTML tags. It has a mapping for quickly closing open HTML tags, a mapping for quickly turning the typed word into a pair of open/close HTML tags, several mappings for inserting HTML doctype, linking to CSS stylesheets, loading JavaScript and it includes mappings for wrapping the typed text in a pair of tags for PHP, or for ASP or eRuby, and {% .. %} for Django. RagTag is written by Tim Pope. He's the master of Vim plugin programming. I have already written about two of his plugins - surround.vim and repeat.vim and more articles about his plugins are coming!

Computerworld - The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again Shell - 0 views

  • Interviews The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again ShellWhen the Bourne Shell found its identity
  • in this article we chat to Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash.
  • In BASH's case, the problem to be solved was a free software version of the Posix standard shell to be part of the GNU system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the original Bourne Shell was very influential, the various System V shell releases preserved that heritage, and the Posix committee used those versions as the basis for the standard they developed. Certainly the basic language syntax and built-in commands are direct descendants of the Bourne Shell's. Bash's additional features and functionality build on what the Bourne shell provided. As for source code and internal implementation, there's no relationship at all
  • Bash will continue to evolve as both an interactive environment and a programming language. I'd like to add more features that allow interested users to extend the shell in novel ways. The programmable completion system is an example of that kind of extension.
  • Do you have any advice for up-and-coming programmers? Find an area that interests you and get involved with an existing community. There are free software projects in just about any area of programming. The nuts-and-bolts -- which language you use, what programming environment you use, where you do your work -- are not as important as the passion and interest you bring to the work itself.

Red Hat's "obfuscated" kernel source [LWN.net] - 3 views

  •  
    Several readers have pointed out this interview with Maximilian Attems, posted by Raphaël Hertzog. Therein, Maximilian states that, while the cross-distribution cooperation on the 2.6.32 kernel has been a great thing, Red Hat is making things harder by shipping its RHEL 6 kernel source as one big tarball, without breaking out the patches. Your editor has downloaded the 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6 source package and verified that this is the case.
