谈谈Open Source

2004-05-03 06:29 | Diary Excerpt

整理自：2004年2月10日日记

我其实并不是一个喜欢钻牛角间的人，不过最近在论坛上的讨论实在很让人不爽。从某种意义上说，我对于开源运动并没有明确的支持或反对的态度，当然，我比较欣赏 Apple 的做法：适度开源；同样的，这种态度也适用于微软的「分享源代码」的公开源代码的计划，尽管我并不认为微软在热衷于参与开源运动，或者说，它根本就在反对这项运动，但它的支持或反对，并不影响开源运动的人们。不要去责备微软「霸道」，那是没有道理的，任何商人都得赚钱，没有人可以拦得住爱好者，我们不能，微软同样不能，我们看到的应该是微软在计算机科学领域的大量投资，它的研究院对于研究员公开发表学术成果的开明态度，以及那些假意利用开源来抬高自己身价的竞争对手的丑恶嘴脸。你可以不喜欢微软的做法，你可以躲得远远的，不用Windows，因为这是你的自由，没人强迫你欣赏微软的做法，没人强迫你用微软的产品，如果你觉得离不开，那么，自己写一个；如果你写不出来，闭嘴，因为你只是一个弱者，世界不同情弱者。

FreeBSD LOR page

2004-05-01 21:20 | Kernel

What’are LORs? To quote Robert Watson:

“These warnings are generated by Witness, a run-time lock diagnostic system found in FreeBSD 5-CURRENT kernels (but removed in releases). You can read more about Witness in the WITNESS(4) man page, which talks about its capabilities. Among other things, Witness performs run-time lock order verification using a combination of hard coded lock orders, and run-time detected lock orders, and generates console warnings when lock orders are violated. The intent of this is to detect the potential for deadlocks due to lock order violations; it’s worth observing that Witness is actually slightly conservative, and so it’s possible to get false positives. In the event that Witness is accurately reporting a lock order problem, it’s basically saying “If you were unlucky, a deadlock would have happened here”. There are a couple of “well known” false positives, which we need to do a better job of documenting to prevent spurious reports. The non-well-known ones typically correspond to bugs in newly added locking, as lock order reversals usually get fixed pretty quickly because Witness is busy generating warnings :-).”
