基于 Supermicro X7SPA-H (Atom D510) 的路由器(2)
续前。
除了硬件上直接采用的降噪措施之外，一些软件方面的配置也可以提高其效果。
首先是BIOS中的配置。风扇转速最低可调整为"Energy Saving"（即使用30%的频率）。启用Active Power State之后，可节省大约2W左右的耗电（这个选项的默认值是Disabled）。
然后是FreeBSD本身的配置。我个人采用的配置包括：
- 禁用硬盘的APM。WD的这款硬盘默认的APM值为128，这样它每隔大约10秒没有操作时就会将磁盘转速降低。这类操作对磁盘的寿命有一定影响（一般来说磁盘的机械部分支持10万到20万次这样的操作），因此可将其设为254；
- 启用磁盘的AAM。这个配置的好处是让磁盘控制其磁头臂的加速度，其效果是减少噪音，并且有一定的节能效果。注意：实际测试显示这个设置产生的节能效果基本上可以忽略不计，并且会稍微降低一些性能。磁盘的AAM数值设置为128（默认为254）；
- 将经常写的日志放到 /tmp （使用tmpfs）；
- 将收集entropy（随机数种子）的频率由每11分钟一次降低到每天一次；
- 启用 AHCI 磁盘驱动；将ahci通道的pm_level全部设置为5（设备在闲置125ms之后可申请通道链路进入SLUMBER模式）
- 禁用APIC时钟。
- 禁用AT RTC时钟。
- 对于没有驱动的PCI设备，将其置入D3模式（停电）。
上述设置，除了ahci部分之外，可将系统闲置时的功耗降低到17W左右。
以下是实现中采用的loader.conf相关的部分：

在引导系统时，root crontab使用下面的配置：
将APM设为254。注意，每个硬盘都需要：
@reboot /sbin/camcontrol cmd ada0 -a "EF 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FE 00"
将APM设为254。注意，每个硬盘都需要：
@reboot /sbin/camcontrol cmd ada0 -a "EF 42 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00"
禁止硬盘自行idle；并不真的需要这个设置，它是预防性的：
@reboot /sbin/camcontrol idle ada0 -t 0
在 /etc/rc.conf 中启用一部分节能基础设施：
powerd_flags="-a hadp -b hadp -n hadp -i 25 -p 1500"
说明：hadp是默认的配置，实际并不需要；-p 1500表示将采样时间从250ms提高到1500ms，这可以减少powerd本身由于采样操作带来的CPU开销（我对powerd进行了少量改动以使其使用正确的CPU占用比例，系统自带的powerd目前采用的是CPU的占用比例总和，其采样值会比应该使用的值高CPU个数倍），-i 25表示将默认的idle阈值由50%降低为25%，这可以在一定程度上弥补由于减少采样速率导致对突发CPU需求响应变慢的不足。
X7SPA-H主板包含两个watchdog，一个是ICH9R芯片组内建的，另一个是 Winbond W83627DGH-P Super I/O 控制器内建的。在 BIOS 中打开 Watchdog 时启用的是后一个 watchdog。如果在 BIOS 交权后5分钟操作系统仍然没有去安抚watchdog，则硬件会直接对系统进行复位。
FreeBSD目前并没有包含 Winbond W83627 系列watchdog的驱动，我自己写了一个来支持它。在调试过程中发现，似乎没有有效的办法来判断其是否存在，故退而求其次改为检测芯片的revision来判断其存在。注意：这样做是有一定的风险的（读端口仍然可能触发不同硬件的动作）。
写好驱动并加入内核以后，在 /etc/rc.conf 中加入：
watchdogd_enable="YES"
watchdogd_flags="-s 4 -t 32"
这里还是同样的路子：尽可能减少不必要的上下文切换。每4秒安抚一次狗，同时将其触发点设为32秒。这样，当内核停止响应28-32秒的时候硬件便会自动复位。
这些设置可以提高系统在出现问题时自动恢复的机会。
由于Atom的计算能力较差，因此，可以使用计算能力较好的笔记本CPU来代替它来编译，具体方法是将系统的 / 等文件系统通过 NFS 来 export 给局域网的其他机器，在上位机上mount之后chroot进去编译，或者使用 ports 的 DESTDIR 支持，或编译好包之后上去 pkg_add。具体的做法可根据需要决定。
以下是我使用的内核编译配置，仅供参考。

主要的改动包括：
- 删掉了FFS相关的配置，因为系统是纯ZFS的。注意：这个配置会导致不能使用UFS。
- 删掉了MSDOSFS，CD9660等用不到的文件系统支持。需要时可通过模块加载。
- 删掉了针对 FreeBSD 4-6 以及 4.3BSD TTY 的兼容支持
- 删掉了安全审计、MAC支持
- 完全删掉了 ata 支持。（采用ahci而不用ata(4)驱动）
- 没有用到的SCSI、PCMCIA、RAID、网卡、1394等一律砍掉
- USB部分只保留这款主板支持的ehci和uhci两种，砍掉ohci；内核只保留用于键盘的ukbd和用于外接硬盘的umass；
- 增加了coretemp（检测CPU温度，Atom D510的Tj(max)是100摄氏度、cpuctl（调试用）、pf（包过滤/NAT等）、smb相关（主板监控）、winbondwd（我写的watchdog驱动）、IPSec、ALTQ支持；
- 增加了内核调试器（注意，因为这台机器是在家使用，因此没使用SC_DISABLE_KDBKEY）以方便使用textdump。
- 内核上下文切换频率降为100Hz。这可以省掉大约4/5的中断。
实测静置（只跑网络部分，或完全闲置，网络流量在不吃CPU的时候对耗电影响不太明显）时耗电为17W。理论上AHCI相关的设置可以进一步减少耗电，但我还没有测过具体的影响。
当执行计算任务并且有大量硬盘操作时的耗电峰值是23W。
