Description

Debugging information recording method applied to boot stage and post-boot operation stage
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for recording information in a basic input/output system, and more particularly, to a method for recording information related to debugging in a basic input/output system.
Background
Currently, in the server field, there are two versions for the same Basic Input Output System (BIOS), and the first version of the BIOS (Release Mode BIOS) does not generate corresponding debug information when executing or entering an error handling program in the boot stage, so as to save boot time and provide for a general user; the second version of BIOS (Debug Mode BIOS) continuously generates corresponding Debug information when executing or entering an Error Handling program (Error Handling) during the boot-up phase, which may cause too long boot-up time, but some of the Debug information may provide great help for technical developers to develop Debug.
However, the error information recorded in the Event Log file of the BIOS is still not detailed enough for technical developers. Therefore, technical researchers must re-write the bios using the first version into the bios of the second version to obtain the corresponding debugging information, but this method still cannot reproduce the risk of errors occurring when the system uses the bios of the first version, so that in implementation, when an error occurs in the client system, the technical researchers also need to go to the client for field maintenance.
Therefore, how to provide a bios debug information recording method that can record or display necessary debug information effective for technical developers when a system error occurs without rewriting the bios into a second version, and reduce the boot time and the labor waste of the technical developers to perform field maintenance on the client is the primary issue to be solved by the present invention.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to a method for recording debug information during a boot stage and a post-boot operation stage, which is capable of outputting necessary debug information effective for technical developers only when a system error occurs without rewriting a basic input/output system that is a second version, and reducing boot time and labor waste when the technical developers perform field maintenance on a client.
In order to solve the above technical problems, a method for recording debug information applied to a boot stage and a post-boot operation stage is implemented by a computer device, wherein the computer device stores a plurality of error codes and a plurality of debug information, and each debug information corresponds to one of the error codes.
The method for recording the debugging information applied to the startup stage and the post-startup operation stage comprises a step (A), a step (B), a step (C), a step (D) and a step (E).
And (A) judging whether the computer device has unrecoverable errors in the previous execution according to the error parameters by the computer device.
And (B) when the computer device is judged not to have an unrecoverable error in the previous execution, interrupting a currently executed program and executing an error processing program by the computer device when an interrupt signal indicating that the computer device has an error is received.
And (C) obtaining a first target error code through the error processing program by the computer device, wherein the first target error code is one of the error codes.
And (D) when the first target error code has the corresponding debugging information, recording the debugging information corresponding to the first target error code by the computer device through the error processing program.
Step (E) is that when the first target error code does not have the corresponding debugging information, the computer device does not record any debugging information through the error processing program.
Compared with the prior art, the debugging information recording method applied to the startup stage and the post-startup operation stage of the invention records or displays the debugging information corresponding to the obtained first target error code only when the Interrupt signal (Interrupt) is received and the error processing program is executed by means of the debugging information stored in the computer device, so that the screened necessary debugging information can be output only when the computer device has an error without being re-recorded as a basic input output system of a second version, and meanwhile, the startup time of the computer device is shortened, and the labor waste of technical research personnel for client field maintenance is reduced.

[ detailed description ] embodiments
Referring to fig. 1, a computer device 100 for executing the method for recording debugging information applied to the booting stage and the post-booting operation stage according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage module 1, a display module 2, and a processing module 3 electrically connected to the storage module 1 and the display module 2.
The storage module 1 includes a first storage unit 11 and a second storage unit 12.
The first storage unit 11 stores a bios, error codes, debug information, and a duplicate error code log associated with the bios. Wherein each debug message corresponds to one of the error codes. The error code repeat table contains a number of occurrences corresponding to all error codes that have occurred in the computing device 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the error codes and the debug information are included in the code of the BIOS. In addition, the present invention is implemented by a technical developer manually screening all the debugging information of the second version of basic input output system (Debug Mode BIOS) described in the prior art, and screening the debugging information that is effective and necessary for detecting and repairing the computer device 100 as the debugging information stored in the first storage unit 11. For example, a technician may leave the debug information that is valid and necessary for testing and repairing the computing device 100 in the BIOS code and delete the unnecessary debug information directly; or, a flag value is added to each error code, wherein the flag value of the error code corresponding to the necessary debugging information is different from the flag value of the error code corresponding to the unnecessary debugging information, so that the computer device 100 can determine whether to record or display the corresponding debugging information according to the flag value corresponding to the detected error code, but not limited to the above two manners. In addition, the Error codes stored in the first storage unit 11 indicate that the errors of the computer device 100 belong to detectable errors (Detected errors), and undetectable errors (Undetected errors) are not discussed in the present invention. The detectable errors are subdivided into recoverable errors (Correctable errors) and unrecoverable errors (unorderable errors).
The second storage unit 12 stores an Error parameter associated with the bios for indicating whether an unrecoverable Error (uncorrupt) occurs during a previous execution of the computing device 100.
In this embodiment, the computer device 100 is a computer or a server with an arithmetic function, but not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the first storage unit 11 is a Read-Only Memory (ROM), but not limited thereto.
In the embodiment, the second storage unit 12 is a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), but not limited thereto.
The following will describe the operation details of the storage module 1, the display module 2 and the processing module 3 in the computer device 100 by using the embodiment of the present invention applied to the method for recording debugging information in the booting stage and the post-booting operation stage.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the boot-up stage recording program is used for recording or displaying debugging information when the computer device 100 is in the boot-up stage and the operating system is not executed, and includes a step 50, a step 51, a step 52, a step 53, a step 54, a step 55, a step 56, a step 57, a step 58, a step 59, a step 60, a step 61, a step 62, a step 63, a step 64, a step 65, a step 66, a step 67, a step 68, a step 69, a step 70, a step 71, and a step 72.
In step 50, the processing module 3 executes a boot program according to the bios in the storage module 1.
In step 51, the processing module 3 determines whether an unrecoverable error occurs in the previous execution of the run-time recording program of the computing device 100 according to the error parameter. When the processing module 3 determines that no unrecoverable error occurs when the computer device 100 executes the operation stage recording program in the previous time, the process proceeds to step 52; when the processing module 3 determines that an unrecoverable error occurs when the computer device 100 executes the operation stage recording program in the previous time, the process proceeds to step 64.
It should be noted that, the step 64 is executed to indicate that the error parameter indicates that an unrecoverable error occurs when the computer device 100 executes the run-phase recording program in the previous time, which causes the computer device 100 to restart, and it is not too late to record or display the corresponding debugging information for the technical research and development personnel to refer to, so that the computer device 100 records or displays the debugging information corresponding to the unrecoverable error for the technical research and development personnel to refer to when the computer device 100 executes the boot-phase recording program after restarting (step 51 and steps 64 to 72). In particular, the processing module 3 outputs the debug information corresponding to the unrecoverable error to the display module 2 through a Communication interface (Communication port) initialized in the boot program, or outputs the debug information to be stored in any storage device (e.g., a hard disk) for technical research and development personnel to refer to.
In step 52, the processing module 3 determines whether an interrupt signal indicating that the computing device 100 has an error is received in the boot-up procedure. When the processing module 3 determines that the interrupt signal is not received, the flow goes to step 53; when the processing module 3 determines that the interrupt signal was received, flow proceeds to step 54. Specifically, in this embodiment, the interrupt signal is used to indicate that a system register in the computing device 100 stores a first value indicating an error code. It should be noted that, since step 52 is in the boot stage and the operating System is not yet executed, the interrupt signal of step 52 belongs to a System Management Interrupt (SMI).
In step 53, the processing module 3 determines whether the boot process is complete. When the processing module 3 determines that the boot program is not completed, the processing module 3 continues to execute the boot program, and returns to step 52; when the processing module 3 determines that the boot-up procedure is completed, the boot-up phase recording procedure is terminated.
In the sub-step 54, the processing module 3 interrupts the currently executed boot program and executes the error handling program.
In step 55, the processing module 3 sets a display parameter indicating the display level of the debug information as all or part of the debug information through the error handling process. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, setting the display parameter to 3 means setting all debug information to be displayed, setting the display parameter to 2 means setting part of debug information to be displayed, and setting the display parameter to 1 means setting part of debug information to be displayed, wherein the amount of debug information displayed by setting the display parameter to 2 is larger and more detailed than the amount of debug information displayed by setting the display parameter to 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the display parameter is set to 3.
In step 56, the processing module 3 obtains a first target error code through the error handling procedure. The first target error code is one of the error codes.
Referring to fig. 5, it should be noted that step 56 further includes a sub-step 561 and a sub-step 562.
In sub-step 561, the processing module 3 obtains the first value stored in the system register through the error handling procedure.
In sub-step 562, the processing module 3 obtains the first target error code according to the first value through the error handling procedure.
In step 57, the processing module 3 determines whether the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the first target error code exceeds a predetermined frequency according to the error code repeat log table via the error handling program. When the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the first target error code does not exceed the preset frequency, performing step 58; when the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the first target error code exceeds the preset frequency, the process proceeds to step 61.
In step 58, the processing module 3 adds one to the number of occurrences of the first target error code in the repeat error code record table via the error handling procedure.
In step 59, when the first target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 displays all or part of the debugging information corresponding to the first target error code on the display module 2 through the communication interface according to the set display parameters via the error handling program, or outputs the debugging information and stores the debugging information in any storage device for the technical research and development personnel to refer. It should be noted that, if the technical developers have deleted the debug information corresponding to the first target error code, it means that the first target error code does not have the corresponding debug information, i.e. the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information; or, the processing module 3 determines whether the first target error code has corresponding debugging information according to the flag value corresponding to the first target error code, wherein when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the first target error code indicates that the debug information corresponding to the first target error code belongs to unnecessary debug information, it indicates that the first target error code does not have the corresponding debug information, that is, the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information, otherwise, when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the first target error code indicates that the debug information corresponding to the first target error code belongs to the necessary debug information, it means that the first target error code has the corresponding debugging information, i.e. the processing module 3 records or displays the debugging information corresponding to the first target error code.
In step 60, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display debug information via the error handling procedure. It should be noted that, in the embodiment, setting the display parameter to 0 means that the debugging information is not displayed.
In step 61, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display the debug information via the error handling procedure.
In step 62, when the first target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 does not record or display the debugging information corresponding to the first target error code on the display module 2 according to the set display parameters through the error handling program.
In step 63, the processing module 3 ends the error handling procedure and returns to step 52. It is noted that the display parameter is set to display all or part of the debugging information during the execution of the error handling procedure (step 55), and the display parameter is set to not display the debugging information before the error handling procedure is finished (steps 60 and 61), so as to control the corresponding debugging information to be displayed during the error handling procedure.
In step 64, the computer device 3 sets a display parameter indicating the display level of the debug information as all or part of the debug information. Specifically, in this embodiment, the display parameter is set to 3.
In step 65, the computer device 3 obtains a second target error code. The second target error code is one of the error codes. It is noted that the second target error code is an error that occurred when the computer device 100 executed the run-time logging program last time and resulted in the computer device 100 being restarted, and is not in time to log or display the error.
Referring to fig. 6, it is worth particularly describing that step 65 further includes a sub-step 651 and a sub-step 652.
In the sub-step 651, the computing device 3 obtains a second value stored by the system register.
In the sub-step 652, the computer device 3 obtains the second target error code according to the second value.
In step 66, the computer device 3 determines whether the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the second target error code exceeds the predetermined frequency according to the error code repeat log. When the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the second target error code does not exceed the preset frequency, the process proceeds to step 67; when the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the second target error code exceeds the predetermined frequency, the process proceeds to step 70.
In step 67, the processing module 3 adds one to the number of occurrences of the second target error code in the repeat error code record table.
In step 68, when the second target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 displays all or part of the debugging information corresponding to the second target error code on the display module 2 through the communication interface according to the set display parameters, or outputs the debugging information and stores the debugging information in any storage device for the technical research and development personnel to refer. It should be noted that, if the technical developers have deleted the debug information corresponding to the second target error code, it means that the second target error code does not have the corresponding debug information, i.e. the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information; or, the processing module 3 determines whether the second target error code has corresponding debugging information according to the flag value corresponding to the second target error code, wherein when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the second target error code indicates that the debugging information corresponding to the second target error code belongs to unnecessary debugging information, it indicates that the second target error code does not have the corresponding debugging information, that is, the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information, otherwise, when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the second target error code indicates that the debug information corresponding to the second target error code belongs to the necessary debug information, it means that the second target error code has the corresponding debugging information, i.e. the processing module 3 records or displays the debugging information corresponding to the second target error code.
In step 69, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display the debug information.
In step 70, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display the debug information.
In step 71, when the second target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 does not record or display the debugging information corresponding to the first target error code on the display module 2 according to the set display parameters.
In step 72, the processing module 3 sets the error parameter to indicate that the computer device 100 has not an unrecoverable error in the previous execution, and returns to step 52.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the run-phase recording program is used for recording or displaying debugging information when the computer device 100 is in a state of being powered on and executing an operating system, and includes a step 80, a step 81, a step 82, a step 83, a step 84, a step 85, a step 86, a step 87, a step 88, a step 89, a step 90, and a step 91.
In step 80, the processing module 3 determines whether another interrupt signal indicating that the computing device 100 has an error is received. When the processing module 3 determines that the other interrupt signal is not received, the process returns to step 80; when the processing module 3 determines that the other interrupt signal is received, the flow proceeds to step 81. It is noted that, since step 80 is after the booting is completed and the operating System is executed, the other interrupt signal of step 80 belongs to a System Control Interrupt (SCI).
In step 81, the processing module 3 interrupts a currently executed program and executes the error handling program. Specifically, in this embodiment, the other interrupt signal is used to indicate that the system register in the computing device 100 stores a third value indicating an error code.
In step 82, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to be all or part of the display debugging information via the error handling procedure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the display parameter is set to 3.
In step 83, the processing module 3 obtains a third target error code through the error handling program. The third target error code is one of the error codes.
Referring to fig. 9, it is worth particularly describing that the step 83 further includes a sub-step 831 and a sub-step 832.
In the sub-step 831, the processing module 3 obtains the third value stored in the system register through the error handling procedure.
In the sub-step 832, the processing module 3 obtains the third target error code according to the third value through the error handling procedure.
In step 84, the processing module 3 determines whether the error indicated by the third target error code is an unrecoverable error through the error handling program. When the processing module 3 determines that the error indicated by the third target error code is not an unrecoverable error, the process proceeds to step 85; when the processing module 3 determines that the error indicated by the third target error code is an unrecoverable error, the process proceeds to step 91.
In step 85, the processing module 3 determines whether the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the third target error code exceeds the predetermined frequency according to the error code repeat log table via the error handling program. When the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the third target error code does not exceed the preset frequency, performing a flow step 86; when the processing module 3 determines that the occurrence frequency of the debug information corresponding to the third target error code exceeds the predetermined frequency, the process proceeds to step 89.
In step 86, the processing module 3 adds one to the number of occurrences of the third target error code in the repeat error code record table via the error handling procedure.
In step 87, when the third target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 displays all or part of the debugging information corresponding to the third target error code on the display module 2 through the communication interface according to the set display parameters via the error handling program, or outputs the debugging information and stores the debugging information in any storage device for the technical research and development personnel to refer. It should be noted that, if the technical developers have deleted the debug information corresponding to the third target error code, it means that the third target error code does not have the corresponding debug information, i.e. the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information; or, the processing module 3 determines whether the third target error code has corresponding debugging information according to the flag value corresponding to the third target error code, wherein when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the third target error code indicates that the debug information corresponding to the third target error code belongs to unnecessary debug information, it indicates that the third target error code does not have the corresponding debug information, that is, the processing module 3 does not record or display any debug information, otherwise, when the processing module 3 determines that the flag value corresponding to the third target error code indicates that the debug information corresponding to the third target error code belongs to the necessary debug information, it means that the third target error code has the corresponding debugging information, i.e. the processing module 3 records or displays the debugging information corresponding to the third target error code.
In step 88, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display debug information via the error handling process, and returns to step 80.
In step 89, the processing module 3 sets the display parameter to not display debug information via the error handling procedure.
In step 90, when the third target error code has the corresponding debugging information, the processing module 3 does not record or display the debugging information corresponding to the third target error code on the display module 2 according to the set display parameters through the error handling program, and returns to step 80.
In step 91, the processing module 3 sets the error parameter to indicate that an unrecoverable error occurred in the previous execution of the computing device 100 via the error handling program. Specifically, when the computer device 100 has an unrecoverable error during execution, the computer device 100 automatically restarts and executes the boot-stage recording program until it is too late to record or display the debugging information corresponding to the third target error code (unrecoverable error). Then, when step 51 of the boot-stage registration procedure determines that an unrecoverable error occurs in the computer device 100 during the previous execution of the runtime registration procedure, the processing module 3 determines the third value stored in the sub-step 831 as the second value of the sub-step 651 in step 65, obtains the second target error code (at this time, the third target error code is identical to the second target error code), and then outputs the debugging information (the debugging information corresponding to the second target error code) that the computer device 100 cannot record or display due to automatic restart to the display module 2 through the communication interface, or outputs the debugging information and stores the debugging information in any storage device for a research and development technician to refer.
In summary, the present invention is applied to a method for recording Debug information during a boot stage and a run stage after boot, wherein the storage module 1 stores the error codes and the filtered Debug information, and the processing module 3 executes the boot stage recording program and the run stage recording program, respectively, during the boot stage and without executing the operating system, and after the boot is completed and the operating system is executed, and the display parameter is set to display all or part of the Debug information and the occurrence frequency does not exceed a predetermined frequency, the corresponding Debug information is recorded or displayed on the display module 2, so as to effectively control the display period and the display frequency for recording or displaying necessary Debug information effective for technicians without recording a second version of a basic input output system (Debug Mode BIOS), meanwhile, the starting time is shortened, and the labor waste of technical research personnel for client field maintenance is reduced. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved.
