Description

Hardware self-adaption method and device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of operating system security technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for forcibly closing an application, a computing device, and a readable storage medium.

Background

A driver of a hardware device, also called a driver, is a special program that enables communication between a computer and the hardware device, and corresponds to a hardware interface through which an operating system needs to control the hardware device. The hardware is adaptive, so that the computing device can normally use the hardware device, but the computing device can normally use the hardware device by installing a driver corresponding to the hardware device on the operating system.

Drivers for operating systems (e.g., linux operating systems) are not manually installed, and are compiled directly into the kernel if they are important functions (e.g., linux operating systems), or are compiled into kernel modules if they are non-important functions (e.g., linux operating systems) and are called by the kernel if necessary. For the kernel module, the current operating system stores a large number of unused kernel modules in order to meet the compatibility of hardware, and since the memory occupied by the kernel is not swapped out, the kernel module linked into the kernel brings certain performance and memory utilization losses to the whole system. And due to the diversity of models and types of hardware equipment, some special hardware equipment can normally work only by special configuration and operation, such as the configuration of a Bumblebee display card. However, such non-conventional configurations tend to be incompatible with conventional devices (for example).

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a hardware adaptive method to solve the problems that the unconventional configuration is difficult to be compatible with the configuration of the conventional device, and excessive kernel modules in the kernel cause memory waste.

The "match" field in the example of the hardware adaptation file is part of hardware information in the hardware adaptation file, and the hardware information may be configured according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the hardware information includes one or more of operating system information (i.e., os field content), desktop management interface information (i.e., dmi field content), CPU information (i.e., CPU field content), memory information (i.e., memory field content), disk information (i.e., disk field content), sound card information (i.e., sound field content), video card information (i.e., graphic field content), network information (i.e., network field content), camera information (i.e., camera field content), power information (i.e., battery field content), bluetooth information (i.e., bluetooth field content), external device information (i.e., peripheral field content), external device interconnection standard information (i.e., pci field content), and USB information (i.e., USB field content). The hardware information corresponding to each hardware may be the same or different, and the hardware information in the adaptation file of each hardware includes one or more of the hardware information described above. For example, the "match" field includes only CPU information, indicating that CPU adaptation is required.

The "name" field in the adaptation file example is the name of the adaptation file, and the value of the "name" field is "ui _ test _ 1", which indicates that the current adaptation file is for the test interface.

The "action" field in the adaptation file example is a plurality of operations to be executed by the hardware, and the plurality of operations may be set according to an actual application scenario. For example, the plurality of operations may include verify (), application (), check () and rolback (), and if the CPU is adapted, the CPU needs to execute four functions of verify (), application (), check () and rolback ().

The code under each operation is the objective function corresponding to the operation. For example, the code under the application (shown below), the code shown below, is the objective function of the application operation.

The target function of each operation is specified with an operation type, i.e. a type field in the target function of each operation, and the value of the type field is the specific operation type. The operation type may be set according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the operation types include cmdlene (execution command), service (creation, deletion, self-start, etc. of service), config (addition, deletion, change, and check of configuration), file (addition, deletion, change, and check of configuration file), and the like.

When the computing device 100 is wirelessly connected to the network server 118-1 and wirelessly connected through the network, the network signal is prone to be unstable, and in this case, the computing device 100 cannot timely obtain the hardware adaptation file from the network server 118-1, which may affect the hardware adaptation. In order to alleviate this, a small amount of necessary hardware adaptation files may be stored in the computing device in advance, so that the hardware adaptation files matching the hardware are timely acquired in the hardware adaptation process. The necessary hardware adaptation file here may be understood as a hardware adaptation file with high use frequency, but of course, the necessary hardware adaptation file is not limited thereto, and may be defined according to the actual situation of hardware adaptation in the computing device. For example, the necessary hardware adaptation file may be a hardware adaptation file driven by a network card.

It should be noted that the hardware adaptation includes two aspects. In one aspect, a driver corresponding to the hardware device is installed on the operating system, so that the computing device can normally use the hardware device. On the other hand, on the premise of installing the driver, the hardware device needs to perform a specific operation, and then the computing device can normally use the device.

FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a hardware adaptation method 200 according to one embodiment of the invention. The method 200 is suitable for execution in the computing device 100, and the method 200 is a hardware adaptation method corresponding to the first aspect (i.e., installing a driver corresponding to a hardware device on an operating system so that the computing device can normally use the hardware device). The method 200 includes steps S201 to S209.

Firstly, a hardware self-adaptive user graphical interface is started, wherein the user graphical interface comprises an interface for acquiring a hardware adaptation file, and when a user triggers the interface, the operation is responded, and the step S201 is executed to acquire network information. After the network information is acquired, step S202 is executed to determine whether to communicatively connect with the network server according to the network information. Judging whether to communicate with the network server according to the network information is the prior art, and the details are not described herein, but the invention is within the protection scope of the invention.

When the network is not connected, step S203 is executed to obtain the hardware adaptation file from the local. If the installation package is integrated in the installation package of the application program or the plug-in corresponding to the hardware adaptive method, the obtaining of the hardware adaptation file from the local place can be understood as obtaining the hardware adaptation file from the installation package of the application program or the plug-in corresponding to the hardware adaptive method.

When the network is connected, step S204 is executed to obtain the hardware adaptation file from the network server. Specifically, a request to obtain a hardware adaptation file is first generated and sent to web server 118-1 communicatively coupled to computing device 100, and in one embodiment, the request to obtain the hardware adaptation file is sent to web server 118-1 by invoking a RESTful interface of web server 118-1. In response to the request for obtaining the hardware adaptation file, the web server 118-1 obtains all the hardware adaptation files, and also sends all the obtained hardware adaptation files to the computing device 100 through the RESTful interface.

Therefore, when the network is abnormal, the hardware adaptation file can still be obtained, and effective execution of the hardware adaptation process is guaranteed. And moreover, a RESTful interface is adopted to obtain a hardware adaptation file, the interfaces are uniform, and management and use are facilitated.

After the computing device 100 receives the hardware adaptation file sent by the network server 118-1, or after the computing device 100 acquires all the stored hardware adaptation files locally, step S205 is executed to determine a target hardware adaptation file from the acquired hardware adaptation files.

In one embodiment, step S205 includes: and displaying the acquired hardware adaptation file on a user graphical interface of the computing equipment, responding to the operation of selecting the hardware adaptation file by the user, and taking the hardware adaptation file selected by the user as a target hardware adaptation file.

For example, a list of names of the acquired hardware adaptation files is displayed on a graphical user interface of the computing device, and the hardware adaptation file corresponding to the selected name is used as the target hardware adaptation file in response to an operation of selecting one or more data items in the list by a user.

In another embodiment, step S205 includes: and taking all the acquired hardware adaptation files as target hardware adaptation files. At this point, all solutions for hardware adaptation files are applied.

After the target hardware adaptation file is determined, step S206 is executed to determine the hardware to be adapted corresponding to the target hardware adaptation file, and acquire the device information of the hardware to be adapted. In some embodiments, device information is obtained via a device file in/sys/class, an lspci command, an lshw command, a dmidrecode command, and the like.

Since the target hardware adaptation file may be one or more, the acquired hardware to be adapted is also one or more, so that the device information of the hardware to be adapted is also one or more groups, and each group of device information corresponds to one hardware to be adapted.

After the device information of the adaptive hardware is acquired, step S207 is executed to match the acquired device information with the device information of the hardware in the target hardware adaptation file, step S208 is executed to determine whether the acquired device information matches the device information of the hardware in the target hardware adaptation file (i.e., the data of the match portion in the target hardware adaptation file), if yes, step S209 is executed to acquire a driver corresponding to the hardware to be adapted from the installation package, and install the driver in the operating system of the computing device. And if the hardware is not matched with the hardware to be self-adapted, not installing a driving program corresponding to the hardware to be self-adapted, and ending the execution of the program. Thereby ensuring that only the device matched with the target hardware adaptation file can install the driver.

According to the scheme, the kernel modules corresponding to the unnecessary drivers are compiled into the installation package, and the corresponding drivers are installed only when the hardware is successfully matched, namely the kernel modules corresponding to the drivers are installed. Because only necessary kernel modules exist in the operating system, and other kernel modules are selectively installed according to hardware, the number of kernel modules in the operating system is greatly reduced, so that the memory occupied by the kernel is reduced, and the performance of the computing equipment and the utilization rate of memory resources are improved.

Thus, hardware adaptation is achieved by installing drivers. Step S201 to step S209 are executed whenever hardware adaptation by installing a driver is required.

Fig. 3 shows a flow diagram of a hardware adaptation method 300 according to another embodiment of the invention. The method 300 is also suitable for execution in the computing device 100, and the method 300 is a hardware adaptive method corresponding to the second aspect (i.e., the hardware device needs to perform a specific operation before the computing device can normally use the device if the driver is installed). The method 300 includes steps S301 to S310. Steps S301 to S309 are the same as steps S201 to S209 of the method 200, and are not described herein again.

Before the method 300 is described, it should be noted that the computing device further stores a code template, which is created and stored in advance, and is adapted to generate a scheme code according to the hardware adaptation file, so that the hardware to be adapted performs an operation in the hardware adaptation file according to the scheme code. An example of a code template is given below:

#include "ActionUtil.h"

#include "ISolution.h"

class HardwareName_SolutionImpl : public ISolution

{

bool verify(QString &str) override

{

bool ret = false;

//Verify the validity of the plug-in

return ret;

}

bool apply() override

{

bool ret = false;

//Apply module replacement area

return ret;

}

bool check() override

{

bool ret = false;

//Check module replacement area

return ret;

}

bool rollback() override

{

bool ret = false;

//Rollback module replacement area

return ret;

}

};

#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C"{

#endif

ISolution* getInstance()

{

return new HardwareName_SolutionImpl();

}

#ifdef __cplusplus

}

#endif

after the driver is installed in step S309, step S310 is executed to control the hardware to be adapted to execute a plurality of operations of the target hardware adaptation file according to the code template.

In one embodiment, step S310 specifically includes: firstly, analyzing keywords of a code template, determining keywords corresponding to each operation in a target hardware adaptation file, inserting a target function of each operation of the target hardware adaptation file into the position of the keyword corresponding to the target function, thereby generating a scheme code, and executing the scheme code to control the hardware to be self-adapted to execute a plurality of operations of the target hardware adaptation file. I.e. to implement the specific operations performed by the hardware to be adapted.

It should be noted that the programming language of the generated scenario code may be selected according to the actual application scenario, which is not limited by the present invention. For example, the programming language of the generated plan code is C + +.

The target function comprises a first function for verifying the legality of the scheme code, a second function for executing the target operation, a third function for verifying whether the target operation is normally executed or not and a fourth function with a rollback function. The first function, the second function, the third function and the fourth function may be selected according to an actual application scenario, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the target function may include a first function of verifying the legitimacy of the scheme code may be verify (), a second function of executing the target operation may be apply (), a third function of verifying whether the target operation is normally executed may be check (), and a fourth function having a rollback function may be rollback ().

Taking the code template and the programming language shown above as C + + format, and the target function including verify (), apply (), check (), and rollback () as examples, the following example of the scheme code is obtained:

#include "ActionUtil.h"

#include "ISolution.h"

class NETWORK_PCIE_R0IN117W_SolutionImpl : public ISolution

{

bool verify(QString &str) override

{

bool ret = false;

ret = str == "f68d27da17d9fd49440b0b8dac130f4f98a2d4c6aca3c9221cdbc8b264b2c8be";

if (!ret) {

m_lastError = "plugin verify failed";

return false;

}

return ret;

}

bool apply() override

{

bool ret = false;

ret = Action::execCmdLine("echo \"blacklist acer_wmi\" | tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/xiaomi_disable_acer_wmi.conf | update-initramfs -u -k all");

if (!ret) {

m_lastError = "execCmdLine failed";

return false;

}

return ret;

}

bool check() override

{

bool ret = false;

ret = File::compareFile("/etc/modprobe.d/xiaomi_disable_acer_wmi.conf", "blacklist acer_wmi");

if (!ret) {

m_lastError = "Invalid check:/etc/modprobe.d/xiaomi_disable_acer_wmi.conf does not exist";

return false;

}

return ret;

}

bool rollback() override

{

bool ret = false;

ret = Action::execCmdLine("rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/xiaomi_disable_acer_wmi.conf | update-initramfs -u -k all");

if (!ret) {

m_lastError = "execCmdLine failed";

return false;

}

return ret;

}

in one implementation, FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of executing scenario code, including steps S401 through S407, according to one embodiment of the invention.

First, in step S401, a first function of the scheme code for verifying the validity of the scheme code is executed to obtain a first return value. The first return value includes two different values, a first value and a second value, the first value is different from the second value, the first value indicates that the scheme code is legal, and the second value indicates that the scheme code is illegal. For example, the first value may be 1 and the second value may be 0.

And executing step S402 to judge whether the scheme code is legal according to the first return value. Specifically, when the first return value is the first value, which indicates that the scheme code is legal, step S403 is executed to execute a second function for determining whether the scheme code is executed completely, so as to obtain a second return value. And if the scheme code is illegal when the first return value is the second value, ending the execution of the program.

The second return value includes two different values, which are a third value and a fourth value, respectively, where the third value is different from the fourth value, the third value indicates that the target function of the target operation is executed, and the fourth value indicates that the target function of the target operation is not executed. For example, the third value may be 1 and the fourth value may be 0.

Then, step S404 is executed to determine whether the target operation is completed according to the second return value. Specifically, when the second return value is the third value, which indicates that the target operation is completed, step S405 is continuously executed to execute a third function in the scheme code, which verifies whether the target operation is normally executed, so as to obtain a third return value. If the second return value is the fourth value, which indicates that the target operation is not completed, step S404 is executed continuously.

The third return value also includes two different values, which are a fifth value and a sixth value, respectively, where the fifth value is different from the sixth value, the fifth value indicates that the target function of the target operation is normally executed, and the sixth value indicates that the target function of the target operation is not normally executed, that is, there is an exception during the execution. Likewise, for example, the fifth value may be 1 and the sixth value may be 0.

Subsequently, S406 is executed, and it is determined whether the target operation is normally executed according to the third return value. Specifically, when the third return value is the fifth value, the target function indicating the target operation is normally executed, and then the execution of the program is ended. If the third return value is the sixth value, which indicates that the target function of the target operation has an exception in the execution process and is not normally executed, S407 is continuously executed to obtain the error code segment, and a fourth function with a rollback function in the scheme code is executed for the error code segment to rollback the error code segment.

Therefore, whether the scheme code is legal is judged through the first function, whether the scheme code is executed completely is judged through the second function, whether the target operation is executed normally is verified through the third function, and when the execution is wrong, the error code segment is rolled back through the fourth function, so that the execution reliability of the scheme code is ensured, and the error code is corrected when the execution is wrong, so that the scheme code is effectively executed.

In order to cause a security risk due to malicious modification of a source file of a scheme code, in one embodiment, the scheme code is generated into a dynamic link library, so that it can be ensured that the source file of the scheme code does not exist in an operating system of a computing device, thereby preventing the scheme code source file from being maliciously modified and ensuring the security of the scheme code source file.

Up to this point, hardware adaptation is achieved by performing specific operations after the driver is installed. The steps S301 to S310 are performed whenever hardware adaptation by performing a specific operation is required.

Fig. 5 shows a block diagram of a hardware adaptation apparatus 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The hardware adaptation apparatus 500 includes an acquisition module 510, a control module 520, and an installation driver sequence module 530, which are coupled in sequence.

The obtaining module 510 is adapted to obtain the hardware adaptation file from the network server in response to an operation of triggering the obtaining of the hardware adaptation file interface.

The control module 520 is adapted to determine a target hardware adaptation file from the acquired hardware adaptation files, determine to-be-adapted hardware corresponding to the target hardware adaptation file, and acquire device information of the to-be-adapted hardware.

And the installation driving module 530 is adapted to match the acquired device information with the device information of the hardware in the target hardware adaptation file, and if the matching is successful, acquire a driving program corresponding to the hardware to be adapted from the installation package and install the driving program in the operating system of the computing device.

It should be noted that the operation principle of the hardware adaptation apparatus 500 is similar to that of the hardware adaptation method 200, and reference may be made to the description of the hardware adaptation method 200 for relevant points, which is not described herein again.

As can be seen from the above, in the hardware adaptive scheme provided by the present invention, the kernel modules corresponding to unnecessary drivers are compiled into the installation package, and the kernel modules corresponding to the corresponding drivers are installed only when the hardware is successfully matched. Because only the kernel module corresponding to the necessary driver exists in the operating system, and other kernel modules are selectively installed according to actual hardware, the number of the kernel modules in the operating system is greatly reduced, the memory occupied by the kernel is further reduced, and the utilization rate of memory resources is improved.
