PCI-Express (peripheral component interconnect express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for opening a system boot watchdog according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a BIOS (Basic Input Output System ), and the method includes:
step S1: and loading a preset starting white list when starting.
In this embodiment, the starting of the operating system in the device requires loading an operating system boot program (i.e., OS loader) by the BIOS to control the operating system to start. After BIOS is started, loading a preset starting white list which is built in advance, wherein the preset starting white list stores at least one starting parameter type of white list starting parameter which is used for determining whether the current operating system starting process meets the condition of controlling the start of the watchdog function of the OS loader.
Step S2: before the system boot is started, acquiring each starting parameter corresponding to the starting parameter type in the preset starting white list.
In this embodiment, when the system boot (i.e., the OS loader) is started, it is required to determine whether the BIOS is required to control the start of the watchdog function of the OS loader, so that before the system boot is started, the BIOS obtains each start parameter having the same type as the start parameter in the preset start whitelist. For example, in the case where the startup parameter types in the preset startup whitelist include whitelist startup parameters of type a and type b, each startup parameter belonging to type a and each startup parameter belonging to type b are acquired by the BIOS.
Step S3: and determining that the watchdog function guided by the system is started according to the preset starting white list and the acquired starting parameters.
In this embodiment, after loading the preset starting whitelist and obtaining each starting parameter with the same type as the starting parameter in the preset starting whitelist through step S1 and step S2, the BIOS determines whether to start the watchdog function of the system boot according to the relationship between each obtained starting parameter and each starting parameter of the whitelist in the preset whitelist. Under the condition that the BIOS determines that the watchdog function of the system guide needs to be started, directly controlling the start of the watchdog function of the system guide; and in the case that the BIOS determines that the system-guided watchdog function is not required to be started, the system-guided watchdog function is directly controlled not to be started.
The method for starting the system boot watchdog is applied to a BIOS (BasicInput Output System basic input output system), and firstly, when the system boot (namely an OS loader) is started, a preset starting white list constructed in advance is obtained; acquiring each starting parameter corresponding to the starting parameter type in the preset starting white list in the process of starting system guidance; and determining whether to start the watchdog function guided by the system according to the preset starting white list and the obtained starting parameters. Therefore, by introducing a preset starting white list which is built in advance, acquiring relevant starting parameters in the process of starting the OS loader by the BIOS, comparing the acquired starting parameters with the starting parameters in the preset starting white list, and determining whether the current scene of starting the OS loader needs to start the watchdog function of the OS loader or not by the BIOS according to the comparison result, the engineering personnel does not need to start or close the corresponding watchdog function of the OS loader according to the actual scene of starting the OS loader, thereby simplifying the production procedure of the server production detection link and improving the usability of the server research and development stage and the client maintenance stage.
In combination with the above embodiment, in an implementation manner, the embodiment of the application further provides a method for opening the system-guided watchdog. In the method for opening the system-guided watchdog, the starting parameter types in the preset starting white list comprise starting medium slot position information, starting medium and starting path.
In this embodiment, the type of the start parameter included in the preset start whitelist that is pre-built in the present application preferably includes start medium slot information, start medium and start path at the same time. The starting media refer to various media required to be started by the operating system, including but not limited to USB starting media, SSD/HDD starting media, PXE starting media, CDROM starting media and the like, wherein SSD/HDD comprises an SAS/SATA HDD disk and an NVMe SSD disk; the boot media slot information refers to a plurality of hardware ports on the server, which can be used as boot media access ports of an OS (i.e., an operating system), for example, there may be 3 USB interfaces, 2 m.2nvme slots, a plurality of network ports supporting PXE functions, etc. on the server, where the ports have corresponding slot codes, and the boot media of the OS (i.e., the operating system) can perform the boot of the OS through the ports, for example, in the case where the boot media is USB, the USB boot media can boot the OS through the USB interfaces; the boot path refers to a storage path corresponding to a boot item file corresponding to an OS loader, for example: EFI/redhat/osloader wdt/grubx64.EFI. For example, the types of the starting parameters included in the preset starting whitelist which is pre-built in the application include the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path, the PXE starting medium and the NVMe starting medium are stored in the preset starting whitelist to be used as the whitelist starting medium, the slot information of the first slot in the 2 pieces of m.2 starting medium slot information is stored in the preset starting whitelist to be used as the whitelist starting medium slot information, and the "/EFI/redhat/osloader wdt/grubx64.EFI" starting path is stored in the preset starting whitelist to be used as the whitelist starting path, and the whitelist starting medium, the whitelist starting medium slot information and the whitelist starting path are all called whitelist starting parameters.
In this embodiment, the type of the starting parameter included in the preset starting whitelist previously constructed in this application may also include only any one of the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path, or may include only any two of the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path.
In combination with the above embodiment, in an implementation manner, the embodiment of the application further provides a method for opening the system-guided watchdog. In the system-guided watchdog opening method, step S3 may include steps S31 to S32:
step S31: and comparing the obtained starting parameters with the starting parameters of the white list under the corresponding starting parameter types in the preset starting white list to obtain a comparison result.
In this embodiment, the type of the starting parameter in the preset starting whitelist may only include any one of the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path, or may only include any two of the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path, or may also include all three of the starting medium slot information, the starting medium and the starting path.
In this embodiment, when comparing the acquired starting parameter with the white list starting parameter in the preset starting white list, the same starting parameter type is compared, for example, the acquired starting medium is compared with the white list starting medium in the preset starting white list, the acquired starting medium slot position information is compared with the white list starting medium slot position information in the preset starting white list, and the acquired starting path is compared with the white list starting path in the preset starting white list.
And in the case that the type of the starting parameter in the preset starting white list comprises a starting medium, the starting medium for starting the operating system, such as any one of a USB starting medium, a PXE starting medium, an NVMe SSD starting medium and the like, is acquired before the BIOS starts the system.
And under the condition that the type of the starting parameter in the preset starting white list comprises the starting medium slot information, the starting medium slot information is acquired before the BIOS starts the system to boot. In the X86 system server, the boot media port is typically a PCIe device port, so the present application uses BDF information of the PCIe device as slot information to uniquely identify different boot media slot information in the server. BDF information of PCIe devices consists of PCIe Bus, PCIe Device and Functions, for example, BDF information is 0000:01:00.0 represents PCIe devices located in Bus0, device1, and Func0 slots.
And under the condition that the type of the starting parameters in the preset starting white list comprises a starting path, acquiring a corresponding starting path before the BIOS starts the system to boot, wherein the starting path is a storage path where the starting item file is located.
In this embodiment, when the type of the start parameter in the preset start white list includes a start medium, the start medium acquired before the BIOS starts the system boot is compared with each white list start medium included in the preset start white list, so as to obtain a corresponding comparison result.
The white list starting media included in the preset starting white list include a PXE starting media and an NVMe starting media, the starting media obtained before the BIOS starting system is guided include a USB starting media and a PXE starting media, and at this time, the obtained USB starting media and PXE starting media are compared with the PXE starting media and the NVMe starting media in the preset starting white list, so as to obtain a comparison result.
In this embodiment, when the type of the start parameter in the preset start white list includes start medium slot information, the start medium slot information acquired before the BIOS starts the system boot is compared with each white list start medium slot information included in the preset start white list, so as to obtain a corresponding comparison result.
For example, the general server may configure 3 USB interface slots, 2 m.2nvme slots, and a plurality of network port slots supporting PXE functions, and in this example, the slot information of the first slot of the 2 m.2nvme slots and the slot information of all the network port slots are determined as the white list start medium slot information in the preset start white list. The slot information of the starting medium acquired before the BIOS starts the system to guide is the slot information of the second slot in the 2 m.2NVMe slots and the slot information of the slot of the network port. And comparing the acquired slot position information of the second slot position in the 2 m.2NVMe slot positions with the slot position information of the one network port slot position with the slot position information of each white list starting medium in the preset starting white list to obtain a comparison result.
In this embodiment, when the type of the start parameter in the preset start white list includes a start path, the start path obtained before the BIOS starts the system boot is compared with each white list start path in the preset start white list, so as to obtain a corresponding comparison result.
For example, the server may start an operating system through the BIOS in different manners, such as starting a local operating system through the BIOS, or starting an operating system through the BIOS based on a PXE starting medium using a network interface, or starting an operating system through the BIOS based on an NVMe starting medium, where storage paths of used startup item files are different when the BIOS starts a corresponding operating system in different manners, so that by excluding storage paths of some startup item files from a preset startup whitelist, a startup manner for operating system startup through some startup item files may be automatically controlled by the BIOS without starting a watchdog function guided by the system. In this example, a startup path "/EFI/redhat/osloader_ wdt/grubx64.EFI" is determined as a white list startup path in a preset startup white list, the startup path obtained before the BIOS startup system boots is "/EFI/redhat/osloader_ wdt/grubx64.EFI", and at this time, the obtained startup path is compared with the white list startup path in the preset startup white list, so as to obtain a corresponding comparison result.
Step S32: and starting the watchdog function guided by the system under the condition that the starting parameters of each starting parameter type obtained by the comparison result characterization comprise target starting parameters existing in the preset starting white list.
In this embodiment, in the case that the type of the starting parameter in the preset starting whitelist includes only one type of starting parameter (for example, includes only a starting medium, or includes only starting medium slot information, or includes only a starting path), when each starting parameter obtained by comparing the result characterization includes a target starting parameter existing in the preset starting whitelist, a watchdog function guided by the BIOS automatic control system is started.
The preset starting white list only comprises a starting parameter type of starting media, meanwhile, the white list starting media are PXE starting media and NVMe SSD starting media, the starting media acquired before the BIOS starting system is guided are USB starting media and PXE starting media, at the moment, the acquired USB starting media and PXE starting media are compared with each white list starting media in the preset starting white list, the acquired comparison result is that the two acquired starting media comprise PXE starting media in the preset starting white list, the PXE starting media are target starting media, at the moment, the starting media identifier of the OS loader is set to true by default false, and at the moment, the BIOS automatically controls the watchdog function guided by the starting system.
The preset starting white list only includes a starting parameter type of starting medium slot information, meanwhile, the white list starting medium slot information is slot information of a first slot position and slot information of all network port slots in 2 m.2NVMe slots of a server, the starting medium slot information acquired before the BIOS starting system is guided is slot information of 1 network port slot and slot information of a second slot position in 2 m.2NVMe slots, at this time, the acquired slot information of the network port slots is slot information of a target starting medium and slot information of the second slot position in 2 m.2NVMe slots are compared with each white list starting medium slot information in the preset starting white list, and because the slot information of all network port slots exists in the preset starting white list, the acquired comparison result is that the acquired slot information of each starting medium slot position includes the network port slot information in the preset starting white list, the slot information of the network port slot is the target starting medium slot information, at this time, and the error function of the system is automatically guided by a default, and the error function of the system is started.
For example, the preset starting white list only includes the starting parameter type of the starting path, meanwhile, the white list starting path is "/EFI/redhat/osloader_ wdt/grubx64.EFI", the starting path obtained before the BIOS starting system is booted is "/EFI/redhat/osloader_ wdt/grubx64.EFI", at this time, the obtained starting path is compared with each white list starting path in the preset starting white list, the obtained comparison result is that the obtained starting path exists in the preset starting white list, at this time, the starting path identifier of the OS loader is set to true by default false, at this time, the BIOS automatically controls and starts the watchdog function guided by the system.
In this embodiment, in the case that the startup parameter types in the preset startup whitelist include three or any two startup parameter types, when the startup parameter under each startup parameter type obtained by comparing the result characterization includes the target startup parameter existing in the preset startup whitelist, the watchdog function guided by the IOS automatic control system is started.
For example, the starting parameter types in the preset starting white list include starting medium and starting medium slot information, meanwhile, the white list starting medium is a PXE starting medium and an NVMe SSD starting medium, the white list starting medium slot information is slot information of a first slot of 2 m.2NVMe slots, the starting medium acquired before the BIOS starting system guides is an NVMe SSD starting medium and a USB starting medium, and the acquired starting medium slot information is slot information of the first slot of 2 m.2NVMe slots and slot information of one network port slot. At the moment, the obtained NVMeSSD starting medium and the USB starting medium are compared with a white list starting medium in a preset starting white list, and the obtained slot information of the first slot in the 2 m.2NVMe slots and the slot information of one network port slot are compared with the white list starting medium slot information in the preset starting white list. The comparison result obtained at this time is that the obtained plurality of starting media have the NVMe SSD starting media existing in the preset starting white list, at this time, the NVMe SSD starting media are the target starting parameters existing in the preset starting white list under the starting parameter type of the starting media, and meanwhile, the obtained plurality of starting media slot information have the slot information of the first slot of the 2 m.2NVMe slots existing in the preset starting white list, at this time, the slot information of the first slot of the 2 m.2NVMe slots is the target starting parameter existing in the preset starting white list under the starting parameter type of the starting media slot information. Therefore, the default false is set as true for the boot media identifier of the OSloader, and the default false is set as true for the boot media slot information identifier of the OS loader, and because the identifiers corresponding to all the two types of boot parameters included in the preset boot white list are true, the BIOS automatically controls and starts the watchdog function guided by the system. If false exists in the corresponding identifiers of all the starting parameter types in the preset starting white list, the BIOS will not control the start of the watchdog function guided by the system.
In this embodiment, in the case where the types of the startup parameters in the preset startup whitelist include a plurality of types, the types of the startup parameters for performing the comparison operation may have a sequence. For the starting parameter type of the first comparison operation (it should be understood that the starting parameter type of the first comparison operation may be any starting parameter type), after each starting parameter of the starting parameter type of the first comparison operation is obtained, the starting parameter is compared with the white list starting parameter of the same starting parameter type in the preset starting white list to obtain a comparison result, when the obtained comparison result characterizes that each starting parameter does not include the target starting parameter existing in the preset starting white list, the subsequent comparison operation may be ended, and the watchdog function which is not started by the system is directly determined. The sequence may be optionally combined, and is not particularly limited herein, for example, when the type of the starting parameter in the preset starting white list includes a starting medium, starting medium slot position information and a starting path, the sequence may be that the obtained starting mediums are compared with the white list starting mediums in the preset starting white list, then the obtained starting medium slot position information is compared with the white list starting medium slot position information in the preset starting white list, and finally the obtained starting path is compared with the white list starting path in the preset starting white list; or comparing the obtained starting paths, then comparing the obtained starting media, finally comparing the obtained starting media slot position information, and the like. Under the condition that the starting parameter types in the preset starting white list comprise a plurality of types, various starting parameter types for comparison operation can be performed simultaneously, whether the watchdog function guided by the system is started or not is comprehensively determined according to a plurality of comparison results corresponding to the various starting parameter types, if the identifications corresponding to all the starting parameter types are finally obtained, whether all the identifications are all the features is determined, and the BIOS controls the watchdog function guided by the system to be started only when all the identifications are the features.
For example, for the sake of understanding the embodiments, the preset starting whitelist includes whitelist starting parameters a1, a2, a3 of a type of starting parameters, whitelist starting parameters B1, B2, B3 of a type of starting parameters, and whitelist starting parameters C1, C2, C3 of a type of starting parameters. The starting parameters of the type A starting parameters acquired by the BIOS before the system is started comprise a1 and a4, the starting parameters of the type B starting parameters comprise B2 and B4, and the starting parameters of the type C starting parameters comprise C1 and a5. Since the acquired starting parameters a1 and a4 include a1 existing in a preset starting white list, the identifier of the type of the A starting parameter of the OS loader is set to true by default false; since the acquired starting parameters B2 and B4 include B2 existing in the preset starting white list, the identifier of the type of the B starting parameter of the OS loader is set to true by default false; since the acquired startup parameters C1 and C5 include C1 existing in the preset startup white list, the identifier of the type of the C startup parameter of the OS loader is set to true by default false. Finally, the identification of the three types of starting parameters is wire, so that the BIOS automatically controls and starts the watchdog function of the system boot.
In this embodiment, for the problem that the OS loader watchdog function is not supported by the production detection system in the server production process, the OS watchdog is required to be turned off before the production detection, and the corresponding watchdog function is not turned on when the BIOS is controlled to be turned on because the USB startup white list is not present in the preset startup white list, and the process is automatically completed by the engineering staff after the preset startup white list is built and placed in the BIOS, without the need of the engineering staff to turn off the watchdog function first for each production detection, so that the production process of the server can be effectively detected.
In this embodiment, for the problem that the OS loader is usually not fed to the dog, when the system filling is performed, the OS loader watchdog needs to be closed first to perform filling, and the complexity of the system filling is increased.
In this embodiment, the server may load an OS system that does not support the OS loader watchdog, if the OS loader watchdog is not closed, the system is restarted all the time, and a common scenario is a problem that different types of OS systems are loaded for testing in development and testing, and because of different operating systems, the system generally has uniformity in a startup path and the like. For example, for the same OS system which does not support the OS loader watchdog, the starting paths are generally consistent, at this time, by the method for starting the system boot watchdog provided by the application, when the preset starting white list is built, the preset starting white list firstly comprises the starting parameter type of the starting path, and meanwhile, the starting paths on which the OS system which does not support the OS loader watchdog is excluded from the preset starting white list, when the server loads the OS system which does not support the OS loader watchdog, the BIOS will not start the watchdog function when controlling to start the system boot based on the preset starting white list, so that the system is prevented from being restarted all the time, and the process is automatically completed by the BIOS after the preset starting white list is built and placed in the BIOS, so that the usability of a customer maintenance stage can be effectively improved.

In the system boot watchdog starting method, in the case that the preset starting white list is configured to the setup of the BIOS, the method further includes steps S011 to S013:
Step S011: and updating the preset starting white list.
In this embodiment, under the condition that the preset starting white list constructed in advance is configured to the setup interface of the BIOS, the preset starting white list can be conveniently updated and adjusted, and first, a new preset starting white list is constructed by an engineering person, or an original preset starting white list is updated.

In this embodiment, after the BIOS is restarted, the new preset startup whitelist is started, or a preset startup whitelist obtained by updating the original preset startup whitelist is started.
In this embodiment, the method for opening the watchdog function is different according to different server designs, and in this application, a watchdog mechanism is implemented by using CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device), and the watchdog timeout time defaults to 5min. And setting a watchdog enabling register provided by the CPLD to enable the OS Loader watchdog through the CPLD IIC channel. Further, in the case of using the OSloader watchdog of the ipmi (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) standard, an enable OS Loader watchdog command may be issued to the BMC by an ipmi instruction. As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 shows a logic relationship diagram of each unit in a method for opening a system boot watchdog according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, a BIOS changes data in a register based on a CPLD to control opening and closing of a watchdog function of an OS Loader, and based on an on-off state of the watchdog function, an OS Loader is used to boot an operating system, and in this process, the boot opening of the operating system may be performed in a state where the watchdog function is opened, or the boot opening of the operating system may be performed in a state where the watchdog function is closed.
In this embodiment, after the operating system boots to kernel init, it is determined that the operating system has normally turned on to call and close the OS loader watchdog function. According to the closing method, because different servers are designed to be different in closing method, a CPLD is used for realizing a watchdog mechanism, and a watchdog closing register provided by the CPLD is set to close an OSLoader watchdog through a CPLD IIC channel. In addition, in the case of using the OS Loader watchdog of the ipmi standard, an OS Loader watchdog closing command may be issued to the BMC by an ipmi instruction.
In this embodiment, when the UEFI BIOS is down during the booting process after booting the product system OS, the OS fails to run to the kernel init and then closes the OS Loader watchdog stage, and the OS Loader watchdog will timeout, at this time, the CPLD or the BMC will restart the system to recover.
According to the method for starting the system guide watchdog, the preset starting whitelist comprising three starting parameter types is designed, so that the screening of starting conditions of the OS Loader watchdog function is realized, the OS Loader watchdog function is ensured to be started only for a specific OS starting medium, specific starting medium slot position information and a specific operating system which is started to support the OS Loader watchdog function, the problem that no watchdog is cared in the OS guide starting stage is solved, and the problem that an operating system cannot be used due to the fact that other OS starts which are met in production, research and development and OS filling scenes do not support the OS Loader watchdog function is solved. The reliability and the usability of the server are improved, the production procedure of the production detection link is simplified, and the usability of the research and development stage and the client maintenance stage is improved.

After power-on, BIOS flash nvram (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) is read to obtain setup configuration, and when the flash nvram is empty, a default preset starting white list is updated to the flash nvram. Three identifiers of the OS loader are set to default to false by using a preset start-up white list in the flash nvram. Before the BIOS starts system booting, device Path of each PCIe Device is obtained by enumerating the PCIe devices, and then access is carried out on each PCIe Device based on the Device Path of each PCIe Device to obtain class id corresponding to each PCIe Device. The method comprises the steps that respective starting media of each PCIe Device can be determined according to respective class ids of the PCIe devices, meanwhile, respective starting media slot information of each PCIe Device can be determined according to Device paths of the PCIe devices, and a BIOS retrieves a storage Path of a starting item file when an operating system is started, wherein the storage Path is a starting Path. Polling to check whether the respective starting medium of each PCIe device has a target starting medium existing in a preset starting medium white list, and if not, maintaining the starting medium identifier of the OS loader as false; if so, the boot media identification of the OS loader is updated to true. Continuing to poll and check whether the respective starting medium slot information of each PCIe device has target starting medium slot information existing in a preset starting medium white list, and if not, maintaining the starting medium slot information identification of the OS loader as false; if so, the startup media slot information identification of the OSloader is updated to true. Checking whether a starting path exists in a preset starting medium white list, and if not, maintaining a starting path representation of the OS loader as false; if the logical state exists, the starting path identification of the OS loader is updated to true, finally, whether three representations of the OS loader are true or not is judged, if true, the BIOS starts the watchdog function when the OS loader is started, and if not true, the BIOS does not start the watchdog function when the OS loader is started.
