Kitsune：一个高效通用的动态软件升级的C语言框架

这个框架保证不关闭程序连接和改变状态的情况下进行软件更新，并且没有额外的性能代价。已在Snort, Tor, Redis, Memcached, Icecast和vsftpd等多个开源软件下进行了验证。一般升级是双进程模式，一个单独更新进程重启主程，这个是自身保存堆栈和连接状态进行升级。
Getting Started --------------- 1. Build the Kitsune runtime and compiler/transformation generator: (in Kitsune root directory) make 2. Build tests in the test/* directories. Most of these tests manually initiate an update by calling kitsune_signal_update() rather than having the user manually initiating the update. 3. Manually initiating an update normally works as follows: Starting the initial version: (kitsune root)/bin/driver (version 0).so (args) To update that process, run: (kitsune root)/bin/doupd (vN PID) (version N+1).so Currently, the runtime prints the pid of the running process to stdout, which can be used in the call to doupd. (Note that multiple calls to doupd may be needed for programs that fork, like vsftpd.) If Kitsune was built for benchmarking, then a benchmarking result filename is expected by driver between the shared library and its arguments. [We plan to streamline this later.] 4. Building and updating redis (as an example): (build kitsune with threading) cd examples/redis make - builds versions of redis from 2.0.0 -> 2.0.4 ../../bin/driver redis-2.0.0/redis-server.so - starts the redis server under kitsune (in another terminal) ../../bin/doupd PID redis-2.0.1/redis-server.so - you can get PID from the original terminal or just use `pidof driver` in place of PID in this line (assuming you aren't running other things under Kitsune simultaneously) When a program is updated with Kitsune, it generates a log file that can be found in /tmp/ekiden/PROG.PID (where PROG is the program name and PID is its pid). 5. Learning Kitsune: currently the tests/ are the best way to see how the kitsune tools work. Overview of the Kitsune Repository ---------------------------------- src/ - contains the Kitsune runtime source code tools/ - contains the Kitsune compiler and transformation generator tools/ocaml-src/ - Kitsune specific code tools/ocaml-src/cil - Kitsune code linked with cil for compilation tools/ocaml-src/tools - xfgen-related code tools/ocaml-src/common - code shared between the compiler and xfgen bin/ - contains the externally used Kitsune header files and the compiled library tests/ - a variety of tests ensuring correct behavior in the runtime library and compilation tools. These tests provide a good way to see how the parts of the system work together, and the compilation process for updating.
