linux显示git commit id，同时解决insmod模块时版本不一致导致无法加载问题

　　linux内核默认会包含git的commit ID。

　　而linux的内核在insmod模块时，会对模块和内核本身的版本做严格的校验。在开发产品时，改动内核后，由于commit ID变更，会导致linux内核变更，之前已编译发布的模块与升级后的linux版本不一致，必须重新编译，非常麻烦。

为了解决这个问题，很多开发者通过配置make menuconfig，去掉CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO选项，从而不再包含git commit ID。

　　关于linux包含git commit的实现原理，可以参考博文：

　　转： linux内核版本本地版本号的检查——setlocalversion

　　http://www.cnblogs.com/liuwanpeng/p/6148572.html

　　但是git的commit ID对于版本追溯又很有帮助，能够帮助我们追溯到特定的内核版本，本文通过以下方法，把git

 commit ID包含到内核中，但是不属于内核版本的一部分，从而解决上述问题。

　　1.make menuconfig，去掉CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO选项，不自动包含git commit ID

　　2. 修改 /scripts/setlocalverison脚本，把git commit ID导出到一个单独的文件，命名为git_ver.h

echo "/*" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo "* auto generate. Don't edit!" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo "*/" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo "#ifndef __GIT_VERSION_H__" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo "#define __GIT_VERSION_H__" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo  >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH

echo  >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH
echo "#endif" >> $GIT_VER_INC_PATH

echo "$res"

上述代码红色部分是修改的地方，编译linux内核以后，自动生成的git_ver.h如下：

/*
* auto generate. Don't edit!
*/
#ifndef __GIT_VERSION_H__

#define __GIT_VERSION_H__

#define GIT_COMMIT_ID_STR    "afb275c" 　　　// 可以通过git show afb275c，方便的查询这个版本的log

#endif

　　

3. 从git_ver.h中获取git commit ID，并打印，且存放到到 /proc/version文件系统中

linux启动时，start_kernel()函数会打印版本号

init/main.c:

asmlinkage void __init start_kernel(void)
{
    ......
    boot_cpu_init();
    page_address_init();
    pr_notice("%s", linux_banner);
        ......
}

linux_banner的定义：

init/version.c:

/* FIXED STRINGS! Don't touch! */
const char linux_banner[] =
    "Linux version " UTS_RELEASE " (" LINUX_COMPILE_BY "@"
    LINUX_COMPILE_HOST ") (" LINUX_COMPILER ") " UTS_VERSION "\nGit commit id: " GIT_COMMIT_ID_STR "\n";　　// 再次全局变量中增加git commit ID用于显示

const char linux_proc_banner[] =　
    "%s version %s"
    " (" LINUX_COMPILE_BY "@" LINUX_COMPILE_HOST ")"
    " (" LINUX_COMPILER ") %s\n""Git commit id: " GIT_COMMIT_ID_STR"\n";

除了初始化打印，/proc/version文件系统中也提供版本相关的信息，正好用到linux_proc_banner变量，也添加上git commit ID

fs/proc/version.c:

#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/proc_fs.h>
#include <linux/seq_file.h>
#include <linux/utsname.h>

static int version_proc_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v)
{
    seq_printf(m, linux_proc_banner,
        utsname()->sysname,
        utsname()->release,
        utsname()->version);
    return ;
}

static int version_proc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
    return single_open(file, version_proc_show, NULL);
}

static const struct file_operations version_proc_fops = {
    .open        = version_proc_open,
    .read        = seq_read,
    .llseek        = seq_lseek,
    .release    = single_release,
};

static int __init proc_version_init(void)
{
    proc_create("version", , NULL, &version_proc_fops);
    return ;
}
fs_initcall(proc_version_init);
