Intengiso kaGoogle esebenzayo Ukuqinisekisa ukuba inkqubo yakho yokusebenza yeselfowuni (Android) isekwe kwiinguqulelo eziqhelekileyo zelinux kernel, Oku kwaxelwa yinkampani ngexesha Inkcazo yenkqubela phambili yabo kwi Ushicilelo luka-2019 lweLinux Plumbers Inkomfa (LPC). Apho ku Ndiyathetha ukuba imalunga nokwenza utshintsho kumjikelo wobomi yenguqulo yenkqubo yokusebenza ye-Android.
Uninzi lwenu kufuneka lukwazi oko I-Android isebenzisa ikernel yeLinux, kodwa ayisiyiyo nayiphi na inguqulelo leyo iqhele ukusetyenziswa yiLinux distros. Ukuba akukhange kubenjalo, iyagqitha kwiinkqubo zangaphambili ukubandakanywa kumaqela ahlukeneyo.
Oku kuqala kwinguqulelo yeLTS yeLinux kernelIqela le I-Android iyapapasha uhlaziyo lwenkqubo yokusebenza ebizwa IKernel eqhelekileyo ye-Android. Abenzi bechip (IQualcomm, iSamsung Exynos, njl. yenza uhlengahlengiso lokuqala Ezokugqibela ukuziqhelanisa neetshipsi eziza kuxhobisa izixhobo.
Inguqulelo eguqulweyo ngabenzi be chip yenziwa ifumaneke kubavelisi bezixhobo njenge-Samsung, i-LG, i-HTC, njl. abo bathi, benze ulwenziwo ukulunga izixhobo zakho.
Inkqubo inde kwaye iyadinisa kwaye ineziphumo ezininzi: ukwahlulwa kwe-ecosystem ye-Android, ukulibaziseka ekuphunyezweni kweenguqulelo ezintsha zenkqubo yokusebenza kunye nohlaziyo lokhuseleko.
Ujongene nale ngxaki, uGoogle waqala ukusebenza ekuphuculeni inkqubo kwaye ngexesha lonyaka ophelileyo lwenkomfa yeLinux Plumbers, Amaqela eGoogle aqala ukwabelana ngendlela emayilandelwe ukoyisa iingxaki ezibangelwa ngumjikelo wobomi wangoku wenguqulo yenkqubo yokusebenza.
Lo nyaka, kwintetho phantse yeeyure ezi-4, bahambile ngokweenkcukacha. Isisombululo esibonelelwa nguGoogle: yi-ABI ezinzileyo yeenkozo ze-Android.
KwiNgqungquthela yeLinux Plumbers ye2019, iqela likaGoogle laqhubeka ukubonisa uyilo oluthile lwe-Android olwakha kwiziseko ezisekwe yiprojekthi yeTrble.
Ngokubanzi, iyahambelana UGoogle uphakamisa umfanekiso oqhelekileyo wekernel (GKI) Ikhatshwa ziimodyuli zekernel generic. UGoogle ulindele ukuba le phakheji ibonise i-ABI ezinzileyo kunye ne-API.
Abalawuli abazinikeleyo kulwakhiwo oluthile lwezixhobo zilayishwe njengeemodyuli zekernel. Ngokweqela likaGoogle, intshukumo kufuneka, ngokwenza ukumodareyitha, ukunciphisa okanye ukuphelisa ukwahlulwa kwendalo.
Nangona ikhankanya uzinzo kujolise kuphela kwiinguqulelo zekernel ezinenkxaso yexesha elide (LTS). Amasebe amabini akhankanyiwe koku: 4.19.x kunye 5.xy.
Esi sicelo sikaGoogle asikabikho.a, kuba, ngokoluvo lweenjineli zikaGoogle, indlela eya phambili isabonakala. Nangona kunjalo, indlela yenkampani ayinakuphikisana.
Ngapha koko, enye yeendawo ezihlala uluntu lweLinux ezijikeleze i-vanilla kernels kukubonelela nge-ABI engazinzanga. I-maneuver ivumela abavelisi bezixhobo ukuba bavule abalawuli babo bezinto kwaye bazidibanise kumasebe aphambili ophuhliso.
Ngokukhetha ukubonelela nge-ABI ezinzileyo, uGoogle usenza buthathaka esi sixhobo. Esi sikhundla sinesibonelelo esinye ubuncinci kwii-OEMs kunye nabanye: ikhowudi yemvelaphi kubaqhubi babo inokuhlala ivaliwe. Kodwa Iziphene zikwakhona: akunakwenzeka ukuba uphucule ukusuka kuhlobo olunye lwe-kernel yeLinux ukuya kwenye, kuba Inye kuphela i-LTS exhasa indlela kaGoogle.
Ngayiphi na imeko, kukho uhlobo lomlo otshisa kancinci. Ngapha koko, abagcini bevanilla kernel bayacaca ukuba abazixhasi iziseko zekhowudi ngaphandle kwamasebe azinikeleyo.
UGoogle ngenxalenye yakhe uphoswa kwindlela eyahlukileyo njengoko ebona ngendlela enika inkxaso yezobuchwephesha kubavelisi abaya kukhawuleza kule sithuba. Ngapha koko, umbuzo ngulo wokuba ingaba uGoogle angadibanisa izixhobo eziyimfuneko kulo msebenzi ukuze akhuphisane kwisikali seprojekthi yeLinux.
