1、AXFS Advanced XIP Filing SystemJared Hulbert Numonyx April 15, 2008,Agenda,Goal/History Features Architecture Test Results Kernel Integration,Project Goals,Supportable solution for application XIP Fine grained control on compression Flexible use of all system memories NOR, NAND, RAM,What is Applicat

2、ion XIP?,eXecute In Place of userspace code Run code from where it is stored on Flash Saves memory No paging = higher performance “I thought the kernel supported XIP?” Yes, for ext2 with specialized hardware Yes, for kernel code segments (xipImage),Why a New Filesystem?,CRAMFS XIP patches used to wo

3、rk BUT. 9 years old and havent been merged? patches broke, real bad, every year File level compression choice SquashFS? New, better compression BUT Block device oriented architecture Didnt see how to fit new concepts into arch,Features,Onmedia Format,Region Descriptor,Super Block,File Info,XIP Regio

4、n,Region Descriptor,Compressed Region,Region Descriptor,Superblock Points to many region descriptor Region Descriptor Describes / points to one region Regions Each data type / table has own region permissions, file names, file node info, file data, etc.,Data Flow,Application Virtual Pages,Node Index
