kernel/sysctl.c

查看/proc/sys目录下有哪些内容：

/proc/sys # ls
debug   dev     fs      kernel  net     vm

/proc/sys目录下的内容对应着下面这个sysctl_base_table数组中的procname，sysctl_base_table数组是在sysctl_init函数中通过register_sysctl_table注册的。

static struct ctl_table sysctl_base_table[] = {
        {    
                .procname       = "kernel",
                .mode           = 0555,
                .child          = kern_table,
        },   
        {    
                .procname       = "vm",
                .mode           = 0555,
                .child          = vm_table,
        },   
        {    
                .procname       = "fs",
                .mode           = 0555,
                .child          = fs_table,
        },   
        {    
                .procname       = "debug",
                .mode           = 0555,
                .child          = debug_table,
        },   
        {    
                .procname       = "dev",
                .mode           = 0555,
                .child          = dev_table,
        },   
        { }  
};

然后进入/proc/sys/的每个子目录下，比如进入/proc/sys/vm目录，查看此目录下有哪些内容：

/proc/sys/vm # ls
admin_reserve_kbytes       laptop_mode                overcommit_memory
block_dump                 legacy_va_layout           overcommit_ratio
dirty_background_bytes     lowmem_reserve_ratio       page-cluster
dirty_background_ratio     max_map_count              panic_on_oom
dirty_bytes                min_free_kbytes            percpu_pagelist_fraction
dirty_expire_centisecs     mmap_min_addr              scan_unevictable_pages
dirty_ratio                nr_pdflush_threads         swappiness
dirty_writeback_centisecs  oom_dump_tasks             user_reserve_kbytes
drop_caches                oom_kill_allocating_task   vfs_cache_pressure

对应着进入到sysctl_base_table元素中的.child，这里.child = vm_table，ls的这些内容又和vm_table中的procname对应。proc_handler是这些目录的操作函数。

static struct ctl_table vm_table[] = {
        {
                .procname       = "overcommit_memory",
                .data           = &sysctl_overcommit_memory,
                .maxlen         = sizeof(sysctl_overcommit_memory),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .proc_handler   = proc_dointvec_minmax,
                .extra1         = &zero,
                .extra2         = &two,
        },
        {
                .procname       = "panic_on_oom",
                .data           = &sysctl_panic_on_oom,
                .maxlen         = sizeof(sysctl_panic_on_oom),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .proc_handler   = proc_dointvec_minmax,
                .extra1         = &zero,
                .extra2         = &two,
        },
        {
                .procname       = "oom_kill_allocating_task",
                .data           = &sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task,
                .maxlen         = sizeof(sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .proc_handler   = proc_dointvec,
        },
        {
                .procname       = "oom_dump_tasks",
                .data           = &sysctl_oom_dump_tasks,
                .maxlen         = sizeof(sysctl_oom_dump_tasks),
                .mode           = 0644,
                .proc_handler   = proc_dointvec,
        },
...
