项目名称/Project Title

D-Bus: 支持热升级 Support upgrading the existing D-Bus daemon without reboot

项目描述/Project Description

D-Bus 是一个用于进程间通信的轻量级的消息总线系统，其官网链接：https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/ D-Bus 除了应用于桌面环境，现在也应用于服务器环境中。服务器作为信息时代的基石，需要 7*24 小时不间断运行，D-Bus 作为 systemd 的一个服务，也需要能够长期稳定运行。但是目前 D-Bus 不支持热升级，即升级 D-Bus 软件包之后，需要重启服务器。社区在这方面也有一些讨论： https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805449 本项目计划添加对 D-Bus 热升级的支持。

D-Bus is a lightweight message bus system for inter-process communication, and its official website link: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/ D-Bus is used not only in the desktop environment, but also in the server environment. As the cornerstone of the information age, the server needs 7 * 24 hours of uninterrupted operation. As a service of systemd, D-Bus also needs to be able to run stably for a long time. However, after upgrading the D-Bus software package, we need to restart the server. The community also has some discussions: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805449 This project plans to support upgrading the existing D-Bus daemon without reboot.

预期成果/Expected Outcomes

D-Bus支持热升级之后，修复 D-Bus 的 CVE 漏洞或者 BUG 后，不用重启系统，有助于 Alibaba Cloud Linux 2 成为运行时间最长、最稳定的系统。

After supporting the upgrade of the existing dbus daemon without reboot, we can fix some D-Bus cve vulnerabilities or bugs online, which will help Alibaba Cloud Linux 2 become the longest running and most stable system.

需要的技能/Required Skills

• 熟悉 C/C++ 语言编程
• D-Bus 的背景知识

• Familiar with C
• D-Bus related background knowledge

Hello sir,

I am Ronnie Gandhi, a Computer Science undergraduate student from IIT Roorkee enrolled in my pre-final year.

I am interested in working on this project. I had the chance to learn DBus(IPC) and its associated fundamentals and Linux in general as an academic curriculum. Also, I have been using C/C++ for 3 years now, my GSoC'19 also was purely C/C++ based.

A brief introduction about me, I have interned at Microsoft, Hyderabad in 2019 and I am currently interning there(remotely) as well in 2020 also I have done GSoC2019 under CGAL. I am really enthusiastic about contributing to the open-source community.

Hello sir, I am a sophomore from BUPT. I did many course projects/exercise with C/C++. But not familiar with operating system and new to open source. I have a strong desire to join in ASoC, so could you guide me to go further, or just advise me to learn more things and prepare for the next year?

me too....
