当进入linux内核后,arch/arm/kernel/head.S是内核最先执行的一个文件,包括从内核入口ENTRY(stext)到start_kernel之间的初始化代码,下面以我所使用的平台s3c2410为例,说明一下他的汇编代码:
1: __INIT
2: .type stext, %function
3: ENTRY(stext)
/* 程序状态,禁止FIQ、IRQ,设定SVC模式 */
4: msr cpsr_c, #PSR_F_BIT | PSR_I_BIT | MODE_SVC @ ensure svc mode
@ and irqs disabled
/* 判断CPU类型,查找运行的CPU ID值与Linux编译支持的ID值是否支持 */
5: bl __lookup_processor_type @ r5=procinfo r9=cpuid
6: movs r10, r5 @ invalid processor (r5=0)?
/* 判断如果r10的值为0,则表示函数执行错误,跳转到出错处理,*/
7: beq __error_p @ yes, error 'p'
/* 判断体系类型,查看R1寄存器的Architecture Type值是否支持 */
8: bl __lookup_machine_type @ r5=machinfo
9: movs r8, r5 @ invalid machine (r5=0)?
/* 判断如果r8的值为0,则表示函数执行错误,跳转到出错处理,*/
10: beq __error_a @ yes, error 'a'
/* 创建核心页表 */
11: bl __create_page_tables
12: ldr r13, __switch_data @ address to jump to after
@ mmu has been enabled
13: adr lr, __enable_mmu @ return (PIC) address
14: add pc, r10, #PROCINFO_INITFUNC
第4行,准备进入SVC工作模式,同时关闭中断(I_BIT)和快速中断(F_BIT)
第5行,查看处理器类型,主要是为了得到处理器的ID以及页表的flags。
第8行,查看一些体系结构的信息。
第11行,建立页表。
第14行,跳转到处理器的初始化函数,其函数地址是从__lookup_processor_type中得到的,需要注意的是第13行,当处理器初始化完成后,会直接跳转到__enable_mmu去执行,
这是由于初始化函数最后的语句是mov pc, lr。
函数__lookup_processor_type介绍:
内核中使用了一个结构struct proc_info_list,用来记录处理器相关的信息,该结构定义在
kernel/include/asm-arm/procinfo.h头文件中。
/*
* Note! struct processor is always defined if we're
* using MULTI_CPU, otherwise this entry is unused,
* but still exists.
*
* NOTE! The following structure is defined by assembly
* language, NOT C code. For more information, check:
* arch/arm/mm/proc-*.S and arch/arm/kernel/head.S
*/
struct proc_info_list {
unsigned int cpu_val;
unsigned int cpu_mask;
unsigned long __cpu_mmu_flags; /* used by head.S */
unsigned long __cpu_flush; /* used by head.S */
const char *arch_name;
const char *elf_name;
unsigned int elf_hwcap;
const char *cpu_name;
struct processor *proc;
struct cpu_tlb_fns *tlb;
struct cpu_user_fns *user;
struct cpu_cache_fns *cache;
};
在arch/arm/mm/proc-arm920.S文件中定义了所有和arm920有关的proc_info_list,我们使用的arm920定义如下:
.section ".proc.info.init", #alloc, #execinstr
.type __arm920_proc_info,#object
__arm920_proc_info:
.long 0x41009200
.long 0xff00fff0
.
.
由于.section指示符,上面定义的__arm920_proc_info信息在编译的时候被放到了.proc.info段中,这是由linux的链接脚本文件arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds指定的,参考如下:
SECTIONS
{
. = TEXTADDR;
.init : { /* Init code and data */
_stext = .;
_sinittext = .;
*(.init.text)
_einittext = .;
__proc_info_begin = .;
*(.proc.info.init)
__proc_info_end = .;
.
.
这里的符号__proc_info_begin指向.proc.info的起始地址,而符号__proc_info_end指向.proc.info的结束地址。后面就会引用这两个符号,来指向.proc.info这个段。
下面来来看看函数的源代码,为了分析方便将函数按行进行编号,其中17-18行就是前面提到的对.proc.info的引用,
第2行将19行的地址放到寄存器r3中,adr是小范围的地址读取伪指令。
第3行将r3所指向的数据区的数据读出到r5,r6,r9,执行结果是
R5=__proc_info_begin,r6=__proc_info_end,r9=第19行的地址
用仿真器查看:
r5=0xc0018664
r6=0xc0018694
r9=0xc0008324(为何是0xc0008324而不是0x30008324???)
第4行算出虚、实地址的偏移,
第5-6行的结果应该是r5指向__proc_info_begin的实地址,r6指向__proc_info_end的实地址。
第7行读取cpu的id,这是一个协处理器指令,将processor ID存储在r9中。
第8行将r5指向的__arm920_proc_info开始的数据读出放到寄存器r3,r4,结果r3=0x41009200 (cpu_val),r4=0xff00fff0 (cpu_mask)。
第9-10行将读出的id和结构中的id进行比较,如果id相同则返回,返回时r9存储
processor ID,如果id不匹配,则将指针r10增加PROC_INFO_SZ (proc_info_list结构的长度,在这等于48),如果r5小于r6指定的地址,也就是
__proc_info_end,则继续循环比较下一个proc_info_list中的id,如第11-14行的代码,如果查找到__proc_info_end,仍未找到一个匹配的id,则将r5清零并返回,如15-16行,也就是说如果函数执行成功则r5指向匹配的proc_info_list结构地址,如果函数返回错误则r5为0。
/*
* Read processor ID register (CP#15, CR0), and look up in the linker-built
* supported processor list. Note that we can't use the absolute addresses
* for the __proc_info lists since we aren't running with the MMU on

* calculate the offset.
*
* Returns:
* r3, r4, r6 corrupted
* r5 = proc_info pointer in physical address space
* r9 = cpuid

函数__lookup_architecture_type介绍:
每个机器(一般指的是某一个电路板)都有自己的特殊结构,如物理内存地址,物理I/O地址,显存起始地址等等,
这个结构为struct machine_desc,定义在asm-arm/mach/arch.h中:
struct machine_desc {
/*
* Note! The first five elements are used
* by assembler code in head-armv.S
*/
unsigned int nr; /* architecture number */
unsigned int phys_ram; /* start of physical ram */
unsigned int phys_io; /* start of physical io */
unsigned int io_pg_offst; /* byte offset for io
* page tabe entry */
const char *name; /* architecture name*/
unsigned long boot_params; /* tagged list */
unsigned int video_start; /* start of video RAM */
unsigned int video_end; /* end of video RAM */
unsigned int reserve_lp0 :1; /* never has lp0 */
unsigned int reserve_lp1 :1; /* never has lp1 */
unsigned int reserve_lp2 :1; /* never has lp2 */
unsigned int soft_reboot :1; /* soft reboot */
void (*fixup)(struct machine_desc *,
struct tag *, char **,
struct meminfo *);
void (*map_io)(void); /* IO mapping function */
void (*init_irq)(void);
struct sys_timer *timer; /* system tick timer */
void (*init_machine)(void);
};
这个结构一般都定义在(以arm平台为例)kernel\arch\arm\mach-xxx\xxx.c中,是用宏来定义的,以s3c2410的开发板为例:
定义在kernel\arch\arm\mach-s3c2410\mach-smdk2410.c文件中,如下所示:
MACHINE_START(SMDK2410, "SMDK2410") /* @TODO: request a new identifier and switch to SMDK2410 */
/* Maintainer: Jonas Dietsche */
.phys_ram = S3C2410_SDRAM_PA,
.phys_io = S3C2410_PA_UART,
.io_pg_offst = (((u32)S3C24XX_VA_UART) >> 18) & 0xfffc,
.boot_params = S3C2410_SDRAM_PA + 0x100,
.map_io = smdk2410_map_io,
.init_irq = smdk2410_init_irq,
.timer = &s3c24xx_timer,
MACHINE_END
这些宏也定义在kernel/include/asm-arm/mach/arch.h中,以MACHINE_START为例:
#define MACHINE_START(_type,_name) \
const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_##_type \
__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info.init"))) = { \
.nr = MACH_TYPE_##_type, \
.name = _name,
#define MACHINE_END \
};
展开之后结构的是:
__mach_desc_SMDK2410= {
.nr = MACH_TYPE_SMDK2410,
.name = "SMDK2410",
中间的1行__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info"))) = {说明将这个结构放到指定的段.arch.info中,这和前面的
.proc.info是一个意思,__attribute__((__section__的含义参考GNU手册。后面的宏都是类似的含义,这里就不再一一介绍。
下面开始说明源码:
第1行实现r3指向3b的地址,3b如__lookup_processor_type介绍的第19行,
第3行将r3所指向的数据区的数据读出到r4,r5,r6,执行结果是
R5= __arch_info_begin,r6= __arch_info_end,r4=第19行的地址
用仿真器查看:
R5= 0xc0018694
R6= 0xc00186cc
R4= 0xc0008324 (为何是0xc0008324而不是0x30008324???)
第4行算出虚、实地址的偏移,
第5-6行的结果应该是r5指向__arch_info_begin的实地址,r6指向__arch_info_end的实地址。
第7行读取__mach_desc_ SMDK2410结构中的nr参数到r3中,
第8行比较r3和r1中的机器编号是否相同,
r3中的nr值MACH_TYPE_SMDK2410定义在kernel\include\asm-arm\mach-types.h中:
#define MACH_TYPE_SMDK2410 193
r1中的值是由bootloader传递过来的,这在<>中有说明,如果机器编号相同,跳到14行返回。如果不同则将地址指针增加,在跳到7行继续查找,见10--12行的代码,如果检索完所有的machine_desc仍然没有找到则将r5清零并返回。

函数__create_page_tables介绍:
假设内核起始物理地址是0x30008000,虚拟地址是0xC0008000,下面的代码是建立内核起始处4MB空间的映射,
采用了一级映射方式,即段式(section)映射方式,每段映射范围为1MB空间。于是需要建立4个表项,实现:
虚拟地址0xC0000000~0xC0300000,映射到物理地址0x30000000~0x30300000。
