系统调用是os操作系统提供的服务,用户程序通过各种系统调用,来引用内核提供的各种服务,系统调用的执行让用户程序陷入内核,该陷入动作由swi软中断完成.
At91rm9200处理器对应的linux2.4.19内核系统调用对应的软中断定义如下:
#if defined(__thumb__) //thumb模式
#define __syscall(name) \
"push {r7}\n\t" \
"mov r7, #" __sys1(__NR_##name) "\n\t" \
"swi 0\n\t" \
"pop {r7}"
#else //arm模式
#define __syscall(name) "swi\t" __sys1(__NR_##name) "\n\t"
#endif
#define __sys2(x) #x
#define __sys1(x) __sys2(x)
#define __NR_SYSCALL_BASE 0x900000 //此为OS_NUMBER << 20运算值
#define __NR_open (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+ 5) //0x900005
举一个例子来说:open系统调用,库函数最终会调用__syscall(open),宏展开之后为swi #__NR_open,即,swi #0x900005触发中断,中断号0x900005存放在[lr,#-4]地址中,处理器跳转到arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S中vector_swi读取[lr,#-4]地址中的中断号,之后查询arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S中的sys_call_table系统调用表,该表内容在arch/arm/kernel/calls.S中定义,__NR_open在表中对应的顺序号为
__syscall_start:
...
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_open) //第5个
...
将sys_call_table[5]中内容传给pc,系统进入sys_open函数,处理实质的open动作
注:用到的一些函数数据所在文件,如下所示
arch/arm/kernel/calls.S声明了系统调用函数
include/asm-arm/unistd.h定义了系统调用的调用号规则
vector_swi定义在arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S
vector_IRQ定义在arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S
vector_FIQ定义在arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S中对sys_call_table进行了定义:
.type sys_call_table, #object
ENTRY(sys_call_table)
#include "calls.S" //将calls.S中的内容顺序链接到这里
源程序：
ENTRY(vector_swi)
save_user_regs
zero_fp
get_scno //将[lr,#-4]中的中断号转储到scno(r7)
