嵌入式Linux2.6內(nèi)核啟動(dòng)流程蒼松書(shū)屋

1、linux內(nèi)核構(gòu)成(國(guó)嵌)linux/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.s1解壓縮2初始化3啟動(dòng)應(yīng)用程序1 arch/arm/boot/compressed/makefile arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds2. arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.ldslinux內(nèi)核啟動(dòng)流程（國(guó)嵌）arch/arm/boot/compressed/start.s（head.s負(fù)責(zé)解壓縮）start: .type start,#function .rept 8 mov r0, r0 .endr b 1f .word 0x016f28

2、18 magic numbers to help the loader .word start absolute load/run zimage address .word _edata zimage end address1: mov r7, r1 save architecture id mov r8, r2 save atags pointer這也標(biāo)志著u-boot將系統(tǒng)完全的交給了os，bootloader生命終止。之后代碼在133行會(huì)讀取cpsr并判斷是否處理器處于supervisor模式從u-boot進(jìn)入kernel，系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)處于svc32模式；而利用angel進(jìn)入則處于user模

3、式，還需要額外兩條指令。之后是再次確認(rèn)中斷關(guān)閉，并完成cpsr寫(xiě)入 mrs r2, cpsr get current mode tst r2, #3 not user? bne not_angel mov r0, #0x17 angel_swireason_entersvc swi 0x123456 angel_swi_armnot_angel: mrs r2, cpsr turn off interrupts to orr r2, r2, #0xc0 prevent angel from running msr cpsr_c, r2 然后在lc0地址處將分段信息導(dǎo)入r0-r6、ip、sp等寄

4、存器，并檢查代碼是否運(yùn)行在與鏈接時(shí)相同的目標(biāo)地址，以決定是否進(jìn)行處理。由于現(xiàn)在很少有人不使用loader和tags，將zimage燒寫(xiě)到rom直接從0x0位置執(zhí)行，所以這個(gè)處理是必須的（但是zimage的頭現(xiàn)在也保留了不用loader也可啟動(dòng)的能力）。arm架構(gòu)下自解壓頭一般是鏈接在0x0地址而被加載到0x30008000運(yùn)行，所以要修正這個(gè)變化。涉及到r5寄存器存放的zimage基地址 r6和r12（即ip寄存器）存放的got（global offset table） r2和r3存放的bss段起止地址 sp棧指針地址 很簡(jiǎn)單，這些寄存器統(tǒng)統(tǒng)被加上一個(gè)你也能猜到的偏移地址 0x30008000

5、。該地址是s3c2410相關(guān)的，其他的arm處理器可以參考下表pxa2xx是0xa0008000 ixp2x00和ixp4xx是0x00008000 freescale i.mx31/37是0x80008000 ti davinci dm64xx是0x80008000 ti omap系列是0x80008000 at91rm/sam92xx系列是0x20008000 cirrus ep93xx是0x00008000 這些操作發(fā)生在代碼172行開(kāi)始的地方，下面只粘貼一部分 add r5, r5, r0 add r6, r6, r0 add ip, ip, r0后面在211行進(jìn)行bss段的清零工作n

6、ot_relocated: mov r0, #01: str r0, r2, #4 clear bss str r0, r2, #4 str r0, r2, #4 str r0, r2, #4 cmp r2, r3 blo 1b 然后224行，打開(kāi)cache，并為后面解壓縮設(shè)置64kb的臨時(shí)malloc空間 bl cache_on mov r1, sp malloc space above stack add r2, sp, #0x10000 64k max 接下來(lái)238行進(jìn)行檢查，確定內(nèi)核解壓縮后的image目標(biāo)地址是否會(huì)覆蓋到zimage頭，如果是則準(zhǔn)備將zimage頭轉(zhuǎn)移到解壓出來(lái)的內(nèi)核

7、后面 cmp r4, r2 bhs wont_overwrite sub r3, sp, r5 > compressed kernel size add r0, r4, r3, lsl #2 allow for 4x expansion cmp r0, r5 bls wont_overwrite mov r5, r2 decompress after malloc space mov r0, r5 mov r3, r7 bl decompress_kernel真實(shí)情況在大多數(shù)的應(yīng)用中，內(nèi)核編譯都會(huì)把壓縮的zimage和非壓縮的image鏈接到同樣的地址，s3c2410平臺(tái)下即是0x300

8、08000。這樣做的好處是，人們不用關(guān)心內(nèi)核是image還是zimage，放到這個(gè)位置執(zhí)行就ok，所以在解壓縮后zimage頭必須為真正的內(nèi)核讓路。在250行解壓完畢，內(nèi)核長(zhǎng)度返回值存放在r0寄存器里。在內(nèi)核末尾空出128字節(jié)的?？臻g用，并且使其長(zhǎng)度128字節(jié)對(duì)齊。 add r0, r0, #127 + 128 alignment + stack bic r0, r0, #127 align the kernel length算出搬移代碼的參數(shù)：計(jì)算內(nèi)核末尾地址并存放于r1寄存器，需要搬移代碼原來(lái)地址放在r2，需要搬移的長(zhǎng)度放在r3。然后執(zhí)行搬移，并設(shè)置好sp指針指向新的棧（原來(lái)的棧也會(huì)被內(nèi)核

10、地址繼續(xù)執(zhí)行 bl cache_clean_flush add pc, r5, r0 call relocation code注意zimage在解壓后的搬移和跳轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)給gdb調(diào)試內(nèi)核帶來(lái)麻煩。因?yàn)橛脕?lái)調(diào)試的符號(hào)表是在編譯是生成的，并不知道以后會(huì)被搬移到何處去，只有在內(nèi)核解壓縮完成之后，根據(jù)計(jì)算出來(lái)的參數(shù)“告訴”調(diào)試器這個(gè)變化。以撰寫(xiě)本文時(shí)使用的zimage為例，內(nèi)核自解壓頭重定向后，reloc_start地址由0x30008360變?yōu)?x30533e60。故我們要把vmlinux的符號(hào)表也相應(yīng)的從0x30008000后移到0x30533b00開(kāi)始，這樣gdb就可以正確的對(duì)應(yīng)源代碼和機(jī)器指令。隨著

11、頭部代碼移動(dòng)到新的位置，不會(huì)再和內(nèi)核的目標(biāo)地址沖突，可以開(kāi)始內(nèi)核自身的搬移了。此時(shí)r0寄存器存放的是內(nèi)核長(zhǎng)度（嚴(yán)格的說(shuō)是長(zhǎng)度外加128byte的棧），r4存放的是內(nèi)核的目的地址0x30008000，r5是目前內(nèi)核存放地址，r6是cpu id，r7是machine id，r8是atags地址。代碼從501行開(kāi)始reloc_start: add r9, r5, r0 sub r9, r9, #128 do not copy the stack debug_reloc_start mov r1, r41: .rept 4 ldmia r5!, r0, r2, r3, r10 - r14 reloca
