linux内核bzImage产生的过程

1. vmlinux.o:

ld arch/x86/kernel +  各目录的build-in.o

(ld -m elf_x86_64 -r -o vmlinux.o                                                                  arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o arch/x86/kernel/head64.o arch/x86/kernel/head.o arch/x86/kernel/init_task.o  init/built-in.o --start-group  usr/built-in.o  arch/x86/built-in.o  kernel/built-in.o  mm/built-in.o  fs/built-in.o  ipc/built-in.o  security/built-in.o  crypto/built-in.o  block/built-in.o  lib/lib.a  arch/x86/lib/lib.a  lib/built-in.o  arch/x86/lib/built-in.o  drivers/built-in.o  sound/built-in.o  firmware/built-in.o  arch/x86/pci/built-in.o  arch/x86/power/built-in.o  arch/x86/video/built-in.o  net/built-in.o --end-group

scripts/mod/modpost   -o Module.symvers    -S  -c vmlinux.o
即
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o

)
 2.vmlinux：

ld -T arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/x86/kernel +  各目录的build-in.o

(ld -m elf_x86_64 --build-id -o vmlinux -T arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o arch/x86/kernel/head64.o arch/x86/kernel/head.o arch/x86/kernel/init_task.o  init/built-in.o --start-group  usr/built-in.o  arch/x86/built-in.o  kernel/built-in.o  mm/built-in.o  fs/built-in.o  ipc/built-in.o  security/built-in.o  crypto/built-in.o  block/built-in.o  lib/lib.a  arch/x86/lib/lib.a  lib/built-in.o  arch/x86/lib/built-in.o  drivers/built-in.o  sound/built-in.o  firmware/built-in.o  arch/x86/pci/built-in.o  arch/x86/power/built-in.o  arch/x86/video/built-in.o  net/built-in.o --end-group.tmp_kallsyms2.o)

3. arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin

objcopy  -R .comment -S vmlinux arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin

4. arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz

cat arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin | gzip -n -f -9 > arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz

5. arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.[So]

arch/x86/boot/compressed/mkpiggy arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz > arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.S

gcc  -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.S

(gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/boot/compressed/.piggy.o.d  -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include -Iarch/x86/include -Iarch/x86/include/generated -Iinclude  -Iinclude -include include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__ -m64 -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING -mcmodel=small -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -D__ASSEMBLY__   -c -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.S)

6. arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux: 经过压缩且含有自解压缩代码

ld -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds arch/x86/boot/compressed/ +  piggy.o

(ld -m elf_x86_64   -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/cmdline.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/early_serial_console.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.o -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux )

7. arch/x86/boot/setup.elf | setup.bin
ld -o arch/x86/boot/setup.elf arch/x86/boot/*.o

 (ld -m elf_x86_64   -T arch/x86/boot/setup.ld arch/x86/boot/a20.o arch/x86/boot/bioscall.o arch/x86/boot/cmdline.o arch/x86/boot/copy.o arch/x86/boot/cpu.o arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.o arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.o arch/x86/boot/edd.o arch/x86/boot/header.o arch/x86/boot/main.o arch/x86/boot/mca.o arch/x86/boot/memory.o arch/x86/boot/pm.o arch/x86/boot/pmjump.o arch/x86/boot/printf.o arch/x86/boot/regs.o arch/x86/boot/string.o arch/x86/boot/tty.o arch/x86/boot/video.o arch/x86/boot/video-mode.o arch/x86/boot/version.o arch/x86/boot/video-vga.o arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.o arch/x86/boot/video-bios.o -o arch/x86/boot/setup.elf)

  objcopy  -O binary arch/x86/boot/setup.elf arch/x86/boot/setup.bin

8. arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin
  objcopy  -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin

9. arch/x86/boot/bzImage
  arch/x86/boot/tools/build arch/x86/boot/setup.bin arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin > arch/x86/boot/bzImage
