early_param分析

以cma的early_param分析下early_param这个宏。

drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c定义了

static int __init early_cma(char *p)
{
    pr_debug("%s(%s)\n", __func__, p);
    size_cmdline = memparse(p, &p);
    return 0;
}
early_param("cma", early_cma);

early_param是一个宏：

/* NOTE: fn is as per module_param, not __setup!  Emits warning if fn
* returns non-zero. */
#define early_param(str, fn)                                    \
        __setup_param(str, fn, fn, 1)

•  

/*
* Only for really core code.  See moduleparam.h for the normal way.
*
* Force the alignment so the compiler doesn't space elements of the
* obs_kernel_param "array" too far apart in .init.setup.
*/
#define __setup_param(str, unique_id, fn, early)                        \
        static const char __setup_str_##unique_id[] __initconst \
                __aligned(1) = str; \
        static struct obs_kernel_param __setup_##unique_id      \
                __used __section(.init.setup)                   \
                __attribute__((aligned((sizeof(long)))))        \
                = { __setup_str_##unique_id, fn, early }

•  

展开后:

struct obs_kernel_param  __setup_early_cma
          __used __section(.init.setup)  
          __attribute__((aligned((sizeof(long))))) 
          = { "cma", early_cma, 1}

•  

include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +628 定义了

#define INIT_SETUP(initsetup_align)                                     \
                . = ALIGN(initsetup_align);                             \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__setup_start) = .;                      \
                *(.init.setup)                                          \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__setup_end) = .;

.init.setup段的开始和结束分别用__setup_start和__setup_end表示。
Kernel中有很多类似的声明，这些结构体变量被保存在 .init.setup段中。
Kernel初始化时
Start_kernel—-> parse_early_param—->parse_early_options—-> do_early_param

该函数会遍历 __setup_start和 __setup_end之间的所有结构体，然后将 cmdline中的各个参数与字符串 ”cma”比较，如果匹配，那么调用 early_cma函数。
