核心游记之 lock_kernel

start_kernel 开始后的第一个C 函数．

include/linux/smp_lock.h中有宏定义：

 

#ifdef CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL

#define kernel_locked()        (current->lock_depth >= 0)

 

extern void __lockfunc lock_kernel(void)    __acquires(kernel_lock);
extern void __lockfunc unlock_kernel(void)    __releases(kernel_lock);

#else

#define lock_kernel()                do { } while(0)
#define unlock_kernel()                do { } while(0)
#define release_kernel_lock(task)        do { } while(0)
#define reacquire_kernel_lock(task)        0
#define kernel_locked()                1

#endif /* CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL */

 

lock_kernel 的真实身份还需要CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL  确定．

内核使用了arch/arm/configs/s3c2410_defconfig作为默认的配置文件，Code maturity level options 选项下没有设置

CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL  项．所以在这里lock_kernel应该就是do { } while(0) 的空操作．

搞清楚了，但还是要看一下CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL  定义的情况下lock_kernel的情况：lib/kernel_lock.c中有定义

也是要根据宏的定义具体判断使用哪个实现．

CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL 判断使用'big kernel semaphore还是'big kernel lock；

即使使用 'big kernel lock CONFIG_PREEMPT（竞态） 宏不同lock_kernel实现也不同；

 

2410这种单处理器不会有多个cpu竞争的情况，所以不需要大内核锁／信号量来解决资源竞争问题．．．
