MACHINE_START宏

举例说明:

MACHINE_START(AM335XEVM, "am335xevm")
	/* Maintainer: Texas Instruments */
	.atag_offset	= 0x100,
	.map_io		= am335x_evm_map_io,
	.init_early	= am33xx_init_early,
	.init_irq	= ti81xx_init_irq,
	.handle_irq     = omap3_intc_handle_irq,
	.timer		= &omap3_am33xx_timer,
	.init_machine	= am335x_evm_init,
MACHINE_END

宏展开以后:

#define MACH_TYPE_AM335XEVM            3589
static const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_AM335XEVM	\
 __used							\
 __attribute__((__section__(".arch.info.init"))) = {	\
	.nr		= MACH_TYPE_AM335XEVM,		\// architecture number	
	.name		= "am335xevm", // architecture name
	.atag_offset	= 0x100,  // tagged list (relative)
	.map_io		= am335x_evm_map_io,//IO mapping function
	.init_early	= am33xx_init_early,
	.init_irq	= ti81xx_init_irq,
	.handle_irq     = omap3_intc_handle_irq,
	.timer		= &omap3_am33xx_timer, //system tick timer
	.init_machine	= am335x_evm_init,
				\
};

该结构体里定义的函数执行循序如下:
start_kernel()->setup_arch()->paging_init()->devicemaps_init()->map_io()

start_kernel()->setup_arch()->init_early()

start_kernel()->init_IRQ()->init_irq()

start_kernel()->time_init()->system_timer->init();

arch_initcall(customize_machine);
customize_machine()->init_machine()

其中arch_initcall(customize_machine);等效于

	static int(*__initcall_customize_machine3)(void) __used \
	__attribute__((__section__(".initcall3.init"))) = customize_machine

关于.initcall3.init段的说明参考这里initcall机制
