x210:uboot和系统移植扩展--内核启动之解压缩阶段

zImage的生成过程

• 依据arch/arm/boot/vmlinux.lds.S生成arch/arm/boot/vmlinux.lds

#arch/arm/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.cmd
cmd_arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds := /usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -E -Wp,-MD,arch/arm/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.d  -nostdinc -isystem /usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.4.1/include -I/home/tianchengxin/my/x210-朱老师/kernel/x210_kernal/kernel/arch/arm/include -Iinclude  -include include/generated/autoconf.h -D__KERNEL__ -mlittle-endian -Iarch/arm/mach-s5pv210/include -Iarch/arm/plat-s5p/include -Iarch/arm/plat-samsung/include   -DTEXT_OFFSET=0x00008000 -P -C -Uarm -D__ASSEMBLY__ -DLINKER_SCRIPT -o arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

• 依据arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.in等生成arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds

#arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
$(obj)/vmlinux.lds: $(obj)/vmlinux.lds.in arch/arm/boot/Makefile .config
        @sed "$(SEDFLAGS)" < $< > $@

• 依据arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds 生成linux内核源码根目录下的vmlinux，这个vmlinux属于未压缩，带调试信息、符号表的最初的内核，大小约78MB；

vmlinux-lds  := arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/vmlinux.lds
vmlinux: $(vmlinux-lds) $(vmlinux-init) $(vmlinux-main) vmlinux.o $(kallsyms.o) FORCE
        $(call vmlinux-modpost)
        $(call if_changed_rule,vmlinux__)
        $(Q)rm -f .old_version

/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld -EL  -p --no-undefined -X --build-id -o vmlinux -T arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/arm/kernel/head.o arch/arm/kernel/init_task.o  init/built-in.o --start-group  usr/built-in.o  arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o  arch/arm/mm/built-in.o  arch/arm/common/built-in.o  arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/built-in.o  arch/arm/plat-s5p/built-in.o  arch/arm/plat-samsung/built-in.o  arch/arm/vfp/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  arch/arm/lib/lib.a  lib/lib.a  arch/arm/lib/built-in.o  lib/built-in.o  drivers/built-in.o  sound/built-in.o  firmware/built-in.o  net/built-in.o --end-group .tmp_kallsyms2.o

• 将上面的vmlinux去除调试信息、注释、符号表等内容，生成arch/arm/boot/Image，这是不带多余信息的linux内核，Image的大小约7.5MB；

#arch/arm/boot/Makefile
$(obj)/Image: vmlinux FORCE
        $(call if_changed,objcopy)
        @echo '  Kernel: $@ is ready'

/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment -S  vmlinux arch/arm/boot/Image

• 将 arch/arm/boot/Image 用gzip -9 压缩生成arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip大小约3.5MB；

(cat arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image | gzip -f -9 > arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip) || (rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip ; false)

• 编译arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.S 生成arch/arm/boot/compressed/pi
