以arm为例，分析一下kernel的启动过程;

内核版本：linux-3.2.tar.gz

一、arch/arm/kernel/head.s

19     .arm

20 

21     __HEAD                          @#define __HEAD  .section ".head.text","ax"

22 ENTRY(stext)

23 

24  THUMB(    adr    r9, BSYM(1f)    )    @ Kernel is always entered in ARM.

25  THUMB(    bx    r9        )    @ If this is a Thumb-2 kernel,

26  THUMB(    .thumb            )    @ switch to Thumb now.

27  THUMB(1:            )

28 

29     setmode    PSR_F_BIT | PSR_I_BIT | SVC_MODE, r9 @ ensure svc mode   关闭普通中断，快速中断，使能svc模式

30                         @ and irqs disabled

31     mrc    p15, 0, r9, c0, c0        @ get processor id         获得芯片ID

32     bl    __lookup_processor_type        @ r5=procinfo r9=cpuid 获得处理器型号，r5 == id，#1

33     movs    r10, r5                @ invalid processor (r5=0)?  校验正确性，0错误

34  THUMB( it    eq )        @ force fixup-able long branch encoding

35     beq    __error_p            @ yes, error 'p'

37 #ifndef CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL

38     adr    r3, 2f

39     ldmia    r3, {r4, r8}

40     sub    r4, r3, r4            @ (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)

41     add    r8, r8, r4            @ PHYS_OFFSET        

42 #else

43     ldr    r8, =PHYS_OFFSET        @ always constant in this case #define PHYS_OFFSET   UL(CONFIG_DRAM_BASE)

44 #endif

14     __CPUINIT

15 __lookup_processor_type:

16     adr    r3, __lookup_processor_type_data        @adr 相对偏移读取，读取下面type_data地址

17     ldmia    r3, {r4 - r6}       @将该地址存放的值 放入r4(.)，r5(begin)，r6(end)

18     sub    r3, r3, r4            @ get offset between virt&phys   链接地址-实际地址=偏移量

19     add    r5, r5, r3            @ convert virt addresses to    得到begin的虚拟起始地址

20     add    r6, r6, r3            @ physical address space       得到end的虚拟起始地址

21 1:    ldmia    r5, {r3, r4}            @ value, mask            得到r5的两个值到r3，r4

22     and    r4, r4, r9            @ mask wanted bits             确定id值

23     teq    r3, r4

24     beq    2f                                                  @相等返回，不等读取下一组

25     add    r5, r5, #PROC_INFO_SZ        @ sizeof(proc_info_list)
