1    何谓platform bus?
        Linux系统中许多部分对设备是如何链接的并不感兴趣,但是他们需要知道哪些类型的设备是可以使用的。设备模型提供了一种机制来对设备进行分类,在更高的功能层面上描述这些设备,并使得这些设备对用户空间可见。因此从2.6内核开始引入了设备模型。

        总线是处理器和一个或多个设备之间的通道,在设备模型中, 所有的设备都通过总线相连。总线可以相互插入。设备模型展示了总线和它们所控制的设备之间的实际连接。

        Platform总线是2.6 kernel中最近引入的一种虚拟总线,主要用来管理CPU的片上资源,具有更好的移植性,因此在2.6 kernel中,很多驱动都用platform改写了。

platform_bus_type的定义如下:

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L609 

struct bus_type platform_bus_type = {
        .name           = "platform",
        .dev_attrs      = platform_dev_attrs,
        .match          = platform_match,
        .uevent         = platform_uevent,
        .suspend        = platform_suspend,
        .suspend_late   = platform_suspend_late,
        .resume_early   = platform_resume_early,
        .resume         = platform_resume,
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus_type);
#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L55

struct bus_type {
        const char              *name;
        struct bus_attribute    *bus_attrs;
        struct device_attribute *dev_attrs;
        struct driver_attribute *drv_attrs;

        int (*match)(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv);
        int (*uevent)(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env);
        int (*probe)(struct device *dev);
        int (*remove)(struct device *dev);
        void (*shutdown)(struct device *dev);
        int (*suspend)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
        int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
        int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev);
        int (*resume)(struct device *dev);

        struct bus_type_private *p;
};

总线名称是"platform",其只是bus_type的一种,定义了总线的属性,同时platform_bus_type还有相关操作方法,如挂起、中止、匹配及hotplug事件等。

总线bus是联系driver和device的中间枢纽。Device通过所属的bus找到driver,由match操作方法进行匹配。

Bus、driver及devices的连接关系

2    device和platform_device
Plarform device会有一个名字用于driver binding(在注册driver的时候会查找driver的目标设备的bus位置,这个过程称为driver binding),另外IRQ以及地址空间等资源也要给出 。

platform_device结构体用来描述设备的名称、资源信息等。该结构被定义在

#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L16中,定义原型如下:

struct platform_device {
        const char      *name; //定义平台设备的名称,此处设备的命名应和相应驱动程序命名一致
        int             id;
        struct device   dev;
        u32             num_resources;
        struct resource *resource;  //定义平台设备的资源
};

在这个结构里封装了struct device及struct resource。可知:platform_device由device派生而来,是一种特殊的device。

下面来看一下platform_device结构体中最重要的一个成员struct resource * resource。struct resource被定义在#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux /ioport.h#L18中,定义原型如下:

/*
 * Resources are tree-like, allowing
 * nesting etc..
 */
struct resource {
        resource_size_t start;  //定义资源的起始地址
        resource_size_t end;  //定义资源的结束地址
        const char *name; //定义资源的名称
        unsigned long flags; 定义资源的类型,比如MEM,IO,IRQ,DMA类型
        struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};

这个结构表示设备所拥有的资源,即I/O端口、I/O映射内存、中断及DMA等。这里的地址指的是物理地址。

另外还需要注意platform_device中的device结构,它详细描述了设备的情况,其为所有设备的基类,定义如下:
#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L422

struct device {
        struct klist            klist_children;
        struct klist_node       knode_parent;   /* node in sibling list */
        struct klist_node       knode_driver;
        struct klist_node       knode_bus;
        struct device           *parent;

        struct kobject kobj;
        char    bus_id[BUS_ID_SIZE];    /* position on parent bus */
        struct device_type      *type;
        unsigned                is_registered:1;
        unsigned                uevent_suppress:1;

        struct semaphore        sem;    /* semaphore to synchronize calls to
                                         * its driver.
                                         */

        struct bus_type *bus;           /* type of bus device is on */
        struct device_driver *driver;   /* which driver has allocated this
                                           device */
        void            *driver_data;   /* data private to the driver */
        void            *platform_data; /* Platform specific data, device
                                           core doesn't touch it */
        struct dev_pm_info      power;

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
        int             numa_node;      /* NUMA node this device is close to */
#endif
        u64             *dma_mask;      /* dma mask (if dma'able device) */
        u64             coherent_dma_mask;/* Like dma_mask, but for
                                             alloc_coherent mappings as

                                             64 bit addresses for consistent
                                             allocations such descriptors. */

        struct device_dma_parameters *dma_parms;

        struct list_head        dma_pools;      /* dma pools (if dma'ble) */

        struct dma_coherent_mem *dma_mem; /* internal for coherent mem override */
        /* arch specific additions */
        struct dev_archdata     archdata;

        spinlock_t              devres_lock;
        struct list_head        devres_head;

        /* class_device migration path */
        struct list_head        node;
        struct class            *class;
        dev_t                   devt;   /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
        struct attribute_group  **groups;       /* optional groups */

        void    (*release)(struct device *dev);
};

3    device_register和platform_device_register

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/core.c#L881

/**
 * device_register - register a device with the system.
 * @dev: pointer to the device structure
 *
 * This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device
 * and add it to the system. The two steps can be called
 * separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
 * I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if
 * have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
 * before it is added to the hierarchy.
 */
1int device_register(struct device *dev)
{
        device_initialize(dev);
        return device_add(dev);
}

初始化一个设备,然后加入到系统中。

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L325

/**
 * platform_device_register - add a platform-level device
 * @pdev: platform device we're adding
 */
int platform_device_register(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
        device_initialize(&pdev->dev);
        return platform_device_add(pdev);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_register);

我们看到注册一个platform device分为了两部分,初始化这个platform_device,然后将此platform_device添加到platform总线中。输入参数platform_device可以是静态的全局设备。

另外一种机制就是动态申请platform_device_alloc一个platform_device设备,然后通过platform_device_add_resources及platform_device_add_data等添加相关资源和属性。

无论哪一种platform_device,最终都将通过platform_device_add注册到platform总线上。

/**
 * platform_device_add - add a platform device to device hierarchy
 * @pdev: platform device we're adding
 *
 * This is part 2 of platform_device_register(), though may be called
 * separately _iff_ pdev was allocated by platform_device_alloc().
 */
int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
        int i, ret = 0;

        if (!pdev)
                return -EINVAL;

        //初始化设备的parent为platform_bus,初始化设备的总线为platform_bus_type。
        if (!pdev->dev.parent)
                pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;

        pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;

/*++++++++++++++
The platform_device.dev.bus_id is the canonical name for the devices.
It's built from two components:

* platform_device.name ... which is also used to for driver matching.
* platform_device.id ... the device instance number, or else "-1"
to indicate there's only one.

These are concatenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and
"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver
named "serial". While "my_rtc"/-1 would be bus_id "my_rtc" (no instance id)
and use the platform_driver called "my_rtc".
++++++++++++++*/
        if (pdev->id != -1)
                snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%d", pdev->name,
                         pdev->id);
        else
                strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE);

        //设置设备struct device 的bus_id成员,留心这个地方,在以后还需要用到这个的。
        for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) {
                struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];

                if (r->name == NULL)
                        r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;

                p = r->parent;
                if (!p) {
                        if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_MEM)
                                p = &iomem_resource;
                        else if (r->flags & IORESOURCE_IO)
                                p = &ioport_resource;
                }
                  //resources分为两种IORESOURCE_MEM和IORESOURCE_IO
                  //CPU对外设IO端口物理地址的编址方式有两种:I/O映射方式和内存映射方式

                if (p && insert_resource(p, r)) {
                        printk(KERN_ERR
                               "%s: failed to claim resource %d/n",
                               pdev->dev.bus_id, i);
                        ret = -EBUSY;
                        goto failed;
                }
        }

        pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
                 pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);

        ret = device_add(&pdev->dev);
        if (ret == 0)
                return ret;

 failed:
        while (--i >= 0)
                if (pdev->resource[i].flags & (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_IO))
                        release_resource(&pdev->resource[i]);
        return ret;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_device_add);

由platform_device_register和platform_device_add的实现可知,device_register()和platform_device_register()都会首先初始化设备,区别在于第二步:其实platform_device_add()包括device_add(),不过要先注册resources,然后将设备挂接到特定的platform总线。

4    device_driver和platform driver
        Platform device是一种device自己是不会做事情的,要有人为它做事情,那就是platform driver。platform driver遵循linux系统的driver model。对于device的discovery/enumerate都不是driver自己完成的而是由由系统的driver注册机制完成。 driver编写人员只要将注册必须的数据结构初始化并调用注册driver的kernel API就可以了。

        接下来来看platform_driver结构体的原型定义,在

#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/platform_device.h#L48中,代码如下:

struct platform_driver {
        int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
        int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
        void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
        int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
        int (*suspend_late)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
        int (*resume_early)(struct platform_device *);
        int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
        struct device_driver driver;
};

可见,它包含了设备操作的几个功能函数,同时包含了一个device_driver结构,说明device_driver是 platform_driver的基类。驱动程序中需要初始化这个变量。下面看一下这个变量的定义,位于

#linux+v2.6.25/include/linux/device.h#L121中:

struct device_driver {
        const char              *name;
        struct bus_type         *bus;
        struct module           *owner;
        const char              *mod_name;      /* used for built-in modules */

        int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
        int (*remove) (struct device *dev);
        void (*shutdown) (struct device *dev);
        int (*suspend) (struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
        int (*resume) (struct device *dev);
        struct attribute_group **groups;
        struct driver_private *p;
};

device_driver提供了一些操作接口,但其并没有实现,相当于一些虚函数,由派生类platform_driver进行重载,无论何种类型的 driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的,具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的,这样就实现了面向对象的设计。

需要注意这两个变量:name和owner。其作用主要是为了和相关的platform_device关联起来,owner的作用是说明模块的所有者,驱动程序中一般初始化为THIS_MODULE。

device_driver结构中也有一个name变量。platform_driver从字面上来看就知道是设备驱动。设备驱动是为谁服务的呢?当然是设备了。内核正是通过这个一致性来为驱动程序找到资源,即 platform_device中的resource。

5    driver_register 和platform_driver_register

内核提供的platform_driver结构体的注册函数为platform_driver_register(),其原型定义在#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L458文件中,具体实现代码如下:

/**
 * platform_driver_register
 * @drv: platform driver structure
 */
int platform_driver_register(struct platform_driver *drv)
{
        drv->driver.bus = &platform_bus_type;
        /*设置成platform_bus_type这个很重要,因为driver和device是通过bus联系在一起的,具体在本例中是通过 */                platform_bus_type中注册的回调例程和属性来是实现的, driver与device的匹配就是通过 platform_bus_type注册的回调例程platform_match ()来完成的。*/
        if (drv->probe)
                drv->driver.probe = platform_drv_probe;
                //在really_probe函数中,回调了platform_drv_probe函数

        if (drv->remove)
                drv->driver.remove = platform_drv_remove;
        if (drv->shutdown)
                drv->driver.shutdown = platform_drv_shutdown;
        if (drv->suspend)
                drv->driver.suspend = platform_drv_suspend;
        if (drv->resume)
                drv->driver.resume = platform_drv_resume;
        return driver_register(&drv->driver);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_driver_register);

不要被上面的platform_drv_XXX吓倒了,它们其实很简单,就是将struct device转换为struct platform_device和struct platform_driver,然后调用platform_driver中的相应接口函数。那为什么不直接调用platform_drv_XXX等接口呢?这就是Linux内核中面向对象的设计思想。

device_driver提供了一些操作接口,但其并没有实现,相当于一些虚函数,由派生类platform_driver进行重载,无论何种类型的 driver都是基于device_driver派生而来的,device_driver中具体的各种操作都是基于统一的基类接口的,这样就实现了面向对象的设计。

在文件#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/driver.c#L234中,实现了driver_register()函数。

/**
 * driver_register - register driver with bus
 * @drv: driver to register
 *
 * We pass off most of the work to the bus_add_driver() call,
 * since most of the things we have to do deal with the bus
 * structures.
 */
int driver_register(struct device_driver *drv)
{
        int ret;

        //如果总线的方法和设备自己的方法同时存在,将打印告警信息,对于platform bus,其没有probe等接口
        if ((drv->bus->probe && drv->probe) ||
            (drv->bus->remove && drv->remove) ||
            (drv->bus->shutdown && drv->shutdown))
                printk(KERN_WARNING "Driver '%s' needs updating - please use "
                        "bus_type methods/n", drv->name);

        //将驱动挂接到总线上,通过总线来驱动设备。
        ret = bus_add_driver(drv);
        if (ret)
                return ret;
        ret = driver_add_groups(drv, drv->groups);
        if (ret)
                bus_remove_driver(drv);
        return ret;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(driver_register);

 * or not.
 */
static int platform_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
        struct platform_device *pdev;

        pdev = container_of(dev, struct platform_device, dev);
        return (strncmp(pdev->name, drv->name, BUS_ID_SIZE) == 0);
}

560,简单的进行字符串匹配,这也是我们强调platform_device和platform_driver中的name属性需要一致的原因。

匹配成功后,则调用probe接口。
#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/dd.c#L101

static atomic_t probe_count = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(probe_waitqueue);

static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
        int ret = 0;

        atomic_inc(&probe_count);
        pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: probing driver %s with device %s/n",
                 drv->bus->name, __FUNCTION__, drv->name, dev->bus_id);
        WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->devres_head));

        dev->driver = drv;
        if (driver_sysfs_add(dev)) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "%s: driver_sysfs_add(%s) failed/n",
                        __FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id);
                goto probe_failed;
        }

        if (dev->bus->probe) {
                ret = dev->bus->probe(dev);
                if (ret)
                        goto probe_failed;
        } else if (drv->probe) {

                        goto probe_failed;
        }

        driver_bound(dev);
        ret = 1;
        pr_debug("bus: '%s': %s: bound device %s to driver %s/n",
                 drv->bus->name, __FUNCTION__, dev->bus_id, drv->name);
        goto done;

probe_failed:
        devres_release_all(dev);

        dev->driver = NULL;

        if (ret != -ENODEV && ret != -ENXIO) {
                /* driver matched but the probe failed */
                printk(KERN_WARNING

        }
        /*
         * Ignore errors returned by ->probe so that the next driver can try
         * its luck.
         */
        ret = 0;
done:
        atomic_dec(&probe_count);
        wake_up(&probe_waitqueue);
        return ret;
}
如果bus和driver同时具备probe方法,则优先调用总线的probe函数。否则调用device_driver的probe函数,此probe 函数是经过各种类型的driver重载的函数,这就实现了利用基类的统一方法来实现不同的功能。对于platform_driver来说,其就是:
#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L394

static int platform_drv_probe(struct device *_dev)
{
        struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver);
        struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev);

        return drv->probe(dev);
}

然后调用特定platform_driver所定义的操作方法,这个是在定义某个platform_driver时静态指定的操作接口。

至此,platform_driver成功挂接到platform bus上了,并与特定的设备实现了绑定,并对设备进行了probe处理。

6    bus、device及driver三者之间的关系
在数据结构设计上,总线、设备及驱动三者相互关联。

platform device包含device,根据device可以获得相应的bus及driver。

设备添加到总线上后形成一个双向循环链表,根据总线可以获得其上挂接的所有device,进而获得了 platform device。根据device也可以获得驱动该总线上所有设备的相关driver。

platform driver包含driver,根据driver可以获得相应的bus,进而获得bus上所有的device,进一步获得platform device,根据name对driver与platform device进行匹配,匹配成功后将device与相应的driver关联起来,即实现了platform device和platform driver的关联。

匹配成功后调用driver的probe进而调用platform driver的probe,在probe里实现驱动特定的功能。

7    哪些适用于plarform驱动?
platform机制将设备本身的资源注册进内核,由内核统一管理,在驱动程序中使用这些资源时通过platform device提供的标准接口进行申请并使用。这样提高了驱动和资源管理的独立性,这样拥有更好的可移植性。platform机制的本身使用并不复杂,由两部分组成:platform_device和platfrom_driver。Platform driver通过platform bus获取platform_device。

通常情况下只要和内核本身运行依赖性不大的外围设备,相对独立的,拥有各自独立的资源(地址总线和IRQs),都可以用 platform_driver来管理,而timer,irq等小系统之内的设备则最好不用platfrom_driver机制。

platform_device最大的特定是CPU直接寻址设备的寄存器空间,即使对于其他总线设备,设备本身的寄存器无法通过CPU总线访问,但总线的controller仍然需要通过platform bus来管理。

总之,platfrom_driver的根本目的是为了统一管理系统的外设资源,为驱动程序提供统一的接口来访问系统资源,将驱动和资源分离,提高程序的可移植性。

8    基于platform总线的驱动开发流程
基于Platform总线的驱动开发流程如下:
•    定义初始化platform bus
•    定义各种platform devices
•    注册各种platform devices
•    定义相关platform driver
•    注册相关platform driver
•    操作相关设备

以S3C24xx平台为例,来简单讲述下platform驱动的实现流程。
8.1    初始化platform_bus
Platform总线的初始化是在platform_bus_init()完成的,代码如下:
#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/platform.c#L621
struct device platform_bus = {
        .bus_id         = "platform",
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_bus);
int __init platform_bus_init(void)
{
        int error;

        error = device_register(&platform_bus);
        if (error)
                return error;
        error =  bus_register(&platform_bus_type);
        if (error)
                device_unregister(&platform_bus);
        return error;
}
该函数创建了一个名为 “platform”的设备,后续platform的设备都会以此为parent。在sysfs中表示为:所有platform类型的设备都会添加在 platform_bus所代表的目录下,即 /sys/devices/platform下面。

platform_bus必须在系统注册任何platform driver和platform device之前初始化,那么这是如何实现的呢?

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/init.c

/**
 * driver_init - initialize driver model.
 *
 * Call the driver model init functions to initialize their
 * subsystems. Called early from init/main.c.
 */
void __init driver_init(void)
{
        /* These are the core pieces */
        devices_init();
        buses_init();
        classes_init();
        firmware_init();
        hypervisor_init();

        /* These are also core pieces, but must come after the
         * core core pieces.
         */
        platform_bus_init();
        system_bus_init();
        cpu_dev_init();
        memory_dev_init();
}

init/main.c
start_kernel  》 rest_init  》 kernel_init  》 do_basic_setup》driver_init 》platform_bus_init

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/base/init.c#L32

/*
 * Ok, the machine is now initialized. None of the devices
 * have been touched yet, but the CPU subsystem is up and
 * running, and memory and process management works.
 *
 * Now we can finally start doing some real work..
 */
static void __init do_basic_setup(void)
{
        /* drivers will send hotplug events */
        init_workqueues();
        usermodehelper_init();
        driver_init();
        init_irq_proc();
        do_initcalls();
}

platform driver和platform device的初始化是在do_initcalls中进行的。

8.2    定义platform_device
#linux+v2.6.25/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/devs.c#L276中定义了系统的资源,是一个高度可移植的文件,大部分板级资源都在这里集中定义。

/* I2C */
static struct resource s3c_i2c_resource[] = {
        [0] = {
                .start = S3C24XX_PA_IIC,
                .end   = S3C24XX_PA_IIC + S3C24XX_SZ_IIC - 1,
                .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
        },
        [1] = {
                .start = IRQ_IIC,
                .end   = IRQ_IIC,
                .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
        }
};
struct platform_device s3c_device_i2c = {
        .name             = "s3c2410-i2c",
        .id               = -1,
        .num_resources    = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_i2c_resource),
        .resource         = s3c_i2c_resource,
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL(s3c_device_i2c);

设备名称为s3c2410-i2c,“-1”只有一个i2c设备,两个资源s3c_i2c_resource,分别为i2c控制器的寄存器空间和中断信息。

8.3    注册platform_device

定义了platform_device后,需要添加到系统中,就可以调用函数platform_add_devices。
#linux+v2.6.25/arch/arm/mach-s3c2440/mach-smdk2440.c

smdk2440_devices将系统资源组织起来,统一注册进内核。

static struct platform_device *smdk2440_devices[] __initdata = {
        &s3c_device_usb,
        &s3c_device_lcd,
        &s3c_device_wdt,
        &s3c_device_i2c,
        &s3c_device_iis,
};
static void __init smdk2440_machine_init(void)
{
        s3c24xx_fb_set_platdata(&smdk2440_fb_info);

        platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
        smdk_machine_init();
}

MACHINE_START(S3C2440, "SMDK2440")
        /* Maintainer: Ben Dooks <ben@fluff.org> */
        .phys_io        = S3C2410_PA_UART,
        .io_pg_offst    = (((u32)S3C24XX_VA_UART) >> 18) & 0xfffc,
        .boot_params    = S3C2410_SDRAM_PA + 0x100,
        .init_irq       = s3c24xx_init_irq,
        .map_io         = smdk2440_map_io,
        .init_machine   = smdk2440_machine_init,
        .timer          = &s3c24xx_timer,
MACHINE_END

170        platform_add_devices(smdk2440_devices, ARRAY_SIZE(smdk2440_devices));
将系统所有资源注册进系统,在此之前platform bus需要初始化成功,否则无法将platform devices挂接到platform bus上。为了保证platform drive初始化时,相关platform资源已经注册进系统,smdk2440_machine_init需要很早执行,而其作为平台初始化 init_machine 时,将优先于系统所有驱动的初始化。

其调用顺序如下:

各种xx_core_initcall被定义到了不同的分级的段中
所以arch_initcall == __initcall_fn3 它将被链接器放于section  .initcall3.init. 中

module_init()==__initcall(fn)==device_initcall(fn)== __initcall_fn6

各个段的优先级由链接脚本定义
#linux+v2.6.25/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h#L328

#define INITCALLS       /
   *(.initcall0.init)      /
   *(.initcall0s.init)      /
   *(.initcall1.init)      /
   *(.initcall1s.init)      /
   *(.initcall2.init)      /
   *(.initcall2s.init)      /
   *(.initcall3.init)      /
   *(.initcall3s.init)      /
   *(.initcall4.init)      /
   *(.initcall4s.init)      /
   *(.initcall5.init)      /
   *(.initcall5s.init)      /
 *(.initcallrootfs.init)      /
   *(.initcall6.init)      /
   *(.initcall6s.init)      /
   *(.initcall7.init)      /
   *(.initcall7s.init)
这个__initcall_start是在文件arch/xxx/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S定义的:

__initcall_start = .;
   INITCALLS
__initcall_end = .;
#linux+v2.6.25/init/main.c#L664

static void __init do_initcalls(void)
{
        initcall_t *call;
        int count = preempt_count();

        for (call = __initcall_start; call < __initcall_end; call++) {
                ......
                result = (*call)();......
        }               
        /* Make sure there is no pending stuff from the initcall sequence */
        flush_scheduled_work();
}

因此__initcall_fnx,数字越小,越先被调用,故arch_initcall优先于module_init所修饰的函数。

arch_initcall修饰的函数的调用顺序如下:
start_kernel  》 rest_init(在setup_arch之后)  》 kernel_init  》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls(在driver_init()之后),因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了,便可将设备挂接到总线上了。

8.4    定义platform_driver
Platform bus和设备都定义好了后,需要定义一个platform driver用来驱动此设备。

对于设备来说:

struct platform_device s3c_device_i2c = {
        .name             = "s3c2410-i2c",
        .id               = -1,
        .num_resources    = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_i2c_resource),
        .resource         = s3c_i2c_resource,
};

EXPORT_SYMBOL(s3c_device_i2c);

根据platform总线上device和driver的匹配规则可知,I2C 的platform driver的名字是s3c2410-i2c。

#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c#L1

/* device driver for platform bus bits */
static struct platform_driver s3c2410_i2c_driver = {
        .probe          = s3c24xx_i2c_probe,
        .remove         = s3c24xx_i2c_remove,
        .resume         = s3c24xx_i2c_resume,
        .driver         = {
                .owner  = THIS_MODULE,
                .name   = "s3c2410-i2c",
        },
};
8.5    注册platform_driver
#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-s3c2410.c#L1
static int __init i2c_adap_s3c_init(void)
{
        int ret;

        ret = platform_driver_register(&s3c2410_i2c_driver);
        if (ret == 0) {
                ret = platform_driver_register(&s3c2440_i2c_driver);
                if (ret)
                        platform_driver_unregister(&s3c2410_i2c_driver);
        }
        return ret;
}
<span style="font-family: Arial;">module_init(i2c_adap_s3c_init);</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">module_exit(i2c_adap_s3c_exit);</span>
在i2c_adap_s3c_init中注册s3c2410_i2c_driver,那么i2c_adap_s3c_init何时执行的呢?module_init(i2c_adap_s3c_init)表明其存放在initcall段,调用顺序如下:
init/main.c
start_kernel  》 rest_init  》 kernel_init  》 do_basic_setup》do_initcalls,因为platform_bus_init在此之前已经初始化完毕了,且设备已经注册到内核中了,驱动将和内核绑定,并最终调用s3c24xx_i2c_probe。

/* s3c24xx_i2c_probe
 *
 * called by the bus driver when a suitable device is found
 */
static int s3c24xx_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
        struct s3c24xx_i2c *i2c = &s3c24xx_i2c;
        struct resource *res;
        int ret;

        /* find the clock and enable it */

        i2c->dev = &pdev->dev;
        i2c->clk = clk_get(&pdev->dev, "i2c");
        if (IS_ERR(i2c->clk)) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot get clock/n");
                ret = -ENOENT;
                goto err_noclk;
        }

        dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "clock source %p/n", i2c->clk);

        clk_enable(i2c->clk);

        /* map the registers */

        res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
        if (res == NULL) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot find IO resource/n");
                ret = -ENOENT;
                goto err_clk;
        }

        i2c->ioarea = request_mem_region(res->start, (res->end-res->start)+1,
                                         pdev->name);

        if (i2c->ioarea == NULL) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot request IO/n");
                ret = -ENXIO;
                goto err_clk;
        }

        i2c->regs = ioremap(res->start, (res->end-res->start)+1);

        if (i2c->regs == NULL) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot map IO/n");
                ret = -ENXIO;
                goto err_ioarea;
        }

        dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "registers %p (%p, %p)/n", i2c->regs, i2c->ioarea, res);

        /* setup info block for the i2c core */

        i2c->adap.algo_data = i2c;
        i2c->adap.dev.parent = &pdev->dev;

        /* initialise the i2c controller */

        ret = s3c24xx_i2c_init(i2c);
        if (ret != 0)
                goto err_iomap;
 
        /* find the IRQ for this unit (note, this relies on the init call to
         * ensure no current IRQs pending 
         */

        res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);
        if (res == NULL) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot find IRQ/n");
                ret = -ENOENT;
                goto err_iomap;
        }

        ret = request_irq(res->start, s3c24xx_i2c_irq, IRQF_DISABLED,
                          pdev->name, i2c);

        if (ret != 0) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot claim IRQ/n");
                goto err_iomap;
        }

        i2c->irq = res;
                
        dev_dbg(&pdev->dev, "irq resource %p (%lu)/n", res,
                (unsigned long)res->start);

        ret = i2c_add_adapter(&i2c->adap);
        if (ret < 0) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add bus to i2c core/n");
                goto err_irq;
        }

        platform_set_drvdata(pdev, i2c);

        dev_info(&pdev->dev, "%s: S3C I2C adapter/n", i2c->adap.dev.bus_id);
        return 0;

 err_irq:
        free_irq(i2c->irq->start, i2c);

 err_iomap:
        iounmap(i2c->regs);

 err_ioarea:
        release_resource(i2c->ioarea);
        kfree(i2c->ioarea);

 err_clk:
        clk_disable(i2c->clk);
        clk_put(i2c->clk);

 err_noclk:
        return ret;
}

当进入probe函数后,需要获取设备的资源信息,常用获取资源的函数主要是:
struct resource * platform_get_resource(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, unsigned int num);
根据参数type所指定类型,例如IORESOURCE_MEM,来获取指定的资源。
struct int platform_get_irq(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int num);
获取资源中的中断号。
struct resource * platform_get_resource_byname(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int type, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称,来获取指定的资源。
int platform_get_irq_byname(struct platform_device *dev, char *name);
根据参数name所指定的名称,来获取资源中的中断号。

此probe函数获取物理IO空间,通过request_mem_region和ioremap等操作物理地址转换成内核中的虚拟地址,初始化I2C控制器,通过platform_get_irq或platform_get_resource得到设备的中断号以后,就可以调用request_irq函数来向系统注册中断,并将此I2C控制器添加到系统中。

8.6    操作设备
进行了platform_device_register 和platform_driver_register后,驱动的相应信息就出现在sys目录的相应文件夹下,然后,我们该如何调用设备呢??怎么对设备进行打开读写等操作呢???

Platform总线只是为了方便管理挂接在CPU总线上的设备,与用户空间的交互,如读写还是需要利用file_operations。当然如果此platform设备无需和用户空间交互,则无需file_operations实例。

对于I2C总线来说,其file_operations如下:
#linux+v2.6.25/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c#L461

static const struct file_operations i2cdev_fops = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .llseek         = no_llseek,
        .read           = i2cdev_read,
        .write          = i2cdev_write,
        .ioctl          = i2cdev_ioctl,
        .open           = i2cdev_open,
        .release        = i2cdev_release,
};
其和platform bus的区别在于,platform bus提供机制访问I2C 控制器本身的资源,而I2C总线提供访问I2C 控制器上挂接的I2C设备的机制。
