printk调用过程

asmlinkage int printk(const char *fmt, ...)
{
	va_list args;
	int r;

#ifdef CONFIG_KGDB_KDB
	if (unlikely(kdb_trap_printk)) {
		va_start(args, fmt);
		r = vkdb_printf(fmt, args);
		va_end(args);
		return r;
	}
#endif
	va_start(args, fmt);
	r = vprintk(fmt, args);  -》》跟踪vprintk
	va_end(args);

	return r;
}

vprintk->console_unlock->call_console_drivers->_call_console_drivers->con->write

 con是注册的各个终端

con->write是调用console的写方法

static struct console ram_console = {
    .name    = "ram",
    .write    = ram_console_write,
    .flags    = CON_PRINTBUFFER | CON_ENABLED | CON_ANYTIME,
    .index    = -1,
};

对于 ram_console就是ram_console_write

对于串口控制台为 mux_console_write

static struct console mux_console = {
	.name =		"ttyB",
	.write =	mux_console_write,
	.device =	mux_console_device,
	.setup =	mux_console_setup,
	.flags =	CON_ENABLED | CON_PRINTBUFFER,
	.index =	0,
};

mux_console_write 直接操作到硬件

static void mux_console_write(struct console *co, const char *s, unsigned count)
{
	/* Wait until the FIFO drains. */
	while(UART_GET_FIFO_CNT(&mux_ports[0].port))
		udelay(1);

	while(count--) {
		if(*s == '\n') {
			UART_PUT_CHAR(&mux_ports[0].port, '\r');
		}
		UART_PUT_CHAR(&mux_ports[0].port, *s++);
	}

}

#define UART_PUT_CHAR(p, c) __raw_writel((c), (p)->membase + IO_DATA_REG_OFFSET)

可见，如果要自定义一个控制台，就得自定义一个console结构体，和它的方法，设置好标志位，对于每个console来说，如果设置了CON_ENABLE，提供write方法，则printk被调用时将把数据通过console输出。

static void __call_console_drivers(unsigned start, unsigned end)
{
	struct console *con;

	for_each_console(con) {
		if (exclusive_console && con != exclusive_console)
			continue;
		if ((con->flags & CON_ENABLED) && con->write &&
				(cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) ||
				(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME)))
			con->write(con, &LOG_BUF(start), end - start);
	}
}
