__proc_info与__arch_info数据结构中
1. lds链接文件
arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds文件给出了两个结构体变量在系统当中对应的组织位置,相应的实际实现的文件设计的重要结构体。
.init : { /* Init code and data */
*(.init.text)
_einittext = .;
__proc_info_begin = .;
*(.proc.info.init)
__proc_info_end = .;
__arch_info_begin = .;
*(.arch.info.init)
__arch_info_end = .;
这一阶段涉及到两个重要的结构体:
(1) 一个是struct proc_info_list 主要描述CPU相关的信息,定义在文件arch\arm\include\asm\procinfo.h中,与其相关的函数及变量在文件arch/arm/mm/proc_arm920.S中被定义和赋值。
(2) 另一个结构体是描述开发板或者说机器信息的结构体struct machine_desc,定义在\arch\arm\include\asm\mach\arch.h文件中,其函数的定义和变量的赋值在板极相关文件arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-smdk2440.c中实现,这也是内核移植非常重要的一个文件。
2. __proc_info
2.1. __arm920_proc_info
文件arch/arm/include/asm/procinfo.h文件中给定了proc_info_list结构体说明芯片架构相关处理函数的结构体定义。对于ARM架构__arm920_proc_info实现当前2440单板具体的内核汇编代码实现情况。
struct proc_info_list {
unsigned int cpu_val;
unsigned int cpu_mask;
unsigned long __cpu_mm_mmu_flags; /* used by head.S */
unsigned long __cpu_io_mmu_flags; /* used by head.S */
unsigned long __cpu_flush; /* used by head.S */
const char *arch_name;
const char *elf_name;
unsigned int elf_hwcap;
const char *cpu_name;
struct processor *proc;
struct cpu_tlb_fns *tlb;
struct cpu_user_fns *user;
struct cpu_cache_fns *cache;
};
.type __arm920_proc_info,#object
__arm920_proc_info:

#endif
.size __arm920_proc_info, . - __arm920_proc_info
2.2. setup_processor
内核实际的启动流程中setup_arch->setup_processor,setup_processor主要完成两件事情,第一件是查询proc_info_list结构体,从结构体获取CPU内核信息,然后打印出基本信息,并将一些信息保存成全局变量。另外一件是调用cpu_arm920_proc_init函数完成CPU初始化工作。
setup_arch
|---->setup_processor
|---->lookup_processor_type 调用汇编语言实现获取proc_info_list结构体
|---->cpu_proc_init 一个宏拼拼接,拼接以后调用cpu_arm920_proc_init初始化
其中proc_info遍历工作调用的是如下的方式进行,将最终的结果复制给setup_processor中的局部变量list中。
/*
* Read processor ID register (CP#15, CR0), and look up in the linker-built
* supported processor list. Note that we can't use the absolute addresses
* for the __proc_info lists since we aren't running with the MMU on
* (and therefore, we are not in the correct address space). We have to
* calculate the offset.
*
* r9 = cpuid
* Returns:
* r3, r4, r6 corrupted
* r5 = proc_info pointer in physical address space
* r9 = cpuid (preserved)
*/
.type __lookup_processor_type, %function
__lookup_processor_type:
adr r3, 3f
ldmda r3, {r5 - r7}
sub r3, r3, r7 @ get offset between virt&phys

stmfd sp!, {r4 - r7, r9, lr}
mov r9, r0
bl __lookup_processor_type
mov r0, r5
ldmfd sp!, {r4 - r7, r9, pc}
3. setup_machine
函数核心是获取如下的结构体变量信息,实际这个结构体变量的定义是在mach-smdk2440.c文件中给定。
struct machine_desc {
/*
* Note! The first four elements are used
* by assembler code in head-armv.S
*/
unsigned int nr; /* architecture number */
unsigned int phys_io; /* start of physical io */
unsigned int io_pg_offst; /* byte offset for io
* page tabe entry */
const char *name; /* architecture name */
unsigned long boot_params; /* tagged list */
unsigned int video_start; /* start of video RAM */
unsigned int video_end; /* end of video RAM */
unsigned int reserve_lp0 :1; /* never has lp0 */
unsigned int reserve_lp1 :1; /* never has lp1 */
unsigned int reserve_lp2 :1; /* never has lp2 */
unsigned int soft_reboot :1; /* soft reboot */
void (*fixup)(struct machine_desc *,
struct tag *, char **,
struct meminfo *);
void (*map_io)(void);/* IO mapping function */
void (*init_irq)(void);
struct sys_timer *timer; /* system tick timer */
void (*init_machine)(void);
};
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
遍历获取machine_desc结构体结果
setup_machine
|---->lookup_machine_type 调用实际是汇编函数head-common.S文件中
|---->获取struct machine_desc *list对内部的arch信息进行打印
3.2. lookup_machine_type
/*
* Lookup machine architecture in the linker-build list of architectures.
* Note that we can't use the absolute addresses for the __arch_info
* lists since we aren't running with the MMU on (and therefore, we are
* not in the correct address space). We have to calculate the offset.
*
* r1 = machine architecture number
* Returns:
* r3, r4, r6 corrupted
* r5 = mach_info pointer in physical address space
