1. phys_io 与 io_pg_offst
我们在移植BSP的时候需要填充 machine_desc 结构体,其中有两个字段 phys_io 和 io_pg_offst,如下红色加粗部分:
MACHINE_START(W90P950EVB, "W90P950EVB")
.phys_io = W90X900_PA_UART,
.io_pg_offst = (((u32)W90X900_VA_UART) >> 18) & 0xfffc,
.boot_params = 0x100,
.map_io = nuc950evb_map_io,
.init_irq = nuc900_init_irq,
.init_machine = nuc950evb_init,
.timer = &nuc900_timer,
MACHINE_END
在linux2.6.38中已经没有phys_io与io_pg_offs这两个变量,后面的文章会分析这个问题,现在就来分析linux2.6.35中在machine_desc结构体中,有关phys_io和io_pg_offst变量的作用以及使用方法,在介绍phys_io和io_pg_offst变量的作用之前,我们先来熟悉一些machine_desc这结构体:
struct machine_desc {
/*
* Note! The first four elements are used
* by assembler code in head.S, head-common.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);
};
在行7和行8定义了这两个变量,phys_io:物理IO的起始地址,io_pg_offst:IO页表的偏移字节的地址(MMU页表)。phys_io 用来保存 UART 的物理地址,io_pg_offst 用来保存 UART 的内核空间虚拟地址。两者的映射关系在 arch/arm/kernel/head.S 中建立。这样,在 kernel 没有初始化完 MMU 时,就可以通过写 io_pg_offst 向 UART 打印调试信息。这主要在 low level 的调试函数中使用,比如 printascii。
2. phys_io 与 io_pg_offst 的映射关系如何建立
现在可以进入arch\arm\kernel\head.S中分析这两个变量的具体调用情况:

上面蓝色加粗部分的代码是在哪里定义的呢?它是在arch\arm\kernel\asm-offsets.c定义的,请看下面加粗的代码:
int main(void)
{
DEFINE(TSK_ACTIVE_MM, offsetof(struct task_struct, active_mm));
BLANK();
DEFINE(TI_FLAGS, offsetof(struct thread_info, flags));
DEFINE(TI_PREEMPT, offsetof(struct thread_info, preempt_count));
........
........
DEFINE(SYS_ERROR0, 0x9f0000);
BLANK();
DEFINE(SIZEOF_MACHINE_DESC, sizeof(struct machine_desc));
DEFINE(MACHINFO_TYPE, offsetof(struct machine_desc, nr));
DEFINE(MACHINFO_NAME, offsetof(struct machine_desc, name));
DEFINE(MACHINFO_PHYSIO, offsetof(struct machine_desc, phys_io));
DEFINE(MACHINFO_PGOFFIO, offsetof(struct machine_desc, io_pg_offst));
BLANK();
........
.........
return 0;
}
通过以上的DEFINE宏定义取出phys_io与io_pg_offst分别赋给了MACHINE_PHYSIO和MACHINE_PGOFFIO,这样, phys_io 和 io_pg_offst 就建立了映射关系。
3. printascii 与 uart
printascii 函数调用了一个 汇编宏 addruart。 这个宏在 arch/arm/mach-XXX/include/mach/debug-macro.S 中定义。它的代码一般是这种形式:
.macro addruart,rx
@ see if the MMU is enabled and select appropriate base address
mrc p15, 0, \rx, c1, c0
tst \rx, #1
ldreq \rx, =SUART_BASE_PA
ldrne \rx, =SUART_BASE_UA
.endm
显然,这里用到了在 head.S 中建立的映射关系。这个函数有些芯片并没有去实现。这个函数只用于low level 的调试函数。
