本文详细介绍了Linux2.6.38.8内核编译后生成的zImage文件的解压过程。zImage由压缩后的内核piggy.o和包含初始化及解压功能的head.o misc.o两部分组成。在arch/arm/boot/Makefile中，通过objcopy生成zImage，并在运行时自动解压。

内核编译完成后会生成zImage内核镜像文件。zImage是如何解压的呢？本文将结合关键代码，讲解zImage的解压过程。还是先来看看zImage的组成吧。在内核编译完成后会在arch/arm/boot/下生成zImage。

在arch/arm/boot/Makefile中，如下代码：

MKIMAGE         := $(srctree)/scripts/mkuboot.sh

ifneq ($(MACHINE),)
include $(srctree)/$(MACHINE)/Makefile.boot
endif

# Note: the following conditions must always be true:
#   ZRELADDR == virt_to_phys(PAGE_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET)
#   PARAMS_PHYS must be within 4MB of ZRELADDR
#   INITRD_PHYS must be in RAM
ZRELADDR    := $(zreladdr-y)
PARAMS_PHYS := $(params_phys-y)
INITRD_PHYS := $(initrd_phys-y)

export ZRELADDR INITRD_PHYS PARAMS_PHYS

targets := Image zImage xipImage bootpImage uImage

ifeq ($(CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL),y)

$(obj)/xipImage: vmlinux FORCE
	$(call if_changed,objcopy)
	@echo '  Kernel: $@ is ready (physical address: $(CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR))'

$(obj)/Image $(obj)/zImage: FORCE
	@echo 'Kernel configured for XIP (CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y)'
	@echo 'Only the xipImage tar
