继续分析,我们先贴上将要分析的main函数
void main(void) /* This really IS void, no error here. */
{ /* The startup routine assumes (well, ...) this */
/*
* Interrupts are still disabled. Do necessary setups, then
* enable them
*/
ROOT_DEV = ORIG_ROOT_DEV;
drive_info = DRIVE_INFO;
memory_end = (1<<20) + (EXT_MEM_K<<10);
memory_end &= 0xfffff000;
if (memory_end > 16*1024*1024)
memory_end = 16*1024*1024;
if (memory_end > 12*1024*1024)
buffer_memory_end = 4*1024*1024;
else if (memory_end > 6*1024*1024)
buffer_memory_end = 2*1024*1024;
else
buffer_memory_end = 1*1024*1024;
main_memory_start = buffer_memory_end;
#ifdef RAMDISK
main_memory_start += rd_init(main_memory_start, RAMDISK*1024);
#endif
mem_init(main_memory_start,memory_end);
trap_init();
blk_dev_init();
chr_dev_init();
tty_init();
time_init();
sched_init();
buffer_init(buffer_memory_end);
hd_init();
floppy_init();
sti();
move_to_user_mode();
if (!fork()) { /* we count on this going ok */
init();
}
/*
* NOTE!! For any other task 'pause()' would mean we have to get a
* signal to awaken, but task0 is the sole exception (see 'schedule()')
* as task 0 gets activated at every idle moment (when no other tasks
* can run). For task0 'pause()' just means we go check if some other
* task can run, and if not we return here.
*/
for(;;) pause();
}
接前文,我们继续分析
mem_init(main_memory_start,memory_end);
trap_init();
blk_dev_init();
chr_dev_init();
tty_init();
time_init();
sched_init();
buffer_init(buffer_memory_end);
hd_init();
floppy_init();
sti();
move_to_user_mode();
这些代码是一些初始化,现在我们先不用管他们,我们只是想知道计算机是怎么运行起来的。
我们关注一下下边这个代码
if (!fork()) { /* we count on this going ok */
init();
}
调用fork()函数后会创建一个新的进程,关于fork()的详细解释,请参考http://baike.baidu.com/view/1952900.htm
在父进程会返回子进程的进程号,在子进程会返回0,所以,在子进程会执行init(),而在父进程会执行
/*
* NOTE!! For any other task 'pause()' would mean we have to get a
* signal to awaken, but task0 is the sole exception (see 'schedule()')
* as task 0 gets activated at every idle moment (when no other tasks
* can run). For task0 'pause()' just means we go check if some other
* task can run, and if not we return here.
*/
for(;;) pause();
也就是父进程从此就“暂停了”。
我们继续分析子进程的init()
开始仍然是执行一些初始化,我们先不必深究。
int pid,i;
setup((void *) &drive_info);
(void) open("/dev/tty0",O_RDWR,0);
(void) dup(0);
(void) dup(0);
printf("%d buffers = %d bytes buffer space\n\r",NR_BUFFERS,
NR_BUFFERS*BLOCK_SIZE);
printf("Free mem: %d bytes\n\r",memory_end-main_memory_start);
之后是又新建了一个子进程,然后在子进程中执行if里边的代码,我们通过这段代码只需大概知道,这段代码的最终目的是执行/bin/sh程序
if (!(pid=fork())) {
close(0);
if (open("/etc/rc",O_RDONLY,0))
_exit(1);
execve("/bin/sh",argv_rc,envp_rc);
_exit(2);
}
分析到这里,Linux也就基本启动起来了。剩下的我们就单独分模块来看了。
