Linux arm进程切换

Linux进程切换的函数是在函数schedule()中实现的，其中主要的函数是：

schedule(void)

｛

……

context_switch(rq, prev, next);

……

｝

在函数context_switch()中主要实现两个功能：1.切换页全局目录，生成进程的新的地址空间；2.切换硬件的上下文，即切换寄存器的值。以下主要分析这两个功能。

context_switch(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,

struct task_struct *next)

{

……

switch_mm(oldmm, mm, next);

……

switch_to(prev, next, prev);

……

}

一．切换全局目录

switch_mm(oldmm, mm, next)

{

……

cpu_switch_mm(next->pgd, next);

……

}

#define cpu_switch_mm(pgd,mm) cpu_do_switch_mm(virt_to_phys(pgd),mm)

#define cpu_do_switch_mm(pgd,mm)  processor.switch_mm(pgd,mm)

.align       5

ENTRY(cpu_arm920_switch_mm)   //suyi  processor.switch_mm(pgd,mm)

#ifdef CONFIG_MMU

mov ip, #0

……

mcr p15, 0, ip, c7, c5, 0              @ invalidate I cache

mcr p15, 0, ip, c7, c10, 4            @ drain WB

mcr p15, 0, r0, c2, c0, 0             @ load page table pointer //此处切换MMU的全局页表

mcr p15, 0, ip, c8, c7, 0              @ invalidate I & D TLBs

#endif

mov pc, lr

二．切换硬件的上下文

switch_to(prev, next, prev)

#define switch_to(prev,next,last)                               \

do {                                                         \

last = __switch_to(prev,task_thread_info(prev), task_thread_info(next));  \

} while (0)

ENTRY(__switch_to)

add  ip, r1, #TI_CPU_SAVE

//DEFINE(TI_CPU_SAVE,offsetof(struct thread_info, cpu_context));

//struct cpu_context_save {

//__u32     r4;

//__u32     r5;

//__u32     r6;

//__u32     r7;

//__u32     r8;

//__u32     r9;

//__u32     sl;

//__u32     fp;

//__u32     sp;

//__u32     pc;

//__u32     extra[2];         /* Xscale 'acc' register, etc */

//};

stmia       ip!, {r4 - sl, fp, sp, lr}   @ Store most regs on stack//保存prev寄存器状态

#ifdef CONFIG_MMU

ldr   r6, [r2, #TI_CPU_DOMAIN]

#endif

#if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6

#endif

#endif

#if defined(CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG)

mcr p15, 0, r3, c13, c0, 3            @ set TLS register

#elif !defined(CONFIG_TLS_REG_EMUL)

add  r4, r2, #TI_CPU_SAVE//next进程的寄存器状态值

ldr   r0, =thread_notify_head
