linux宏定义初始化结构体,MACHINE的结构体初始化及宏定义

machine_desc   __mach_desc_##_type结构体的初始化一般都定义在(以arm平台为例)kernel\arch\arm\mach-xxx\xxx.c中，是用宏来定义的(后面有说明)

这是linux启动时的汇编代码中需要使用的

struct machine_desc，定义在asm-arm/mach/arch.h中:

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_ram;/* start of physical ram */

unsigned int phys_io;/* start of physical io*/

unsigned int io_pg_offst;/* byte offset for io page table entry*/

const char *name;/* architecture name*/

unsigned int param_offset;/* parameter page*/

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 param_struct *, char **,

struct meminfo *);

void(*map_io)(void);/* IO mapping function*/

void(*init_irq)(void);

};

结构体的具体定义一般都定义在(以arm平台为例)kernel\arch\arm\mach-xxx\xxx.c中，是用宏来定义的，以mainstone的开发板为例：

定义在kernel\arch\arm\mach-pxa\mainstone.c文件中，如下所示：

MACHINE_START(MAINSTONE, "Intel DBBVA0 Development Platform")

MAINTAINER("MontaVista Software Inc.")

BOOT_MEM(0xa0000000, 0x40000000, io_p2v(0x40000000))

FIXUP(fixup_mainstone)

MAPIO(mainstone_map_io)

INITIRQ(mainstone_init_irq)

MACHINE_END

这些宏也定义在kernel/include/asm-arm/mach/arch.h中，以MACHINE_START为例：

#define MACHINE_START(_type,_name)      \

const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_##_type   \

__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info"))) = { \

.nr     = MACH_TYPE_##_type,    \

.name       = _name,

展开之后结构的是：

__mach_desc_MAINSTONE = {

.nr = MACH_TYPE_MAINSTIONE,

.name = "Intel DBBVA0 Development Platform",

中间的1行__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info"))) = {说明将这个结构放到指定的段.arch.info中，这和前面的

.proc.info是一个意思，__attribute__((__section__的含义参考GNU手册。
