对Linux内核的初探索
运行简单的Linux系统
这里的bzImage是vmLinux经过gzip压缩后的文件,b是大内核,vmLinux 是编译出来的最原始的内核ELF文件。initrd是"intial ramdisk"也就是内存根文件系统。
调试Linux内核启动过程
注意gdb调试内核时必须加两个参数,第一个参数是 -s,这个-s是在1234端口上创建一个gdb-server当打开另一个窗口时,用gdb把带有符号表的内核镜像加载进来,连接gdb server,设置断点跟踪内核。 第二个参数是-S是Cpu初试化前冻结起来。
可以看见冻结起来了,现在进行gdb调试,注意进行gdb调试需要打开另一个窗口,把内核加载进来建立连接。
# 在gdb界面中targe remote之前加载符号表
(gdb)file linux-3.18.6/vmlinux
```javascript
# 建立gdb和gdbserver之间的连接,按c 让qemu上的Linux继续运行
(gdb)target remote:1234
# 断点的设置可以在target remote之前,也可以在之后
(gdb)break start_kernel
分析
main.c源码(仅供参考)
Linunx源码目录如下:
// An highlighted block
var foo = 'bar';a) Arch目录:存放处理器相关的代码。下设子目录,分别对应具体的CPU,每个子目录有boot,mm,以及kernel三个子目录,分别对应系统引导以及存储管理,和系统调用
b) Include目录:内核所需要的大部分头文件目录。与平台无关的在include/linux子目录下,与平台相关的则放在include相应的子目录中。
c) fs目录:存放各种文件系统的实现代码。
d) init目录:init子目录包含核心的初始化代码(不是系统的引导代码)。其包含两个文件main.c和version.c,可以用来研究核心如何工作。
e) ipc目录:包含核心进程间的通信代码。
f) kernel目录:包含内核管理的核心代码。与硬件相关代码放在arch/*/kernel目录下。
g) mm目录:包含了所有的内存管理代码。与硬件相关的内存管理代码位于arch/*/mm目录下。
h) scripts目录:包含用于配置核心的脚本文件。
i) lib目录:包含了核心的库代码,与硬件相关的库代码被放在arch/*/lib/目录下
可以在init文件夹中找到一个main.c文件,打开它可以看见如下代码:

具体函数分析
start_kernel()函数
这里相当于Main函数,位置是main.c中的第500行,在这个函数被调用前,内核的代码是用汇编写,初始化硬件系统,为C代码的运行设置环境。里面涉及到了内核的主要模块
init_task()函数
set_task_stack_end_magic(&init_task);
这个init_task就是0号进程,是task_struct类型,也是进程描述符,初始化是通过宏定义INIT_TASK
rest_init()函数
在main.c中的393行
kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS);
pid = kernel_thread(kthreadd, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES);
这里新建了两个内核线程,一个是kernel_init,一个是kthreadd。
需要注意的是:
对于kernel_thread()是fork一个新进程来执行kernel_init()函数
init_task是用宏进行初始化
kernel_thread执行了kthreadd,创建PID为2的线程,kthreadd是管理和调度其他内核线程kernel_thread。在这个kthreadd函数中有一个for循环,运行了kthread_create_list全局链表中维护的kthread,create_kthread函数是调用kernel_thread生成一个新的进程并加入链表,换句话说其实所有内核进程都是直接或者间接以kthreadd为父进程。
所以其实启动内核创建进程主要逻辑如下:
综上也就是start_kernel函数进行了大量初始化工作,主要是对硬件的初始化,而rest_init函数是对进程空间的初始化,然后内核启动。
总结与反思
之前从来没对内核进行分析过,所以对我而言算是全新的知识点,看C语言代码还是觉得有点难度,与我之前学过的C语言有所不同,主要分析了两个函数第一个是start_kenerl,第二个是rest_init()。使用init_task()创建了一个0号进程,进行了初始化,在进入rest_init()创建kernel_init()和kthreadd(),第一个是用户进程,第二个是内核线程。
接下来会多读内核源码,多对源码进行分析,多使用gdb调试,多设断点,深刻理解代码运行过程。
