初始化堆

3.3.2 初始化堆

回到main函数，第二个函数，init_heap()，用来检查内核初始化阶段使用的堆：

 

109static void init_heap(void)  110{  111        char *stack_end;  112  113        if (boot_params.hdr.loadflags & CAN_USE_HEAP) {  114                asm("leal %P1(%%esp),%0"  115                    : "=r" (stack_end) : "i" (-STACK_SIZE));  116  117                heap_end = (char *)  118                        ((size_t)boot_params.hdr.heap_end_ptr + 0x200);  119                if (heap_end > stack_end)  120                        heap_end = stack_end;  121        } else {  122                /* Boot protocol 2.00 only, no heap available */  123                puts("WARNING: Ancient bootloader, some functionality "  124                     "may be limited!/n");  125        }  126}

 

这个函数也简单，跟我们在“准备实模式下c语言环境”中一样，hdr字段的loadflags标记如果CAN_USE_HEAP被置位，则说明本体系支持堆。我们这里用的x86最新的协议时支持的，所以进入if分支。If分支内检查堆的大小，不能益出，如果发现溢出，就调整到stack_end。

 

3.3.3 确保支持当前运行的CPU

看过了init_heap函数，我们继续看第三个函数，validate_cpu()：

 

35int validate_cpu(void)   36{   37        u32 *err_flags;   38        int cpu_level, req_level;   39        const unsigned char *msg_strs;   40   41        check_cpu(&cpu_level, &req_level, &err_flags);   42   43        if (cpu_level < req_level) {   44                printf("This kernel requires an %s CPU, ",   45                       cpu_name(req_level));   46                printf("but only detected an %s CPU./n",   47                       cpu_name(cpu_level));   48                return -1;   49        }   50   51        if (err_flags) {   52                int i, j;   53                puts("This kernel requires the following features "   54                     "not present on the CPU:/n");   55   56                msg_strs = (const unsigned char *)x86_cap_strs;   57   58                for (i = 0; i < NCAPINTS; i++) {   59                        u32 e = err_flags[i];   60   61                        for (j = 0; j < 32; j++) {   62                                if (msg_strs[0] < i ||   63                                    (msg_strs[0] == i && msg_strs[1] < j)) {   64                                        /* Skip to the next string */   65                                        msg_strs += 2;   66                                        while (*msg_strs++)   67                                                ;   68                                }   69                                if (e & 1) {   70                                        if (msg_strs[0] == i &&   71                                            msg_strs[1] == j &&   72                                            msg_strs[2])   73                                                printf("%s ", msg_strs+2);   74                                        else   75                                                printf("%d:%d ", i, j);   76                                }   77                                e >>= 1;   78                        }   79                }   80                putchar('/n');   81                return -1;   82        } else {   83                return 0;   84        }   85}

 

这个函数也比较简单，注意第41行，check_cpu，通过指令读取cpu的信息，存放在cpu_level、req_level和err_flags三个内部变量中。req_level表示内核需要运行的CPU最低版本，cpu_level表示系统实际的CPU版本，当然，如果cpu_level < req_level，那自然就报错啦。至于具体用了哪些汇编指令，自己去/arch/x86/boot/Cpucheck.c中看，这里不在话下。
