内核如何根据堆栈指针获current_thread_info

current_thread_info的定义在include/asm/thread_info.h中：

/* Given a task stack pointer, you can find it's task structure

 * just by masking it to the 8K boundary.

 */

static inline struct thread_info *current_thread_info(void)

{

     struct thread_info *ti;

      __asm__("%0 = sp;": "=&d"(ti):

     );

     return (struct thread_info *)((long)ti & ~((long)THREAD_SIZE-1));

}

它的作用在于取得运行当前代码的线程的信息，此信息保存在thread_info结构体中。

在上述函数中，THREAD_SIZE定义为：

 

/*

 * Size of kernel stack for each process. This must be a power of 2...

 */

#define THREAD_SIZE         8192 /* 2 pages */

也就是说，上述函数将取SP指针，并将此指针按照8K对齐，即2页对齐，这就是线程信息的指针了。

记得在处理head.s的时候，有一段代码：

       /*

        * load the current thread pointer and stack

        */

       r1.l = _init_thread_union;

       r1.h = _init_thread_union;

 

       r2.l = 0x2000;    // 8192字节

       r2.h = 0x0000;

       r1 = r1 + r2;

       sp = r1;

       usp = sp;

       fp = sp;

其中init_thread_union的定义为：

/*

 * Initial thread structure.

 *

 * We need to make sure that this is 8192-byte aligned due to the

 * way process stacks are handled. This is done by having a special

 * "init_task" linker map entry.

 */

union thread_union init_thread_union

    __attribute__ ((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = {

INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task)};

thread_union的定义在include/linux/shed.h中：

 

union thread_union {

     struct thread_info thread_info;

     unsigned long stack[THREAD_SIZE/sizeof(long)];

};

这个union的结构体大小为THREAD_SIZE，也就是8K，在初始化的时候，将FP和SP都指向了初始线程stack的最高位置。
