内核的数据类型
基本数据类型
我们写了两个小的模块来测试实际数据类型和内存对齐的长度。
内核基本数据类型
C语言类型(int)
char、short、int、long long在不同的平台上大小不变。
long、ptr(指针)平台不同其大小不同,但二者的大小始终相同。
char的符号问题:
大多数平台上char默认是signed,但有些平台上默认是 unsigned。
char i = -1; 大部分平台上i是-1,有些平台上是255。
应该使用:signed char i = -1; unsigned char i = 255;
确定大小的类型(u32)
u8、u16、u32、u64、 s8、s16、s32、s64是Linux内核确定大小的类型。
__u8等式linux用户态确定大小的类型。(头文件linux/types.h)
uint8_t、uint32_t是新编译器支持的C99标准确定大小的类型,可以跨平台。
特定内核对象的类型(pid_t)
进程标识符使用pid_t类型,而不使用int,屏蔽了实际的数据类型中任何可能的差异。
特定内核对象的类型,打印时,不太好选择printk或printf的输出格式:
一些平台上排除的警告,在另一平台上可能会出现(size_t在一些平台上是unsigned long,在一些平台上是unsigned int)。
将其强制转换成可能的最大类型,然后用响应的格式打印输出。
字节序 大端、小端 数值0x01020304,内存从低到高依次存储:04 03 02 01 为小端。 存储顺序反过来为大端) 数值0x00000001,内存从低到高依次存储:01 00 00 00 为小端。
转换函数 u32 __cpu_to_be32(u32); /* 把cpu字节序转为大端字节序 */
u32 __be32_to_cpu(u32); /* 把大端字节序转为cpu字节序 */
u32 __cpu_to_le32(u32); /* 把cpu字节序转为小端字节序 */
u32 __le32_to_cpu(u32); /* 把小端字节序转为cpu字节序 */
在头文件<linux/byteorder.h>中时间间隔使用HZ代表一秒。
不能假定每秒就1000个jiffies。 与msec毫秒对应的jiffies数目总是msec*HZ/1000。
页大小为PAGE_SIZE个字节,而不是4KB。
分配16KB的空间临时存储数据,如下:
以上,只是基本数据类型中最简单的一部分,绝大多数都是细节问题,要注意。
