linux 驱动程序 内核数据类型

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。
