Linux memory的初始化(一)

前面已经通过转载的方式介绍了Linux的设备树，现在来讲讲Linux memory size的初始化：

kernel memory size的初始化函数调用顺序如下：

start_kernel->setup_arch->setup_machine_fdt->early_init_dt_scan_nodes->early_init_dt_scan_chosen->early_init_dt_scan_root->early_init_dt_scan_memory->early_init_dt_add_memory_arch->memblock_add->memblock_add_range.

从setup_machine_fdt开始说起：

const struct machine_desc * __init setup_machine_fdt(unsigned int dt_phys)//做两件事：通过dts的compitable找到合适的machine_dsec结构体，解析DTS的内容
{
	const struct machine_desc *mdesc, *mdesc_best = NULL;

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
	DT_MACHINE_START(GENERIC_DT, "Generic DT based system")
	MACHINE_END

	mdesc_best = &__mach_desc_GENERIC_DT;
#endif

	if (!dt_phys || !early_init_dt_verify(phys_to_virt(dt_phys)))
		return NULL;

	mdesc = of_flat_dt_match_machine(mdesc_best, arch_get_next_mach);

	if (!mdesc) {
		const char *prop;
		int size;
		unsigned long dt_root;

		early_print("\nError: unrecognized/unsupported "
			    "device tree compatible list:\n[ ");

		dt_root = of_get_flat_dt_root();
		prop = of_get_flat_dt_prop(dt_root, "compatible", &size);
		while (size > 0) {
			early_print("'%s' ", prop);
			size -= strlen(prop) + 1;
			prop += strlen(prop) + 1;
		}
		early_print("]\n\n");

		dump_machine_table(); /* does not return */
	}
