kernel 启动过程之五, initcall 的来由, console 的初始化。

参见include/linux/init.h和vmlinux.lds

1)

所有标识为__init的函数在链接的时候都放在.init.text这个区段内,

在这个区段中,函数的摆放顺序是和链接的顺序有关的,是不确定的。

2)

所有的__init函数在区段.initcall.init中还保存了一份函数指针,

在初始化时内核会通过这些函数指针调用这些__init函数指针,

并在整个初始化完成后,释放整个init区段(包括.init.text,.initcall.init等),

注意,这些函数在内核初始化过程中的调用顺序只和这里的函数指针的顺序有关,

和1)中所述的这些函数本身在.init.text区段中的顺序无关。

在2.4内核中,这些函数指针的顺序也是和链接的顺序有关的,是不确定的。

在2.6内核中,initcall.init区段又分成7个子区段,分别是

.initcall1.init

.initcall2.init

.initcall3.init

.initcall4.init

.initcall5.init

.initcall6.init

.initcall7.init

当需要把函数fn放到.initcall1.init区段时,只要声明

core_initcall(fn);

即可。

其他的各个区段的定义方法分别是:

core_initcall(fn) —>.initcall1.init

postcore_initcall(fn) —>.initcall2.init

arch_initcall(fn) —>.initcall3.init

subsys_initcall(fn) —>.initcall4.init

fs_initcall(fn) —>.initcall5.init

device_initcall(fn) —>.initcall6.init

late_initcall(fn) —>.initcall7.init

而与2.4兼容的initcall(fn)则等价于device_initcall(fn)。

各个子区段之间的顺序是确定的,即先调用.initcall1.init中的函数指针

再调用.initcall2.init中的函数指针,等等。

而在每个子区段中的函数指针的顺序是和链接顺序相关的,是不确定的。

在内核中,不同的init函数被放在不同的子区段中,因此也就决定了它们的调用顺序。

这样也就解决了一些init函数之间必须保证一定的调用顺序的问题。

Uboot完成系统的引导并将Linux内核拷贝到内存之后,bootm -> do_bootm_linux()跳转到kernel的起始位置;

压缩过的kernel入口在arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S,它将调用函数decompress_kernel()解压,打印“Uncompressing Linux…”,调用gunzip(),打印”done, booting the kernel.”

然后call_kernel,执行解压后的kernel,经linux/arch/arm/kernel/head.S调用start_kernel转入体系结构无关的通用C代码,在start_kernel()中完成了一系列系统初始化,设备及驱动的注册即在此时完成:

-------------------------

asmlinkage void __init start_kernel(void)

{


char * command_line;

extern struct kernel_param __start___param[], __stop___param[];

···········································································

printk(KERN_NOTICE “Kernel command line: %s/n”, saved_command_line);

//打印内核命令行

parse_early_param();

parse_args(“Booting kernel”, command_line, __start___param,

__stop___param – __start___param,

&unknown_bootoption);

//解析由BOOT传递的启动参数

···········································································

/* Do the rest non-__init’ed, we’re now alive */

rest_init();

}

start_kernel()中的函数rest_init()将创建第一个核心线程kernel_thread(init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND),调用init()函数:

static int init(void * unused)-------------------

{


·······················

do_basic_setup();

······················

/*

* We try each of these until one succeeds.

*

* The Bourne shell can be used instead of init if we are

* trying to recover a really broken machine.

*/

if (execute_command) { //判断在启动时是否指定了init参数

//如果指定则执行用户init进程,成功将不会返回

run_init_process(execute_command);

printk(KERN_WARNING “Failed to execute %s.  Attempting ”

“defaults…/n”, execute_command);

}

/*   如果没有指定init启动参数,则查找下面的目录init进程,成功将不会返回,否则打印出错信息   */

run_init_process(“/sbin/init”);

run_init_process(“/etc/init”);

run_init_process(“/bin/init”);

run_init_process(“/bin/sh”);

panic(“No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.”);

}

继而调用函数do_basic_setup()(此时与体系结构相关的部分已经初始化完了,现在开始初始化设备了):

/*

* Ok, the machine is now initialized. None of the devices

* have been touched yet, but the CPU subsystem is up and

* running, and memory and process management works.

*

* Now we can finally start doing some real work..

*/
