在linux kernel中,各个ARM下平台都会实现一个描述平台的对象struct machine_desc,这是一个很重要的数据结构,各个平台都需要实现这样的一个对象,系统初始化过程中,会对这里定义的函数回调,已完成对系统的初始化。我们这里先列出基本数据结构,下面将逐一介绍这些函数调用处理。
arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h
struct machine_desc {
unsigned int nr; /* architecture number */
const char *name; /* architecture name */
unsigned long atag_offset; /* tagged list (relative) */
const char *const *dt_compat; /* array of device tree
* 'compatible' strings */
unsigned int nr_irqs; /* number of IRQs */
#ifdef CONFIG_ZONE_DMA
phys_addr_t dma_zone_size; /* size of DMA-able area */
#endif
unsigned int video_start; /* start of video RAM */
unsigned int video_end; /* end of video RAM */
unsigned char reserve_lp0 :1; /* never has lp0 */
unsigned char reserve_lp1 :1; /* never has lp1 */
unsigned char reserve_lp2 :1; /* never has lp2 */
enum reboot_mode reboot_mode; /* default restart mode */
unsigned l2c_aux_val; /* L2 cache aux value */
unsigned l2c_aux_mask; /* L2 cache aux mask */
void (*l2c_write_sec)(unsigned long, unsigned);
struct smp_operations *smp; /* SMP operations */
bool (*smp_init)(void);
void (*fixup)(struct tag *, char **);
void (*dt_fixup)(void);
long long (*pv_fixup)(void);
void (*reserve)(void);/* reserve mem blocks */
void (*map_io)(void);/* IO mapping function */
void (*init_early)(void);
void (*init_irq)(void);
void (*init_time)(void);
void (*init_machine)(void);
void (*init_late)(void);
#ifdef CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER
void (*handle_irq)(struct pt_regs *);
#endif
void (*restart)(enum reboot_mode, const char *);
};
extern const struct machine_desc *machine_desc;
extern const struct machine_desc __arch_info_begin[], __arch_info_end[];
#define for_each_machine_desc(p) \
for (p = __arch_info_begin; p < __arch_info_end; p++)
用于定义平台的宏定义:
#define MACHINE_START(_type,_name) \
static const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_##_type \
__used \
__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info.init"))) = { \
.nr = MACH_TYPE_##_type, \
.name = _name,
#define MACHINE_END \
};
#define DT_MACHINE_START(_name, _namestr) \
static const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_##_name \
__used \
__attribute__((__section__(".arch.info.init"))) = { \
.nr = ~0, \
.name = _namestr,
这些宏定义被链接器编译进一个表中,即在__arch_info_begin 和__arch_info_end之间,或者说在.arch.info.init节中。
具体平台定义此对象,如下:
MACHINE_START(MAGICIAN, "HTC Magician")
.atag_offset = 0x100,
.map_io = pxa27x_map_io,
.nr_irqs = MAGICIAN_NR_IRQS,
.init_irq = pxa27x_init_irq,
.handle_irq = pxa27x_handle_irq,
.init_machine = magician_init,
.init_time = pxa_timer_init,
.restart = pxa_restart,
MACHINE_END
DT_MACHINE_START(TEGRA_DT, "NVIDIA Tegra SoC (Flattened Device Tree)")
.l2c_aux_val = 0x3c400001,
.l2c_aux_mask = 0xc20fc3fe,
.smp = smp_ops(tegra_smp_ops),
.map_io = tegra_map_common_io,
.init_early = tegra_init_early,
.init_irq = tegra_dt_init_irq,
.init_machine = tegra_dt_init,
.init_late = tegra_dt_init_late,
.dt_compat = tegra_dt_board_compat,
MACHINE_END
