6.学习Camera之——linux内核启动流程

本文主要是介绍6.学习Camera之——linux内核启动流程,对大家解决编程问题具有一定的参考价值,需要的程序猿们随着小编来一起学习吧!
本文以Linux3.14版本源码为例分析其启动流程。各版本启动代码略有不同,但核心流程与思想万变不离
其宗。

内核映像被加载到内存并获得控制权之后,内核启动流程开始。通常,内核映像以压缩形式存储,并不是
一个可以执行的内核。因此,内核阶段的首要工作是自解压内核映像。

内核编译生成vmliunx后,通常会对其进行压缩,得到zImage(小内核,小于512KB)或bzImage(大内核,
大于512KB)。在它们的头部嵌有解压缩程序。

通过linux/arch/arm/boot/compressed目录下的Makefile寻找到vmlinux文件的链接脚本(vmlinux.lds),从中查找系统启动入口函数。

$(obj)/vmlinux: $(obj)/vmlinux.lds $(obj)/$(HEAD) $(obj)/piggy.$(suffix_y).o \
		$(addprefix $(obj)/, $(OBJS)) $(lib1funcs) $(ashldi3) \
		$(bswapsdi2) FORCE
	@$(check_for_multiple_zreladdr)
	$(call if_changed,ld)
	@$(check_for_bad_syms)
vmlinux.lds(linux/arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds)链接脚本开头内容

内核初始化阶段
从start_kernel函数开始,内核进入C语言部分,完成内核的大部分初始化工作。

函数所在位置:/linux/init/Main.c

start_kernel涉及大量初始化工作,只例举重要的初始化工作。

kernel_init函数将完成设备驱动程序的初始化,并调用init_post函数启动用户进程

部分书籍介绍的内核启动流程基于经典的2.6版本,kernel_init函数还会调用init_post函数专门负责
_init进程的启动,现版本已经被整合到了一起。

static int __ref kernel_init(void *unused)
{
	int ret;
 
	kernel_init_freeable();     //该函数中完成smp开启  驱动初始化 共享内存初始化等工作
	/* need to finish all async __init code before freeing the memory */
	async_synchronize_full();
	free_initmem();         //初始化尾声,清除内存无用数据
	mark_rodata_ro();
	system_state = SYSTEM_RUNNING;
	numa_default_policy();
 
	flush_delayed_fput();
 
	if (ramdisk_execute_command) {
		ret = run_init_process(ramdisk_execute_command);
		if (!ret)
			return 0;
		pr_err("Failed to execute %s (error %d)\n",
		       ramdisk_execute_command, ret);
	}
 
	/*
	 * 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.
     * 寻找init函数,创建一号进程_init (第一个用户空间进程)*/
	if (execute_command) {
		ret = run_init_process(execute_command);
		if (!ret)
			return 0;
		pr_err("Failed to execute %s (error %d).  Attempting defaults...\n",
			execute_command, ret);
	}
	if (!try_to_run_init_process("/sbin/init") ||
	    !try_to_run_init_process("/etc/init") ||
	    !try_to_run_init_process("/bin/init") ||
	    !try_to_run_init_process("/bin/sh"))
		return 0;
 
	panic("No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. "
	      "See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.");
}
static int __ref kernel_init(void *unused)

		return 0;
 
	panic("No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. "
	      "See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.");
}
 

到此,内核初始化已经接近尾声,所有的初始化函数都已经调用,因此free_initmem函数可以舍弃内存的__init_begin至__init_end之间的数据。

当内核被引导并进行初始化后,内核启动了自己的第一个用户空间应用程序_init,这是调用的第一个使用
标准C库编译的程序,其进程编号时钟为1.

_init负责出发其他必须的进程,以使系统进入整体可用的状态。

以下为内核启动流程图:
