Mini440之uboot移植流程之linux内核启动分析(六)

本文主要是介绍Mini440之uboot移植流程之linux内核启动分析(六),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!

在前面的章节关于u-boot的源码,以及u-boot的移植这一块我们介绍完了。接下来,我们开始进入第二个阶段,linux内核移植,以及驱动开发。

在这之前,我们遗漏了u-boot中的一个重要环节没有介绍,就是u-boot如何执行bootm命令,如何实现linux内核启动。

一、linux内核启动入口之do_bootm

我们在Mini440之uboot移植之源码分析命令解析(五) 介绍过如果配置了CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND宏:

#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND "nand read 0x30000000 kernel; bootm 0x30000000" //bootcmd  

那么在执行autoboot_command函数的时候,将会执行该命令。

bootm这个命令用于启动一个操作系统映射,它会从映射文件的头部取得一些信息,这些信息包括:映射文件的基于的cpu架构、其操作系统类型、映射的类型、压缩方式、映射文件在内存中的加载地址、映射文件运行的入口地址、映射文件名等。

nand read 0x30000000命令:这里将NAND kernel分区的代码加载到地址0x30000000;

bootm 0x3000000:启动linux内核;

1.1 autoboot_command(common/autoboot.c)

void autoboot_command(const char *s)
{
    debug("### main_loop: bootcmd=\"%s\"\n", s ? s : "<UNDEFINED>");

    if (stored_bootdelay != -1 && s && !abortboot(stored_bootdelay)) {
        run_command_list(s, -1, 0);
    }
}

如果在u-boot启动倒计时结束之前,没有按下任何键,将会执行那么将执行run_command_list,此函数会执行参数s指定的一系列命令,也就是bootcmd中配置中的命令,bootcmd中保存着默认的启动命令。

在默认环境变量default_environment中定义有:

#ifdef    CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
    "bootcmd="    CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND        "\0"
#endif

1.2 do_bootm(cmd/bootm.c)

由于要执行bootm命令,所以我们需要打开与bootm命令相关的文件进行分析,bootm命令定义在cmc/bootm.c文件中:

U_BOOT_CMD(
    bootm,    CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS,    1,    do_bootm,
    "boot application image from memory", bootm_help_text
);

找到对应的do_bootm函数,去除无用的代码:

/*******************************************************************/
/* bootm - boot application image from image in memory */
/*******************************************************************/

int do_bootm(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[])
{
    /* determine if we have a sub command */
    argc--; argv++;
    if (argc > 0) {
        char *endp;

        simple_strtoul(argv[0], &endp, 16);
        /* endp pointing to NULL means that argv[0] was just a
         * valid number, pass it along to the normal bootm processing
         *
         * If endp is ':' or '#' assume a FIT identifier so pass
         * along for normal processing.
         *
         * Right now we assume the first arg should never be '-'
         */
        if ((*endp != 0) && (*endp != ':') && (*endp != '#'))
            return do_bootm_subcommand(cmdtp, flag, argc, argv);
    }

    // 到这里参数中的bootm参数会被去掉
    return do_bootm_states(cmdtp, flag, argc, argv, BOOTM_STATE_START |
        BOOTM_STATE_FINDOS | BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER |
        BOOTM_STATE_LOADOS |
        BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP | BOOTM_STATE_OS_FAKE_GO |
        BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO, &images, 1);
}

当执行bootm 0x30000000,函数入参:第一个参数是bootm命令结构体,flag是命令标志位,argv[0]='"bootm"、argv[1]="0x3000000",argc=2。

这里进入函数之后argc=1,argv[0]=0x30000000.

bootm的核心是do_bootm_states,以全局变量bootm_headers_t images作为do_bootm_states的参数,改变量在cmd/bootm.c文件中声明。

bootm_headers_t images;        /* pointers to os/initrd/fdt images */

 bootm会根据参数以及参数指向的镜像来填充这个结构体里面的成员。 最终再使用这个结构体里面的信息来填充kernel启动信息并且到跳转到kernel中。 

下面详细说明这个函数。

二、do_bootm_states(cmd/bootm.c)

我们先来看一下这个函数的声明:

int do_bootm_states(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[],
            int states, bootm_headers_t *images, int boot_progress);

2.1 bootm_headers_t(include/image.h)

bootm_headers_t是一个复杂的数据结构,官网是这样描述的:

/*
 * Legacy and FIT format headers used by do_bootm() and do_bootm_<os>()
 * routines.
 */
typedef struct bootm_headers {
    /*
     * Legacy os image header, if it is a multi component image
     * then boot_get_ramdisk() and get_fdt() will attempt to get
     * data from second and third component accordingly.
     */
    image_header_t    *legacy_hdr_os;        /* image header pointer */
    image_header_t    legacy_hdr_os_copy;    /* header copy */
    ulong        legacy_hdr_valid;

#if IMAGE_ENABLE_FIT
    const char    *fit_uname_cfg;    /* configuration node unit name */

    void        *fit_hdr_os;    /* os FIT image header */
    const char    *fit_uname_os;    /* os subimage node unit name */
    int        fit_noffset_os;    /* os subimage node offset */

    void        *fit_hdr_rd;    /* init ramdisk FIT image header */
    const char    *fit_uname_rd;    /* init ramdisk subimage node unit name */
    int        fit_noffset_rd;    /* init ramdisk subimage node offset */

    void        *fit_hdr_fdt;    /* FDT blob FIT image header */
    const char    *fit_uname_fdt;    /* FDT blob subimage node unit name */
    int        fit_noffset_fdt;/* FDT blob subimage node offset */

    void        *fit_hdr_setup;    /* x86 setup FIT image header */
    const char    *fit_uname_setup; /* x86 setup subimage node name */
    int        fit_noffset_setup;/* x86 setup subimage node offset */
#endif

#ifndef USE_HOSTCC
    image_info_t    os;        /* os image info */
    ulong        ep;        /* entry point of OS */

    ulong        rd_start, rd_end;/* ramdisk start/end */

    char        *ft_addr;    /* flat dev tree address */
    ulong        ft_len;        /* length of flat device tree */

    ulong        initrd_start;
    ulong        initrd_end;
    ulong        cmdline_start;
    ulong        cmdline_end;
    bd_t        *kbd;
#endif

    int        verify;        /* getenv("verify")[0] != 'n' */

#define    BOOTM_STATE_START    (0x00000001)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FINDOS    (0x00000002)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER    (0x00000004)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_LOADOS    (0x00000008)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_RAMDISK    (0x00000010)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FDT        (0x00000020)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_CMDLINE    (0x00000040)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_BD_T    (0x00000080)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP    (0x00000100)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_FAKE_GO    (0x00000200)    /* 'Almost' run the OS */
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO    (0x00000400)
    int        state;

#ifdef CONFIG_LMB
    struct lmb    lmb;        /* for memory mgmt */
#endif
} bootm_headers_t;

bootm_headers_t用于Legacy或设备树(FDT)方式镜像的启动,其中包括了os/initrd/fdt images的信息。我们这里大概介绍一下和这个结构体的成员变量:

  • legacy_hdr_os:Legacy-uImage的镜像头;
  • legacy_hdr_os_copy:Legacy-uImage的镜像头备份;
  • fit_uname_cfg:配置节点名;
  • fit_hdr_os:FIT-uImage中kernel镜像头;
  • fit_uname_os:FIT-uImag中kernel的节点名;
  • fit_noffset_os:FIT-uImage中kernel的节点偏移;
  • fit_hdr_rd:FIT-uImage中ramdisk的镜像头;
  • fit_uname_rd:FIT-uImage中ramdisk的节点名;
  • fit_noffset_rd:FIT-uImage中ramdisk的节点偏移;
  • fit_hdr_fdt:FIT-uImage中FDT的镜像头;
  • fit_uname_fdt:FIT-uImage中FDT的节点名;
  • fit_noffset_fdt:FIT-uImage中FDT的节点偏移;
  • os:操作系统信息的结构体,比如内核镜像在内存的起始地址、以及大小;
  • ep:操作系统的入口地址;
  • rd_start:ramdisk在内存上的起始地址;
  • rd_end:ramdisk在内存上的结束地址
  • ft_addr:fdt在内存上的地址;
  • ft_len:fdt在内存上的长度;
  • verify:是否需要验证;
  • state:状态标识,用于标识对应的bootm需要做什么操作;

其中 legacy_hdr_os是image_header_t类型。这个结构尤为重要,下面来介绍。

2.2 (include/image.h)

/*
 * Legacy format image header,
 * all data in network byte order (aka natural aka bigendian).
 */
typedef struct image_header {
    __be32        ih_magic;    /* Image Header Magic Number    */
    __be32        ih_hcrc;    /* Image Header CRC Checksum    */
    __be32        ih_time;    /* Image Creation Timestamp    */
    __be32        ih_size;    /* Image Data Size        */
    __be32        ih_load;    /* Data     Load  Address        */
    __be32        ih_ep;        /* Entry Point Address        */
    __be32        ih_dcrc;    /* Image Data CRC Checksum    */
    uint8_t        ih_os;        /* Operating System        */
    uint8_t        ih_arch;    /* CPU architecture        */
    uint8_t        ih_type;    /* Image Type            */
    uint8_t        ih_comp;    /* Compression Type        */
    uint8_t        ih_name[IH_NMLEN];    /* Image Name        */
} image_header_t;

比较重要的成员有:

  • ih_magic:镜像的魔数,用来给uboot判断是什么格式的镜像(zImage、uImage等);
  • ih_ep:镜像的入口;
  • inj_os:镜像的系统;

2.3 状态说明

do_bootm_states的state参数是一大堆的标志宏,这些标志宏就是u-boot启动时需要的阶段,每个阶段都有一个宏来表示。

#define    BOOTM_STATE_START    (0x00000001)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FINDOS    (0x00000002)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER    (0x00000004)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_LOADOS    (0x00000008)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_RAMDISK    (0x00000010)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_FDT        (0x00000020)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_CMDLINE    (0x00000040)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_BD_T    (0x00000080)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP    (0x00000100)
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_FAKE_GO    (0x00000200)    /* 'Almost' run the OS */
#define    BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO    (0x00000400)
  • BOOTM_STATE_START :开始执行bootm的一些准备动作;
  • BOOTM_STATE_FINDOS :查找操作系统镜像;
  • BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER :查找操作系统镜像外的其它镜像,比如FDT、ramdisk等;
  • BOOTM_STATE_LOADOS :加载操作系统;
  • BOOTM_STATE_RAMDISK :操作ramdisk;
  • BOOTM_STATE_FDT :操作FDT;
  • BOOTM_STATE_OS_CMDLINE :操作commandline;
  • BOOTM_STATE_OS_BD_T :跳转到操作系统的前的准备动作;
  • BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP :执行跳转前的准备动作 ;
  • BOOTM_STATE_OS_FAKE_GO :伪跳转,一般都能直接跳转到kernel中去
  • BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO :设置启动参数,跳转到kernel所在的地址上 ;

do_bootm_states根据states来判断要执行的操作。在这些流程中,起传递作用的是bootm_headers_t images这个数据结构,有些流程是解析镜像,往这个结构体里写数据。 而跳转的时候,则需要使用到这个结构体里面的数据。

2.4 do_bootm_states函数执行流程

/**
 * Execute selected states of the bootm command.
 *
 * Note the arguments to this state must be the first argument, Any 'bootm'
 * or sub-command arguments must have already been taken.
 *
 * Note that if states contains more than one flag it MUST contain
 * BOOTM_STATE_START, since this handles and consumes the command line args.
 *
 * Also note that aside from boot_os_fn functions and bootm_load_os no other
 * functions we store the return value of in 'ret' may use a negative return
 * value, without special handling.
 *
 * @param cmdtp        Pointer to bootm command table entry
 * @param flag        Command flags (CMD_FLAG_...)
 * @param argc        Number of subcommand arguments (0 = no arguments)
 * @param argv        Arguments
 * @param states    Mask containing states to run (BOOTM_STATE_...)
 * @param images    Image header information
 * @param boot_progress 1 to show boot progress, 0 to not do this
 * @return 0 if ok, something else on error. Some errors will cause this
 *    function to perform a reboot! If states contains BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO
 *    then the intent is to boot an OS, so this function will not return
 *    unless the image type is standalone.

代码具体执行流程:

  • 初始化images->state|=states;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_START进行与操作,通过执行bootm_start;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_FINDOS进行与操作,通过执行bootm_find_os;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER进行与操作,通过执行bootm_find_other;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_LOADOS进行与操作,通过关闭中断,执行bootm_load_os;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP进行与操作,通过执行boot_fn;
  • states跟宏BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO进行与操作,通过执行boot_selected_os;

boot_selected_os,这函数里面就执行do_bootm_linux跳转到我们的内核去运行了,如无意外,到了这里一般情况下就不返回了。

我们根据状态参数,绘制出这个函数的执行流程:

2.5 bootm_start(common/bootm.c)

static int bootm_start(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc,
               char * const argv[])
{
    memset((void *)&images, 0, sizeof(images));
    images.verify = getenv_yesno("verify");

    boot_start_lmb(&images);

    bootstage_mark_name(BOOTSTAGE_ID_BOOTM_START, "bootm_start");
    images.state = BOOTM_STATE_START;

    return 0;
}

代码具体执行流程:

  • 清空images结构体;
  • 获取环境遍历verify,并赋值给images.verify;
  • 执行boot_start_lmb()初始化images.lmb;
  • 执行bootstage_mark_name,记录启动阶段的名字;
  • 设置images.state = BOOTM_STATE_START;

2.6 bootm_find_os(common/bootm.c)

 

 

static int bootm_find_os(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc,

代码具体执行流程:

  • boot_get_kernel函数获取内核镜像在内存地址和大小:
    • genimg_get_kernel_addr_fit获取内核真是地址,也就是我们传入的0x30000000参数;
    • genimg_get_image解析0x30000000这个地址,如果这个地址位于dataflash storage,将会将内核镜像加载到RAM中;
    • genimg_get_format获取内核镜像头信息,它是在 zImage 之前加上一个长度为0x40的头信息(tag)(也就是说uImage 是一个二进制文件),在头信息内说明了该镜像文件的类型、加载 位置、生成时间、大小等信息;镜像文件的类型有多种:传统格式,FIT格式和安卓格式等;

    • 然后初始化images.os.image_start和images.os.image_len,如果是FIT格式,还会初始化images中部分与fit相关的字段;
  • 根据返回的头部信息指针,我们去获取到内核想信息并复制给images.os的各个成员,包括内核类型type,内核压缩方式comp,内核是什么操作系统os,内核要装载到内存的哪个位置load,内核是什么体系架构arch,为以后的工作做准备,这里要说明一下,现在内核所在的内存地址是uboot所指定,而内核启动的内存地址不一定在这里,是在laod成员所执行的地址,后面需要把整个镜像拷贝到这里;

  • 最后将images.os.load赋值给images.ep,其实就是内核的启动地址了;
