算命先生不敢算哪些人:__init 的用法

来源:百度文库 编辑:中财网 时间:2024/04/29 00:04:29
在kernel中有很多__init,这个东东到底是何方神圣捏?且听小生我一一道来。
下面是其定义:
file:/include/linux/init.h
 43 #define __init      __attribute__ ((__section__ (".init.text"))) __cold
 44 #define __initdata  __attribute__ ((__section__ (".init.data")))
 45 #define __exitdata  __attribute__ ((__section__(".exit.data")))
 46 #define __exit_call __attribute_used__ __attribute__ ((__section__ (".exitcall.exit")))

也许你会问那 __attribute__ ((__section__ (".init.text"))) __cold是什么东东阿?
且看 info gcc C Extensions Attribute Syntax
section ("SECTION-NAME")'
     Normally, the compiler places the objects it generates in sections
     like `data' and `bss'.  Sometimes, however, you need additional
     sections, or you need certain particular variables to appear in
     special sections, for example to map to special hardware.  The
     `section' attribute specifies that a variable (or function) lives
     in a particular section.  For example, this small program uses
     several specific section names:
          struct duart a __attribute__ ((section ("DUART_A"))) = { 0 };
          struct duart b __attribute__ ((section ("DUART_B"))) = { 0 };
          char stack[10000] __attribute__ ((section ("STACK"))) = { 0 };
          int init_data __attribute__ ((section ("INITDATA"))) = 0;

          main()
          {
            /* Initialize stack pointer */
            init_sp (stack + sizeof (stack));

            /* Initialize initialized data */
            memcpy (&init_data, &data, &edata - &data);

            /* Turn on the serial ports */
            init_duart (&a);
            init_duart (&b);
          }

     Use the `section' attribute with an _initialized_ definition of a
     _global_ variable, as shown in the example.  GCC issues a warning
     and otherwise ignores the `section' attribute in uninitialized
     variable declarations.

     You may only use the `section' attribute with a fully initialized
     global definition because of the way linkers work.  The linker
     requires each object be defined once, with the exception that
     uninitialized variables tentatively go in the `common' (or `bss')
     section and can be multiply "defined".  You can force a variable
     to be initialized with the `-fno-common' flag or the `nocommon'
     attribute.

     Some file formats do not support arbitrary sections so the
     `section' attribute is not available on all platforms.  If you
     need to map the entire contents of a module to a particular
     section, consider using the facilities of the linker instead.

简单来说是指示gcc把标记的数据或者函数放到指定sector。
linux中把一些启动及初始化时候用的数据用__init标识,然后在适当的时候把它们释放,回收内存。
说到这个__init,就不能不说module_init,subsys_initcall。
在init.h中我们能够找到 #define subsys_initcall(fn)     __define_initcall("4",fn,4)
又是一个宏定义,简直是无极中的圆环套圆环之城阿。
file:/include/linux/init.h
100 /* initcalls are now grouped by functionality into separate
101  * subsections. Ordering inside the subsections is determined
102  * by link order.
103  * For backwards compatibility, initcall() puts the call in
104  * the device init subsection.
105  *
106  * The `id' arg to __define_initcall() is needed so that multiple initcalls
107  * can point at the same handler without causing duplicate-symbol build errors.
108  */
109

110 #define __define_initcall(level,fn,id) \
111     static initcall_t __initcall_##fn##id __attribute_used__ \
112     __attribute__((__section__(".initcall" level ".init"))) = fn


subsys_initcall(usb_init)转换后就变成了 static initcall_t  __initcall_usbinit4   __attribute_used__ \
__attribute__((__section__(".initcall 4.init"))) = usb_init
就是把usb_init的函数入口指针存放在.initcall4.init中。

那么系统是如何执行这些函数呢?
此话就长了阿~ 话说盘古开天芙蓉姐姐补天后我们来到了main.c这个linux中举足轻重的文件
进入start_kernel
start_kernel  -->rest_init() -->kernel_init()  --> do_basic_setup()  -->do_initcalls()

这个do_initcalls()就是调用这些函数的地方。
file:/init/main.c

664     initcall_t *call;
665     int count = preempt_count();

668         ktime_t t0, t1, delta;

696         }
697

699             sprintf(msgbuf, "error code %d", result);
700             msg = msgbuf;
701         }
702         if (preempt_count() != count) {
703             msg = "preemption imbalance";
