一、几个关键宏定义
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL、 CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE
容我慢慢道来, 首先要使能早期打印, menuconfig必须选中CONFIG_DEBUG_LL, 我们再慢慢梳理其他所以宏及代码
/* linux-3.10.65/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile */ obj-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) += debug.o obj-$(CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK) += early_printk.o
我们选中“Kernel low-level debugging functions (read help!)” 在linux-3.10.65/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug 中就是DEBUG_LL
在这个选项中发现还有个依赖的子菜单“Kernel low-level debugging port”, 里面有一堆宏定义如AT91_DEBUG_LL_DBGU0、AT91_DEBUG_LL_DBGU1、
这几个子选项用来干嘛呢? 一是代码文件debug.S(obj-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) += debug.o) 会根据子宏定义走不同的分支; 二是这个代码里会引用宏CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE,
这个宏在“linux-3.10.65/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug”中定义如下:
看到没? 子选项定义的DEBUG_BCM2835 在DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE中被依赖了, 也就是我们移植一个新平台, 需要在子选项定义新的宏, 然后在这添加依赖这个新宏对应的文件, 我们现在就这么做:
/* linux-3.10.65/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug */ choice prompt "Kernel low-level debugging port" depends on DEBUG_LL + config VEDIC_DEBUG_LL + bool "I just add a test macro" config AT91_DEBUG_LL_DBGU0 bool "Kernel low-level debugging on rm9200, 9260/9g20, 9261/9g10 and 9rl" depends on HAVE_AT91_DBGU0 config DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE string + default "debug/vedic.S" if VEDIC_DEBUG_LL default "debug/bcm2835.S" if DEBUG_BCM2835 default "debug/cns3xxx.S" if DEBUG_CNS3XXX
接下来我们在menuconfig选中VEDIC_DEBUG_LL宏和添加新文件vedic.S, 如下:
/* linux-3.10.65/.config */ +CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y +CONFIG_VEDIC_DEBUG_LL=y +CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="debug/vedic.S"
那这个vedic.S该怎么写呢? 我们看同目录下(linux-3.10.65/arch//arm/include/debug/)bcm2835.S文件写了什么:
/* * Debugging macro include header * * Copyright (C) 2010 Broadcom * Copyright (C) 1994-1999 Russell King * Moved from linux/arch/arm/kernel/debug.S by Ben Dooks * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as * published by the Free Software Foundation. * */ #define BCM2835_DEBUG_PHYS 0x20201000 #define BCM2835_DEBUG_VIRT 0xf0201000 .macro addruart, rp, rv, tmp ldr \rp, =BCM2835_DEBUG_PHYS ldr \rv, =BCM2835_DEBUG_VIRT .endm #include <asm/hardware/debug-pl01x.S>
没错, 就是提供一个函数而已 -> addruart(rp, rv, tmp) , 其实就是返回参数 -- 串口物理地址和串口虚拟地址, 为什么要提供虚拟地址呢? 因为在kernel C语言的第一个入口start_kernel()时, 汇编期间已经开启了MMU, CPU取的都是
虚拟地址; 该函数只是返回地址而已, 如果是开启MMU,返回虚拟地址还不够, 还要事前构建好页表, 不然根据虚拟地址也找不到物理地址。 至于具体在哪里构建页表, 待会说, 根据我目前的硬件平台, 提供文件代码如下:
/* linux-3.10.65/arch/arm/include/debug/vedic.S * phy_addr is fixed of hardware, but virt_addr? Why 0xF5368000 */ #define VEDIC_DEBUG_PHYS 0x70400000 #define VEDIC_DEBUG_VIRT 0xF5368000 .macro addruart, rp, rv, tmp ldr \rp, =VEDIC_DEBUG_PHYS ldr \rv, =VEDIC_DEBUG_VIRT .endm
二、源码分析
为方便待会分批解释功能我先贴出debug.S源码:
