标题:
Android arm Linux Kernel启动流程(6)
这个过程是判断我们解压出的vmlinx会不会覆盖原来的zImage,这里的final kernel address就是解压后的kernel要存放的地址,而start of this image则是zImage在内存中的地址。根据我们前面的分析,现在这两个地址是重复的,即都是0x00208000。同样r2是我们申请的一段内存空间,因为他是在sp上申请的,而根据vmlinx.lds我们知道stack实际上处与vmlinx的最上面,所以r4>=r2是不可能的,这里首先计算zImage的大小,然后判断r4+r3是不是比r5小,很明显r4和r5的值是一样的,所以这里先将r2的值赋给r0,经kernel先解压到s申请的内存空间上面,具体的解压过程就不描述了,定义在misc.c里面。(这里我所说的上面是指内存地址的高地址,默认载入的时候从低地址往高地址写,所以从内存低地址开始运行,stack处于最后面,所以成说是最上面)
* r0 = decompressed kernel length
* r1-r3 = unused
* r4 = kernel execution address
* r5 = decompressed kernel start
* r6 = processor ID
* r7 = architecture ID
* r8 = atags pointer
* r9-r14 = corrupted
*/
add r1, r5, r0 @ end of decompressed kernel
adr r2, reloc_start
ldr r3, LC1
add r3, r2, r3
1: ldmia r2!, {r9 - r14} @ copy relocation code
stmia r1!, {r9 - r14}
ldmia r2!, {r9 - r14}
stmia r1!, {r9 - r14}
cmp r2, r3
blo 1b
add sp, r1, #128 @ relocate the stack
bl cache_clean_flush
add pc, r5, r0 @ call relocation code
因为没有将kernel解压在要求的地址,所以必须重定向,说穿了就是要将解压的kernel拷贝到正确的地址,因为正确的地址与zImage的地址是重合的,而要拷贝我们又要执行zImage的重定位代码,所以这里首先将重定位代码reloc_start拷贝到vmlinx上面,然后再将vmlinx拷贝到正确的地址并覆盖掉zImage。这里首先计算出解压后的vmlinux的高地址放在r1里面,r2存放着重定位代码的首地址,r3存放着重定位代码的size,这样通过拷贝就将reloc_start移动到vmlinx后面去了,然后跳转到重定位代码开始执行。
