这段代码是用来建立一级页表的。这个初始页表是给接下来要运行的kernel代码用的。因为内核代码用的都是虚拟地址,在使用之前我们必须要建立MMU。这里的MMU只需要建立的页表能识别内核代码这部分的虚拟地址就够了,也就是从KERNEL_START到KERNEL_END部分。
#define KERNEL_RAM_VADDR (PAGE_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET)
#define KERNEL_RAM_PADDR (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET)
#if (KERNEL_RAM_VADDR & 0xffff) != 0x8000
#error KERNEL_RAM_VADDR must start at 0xXXXX8000
#endif
.globl swapper_pg_dir
.equ swapper_pg_dir, KERNEL_RAM_VADDR - 0x4000
.macro pgtbl, rd
ldr \rd, =(KERNEL_RAM_PADDR - 0x4000)
.endm
#ifdef CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL
#define KERNEL_START XIP_VIRT_ADDR(CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR)
#define KERNEL_END _edata_loc
#else
#define KERNEL_START KERNEL_RAM_VADDR
#define KERNEL_END _end
#endif
从上述代码我们可以看出,KERNEL_START就是c0008000,KERNEL_END等于_end。_end我们可以从vmlinux.lds.S中找到踪迹。
另外需要强调的是,这里建立的MMU 页表是一级页表的,是以1M为单位的;二级页表(4K)不是在这里建立的。Arm一级页表的转换关系如下:
从上图可以看出,一级页表描述符的内容是物理地址段(物理地址前12位)和一些MMU管理位合成的;一级页表描述符的地址是由页表地址基地址(31-14位)和虚拟地址前12位(31-20)合成的,它的最后两位都是零,满足32位地址对齐的方式。
建立一级页表的过程就是将每一个一级页表描述符(1M为单位)填入到每一个一级页表描述符的地址。
