Linux内核启动：setup_arch

BootLoader 可以向Linux 传递参数，编译内核时也可以配置boot options 。

调试中使用的U-Boot bootargs如下：

noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock3 rw console=ttySAC0,115200 init=/linuxrc mem=64M

内核版本：

2.6.35.7

内核的处理参数的整体过程如下：

① u-boot将配置参数地址通过寄存器传递给内核

② 内核(arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S中的 __mmap_switched)将这个地址存入__atags_pointer(定义于arch/arm/kernel/setup.c)

③ setup_arch() 函数

一．u-boot传递TAG到kernel的解析

在setup_arch函数的parse_tags中对传递过来的TAGLIST进行了解析

对每一项的tag使用parse_tag分析，

for (t = &__tagtable_begin; t < &__tagtable_end; t++)

if (tag->hdr.tag == t->tag) {

t->parse(tag);

break;

}

其中__tagtable_begin,__tagtable_end在vmlinux.ld中也有定义，这里看tagtable的建立过程

#define __tagtalbe(tag,fn)/

Static struct tagtable __tagtable_##fn __tag={tag,fn}

#define __tag __userd __attribute__((__section__(“.taglist.init”)))

对于上述宏中的fn,就是tagtable结构中的parse指针所指向的函数。

而在setup.c中，已经通过__tagtalbe(ATAG_XXX,XXX)建立起所有可能的tagtable,所以可以通过遍历__tagtable_begin~__tagtable_end找到对应的tagtable,并调用对应的parse进行解析并配置
