在内存系统初始化过程中,有如下代码:
1: static void __init pagetable_init(void)
2: {
3: pgd_t *pgd_base = swapper_pg_dir;
4:
5: permanent_kmaps_init(pgd_base);
6: }
这里,我们看到了神秘的swapper_pg_dir,全局搜索一下,发现了
1: /*
2: * Build a proper pagetable for the kernel mappings. Up until this
3: * point, we've been running on some set of pagetables constructed by
4: * the boot process.
5: *
6: * If we're booting on native hardware, this will be a pagetable
7: * constructed in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S. The root of the
8: * pagetable will be swapper_pg_dir.
9: *
10: * If we're booting paravirtualized under a hypervisor, then there are
11: * more options: we may already be running PAE, and the pagetable may
12: * or may not be based in swapper_pg_dir. In any case,
13: * paravirt_pagetable_setup_start() will set up swapper_pg_dir
14: * appropriately for the rest of the initialization to work.
15: *
16: * In general, pagetable_init() assumes that the pagetable may already
17: * be partially populated, and so it avoids stomping on any existing
18: * mappings.

20: void __init early_ioremap_page_table_range_init(void)
21: {
22: pgd_t *pgd_base = swapper_pg_dir;
23: unsigned long vaddr, end;
24:
25: /*
26: * Fixed mappings, only the page table structure has to be

29: vaddr = __fix_to_virt(__end_of_fixed_addresses - 1) & PMD_MASK;
30: end = (FIXADDR_TOP + PMD_SIZE - 1) & PMD_MASK;

32: early_ioremap_reset();
33: }
在head_32.S中,定义了如下的BSS段,BSS段是在内核映像文件中不占空间,但是在内核被加载到内存时,会保留相应的空间。
在BSS段,一共保留了4个页面的空间,分别用initial_page_table, initial_pg_fixmap, empty_zero_page和swapper_pg_dir来标志其地址。
1: /*
2: * BSS section
3: */
4: __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS
5: .align PAGE_SIZE
6: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
7: initial_pg_pmd:
8: .fill 1024*KPMDS,4,0
9: #else
10: ENTRY(initial_page_table)
11: .fill 1024,4,0
12: #endif
13: initial_pg_fixmap:
14: .fill 1024,4,0
15: ENTRY(empty_zero_page)
16: .fill 4096,1,0
17: ENTRY(swapper_pg_dir)
18: .fill 1024,4,0
通过如下代码,将initial_page_table设置为初始页目录
1: /*
2: * Enable paging
3: */
4: movl $pa(initial_page_table), %eax
5: movl %eax,%cr3 /* set the page table pointer.. */
6: movl %cr0,%eax
7: orl $X86_CR0_PG,%eax
8: movl %eax,%cr0 /* ..and set paging (PG) bit */
9: ljmp $__BOOT_CS,$1f /* Clear prefetch and normalize %eip */
在内核初始化阶段,setup_arch调用了如下的函数:
1: void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p)
2: {
3:
4: ......
5: /* max_pfn_mapped is updated here */
6: max_low_pfn_mapped = init_memory_mapping(0, max_low_pfn<7: max_pfn_mapped = max_low_pfn_mapped;
8: ......
9: x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_start(swapper_pg_dir);
10: paging_init();
11: x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_done(swapper_pg_dir);
12:
13: ......
14: }
init_memory_mapping调用了kernel_physical_mapping_init,初始化swapper_pg_dir
1: /*
2: * This maps the physical memory to kernel virtual address space, a total
3: * of max_low_pfn pages, by creating page tables starting from address

将swapper_pg_dir作为页目录地址,赋给pgd_base
start_pfn = start >> PAGE_SHIFT;
end_pfn = end >> PAGE_SHIFT;
start和end代表着,内核直接映射的虚拟地址区域的开始物理地址和结束物理地址,通过右移PAGE_SHIFT位,再加上PAGE_OFFSET,得到其对应的页表项索引。
pgd_idx = pgd_index((pfn<
pgd = pgd_base + pgd_idx;
pgd_idx,pgd代表着在页目录中的索引,以及相应的页目录项
1: pgprot_t prot = PAGE_KERNEL;
2: /*
3: * first pass will use the same initial
4: * identity mapping attribute.

14: last_map_addr = (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) + PAGE_SIZE;
15: } else
16: set_pte(pte, pfn_pte(pfn, prot));
最后,通过两个回合的遍历,将属性设置到对应的页表项上去。
