#define DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, name) \ __attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) \ PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES __typeof__(type) per_cpu__##name 在x86和ARM中,PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES定义为空宏,所以 static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct runqueue, runqueues); 会扩展成 __attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct runqueue) per_cpu__runqueues; 也就是在.data.percpu这个section中定义了一个变量per_cpu__runqueues,其类型是struct runqueue。 事实上,这里所谓的变量per_cpu__runqueues,其实就是相对于__per_cpu_start的偏移量。(在x86中是段+偏移的寻址方式,在ARM中如何?) |
初始化函数
在start_kernel()函数中会调用setup_per_cpu_areas()
#ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA unsigned long __per_cpu_offset[NR_CPUS] __read_mostly; EXPORT_SYMBOL(__per_cpu_offset);一个全局变量 static void __init setup_per_cpu_areas(void) { unsigned long size, i; char *ptr; unsigned long nr_possible_cpus = num_possible_cpus(); /* Copy section for each CPU (we discard the original) */ size = ALIGN(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM, PAGE_SIZE); ptr = alloc_bootmem_pages(size * nr_possible_cpus); for_each_possible_cpu(i) { __per_cpu_offset[i] = ptr - __per_cpu_start; memcpy(ptr, __per_cpu_start, __per_cpu_end - __per_cpu_start); ptr += size; } } #endif /* CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA */ 在该函数中,为每个CPU分配一段内存,并将.data.percpu中的数据拷贝到其中,每个CPU各有一份,其中CPU n对应的专有数据区的首地址为__per_cpu_offset[n]。这样,前述相应于__per_cpu_start的偏移量 per_cpu__runqueues就变成了相应于__per_cpu_offset[n]的偏移量,这样.data.percpu这个section 在系统初始化后就可以释放了。 |

操作函数、宏
#define per_cpu(var, cpu) \ (*SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR(&per_cpu_var(var), per_cpu_offset(cpu))) 所以这个宏展开为: #define per_cpu(var,cpu)\ (*RELOC_HIDE(&per_cpu_varvar,cpu_pda(cpu)->data_offset)) 即: per_cpu_varvar[cpu_pda(cpu)->data_offset] 因此,per_cpu这个宏的功能是:为cpu选择一个 每CPU数组元素,数组名为per_cpu__varvar. |
