一、背景
linux 内核启动过程中，start_kernel()函数是分析Linux内核的切入点。小生想着对start_kernel函数体中一连串的函数调用过程进行分析和学习。也计划将这些输出、总结成相应文档和笔记。本篇文章作为《start_kernel详解系列》的开篇笔记。于是便有了本篇文章。
【实验环境】
- linux内核版本：
4.1.15 - 开发环境：ubuntu 18.4
- 运行平台：nxp - imx6ull
二、start_kernel函数打印信息概览
在本文中，小生将linux内核向终端打印出的消息作为分析概览，并使用printk()函数在源码相应位置打印出对应的标记信息。如下所示：

[5]===================================================

VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:15.
devtmpfs: mounted
[7]===================================================
Freeing unused kernel memory: 396K (8091b000 - 8097e000)
三、linux启动早期打印的信息
在4.1.15版本的linux内核中，start_kernel()函数最后会调用rest_init()执行剩下的启动操作。那么就在该函数上方使用printk()打印出第一条信息：
asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void)
{
char *command_line;
char *after_dashes;
/* 中间省略大量函数调用*/
printk("\r\n[1]===================================================\r\n");
rest_init();
}
从打印出的信息来开，linux启动后直到rest_init()函数调用之前打印出的信息位于【1-45】行。
四、smp_prepare_cpus()打印出的信息
以下打印信息：
[2]===================================================
/cpus/cpu@0 missing clock-frequency property
CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000
[3]===================================================
在kernel_init_freeable()函数中：
printk("\r\n[2]===================================================\r\n");
smp_prepare_cpus(setup_max_cpus);
printk("\r\n[3]===================================================\r\n");
五、do_basic_setu()打印出的信息
在kernel_init_freeable()函数中：
printk("\r\n[4]===================================================\r\n");
do_basic_setup();
printk("\r\n[5]===================================================\r\n");
在4和5行之间的printk打印出的信息非常多，可以说占用了linux输出的大部分信息，这些信息都由do_basic_setup()函数实现。可见该函数在linux启动过程较为重要。
六、prepare_namespace()打印出的信息
在kernel_init_freeable()函数中：
printk("\r\n[6]===================================================\r\n");
prepare_namespace();
printk("\r\n[7]===================================================\r\n");
在6和7行之间的printk打印出的信息如下：
[6]===================================================
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:15.
devtmpfs: mounted
[7]===================================================
从打印出的信息来看，prepare_namespace()在linux内核启动过程中也比较重要，该函数实现linux根文件系统的挂载和处理。
七、释放内核没使用的内存
最后一条打印信息：
Freeing unused kernel memory: 396K (8091b000 - 8097e000)
在linux启动的后面阶段，将释放掉没有使用的内核内存。
八、启动用户空间进程
当根文件系统挂载完成后，linux将调用try_to_run_init_process()函数尝试启动用户空间进程。如果进程成功启动，就完成了内核空间向用户空间的转变过程。
九、总结
linux内核的启动主线较复杂，主线下的每一个模块分支展开的逻辑和关系网较庞大。在学习过程中，小生先从linux的形再到点逐一展开。注：不同linux版本以及不同内核配置情况，都会影响打印出的信息，但是主线中的关键几个地方是不会有太大改变，可以先对linux 内核启动过程有个形体上的概念和认识啦。
