从Linux2.6开始Linux加入了一套驱动管理和注册机制—platform平台总线驱动模型。platform平台总线是一条虚拟总线,platform_device为相应的设备,platform_driver为相应的驱动。与传统的bus/device/driver机制相比,platform由内核统一进行管理,提高了代码的可移植性和安全性。所谓的platform_device并不是与字符设备、块设备和网络设备并列的概念,而是Linux系统提供的一种附加手段。Linux总线设备驱动模型的框架如下图所示:
从图中我们可以很清楚的看出Linux平台总线设备驱动模型的整体架构。在总线设备驱动模型中,需关心总线、设备和驱动这3个实体,总线将设备和驱动绑定。当系统向内核注册每一个驱动程序时,都要通过调用platform_driver_register函数将驱动程序注册到总线,并将其放入所属总线的drv链表中,注册驱动的时候会调用所属总线的match函数寻找该总线上与之匹配的每一个设备,如果找到与之匹配的设备则会调用相应的probe函数将相应的设备和驱动进行绑定;同样的当系统向内核注册每一个设备时,都要通过调用platform_device_register函数将设备注册到总线,并将其放入所属总线的dev链表中,注册设备的时候同样也会调用所属总线的match函数寻找该总线上与之匹配的每一个驱动程序,如果找到与之匹配的驱动程序时会调用相应的probe函数将相应的设备和驱动进行绑定;而这一匹配的过程是由总线自动完成的。
接下来我们就以Linux-3.14.27版本的内核,分析一下总线设备驱动模型的执行机制。
struct platform_driver {
int (*probe)(struct platform_device *);
int (*remove)(struct platform_device *);
void (*shutdown)(struct platform_device *);
int (*suspend)(struct platform_device *, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume)(struct platform_device *);
struct device_driver driver;
const struct platform_device_id *id_table;
bool prevent_deferred_probe;
};
可以看到platform_driver结构体中包含了probe和remove等相关操作,同时还内嵌了device_driver结构体。
struct device_driver {
const char *name; // 驱动的名字
struct bus_type *bus; // 所属总线
struct module *owner;
const char *mod_name; /* used for built-in modules */
bool suppress_bind_attrs; /* disables bind/unbind via sysfs */
const struct of_device_id *of_match_table;
const struct acpi_device_id *acpi_match_table;
int (*probe) (struct device *dev); // 驱动挂载的时候调用
int (*remove) (struct device *dev); // 驱动卸载的时候调用
void (*shutdown) (struct device *dev);
int (*suspend) (struct device *dev, pm_message_t state);
int (*resume) (struct device *dev);
const struct attribute_group **groups;
const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;
struct driver_private *p;
};
其中有一个指向driver_private的指针p,一些与其他的组件相关的联系都被移到这个结构变量中。
struct driver_private {
struct kobject kobj; // 在sysfs中代表目录本身
struct klist klist_devices; // 驱动链表即我们上面所说的drv链表
struct klist_node knode_bus; // 挂载在总线上的驱动链表的节点
struct module_kobject *mkobj; // driver与相关的module之间的联系
struct device_driver *driver;
};
#define to_driver(obj) container_of(obj, struct driver_private, kobj)
struct platform_device {
const char *name; // 设备的名字这将代替device->dev_id,用作sys/device下显示的目录名
int id; // 设备id,用于给插入给该总线并且具有相同name的设备编号,如果只有一个设备的话填-1。
bool id_auto;
struct device dev; // 内嵌device结构
u32 num_resources; // 资源的数目
struct resource *resource; // 资源
const struct platform_device_id *id_entry;
/* MFD cell pointer */
struct mfd_cell *mfd_cell;
/* arch specific additions */
struct pdev_archdata archdata;
};
可以看出platform_device结构体中包含了名字、id、资源和内嵌device结构体。
2. resource结构体
struct resource {
resource_size_t start; // 资源的起始地址
resource_size_t end; // 资源的结束地址
const char *name;
unsigned long flags; // 资源的类型
struct resource *parent, *sibling, *child;
};
platform_driver *drv; // 定义一个平台驱动并初始化
platform_driver_register(drv) // 注册
