之前讲过console ---> fbcon ---> fbdev drivers ---> hardware,这个flow的fbdev drivers的产生,
从video/console下面的makefile
obj-$(CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE) += dummycon.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE) += newport_con.o
obj-$(CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE) += sticon.o sticore.o
obj-$(CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) += vgacon.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE) += mdacon.o
obj-$(CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE) += fbcon.o bitblit.o softcursor.o
ifeq ($(CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING),y)
obj-$(CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE) += tileblit.o
endif
ifeq ($(CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION),y)
obj-$(CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE) += fbcon_rotate.o fbcon_cw.o fbcon_ud.o \
fbcon_ccw.o
endif
obj-$(CONFIG_FB_STI) += sticore.o
可以看到如果要使用用fbcon的话,必须打开CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE。从这样看fbcon的入口就在fbcon.c 中
static int __init fb_console_init(void)
{
int i;
console_lock();
fb_register_client(&fbcon_event_notifier);
//device_create 会在/sys/class下面生成fbcon这个device
fbcon_device = device_create(fb_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), NULL,
"fbcon");
if (IS_ERR(fbcon_device)) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "Unable to create device "
"for fbcon; errno = %ld\n",
PTR_ERR(fbcon_device));
fbcon_device = NULL;
} else
fbcon_init_device();
for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_CONSOLES; i++)
con2fb_map[i] = -1;
console_unlock();
fbcon_start();
return 0;
}
fs_initcall(fb_console_init);
可见是在kernel 初始化阶段就调用fb_console_init。最后调用fbcon_start
static void fbcon_start(void)
{
if (num_registered_fb) {
int i;
console_lock();
for (i = 0; i < FB_MAX; i++) {
if (registered_fb[i] != NULL) {
info_idx = i;
break;
}
}
do_fbcon_takeover(0);
console_unlock();
}
}
在fbcon_start 调用do_fbcon_takeover 来将console从dummy切换到fbcon,需要注意的是在调用do_fbcon_takeover的前后用console_lock/console_unlock 包起来了,
static int do_fbcon_takeover(int show_logo)
{
int err, i;
if (!num_registered_fb)
return -ENODEV;
if (!show_logo)
logo_shown = FBCON_LOGO_DONTSHOW;
for (i = first_fb_vc; i <= last_fb_vc; i++)
con2fb_map[i] = info_idx;
err = do_take_over_console(&fb_con, first_fb_vc, last_fb_vc,
fbcon_is_default);
if (err) {
for (i = first_fb_vc; i <= last_fb_vc; i++)
con2fb_map[i] = -1;
info_idx = -1;
} else {
fbcon_has_console_bind = 1;
}
return err;
}
在do_fbcon_takeover 中继续调用do_take_over_console,注意这个函数的第一个参数是fb_con ,这个fb_con 也是在drivers/video/console/fbcon.c中定义
继续看do_take_over_console
int do_take_over_console(const struct consw *csw, int first, int last, int deflt)
{
int err;
err = do_register_con_driver(csw, first, last);
/*
* If we get an busy error we still want to bind the console driver
* and return success, as we may have unbound the console driver
* but not unregistered it.
*/
if (err == -EBUSY)
err = 0;
if (!err)
do_bind_con_driver(csw, first, last, deflt);
return err;
}
在do_take_over_console 中可以看到分为两步,第一步是注册fbcon,第二部是将vtcon bind到fbcon
我们先看第一个
static int do_register_con_driver(const struct consw *csw, int first, int last)
{
struct module *owner = csw->owner;
struct con_driver *con_driver;
const char *desc;
int i, retval;
WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED();
if (!try_module_get(owner))
return -ENODEV;
for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_CON_DRIVER; i++) {
con_driver = ®istered_con_driver[i];
/* already registered */
if (con_driver->con == csw) {
retval = -EBUSY;
goto err;
}
}
desc = csw->con_startup();
if (!desc) {
retval = -ENODEV;
goto err;
}
retval = -EINVAL;
//对con_driver进行初始化。而con_driver= ®istered_con_driver[i];
for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_CON_DRIVER; i++) {
con_driver = ®istered_con_driver[i];
if (con_driver->con == NULL &&
!(con_driver->flag & CON_DRIVER_FLAG_ZOMBIE)) {
con_driver->con = csw;//这里的csw就是fbcon
con_driver->desc = desc;
con_driver->node = i;
con_driver->flag = CON_DRIVER_FLAG_MODULE |
CON_DRIVER_FLAG_INIT;
con_driver->first = first;
con_driver->last = last;
retval = 0;
break;
}
}
if (retval)
goto err;
// 这样就可以在看到/sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon 这个目录
con_driver->dev =
device_create_with_groups(vtconsole_class, NULL,
MKDEV(0, con_driver->node),
con_driver, con_dev_groups,
"vtcon%i", con_driver->node);
if (IS_ERR(con_driver->dev)) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "Unable to create device for %s; "
"errno = %ld\n", con_driver->desc,
PTR_ERR(con_driver->dev));
con_driver->dev = NULL;
} else {
vtconsole_init_device(con_driver);
}
err:
module_put(owner);
return retval;
}
初始化完con_driver,并通过device_create_with_groups在/sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon建立目录后,fbcon就算注册完了。
回到do_take_over_console 中继续调用do_bind_con_driver来bind driver
static int do_bind_con_driver(const struct consw *csw, int first, int last,
int deflt)
{
struct module *owner = csw->owner;
const char *desc = NULL;
struct con_driver *con_driver;
int i, j = -1, k = -1, retval = -ENODEV;
if (!try_module_get(owner))
return -ENODEV;
WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED();
//检测driver是否已经注册了
/* check if driver is registered */
for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_CON_DRIVER; i++) {
con_driver = ®istered_con_driver[i];
if (con_driver->con == csw) {
desc = con_driver->desc;
retval = 0;
break;
}
}
if (retval)
goto err;
//如果没有初始化,就调用con_startup()
if (!(con_driver->flag & CON_DRIVER_FLAG_INIT)) {
csw->con_startup();
con_driver->flag |= CON_DRIVER_FLAG_INIT;
}
if (deflt) {
if (conswitchp)
module_put(conswitchp->owner);
__module_get(owner);
conswitchp = csw;
}
first = max(first, con_driver->first);
last = min(last, con_driver->last);
for (i = first; i <= last; i++) {
int old_was_color;
struct vc_data *vc = vc_cons[i].d;
if (con_driver_map[i])
module_put(con_driver_map[i]->owner);
__module_get(owner);
con_driver_map[i] = csw;
if (!vc || !vc->vc_sw)
continue;
j = i;
if (con_is_visible(vc)) {
k = i;
save_screen(vc);
}
old_was_color = vc->vc_can_do_color;
vc->vc_sw->con_deinit(vc);
vc->vc_origin = (unsigned long)vc->vc_screenbuf;
visual_init(vc, i, 0);
set_origin(vc);
update_attr(vc);
/* If the console changed between mono <-> color, then
* the attributes in the screenbuf will be wrong. The
* following resets all attributes to something sane.
*/
if (old_was_color != vc->vc_can_do_color)
clear_buffer_attributes(vc);
}
// 从开机log中能看到vtcon已经切换过来了
pr_info("Console: switching ");
if (!deflt)
printk(KERN_CONT "consoles %d-%d ", first+1, last+1);
if (j >= 0) {
struct vc_data *vc = vc_cons[j].d;
printk(KERN_CONT "to %s %s %dx%d\n",
vc->vc_can_do_color ? "colour" : "mono",
desc, vc->vc_cols, vc->vc_rows);
if (k >= 0) {
vc = vc_cons[k].d;
update_screen(vc);
}
} else
printk(KERN_CONT "to %s\n", desc);
retval = 0;
err:
module_put(owner);
return retval;
}
