Arm-linux的进程调度（2）
接着上一篇，看过上一篇的还记得这段吗？
/* Here we just switch the register state and the stack. */
switch_to(prev, next, prev);
barrier();
/*
* this_rq must be evaluated again because prev may have moved
* CPUs since it called schedule(), thus the 'rq' on its stack
* frame will be invalid.
*/
finish_task_switch(this_rq(), prev);
这一部分，下篇再说。
1、先看
/* Here we just switch the register state and the stack. */
switch_to(prev, next, prev);
看着段注释也能明白差不多吧。先列出其源码，如下所示：
/*
* switch_to(prev, next) should switch from task `prev' to `next'
* `prev' will never be the same as `next'. schedule() itself
* contains the memory barrier to tell GCC not to cache `current'.
*/
extern struct task_struct *__switch_to(struct task_struct *, struct thread_info *, struct thread_info *);
#define switch_to(prev,next,last) \
do { \
last = __switch_to(prev,task_thread_info(prev), task_thread_info(next)); \
} while (0)
主要是个宏，do{ }while(0)应该不用说了，大家都明白。继续展开，如下所示：
/*
* Register switch for ARMv3 and ARMv4 processors
* r0 = previous task_struct, r1 = previous thread_info, r2 = next thread_info
* previous and next are guaranteed not to be the same.
*/
这里出入的参数是thread_info结构体。从这个宏得到
#define task_thread_info(task) ((struct thread_info *)(task)->stack)
thread_info结构体源码如下：
/*
* low level task data that entry.S needs immediate access to.
* __switch_to() assumes cpu_context follows immediately after cpu_domain.
*/
struct thread_info {
unsigned long flags; /* low level flags */
int preempt_count; /* 0 => preemptable, <0 => bug */
mm_segment_t addr_limit; /* address limit */
struct task_struct *task; /* main task structure */
struct exec_domain *exec_domain; /* execution domain */
__u32 cpu; /* cpu */
__u32 cpu_domain; /* cpu domain */
struct cpu_context_save cpu_context; /* cpu context */
__u32 syscall; /* syscall number */
__u8 used_cp[16]; /* thread used copro */
unsigned long tp_value;
struct crunch_state crunchstate;
union fp_state fpstate __attribute__((aligned(8)));
union vfp_state vfpstate;
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE
unsigned long thumbee_state; /* ThumbEE Handler Base register */
#endif
struct restart_block restart_block;
};
其中的成员struct cpu_context_save cpu_context; /* cpu context */结构体源码如下：
struct cpu_context_save {
__u32 r4;
__u32 r5;
__u32 r6;
__u32 r7;
__u32 r8;
__u32 r9;
__u32 sl;
__u32 fp;
__u32 sp;
__u32 pc;
__u32 extra[2]; /* Xscale 'acc' register, etc */
};
代表寄存器的结构体。
ENTRY(__switch_to)
add ip, r1, #TI_CPU_SAVE
ldr r3, [r2, #TI_TP_VALUE]
stmia ip!, {r4 - sl, fp, sp, lr} @ Store most regs on stack
#ifdef CONFIG_MMU
ldr r6, [r2, #TI_CPU_DOMAIN]
#endif
#if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_32v6K
clrex
#else
strex r5, r4, [ip] @ Clear exclusive monitor
#endif
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG)
mcr p15, 0, r3, c13, c0, 3 @ set TLS register
#elif !defined(CONFIG_TLS_REG_EMUL)
mov r4, #0xffff0fff
str r3, [r4, #-15] @ TLS val at 0xffff0ff0
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_MMU
mcr p15, 0, r6, c3, c0, 0 @ Set domain register
#endif
mov r5, r0
add r4, r2, #TI_CPU_SAVE
ldr r0, =thread_notify_head
mov r1, #THREAD_NOTIFY_SWITCH
bl atomic_notifier_call_chain
mov r0, r5
ldmia r4, {r4 - sl, fp, sp, pc} @ Load all regs saved previously
ENDPROC(__switch_to)
这里所做的主要是保存原来进程的寄存器，还有切换堆栈指针。
