(转)GNU ARM汇编(十七)uboot的makefile和mkconfig解读

自己写的bootloader可以引导kernel了,我以为曾经神秘的u-boot代码将变得毫无挑战,然事实表明u-boot作为优秀的开源代码,阅读起来还是很有挑战的,值得一读!

        阅读碰到的头等问题:Makefile和shell脚本看不懂...

        说起来做linux也很久了,Makefile和shell脚本都接触过,但真的都是略懂而已.因为公司的Makefile和shell简单的一眼望的对穿,很初级的写法,简单的应用.再随便在网上下个老外的开源代码,那个Makefile和shell复杂啊.一不留神想起来了qt的qmake根据工程文件生成的Makefile也是很简单,但qmake是人家老外写的.不说其他语言了,只看Makefile和shell，中外的差距就在那了.

        这次准备移植u-boot到tq2440上,选用的u-boot版本是u-boot-2012.07.

        下面是我对u-boot配置和编译的makefile mkconfig config.mk等文件的解读,有些解读我是在源档上添加文字注释的,有些是另外写的,解读难免有误,若有读者发现了,希望能够指出,在下感激不尽!

        在编译u-boot的过程,就是make xxx_config和make两步

        以make smdk2410_config为例:

        当以smdk2410_config为目标时,makefile中前面一些变量的定义和其他文件的引用也是有的,这个在原档中添加了有关注释:

        在makefile中有:

        

unconfig:
    @rm -f $(obj)include/config.h $(obj)include/config.mk \
        $(obj)board/*/config.tmp $(obj)board/*/*/config.tmp \
        $(obj)include/autoconf.mk $(obj)include/autoconf.mk.dep

%_config::  unconfig
    echo $@
    $(MKCONFIG) -A $(@:_config=)

        %是个通配符,make xxx_config都是这个目标.目标的依赖是unconfig,unconfig的命令是删除一些文件,而这些文件正是从make xxx_config过程中产生的.unconfig就是清理配置的.

        我们来看@$(MKCONFIG) -A $(@:_config=)
        其实执行的是mkconfig -A smdk2410
        我们可以在该行上面添加一行：echo $@
        则会输出smdk2410_config,因为$@就是指目标
        $(@:_config=)是变量的替换引用
        格式为“$(VAR:A=B)”(或者“${VAR:A=B}”),意思是:替换变量“VAR”中所有“A”字符结尾的字为“B”结尾的字。
所以smdk2410_config末尾的_config去除了.

        下面就是执行mkconfig脚本了,mkconfig -A smdk2410

        给出添加注释的mkconfig文件:

        make xxx_config后,主要的变化是多了几个文件:

        1.include/asm    -->     arch/arm/include/arm

        2.include/asm/arch  -->  arch-s3c24x0

        3.include/asm/proc  -->  proc-armv
        4.在include目录下新建了config.mk文件,文件内容是ARCH CPU BOARD VENDOR SOC的定义

        5.在include目录下新建了config.h文件

        主要是一些变量和函数的定义,编译链接的参数设置以及依赖规则.

        最后分析下make:

$(obj)include/autoconf.mk.dep: $(obj)include/config.h include/common.h
    @$(XECHO) Generating $@ ; \
    set -e ; \
    : Generate the dependancies ; \
    $(CC) -x c -DDO_DEPS_ONLY -M $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) \
        -MQ $(obj)include/autoconf.mk include/common.h > $@

$(obj)include/autoconf.mk: $(obj)include/config.h
    @$(XECHO) Generating $@ ; \
    set -e ; \
    : Extract the config macros ; \
    $(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -DDO_DEPS_ONLY -dM include/common.h | \
        sed -n -f tools/scripts/define2mk.sed > $@.tmp && \
    mv $@.tmp $@

        第一个是生成include/autoconf.mk的依赖文件

        第二个是根据include/config.h的文件内容,利用tools/scripts/define2mk.sed脚本将所有的CONFIG提取到autoconf.mk文件中

        终极目标是:ALL-y += $(obj)u-boot.srec $(obj)u-boot.bin $(obj)System.map

        u-boot.srec也是根据u-boot用objcopy工具搞出来的,不知的什么作用

        u-boot.bin也是根据u-boot用objcopy工具搞出来的,最终烧写的二进制bin档

        System.map是符号列表

$(obj)u-boot.bin:   $(obj)u-boot
        $(OBJCOPY) ${OBJCFLAGS} -O binary $< $@
        $(BOARD_SIZE_CHECK)
###################################################################################
#要得到最后的u-boot.bin，必须得到u-boot.u-boot.bin是最后要烧写到板子上的二进制bin档

#调用BOARD_SIZE_CHECK
###################################################################################

u-boot的依赖分析:
$(obj)u-boot:depend \
$(SUBDIR_TOOLS) $(OBJS) $(LIBBOARD) $(LIBS) $(LDSCRIPT) $(obj)u-boot.lds
$(GEN_UBOOT)


u-boot 依赖depend $(SUBDIR_TOOLS) $(OBJS) $(LIBBOARD) $(LIBS) $(LDSCRIPT) $(obj)u-boot.lds
然后用$(GEN_UBOOT)生成最后的u-boot,GEN_UBOOT就是用ld链接的过程


a.看一下depend:
depend dep:$(TIMESTAMP_FILE) $(VERSION_FILE) \
$(obj)include/autoconf.mk \
$(obj)include/generated/generic-asm-offsets.h \
$(obj)include/generated/asm-offsets.h
for dir in $(SUBDIRS) $(CPUDIR) $(LDSCRIPT_MAKEFILE_DIR) ; do \
$(MAKE) -C $$dir _depend ; done
对$(SUBDIRS) $(CPUDIR) $(LDSCRIPT_MAKEFILE_DIR)目录生成depend依赖文件;
而_depend是在rules.mk中定义的，利用CC的-M选项生成依赖文件.

b.看一下$(SUBDIR_TOOLS):
         tools目录

c.看一下$(OBJS):
$(OBJS):depend
$(MAKE) -C $(CPUDIR) $(if $(REMOTE_BUILD),$@,$(notdir $@))
看下$(if $(REMOTE_BUILD),$@,$(notdir $@))
因为$(REMOTE_BUILD)为空,所以返回的是$(notdir $@)的值;
因为$@指的是规则的目标，所以就是$(OBJS),而$(OBJS)就是arch/arm/cpu/arm920t/start.o
notdir内嵌函数返回的文件名;所以返回start.o
执行makc -C arch/arm/cpu/arm920t start.o

d.$(LIBBOARD)
$(LIBBOARD):depend $(LIBS)
$(MAKE) -C $(dir $(subst $(obj),,$@))
执行make -C board/samsung/smdk2410

e.$(LIBS)
$(LIBS):depend $(SUBDIR_TOOLS)
$(MAKE) -C $(dir $(subst $(obj),,$@))
进入到LIBS包含的很多目录，执行make,生成很多.a文件.

f.$(LDSCRIPT)
$(LDSCRIPT):depend
$(MAKE) -C $(dir $@) $(notdir $@)
在前面找链接脚本时已然知晓LDSCRIPT就是arch/arm/cpu/u-boot.lds
执行make -C arch/arm/cpu u-boot.lds  这个目录没有makefile，这什么意思？！！！

g.$(obj)u-boot.lds
$(obj)u-boot.lds: $(LDSCRIPT)
$(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDPPFLAGS) -ansi -D__ASSEMBLY__ -P - <$^ >$@

       这些就是编译uboot的规则,分析的比较粗糙,在移植的过程中肯定还会遇到各式各样的问题,在移植过程中再进一步深入并修正.
