Uboot最重要的全局变量gd
8. gd
gd 是一个 gd_t
类型的结构体变量,在 uboot 阶段地址保存在寄存器 r9
:
#define DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR register volatile gd_t *gd asm ("r9")

结构体定义在 include/asm-generic/global_data.h

从定义可以看出 gd 实际上包含了 uboot 运行过程中要使用的几乎全部的全局变量。
gd 最开始是在 _main
里初始化的(有些架构是在 board_init_f()
里面初始化的):
ENTRY(_main)
...
/* set up gd here, outside any C code */
mov r9, r0
bl board_init_f_init_reserve
...
void board_init_f_init_reserve(ulong base)
{
struct global_data *gd_ptr;
#ifndef _USE_MEMCPY
int *ptr;
#endif
/*
* clear GD entirely and set it up.
* Use gd_ptr, as gd may not be properly set yet.
*/
gd_ptr = (struct global_data *)base;
/* zero the area */
#ifdef _USE_MEMCPY
memset(gd_ptr, '\0', sizeof(*gd));
#else
for (ptr = (int *)gd_ptr; ptr < (int *)(gd_ptr + 1); )
*ptr++ = 0;
#endif
/* set GD unless architecture did it already */
#if !defined(CONFIG_ARM)
arch_setup_gd(gd_ptr);
#endif
/* next alloc will be higher by one GD plus 16-byte alignment */
base += roundup(sizeof(struct global_data), 16);
/*
* record early malloc arena start.
* Use gd as it is now properly set for all architectures.
*/
#if defined(CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F)
/* go down one 'early malloc arena' */
gd->malloc_base = base;
/* next alloc will be higher by one 'early malloc arena' size */
base += CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN;
#endif
}
并且随着 uboot 初始化外设、准备引导系统的过程不断的初始化自己的各个成员变量,如初始化串口时就对 *cur_serial_dev
进行赋值。
