uclinux-2008r1-rc8(bf561)内核的console(3)：通过console输出信息

1.3 通过console输出信息
在内核中，向console输出信息是通过release_console_sem函数来完成的：
/**
* release_console_sem - unlock the console system
*
* Releases the semaphore which the caller holds on the console system
* and the console driver list.
*
* While the semaphore was held, console output may have been buffered
* by printk(). If this is the case, release_console_sem() emits
* the output prior to releasing the semaphore.
*
* If there is output waiting for klogd, we wake it up.
*
* release_console_sem() may be called from any context.
*/
void release_console_sem(void)
{
unsigned long flags;
unsigned long _con_start, _log_end;
unsigned long wake_klogd = 0;

if (console_suspended) {
up(&secondary_console_sem);
return;
}

console_may_schedule = 0;

for ( ; ; ) {
spin_lock_irqsave(&logbuf_lock, flags);
wake_klogd |= log_start - log_end;
if (con_start == log_end)
break; /* Nothing to print */
_con_start = con_start;
_log_end = log_end;
con_start = log_end; /* Flush */
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);
call_console_drivers(_con_start, _log_end);
local_irq_restore(flags);
}
console_locked = 0;
up(&console_sem);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&logbuf_lock, flags);
if (wake_klogd)
wake_up_klogd();
}
在这里，实际输出通过call_console_drivers函数完成：
/*
* Call the console drivers, asking them to write out
* log_buf[start] to log_buf[end - 1].
* The console_sem must be held.
*/
static void call_console_drivers(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
unsigned long cur_index, start_print;
static int msg_level = -1;

BUG_ON(((long)(start - end)) > 0);

cur_index = start;
start_print = start;
while (cur_index != end) {
if (msg_level < 0 && ((end - cur_index) > 2) &&
LOG_BUF(cur_index + 0) == '<' &&
LOG_BUF(cur_index + 1) >= '0' &&
LOG_BUF(cur_index + 1) <= '7' &&
LOG_BUF(cur_index + 2) == '>') {
msg_level = LOG_BUF(cur_index + 1) - '0';
cur_index += 3;
start_print = cur_index;
}
while (cur_index != end) {
char c = LOG_BUF(cur_index);

cur_index++;
if (c == '/n') {
if (msg_level < 0) {
/*
* printk() has already given us loglevel tags in
* the buffer. This code is here in case the
* log buffer has wrapped right round and scribbled
* on those tags
*/
msg_level = default_message_loglevel;
}
_call_console_drivers(start_print, cur_index, msg_level);
msg_level = -1;
start_print = cur_index;
break;
}
}
}
_call_console_drivers(start_print, end, msg_level);
}
继续跟踪_call_console_drivers：
/*
* Write out chars from start to end - 1 inclusive
*/
static void _call_console_drivers(unsigned long start,
unsigned long end, int msg_log_level)
{
if ((msg_log_level < console_loglevel || ignore_loglevel) &&
console_drivers && start != end) {
if ((start & LOG_BUF_MASK) > (end & LOG_BUF_MASK)) {
/* wrapped write */
__call_console_drivers(start & LOG_BUF_MASK,
log_buf_len);
__call_console_drivers(0, end & LOG_BUF_MASK);
} else {
__call_console_drivers(start, end);
}
}
}
继续跟踪__call_console_drivers：
/*
* Call the console drivers on a range of log_buf
*/
static void __call_console_drivers(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
struct console *con;

for (con = console_drivers; con; con = con->next) {
if ((con->flags & CON_ENABLED) && con->write &&
(cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) ||
(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME)))
con->write(con, &LOG_BUF(start), end - start);
}
}
嘿嘿，原来是调用console结构体中的write函数!记得我们在内核中是使用了bfin_serial_console做为我们的console，而这个结构体中的write回调函数则初始化为bfin_serial_console_write，这个函数在drivers/serial/bfin_5xx.c：
/*
* Interrupts are disabled on entering
*/
static void
bfin_serial_console_write(struct console *co, const char *s, unsigned int count)
{
struct bfin_serial_port *uart = &bfin_serial_ports[co->index];
int flags = 0;

spin_lock_irqsave(&uart->port.lock, flags);
uart_console_write(&uart->port, s, count, bfin_serial_console_putchar);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&uart->port.lock, flags);
}
再跟踪uart_console_write，此函数位于drivers/serial/serial_core.c。
/*
* uart_console_write - write a console message to a serial port
* @port: the port to write the message
* @s: array of characters
* @count: number of characters in string to write
* @write: function to write character to port
*/
void uart_console_write(struct uart_port *port, const char *s,
unsigned int count,
void (*putchar)(struct uart_port *, int))
{
unsigned int i;

for (i = 0; i < count; i++, s++) {
if (*s == '/n')
putchar(port, '/r');
putchar(port, *s);
}
}
因为uart是一个通用的抽象接口，它需要指定与具体硬件相关的函数来进行输出，在我们的调用中使用了bfin_serial_console_putchar做为回调函数，因此实际输出是通过bfin_serial_console_putchar来完成的，此函数在drivers/serial/bfin_5xx.c：
static void bfin_serial_console_putchar(struct uart_port *port, int ch)
{
struct bfin_serial_port *uart = (struct bfin_serial_port *)port;
while (!(UART_GET_LSR(uart) & THRE))
barrier();
UART_PUT_CHAR(uart, ch);
SSYNC();
}
