Linux 内核的编译系统

 

 

Linux  的编译使用 GNU make 工具来检查整个系统的文件和调用 gcc 工具以及脚本完成编译源代码生成 image 等操作。要了解整个编译系统,我们首先要了解 Linux 内核的 Makefile 文件。

 

Linux 的 编译系统包括 5 个部分

Makefile         顶层的 Makefile 文件
.config 内核配置文件
arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile平台 Makefile 文件
scripts/Makefile.*               脚本规则
kbuild Makefiles            大概 500 多个其他的 Makefile 文件


Makefile

 

查看版本

 

在内核源代码的根目录有一个 Makefile 文件,这是编译内核的入口,不管执行配置还是编译,make 命令首先读取这个文件。这个文件首先指明了内核的版本:

我们这里是 3.10

VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 10
SUBLEVEL = 0
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME = Unicycling Gorilla

 

处理参数

 

然后处理 command line ,一共有 5  个 command line

V : 设定编译时,输出信息的等级,例如你可以用 make V=1, 查看编译时执行的所有命令,包括 gcc 参数都会打印出来

C :  代码检查,使用 sparse,检查源文件。

M : 指定不在当前目录(外部模块)的编译,也可以指定当前目录的子目录,那么将只会编译子目录的内容

O :指定编译生成的目标文件位置,当设置了 O 参数,内核生成的 obj 和 builtin 文件都会按照目录结构组织到 O 参数指定的目录里面

W: 使能外部 gcc 检查

 

这几个命令参数,在特定的情况下,将会非常有用,比如我们想编译一个单独的模块就经常使用 M 参数,用 M 指定模块的路径,make 的时候将会不编译整个内核,而编译我们需要的模块:(M 参数会覆盖  KBUILD_EXTMOD 变量)

make M=drivers/misc/
 LD      drivers/misc/eeprom/built-in.o
 CC [M]  drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93cx6.o
 LD      drivers/misc/built-in.o
 Building modules, stage 2.
 MODPOST 1 modules
 CC      drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93cx6.mod.o
 LD [M]  drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93cx6.ko


 

O 参数的指定,会改变整个编译出来的文件的结构,例如哦我们有多个平台要编译,你就需要为每个平台 clone 一份内核代码了,只需要设置不同的输出路径即可:

make O=atmel,  make O=asus  (O 参数会覆盖 KBUILD_OUTPUT 变量),相应的文件也会生成在目标路径下,例如 uImage 就在 atmel/arch/arm/boot/uImage

 

获取信息

 

接下来系统就会获取交叉编译环境和选择不同的 gcc 和 bin 工具集

ARCH            ?= $(SUBARCH)
CROSS_COMPILE   ?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%)


arch 变量设置目标平台, cross compile 设置交叉编译链。

 

伪目标

 

当系统信息获取成功,就可以执行编译命令了,每一个伪目标都可以作为一个编译命令:(大概有 40 个左右的伪目标),但是我们会使用到的并没有这么多,可以用 make help 查看我们使用的编译命令:
