[分享]Linux的非对齐访问

1. Linux的非对齐访问

Linux下，可以在设备树里保留一段内存，留给用户自己管理和使用，Linux保证不会使用保留内存。在使用中，有人发现，保留内存不能使用非对齐的方式访问。

经研究，如果在保留内存时，声明了“no-map”属性，Linux会把这段内存映射为strongly order模式，不支持非对齐的方式访问。
如果在保留内存时，没有声明“no-map”属性，Linux会把这段内存映射为normal模式，支持非对齐的方式访问。

 

2. 测试环境

ZCU102， Xilinx Linux image 2018.2

 

3. strongly order模式的设备树
/ {
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;

videoinmem: buffer0@0x20000000 {
no-map;
reg = <0x0 0x20000000 0x0 0x6000000>;
};
};
};

 

4. 测试代码
void main(void)
{
char buf[1280] = "123456789012345";
char *map_base = NULL;
int fd;

fd = open("/dev/mem",O_RDWR | O_SYNC);
map_base = mmap(0, 0x20000000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0x20000000);

printf("map_base = %p\n",map_base);
printf("Copy to reserved memory with length: 64\n");
// void *memcpy(void*dest, const void *src, size_t n);
memcpy(map_base,buf,64);

printf("Copy to reserved memory with length: 68\n");
memcpy(map_base,buf,68); // sigbus exception

printf("Copy to reserved memory with length: 65\n");
memcpy(map_base,buf,65);// sigbus exception
}
