linux kernel makefile 编译过程概览

备注：使用make –debug=b 获得各个编译目标的依赖关系和顺序。

默认为 编译第一个目标 _all

make 后面没有指定目标，默认为 编译第一个目标 _all

以 -include 包含的文件，即使包含不到，也不会影响继续编译。比如

-include include/config/auto.conf

-include include/config/auto.conf.cmd

但是会尝试更新这个目标啊，

include/config/auto.conf.cmd 的规则是

.config include/config/auto.conf.cmd: ；

这个规则

target: prerequisite ; command

中prerequisite 和command 什么都没有，所以 include/config/auto.conf.cmd 目标就这样过了。

include/config/auto.conf 目标可以找到规则

include/config/%.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG) include/config/auto.conf.cmd

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile silentoldconfig

即会按照这个规则来更新 include/config/auto.conf 目标 。

为了 include/config/auto.conf 文件，我们启动一个新的Make 执行

make -f ./Makefile silentoldconfig

第二轮进入Makefile，目标是silentoldconfig

，符合的rules

%config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@

依赖是

Trying rule prerequisite 'scripts_basic'.

Trying rule prerequisite 'outputmakefile'.

Trying rule prerequisite 'FORCE'.

scripts_basic 目标，

scripts_basic:

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/basic

$(Q)rm -f .tmp_quiet_recordmcount

outputmakefile

由于是在源码文件夹下面编译的，不需要拷贝Makefile 文件，相当于什么也没做。

三个依赖的目标更新后，开始更新目标

执行命令

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/kconfig silentoldconfig

scripts/kconfig/ 目录下面有 kbuild ? 或者 Makefile 里面找rules

依赖conf 文件，依赖文件完成后，

mkdir -p include/config include/generated

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig

这个命令的执行

需要包含 .config 文件，更新目标 include/linux/autoconf.h 文件，执行silentoldconfig

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig 完成后，

这步完成后，scripts/kconfig/Makefile 中的 silentoldconfig 目标完成；

Makefile 中的

%config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@

目标完成

Makefile 中的

include/config/%.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG) include/config/auto.conf.cmd

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile silentoldconfig

目标完成，即

include/config/auto.conf 文件完成

这个只是 由于 -include include/config/auto.conf 这句话引发的。

更新这个文件后，重新再Makefile 文件中包含 include/config/auto.conf 和 include/config/auto.conf.cmd 文件，

之后执行

make -d ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

1、编译开始后，首先做了什么？

没有目标，第一个 _all 目标作为要生成的目标

_all 依赖all，依赖vmlinux，依赖prepare ，依赖prepare2，依赖 include/config/auto.conf，所以什么参数都不带的 make 会来更新 include/config/auto.conf 这个目标

scripts 目标也依赖 include/config/auto.conf

这次，依然是include 这两个文件

-include include/config/auto.conf

-include include/config/auto.conf.cmd

都包含成功了

并且在 include/config/auto.conf.cmd 中，给目标 include/config/auto.conf 增加了新的依赖

$deps_config 就是各个目录下面的Kconfig 文件

======================================================

这次中，-include include/config/auto.conf时，又一次找到前面的规则

include/config/%.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG) include/config/auto.conf.cmd

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile silentoldconfig

而且 include/config/auto.conf.cmd 中还给 include/config/auto.conf 增加了依赖文件

include/config/kernel.release 是第一个目标啊

使用了 filechk 函数，在kbuild.include 里面定义。更新 include/config/kernel.release 文件

执行的命令是

set -e;

echo ' CHK include/config/kernel.release';

mkdir -p include/config/;

echo "4.1.26$(/bin/bash ./scripts/setlocalversion .)" < include/config/auto.conf > include/config/kernel.release.tmp;

if [ -r include/config/kernel.release ] && cmp -s include/config/kernel.release include/config/kernel.release.tmp; then

rm -f include/config/kernel.release.tmp;

else

echo ' UPD include/config/kernel.release';

mv -f include/config/kernel.release.tmp include/config/kernel.release;

fi

文件里面的内容：

prepare3 是第二个目标，

# prepare3 is used to check if we are building in a separate output directory,

# and if so do:

# 1) Check that make has not been executed in the kernel src $(srctree)

所以正常情况prepare 3 什么也不做

Finished prerequisites of target file 'prepare3'.

Must remake target 'prepare3'.

Successfully remade target file 'prepare3'.

outputmakefile 是第三个目标

# outputmakefile generates a Makefile in the output directory, if using a

# separate output directory. This allows convenient use of make in the

# output directory.

asm-generic 第四个

# Support for using generic headers in asm-generic

PHONY += asm-generic

asm-generic:

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.asm-generic \

src=asm obj=arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/asm

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.asm-generic \

src=uapi/asm obj=arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/uapi/asm

./scripts/Makefile.asm-generic 文件的作用

# This Makefile reads the file arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild # and for each file listed in this file with generic-y creates # a small wrapper file in $(obj) (arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/asm)

echo "#include " >arch/arm64/include/generated/asm/bug.h

。。。。。。

echo "#include " >arch/arm64/include/generated/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h

。。。。。。

asm_generic 完成后，prepare 2 的依赖就完成了，prepare 2 页什么没做，页完成。

Successfully remade target file 'prepare2'.

Considering target file 'include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h'.

接下来是prepare 1 的第二个依赖，

'include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h -- 第五个

Considering target file 'include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h'.

$(version_h): $(srctree)/Makefile FORCE

$(call filechk,version.h)

$(Q)rm -f $(old_version_h)

define filechk_version.h

(echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE $(shell \

expr $(VERSION) \* 65536 + 0$(PATCHLEVEL) \* 256 + 0$(SUBLEVEL)); \

echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))';)

endef

那么 'include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h 里面是什么内容呢？

删除了old_version.h ，即include/linux/version.h

include/generated/utsrelease.h - 第六个

include/generated/utsrelease.h: include/config/kernel.release FORCE

$(call filechk,utsrelease.h)

uts_len := 64

define filechk_utsrelease.h

if [ `echo -n "$(KERNELRELEASE)" | wc -c ` -gt $(uts_len) ]; then \

echo '"$(KERNELRELEASE)" exceeds $(uts_len) characters' >&2; \

exit 1; \

fi; \

(echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \"$(KERNELRELEASE)\";)

endef

生成的 include/generated/utsrelease.h 是什么样子呢？

接下来是

prepare1 - 第七个

prepare1: prepare2 $(version_h) include/generated/utsrelease.h \

include/config/auto.conf

$(cmd_crmodverdir)

# Create temporary dir for module support files

# clean it up only when building all modules

cmd_crmodverdir = $(Q)mkdir -p $(MODVERDIR) \

$(if $(KBUILD_MODULES),; rm -f $(MODVERDIR)/*)

mkdir -p .tmp_versions ; rm -f .tmp_versions/*

下来是 archprepare 依赖的 scripts_basic

scripts_basic 第八个

scripts_basic:

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/basic

$(Q)rm -f .tmp_quiet_recordmcount

虽然scripts_basic 在之前已经做过了一次，但是由于它是 伪目标，不会有文件生成，所以现在还是要检查与生成一次的。

Successfully remade target file 'scripts_basic'.

Finished prerequisites of target file 'archprepare'.

Must remake target 'archprepare'.

Successfully remade target file 'archprepare'.

archprepare 的依赖，及其自己 就OK 啦

下来是 prepare 0 第九个

prepare0: archprepare FORCE

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=.

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.build obj=.

./scripts/Makefile.build 包含根目录下面的 Kbuild 文件来进行

# Kbuild for top-level directory of the kernel # This file takes care of the following: # 1) Generate bounds.h # 2) Generate asm-offsets.h (may need bounds.h) # 3) Check for missing system calls

include/generated/bounds.h

include/generated/asm-offsets.h

CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh

prepare 0 结束，prepare 也结束

Finished prerequisites of target file 'prepare'.

Must remake target 'prepare'.

Successfully remade target file 'prepare'.

接下来是scripts

scripts: scripts_basic include/config/auto.conf include/config/tristate.conf \

asm-generic

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(@)

又是一遍 scripts_basic， 不管了， include/config/auto.conf include/config/tristate.conf 都已经更新过了。

编译 scripts 文件夹下面的内容，依据scripts/Makefile 文件内容进行。

gcc -o scripts/dtc/dtc

gcc -o scripts/mod/modpost

scripts/kallsyms

scripts/conmakehash

scripts/sortextable

prepare 和 scripts 都更新之后，就是编译各个子目录了

规则是

$(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$@

Successfully remade target file 'scripts'.

Finished prerequisites of target file 'init'.

Must remake target 'init'.

vmlinux-dirs 为各个子目录名称，不带 / 符号。

vmlinux-dirs := $(patsubst %/,%,$(filter %/, $(init-y) $(init-m) \

$(core-y) $(core-m) $(drivers-y) $(drivers-m) \

$(net-y) $(net-m) $(libs-y) $(libs-m)))

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.build obj=init

编译的目录顺序为

init - init-y

usr - core-y in Makefile

arch/arm64/kernel in arm64/Makefile

arch/arm64/mm in arm64/Makefile

arch/arm64/net in arm64/Makefile

arch/arm64/crypto in arm64/Makefile

kernel

mm

fs

ipc

security

crypto

block

drivers

sound

firmware

net

arch/arm64/lib

lib

各个目录，及其子目录都编译完成后

Successfully remade target file 'lib'.

Finished prerequisites of target file 'arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds'.

执行到现在， 'arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds'. 已经是最新的了

Successfully remade target file 'arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds'.

Considering target file 'arch/arm64/kernel/head.o'.

继续vmlinux 的下一个依赖，

vmlinux: scripts/link-vmlinux.sh $(vmlinux-deps) FORCE

vmlinux-deps := $(KBUILD_LDS) $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_INIT) $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_MAIN)

export KBUILD_VMLINUX_INIT := $(head-y) $(init-y)

head-y 在 arch/arm64/Makefile文件中定义 head-y := arch/arm64/kernel/head.o

由于规则$(sort $(vmlinux-deps)): $(vmlinux-dirs) ;

所以arch/arm64/kernel/head.o 也是依赖所有的init usr 。。。。。。lib 这些目标，这些目标刚更新过，所以直接执行head.o 的command，head.o 也是最新的，所以不需要更新

一路检查下来，$(vmlinux-deps) 都不需要更新了

Finished prerequisites of target file 'vmlinux'.

Must remake target 'vmlinux'.

就更新vmlinux 了

vmlinux: scripts/link-vmlinux.sh $(vmlinux-deps) FORCE

+$(call if_changed,link-vmlinux)

/bin/bash scripts/link-vmlinux.sh aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -EL -p --no-undefined -X --build-id

脚本里面做了哪些事情：

，

. ./.config include .config

LD vmlinux.o 将上面的 中间文件链接为 vmlinux.o

modpost vmlinux.o to check for section mismatches

scripts/mod/modpost -o ./Module.symvers -S vmlinux.o

info GEN .version 生成 .version 文件

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.build obj=init 再生成一遍 init 文件夹

vmlinux_link '' .tmp_vmlinux1 # Link of vmlinux # ${1} - optional extra .o files # ${2} - output file

kallsyms .tmp_vmlinux1 .tmp_kallsyms1.o # Create ${2} .o file with all symbols from the ${1} object file

vmlinux_link .tmp_kallsyms1.o .tmp_vmlinux2 # Link of vmlinux # ${1} - optional extra .o files # ${2} - output file

kallsyms .tmp_vmlinux2 .tmp_kallsyms2.o # Create ${2} .o file with all symbols from the ${1} object file

vmlinux_link .tmp_kallsyms2.o vmlinux # Link of vmlinux # ${1} - optional extra .o files # ${2} - output file

sortextable vmlinux

mksysmap vmlinux System.map Create map file with all symbols from ${1}

# a) Verify that the System.map from vmlinux matches the map from # ${kallsymso}.

mksysmap .tmp_vmlinux2 .tmp_System.map

cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map

rm -f .old_version

简化后，如下

LINK vmlinux

LD vmlinux.o

MODPOST vmlinux.o

GEN .version

CHK include/generated/compile.h

UPD include/generated/compile.h

CC init/version.o

LD init/built-in.o

KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.o

KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.o

LD vmlinux

SORTEX vmlinux

SYSMAP System.map

Successfully remade target file '__build'.

KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.o

KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.o

LD vmlinux

SORTEX vmlinux

SYSMAP System.map

Successfully remade target file 'vmlinux'.

之后是 arch/arm64/Makefile 中给all 添加的其他依赖

'Image.gz'.

dtbs

之后是modules

all: modules

modules: $(vmlinux-dirs) $(if $(KBUILD_BUILTIN),vmlinux) modules.builtin

$(Q)$(AWK) '!x[$$0]++' $(vmlinux-dirs:%=$(objtree)/%/modules.order) > $(objtree)/modules.order

@$(kecho) ' Building modules, stage 2.';

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.modpost

$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modbuild

modules.builtin: $(vmlinux-dirs:%=%/modules.builtin)

$(Q)$(AWK) '!x[$$0]++' $^ > $(objtree)/modules.builtin

%/modules.builtin: include/config/auto.conf

$(Q)$(MAKE) $(modbuiltin)=$*

各个子目录下面的

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modbuiltin obj=init

modules.builtin 目标是 生成 ./modules.builtin 文件

modules 目标是生成 ./modules.order

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost

make -f ./scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modbuild
