#if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 7 && defined(CONFIG_SMP)
#define ARCH_HAS_PREFETCHW
static inline void prefetchw(const void *ptr)
{
        __asm__ __volatile__(
                ".arch_extension        mp\n"
                __ALT_SMP_ASM(
                        WASM(pldw)              "\t%a0",
                        WASM(pld)               "\t%a0"
                )
                :: "p" (ptr));
}
#endif

prefetchw() 函数的作用就是从内存中预读数据到 cache 中。函数调用内嵌汇编,由于 支持 SMP,所以需要提供两种预读指令 pldw 和 pld。由于本实践支持 SMP,于是使用 pld, 因此这个函数的核心代码就是使用 pld 指令从内存预读数据到 cache。

驱动安装

驱动的安装很简单,首先将驱动放到 drivers/BiscuitOS/ 目录下,命名为 atomic.c, 然后修改 Kconfig 文件,添加内容参考如下:

diff --git a/drivers/BiscuitOS/Kconfig b/drivers/BiscuitOS/Kconfig
index 4edc5a5..1a9abee 100644
--- a/drivers/BiscuitOS/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/BiscuitOS/Kconfig
@@ -6,4 +6,14 @@ if BISCUITOS_DRV
config BISCUITOS_MISC
        bool "BiscuitOS misc driver"
+config BISCUITOS_ATOMIC
+       bool "atomic"
+
+if BISCUITOS_ATOMIC
+
+config DEBUG_BISCUITOS_ATOMIC
+       bool "BBBXXX"
+
+endif # BISCUITOS_ATOMIC
+
endif # BISCUITOS_DRV

接着修改 Makefile,请参考如下修改:

diff --git a/drivers/BiscuitOS/Makefile b/drivers/BiscuitOS/Makefile
index 82004c9..9909149 100644
--- a/drivers/BiscuitOS/Makefile

驱动配置

驱动配置请参考下面文章中关于驱动配置一节。在配置中,勾选如下选项,如下:

Device Driver--->
    [*]BiscuitOS Driver--->
        [*]atomic
            [*]BBBXXX()

具体过程请参考:

Linux 5.0 开发环境搭建 – 驱动配置

驱动编译

驱动编译也请参考下面文章关于驱动编译一节:

Linux 5.0 开发环境搭建 – 驱动编译

驱动运行

驱动的运行,请参考下面文章中关于驱动运行一节:

Linux 5.0 开发环境搭建 – 驱动运行

启动内核,并打印如下信息:

usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
usbhid: USB HID core driver
Atomic: 8
aaci-pl041 10004000.aaci: ARM AC'97 Interface PL041 rev0 at 0x10004000, irq 24
aaci-pl041 10004000.aaci: FIFO 512 entries
oprofile: using arm/armv7-ca9

驱动分析

如果需要加快数据的读取,可以使用 prefetchw() 函数将数据读到 cache 中。
