linux下的/dev/mem设备认识和使用

最近在为了读取一个寄存器的值动心思时,突然发现,一个好用的工具”r”,源码附上:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

#if __LP64__
#define strtoptr strtoull
#else
#define strtoptr strtoul
#endif

static int usage()
{
fprintf(stderr,"r [-b|-s] <address> [<value>]\n");
return -1;
}

int r_main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(argc < 2) return usage();

int width = 4;
if(!strcmp(argv[1], "-b")) {
width = 1;
argc--;
argv++;
} else if(!strcmp(argv[1], "-s")) {
width = 2;
argc--;
argv++;
}

if(argc < 2) return usage();
uintptr_t addr = strtoptr(argv[1], 0, 16);

uintptr_t endaddr = 0;
char* end = strchr(argv[1], '-');
if (end)
endaddr = strtoptr(end + 1, 0, 16);

if (!endaddr)
endaddr = addr + width - 1;

if (endaddr <= addr) {
fprintf(stderr, "end address <= start address\n");
return -1;
}

bool set = false;
uint32_t value = 0;
if(argc > 2) {
set = true;
value = strtoul(argv[2], 0, 16);
}

int fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR | O_SYNC);
if(fd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr,"cannot open /dev/mem\n");
return -1;
}

off64_t mmap_start = addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1);
size_t mmap_size = endaddr - mmap_start + 1;
mmap_size = (mmap_size + PAGE_SIZE - 1) & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1);

void* page = mmap64(0, mmap_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, mmap_start);

if(page == MAP_FAILED){
fprintf(stderr,"cannot mmap region\n");
return -1;
}

while (addr <= endaddr) {
switch(width){
case 4: {
uint32_t* x = (uint32_t*) (((uintptr_t) page) + (addr & 4095));
if(set) *x = value;
fprintf(stderr,"%08"PRIxPTR": %08x\n", addr, *x);
break;
}
case 2: {
uint16_t* x = (uint16_t*) (((uintptr_t) page) + (addr & 4095));
if(set) *x = value;
fprintf(stderr,"%08"PRIxPTR": %04x\n", addr, *x);
break;
}
case 1: {
uint8_t* x = (uint8_t*) (((uintptr_t) page) + (addr & 4095));
if(set) *x = value;
fprintf(stderr,"%08"PRIxPTR": %02x\n", addr, *x);
break;
}
}
addr += width;
}
return 0;
}

简单好用不是!
秉承研究一下的思想,看了一下/dev/mem和mmap读写linux内存的通用C代码及原理。
附上一个mem这个字符驱动的源码:

利用/dev/mem和mmap导出系统物理地址,免去了用户虚拟地址到内核逻辑地址的繁琐拷贝,提升效率。
注意:如果地址不是一个有效物理地址(处理器地址空间分布中该地址没用),mmap建立该物理地址与用户空间虚拟地址的映射,填TLB,CPU经过TLB翻译后去访问该不存在的物理地址访问就有可能导致CPU挂掉。
内核中定义了4个变量来表示内核一些基本的物理地址和虚拟地址,如下:
KERNELBASE 内核的起始虚拟地址,
PAGE_OFFSET 低端内存的起始虚拟地址,一般是0xc0000000
PHYSICAL_START 内核的起始物理地址,
MEMORY_START 低端内存的起始物理地址,

内核在启动过程中对于lowmem的静态映射,就是以上述的物理地址和虚拟地址的差值进行线性映射的。
所以__pa __va转换的是线性映射的内存部分,也就是lowmem。
所以kmem映射的是lowmem,如果cmdline参数中mem=512M,这就意味着通过kmem的mmap最多可以访问内核地址空间开始的512M内存。
对于超过lowmem范围,访问highmem,如果使用__pa访问,由于highmem是动态映射的,其映射关系不是线性的那么简单了,根据__pa获取的物理地址与我们想要的内核虚拟地址是不对应的。
一个简单GPIO的应用层驱动:

{
int mfd;
unsigned int val=0, last_val;
void *base;
char *sys_pinstaterd;
time_t t_now, t_old;
int flag_issued = 0;
#if 0
// uncomment these to make the program a daemon.

#endif

// open the memery mapped file.

if (mfd < 0){

写在应用层的物理地址操作。快速开发的一个方法。
