在Linux系統中可以通過memblock來設置系統保留物理內存，防止這些內存被內存管理系統分配出去。

硬件平臺： TQ2440
Linux版本：Linux 3.14.45
說明
1. 在tq2440上，物理內存的起始地址是0x30000000，一共有64MB的內存，所以物理內存地址範圍是: 0x30000000 -> 0x33ffffff
2. 可以在uboot傳給kernel的參數bootargs中添加一個"memblock=debug"，這樣在Linux啓動的時候，會將設置memblock的信息打印出來

代碼調用
在Linux啓動的時候會調用machine相關的代碼定製部分系統保留內存，函數調用如下：
start_kernel
----> setup_arch
----> arm_memblock_init
----> mdesc->reserve()
所以我們可以修改machine相關的代碼，添加reserve函數的實現。
方法一
修改mach-tq2440.c如下：

.atag_offset = 0x100, .init_irq = s3c2440_init_irq,
+ .reserve = tq2440_reserve,
.map_io = tq2440_map_io,
.init_machine = tq2440_machine_init,
.init_time = samsung_timer_init,
上面我們在0x32000000開始的地方保留了2MB的物理內存，然後調用memblock_reserve告訴系統。這個在系統的啓動信息中可以看到：

上面的第5行和第14行就是我們自己設置的保留內存範圍信息。在Linux啓動後，在debugfs中也可以看到memblock的信息：
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory
: 0x30000000..0x33ffffff
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved
: 0x30004000..0x30007fff
: 0x30008200..0x3057fc03
: 0x32000000..0x321fffff
: 0x33f60000..0x33ffbfff
: 0x33ffc540..0x33ffc96b
: 0x33ffc980..0x33ffc9f7
: 0x33ffca00..0x33ffca03
: 0x33ffca20..0x33ffca23
: 0x33ffca40..0x33ffca43
: 0x33ffca60..0x33ffca63
: 0x33ffca80..0x33ffcad2
: 0x33ffcae0..0x33ffcb32
: 0x33ffcb40..0x33ffcb92
: 0x33ffcba0..0x33ffcbbb
: 0x33ffcbc0..0x33ffcdc7
: 0x33ffcdd0..0x33ffffff
其中memory節點中存放的是可用的物理內存地址範圍，reserved表示已經分配出去的物理地址，第2行記錄的就是我們設置的。
既然添加了保留物理內存，那麼如何使用呢？下面我寫了一個簡單的內核模塊，使用我們添加的保留物理內存，下面是內核模塊的代碼：
#include <linux/module.h> #define RESERVE_PHY 0x32000000
#define RESERVE_SIZE 0x200000 static char str[] = "pengdonglin137@163.com\n"; static __init int reserve_demo_init(void)
{
memcpy(phys_to_virt(RESERVE_PHY), str, sizeof(str)); printk("%s: virt: %p\n", __func__, phys_to_virt(RESERVE_PHY)); return ;
} static __exit void reserve_demo_exit(void)
{
printk("%s: %s\n", __func__, (char *)phys_to_virt(RESERVE_PHY));
} module_init(reserve_demo_init);
module_exit(reserve_demo_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
可以看到，我們直接調用函數phys_to_virt將物理地址轉換成虛擬地址，然後直接向這個虛擬地址中寫入數據，在模塊卸載時再將內容打印出出來。
[root@TQ2440 /]# insmod nfs/demo.ko
[ 1417.153362] reserve_demo_init: virt: c2000000
[root@TQ2440 /]#
[root@TQ2440 /]# rmmod demo
[ 1420.986938] reserve_demo_exit: pengdonglin137@.com
[ 1420.986938]
可以看到，第2行中得到物理地址0x32000000對應的虛擬地址是0xC2000000。在模塊卸載時打印出了我們之前寫入的內容。
這種方法使用與物理內存在Normal區域的情況。
方法二

/* Maintainer: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> */
.atag_offset = 0x100, .init_irq = s3c2440_init_irq,
+ .reserve = tq2440_reserve,
.map_io = tq2440_map_io,
.init_machine = tq2440_machine_init,
.init_time = samsung_timer_init,
用新kernel啓動，在啓動信息中可以看到：
[ 0.000000] Machine: TQ2440

在kernel啓動後，在memory和reserved節點中：
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory
: 0x30000000..0x31ffffff
: 0x32200000..0x33ffffff
可以看到，此時系統中有兩塊物理內存，但是這兩塊物理內存的地址之間不連續，中間有一個大小爲2MB的“洞”。此時在reserved節點看不到這部分內存。
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved
: 0x30004000..0x30007fff
: 0x30008200..0x3057fc03
: 0x33f60000..0x33ffbfff
: 0x33ffc520..0x33ffc94b
: 0x33ffc960..0x33ffc9d7
: 0x33ffc9e0..0x33ffc9e3
: 0x33ffca00..0x33ffca03
: 0x33ffca20..0x33ffca23
: 0x33ffca40..0x33ffca43
: 0x33ffca60..0x33ffcab2
: 0x33ffcac0..0x33ffcb12
: 0x33ffcb20..0x33ffcb72
: 0x33ffcb80..0x33ffcb9b
: 0x33ffcba0..0x33ffcbbb
: 0x33ffcbc0..0x33ffcdc7
: 0x33ffcdd0..0x33ffffff
此時在使用這部分保留內存時就不能直接使用了，需要申請，然後映射後才能使用，如下：
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/ioport.h>
#include <linux/io.h> #define RESERVE_PHY 0x32000000
#define RESERVE_SIZE 0x200000 static char str[] = "pengdonglin137@163.com\n";
static void __iomem *addr; static __init int reserve_demo_init(void)
{ if (!request_mem_region(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE, "my reserve"))
return -EBUSY; addr = ioremap_nocache(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE);
memcpy(addr, str, sizeof(str)); printk("%s: virt: %p\n", __func__, addr); return ;
} static __exit void reserve_demo_exit(void)
{
printk("%s: %s\n", __func__, (char *)addr); iounmap(addr);
release_mem_region(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE);
} module_init(reserve_demo_init);
module_exit(reserve_demo_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
然後加載這個模塊，此時會向addr中寫入字符串，在卸載時再打印出來。log如下：
[root@TQ2440 /]# insmod nfs/demo.ko
[ 43.853848] reserve_demo_init: virt: c5000000
[root@TQ2440 /]#
[root@TQ2440 /]# rmmod demo
[ 49.247204] reserve_demo_exit: pengdonglin137@.com
[ 49.247204]
[root@TQ2440 /]#
方法三
在uboot可以通過在bootargs中設置mem參數，告訴kernel可用的物理內存。
修改uboot傳給kernel的bootargs，如下：
setenv bootargs "memblock=debug noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock2 init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC0,115200n8 mem=32M"
此時啓動Linux，啓動信息中可以看到：
[ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x00000030008200-0x00000030589c83] flags 0x0 arm_memblock_init+0x5c/0x1d8
[ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x00000030004000-0x00000030007fff] flags 0x0 arm_memblock_init+0x8c/0x1d8
[ 0.000000] MEMBLOCK configuration:
[ 0.000000] memory size = 0x2000000 reserved size = 0x585a84
[ 0.000000] memory.cnt = 0x1
[ 0.000000] memory[0x0] [0x00000030000000-0x00000031ffffff], 0x2000000 bytes flags: 0x0
[ 0.000000] reserved.cnt = 0x2
[ 0.000000] reserved[0x0] [0x00000030004000-0x00000030007fff], 0x4000 bytes flags: 0x0
[ 0.000000] reserved[0x1] [0x00000030008200-0x00000030589c83], 0x581a84 bytes flags: 0x0
... ...
[ 0.000000] Memory: 26752K/32768K available (3912K kernel code, 214K rwdata, 1176K rodata, 155K init, 176K bss, 6016K reserved)
可以看到，此時Linux只知道有32MB的物理內存，而實際上板子上有64MB的物理內存。
可以看到memory和reserved節點的內容如下：
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /d/memblock/memory
: 0x30000000..0x31ffffff
[root@TQ2440 /]#
[root@TQ2440 /]# cat /d/memblock/reserved
: 0x30004000..0x30007fff
: 0x30008200..0x30589c83
: 0x31fa6000..0x31ffbfff
: 0x31ffc840..0x31ffca6b
: 0x31ffca80..0x31ffcaf7
: 0x31ffcb00..0x31ffcb03
: 0x31ffcb20..0x31ffcb23
: 0x31ffcb40..0x31ffcb43
: 0x31ffcb60..0x31ffcb63
: 0x31ffcb80..0x31ffcbda
: 0x31ffcbe0..0x31ffcc3a
: 0x31ffcc40..0x31ffcc9a
: 0x31ffcca0..0x31ffccbb
: 0x31ffccc0..0x31ffcdc3
: 0x31ffcdd0..0x31ffffff
使用剩餘的物理內存，同樣需要先申請，再映射，然後再使用：
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/ioport.h>
#include <linux/io.h> #define RESERVE_PHY 0x32000000
#define RESERVE_SIZE 0x200000 static char str[] = "pengdonglin137@163.com\n";
static void __iomem *addr; static __init int reserve_demo_init(void)
{ if (!request_mem_region(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE, "my reserve"))
return -EBUSY; addr = ioremap_nocache(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE);
memcpy(addr, str, sizeof(str)); printk("%s: virt: %p\n", __func__, addr); return ;
} static __exit void reserve_demo_exit(void)
{
printk("%s: %s\n", __func__, (char *)addr); iounmap(addr);
release_mem_region(RESERVE_PHY, RESERVE_SIZE);
} module_init(reserve_demo_init);
module_exit(reserve_demo_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
加載模塊，然後卸載，可以看到log：
root@TQ2440 /]# insmod /nfs/demo.ko
[ 266.998897] reserve_demo_init: virt: c3000000
[root@TQ2440 /]#
