qestion about kernel/head.S

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all:
I try to cross-compile linux on my arm-platform but I always fail at
"bl __lookup_processor_type"
__lookup_processor_type is a function defined at head-common.s and it
seems to load the base address of structs below
	.long	__proc_info_begin
	.long	__proc_info_end
3:	.long	.
	.long	__arch_info_begin
	.long	__arch_info_end
and check the cpu type each one by one.
The comment says
/*
 * Look in include/asm-arm/procinfo.h and arch/arm/kernel/arch.[ch] for
 * more information about the __proc_info and __arch_info structures.
 */
And there only define the prototype of structs.
Where I can get the constants which __lookup_processor_type used to compare?
Is it define in arch/arm/mm/proc-xxx?
BTW, why the folder name called mm?
memory mapping or something else?
appreciate your help,
miloody
