供head.S调用，其中__mmap_switched的b start_kernel跳转到C执行，且永不返回。
跳转到start_kernel时寄存器值：
R0 = cp#15 control register
R1 = machine id
R2 = atags/dtb pointer
R9 = processor ID

Linux kernel分析（二）
注：本文为Stephen Du原创，转载请注明
这里开始讲解head-common.S的内容。另，我的讲解顺序是按照源码的顺序来进行的而不是按照函数调用的顺序进行，所以读者要注意函数的入口以及返回地址。
这里定义了atag数据的存放地址
14 #define ATAG_CORE 0x54410001
15 #define ATAG_CORE_SIZE ((2*4 + 3*4) >> 2)
这个部分head.S里面开启MMU后执行。此处开始准备执行C代码做准备：主要是text段，初始化数据段的定位！起始kernel本身的段结构跟普通进程大致相同，这也是为什么它被成文宏内核的原因！
__data_loc是kernel的text段的开始
__bss_start是__data_loc的结束也是bss段的开始
从上图看得出，kernel必须将text段跟初始化数据段准备好，对于未初始化数据段跟stack段，heap段都是不需要进行准备的！只需要设置stack指针以及heap起始地址就好！因此到了22行后未出现stack跟heap段的定义！
17 .type __switch_data, %object
18 __switch_data:
19 .long __mmap_switched
20 .long __data_loc @ r4
21 .long __data_start @ r5
22 .long __bss_start @ r6
23 .long _end
@ r7
该内存位置存储了处理器的id，也就是r4寄存器的内容，以防后面的代码丢弃r4的内容
24 .long
processor_id
@ r4
该内存位置存储了machine type的信息也是放置r5的内容被丢弃
25 .long
__machine_arch_type @ r5
该内存存储了atag的地址指针，同理防止r6被丢弃了
26 .long __atags_pointer @ r6
27 .long
cr_alignment
@ r7
这个内存位置放置了kernel的stack & heap的内存位置信息以后，只要将pc pointer指向这里就能执行C代码了！
28 .long init_thread_union + THREAD_START_SP @ sp
29
此前的代码可能在NOR flash中以XIP方式运行（其实Nand flash也可以XIP，只是有点技术障碍），但是kernel的代码不能总在flash内运行，该函数会进行kernel段的搬移以及处理！
39 .type __mmap_switched, %function
40 __mmap_switched:
41 adr r3, __switch_data + 4 // r3 point to __mmap_switched本处的注释错误！r3指向__data_loc！
将代码段，初始化数据段以及未初始化的数据段地址分别加载进入r4~r7
43 ldmia r3!,
{r4, r5, r6, r7} // load the function‘s addr into r4~r7;r3 point to
processor_id
此处比较难以理解，r4=__data_loc是物理上段的存储位置（可能在flash中而不是在RAM中）；r5=_data_start是数据在内存的地址，如果二者相等说明已经在RAM中不必做copy，如果不在RAM中则执行copy使之在内存中运行！
44 cmp
r4, r5 // Copy
data segment if needed __data_start is the destination and __data_loc is the
src!
copy相关操作
45 1: cmpne r5, r6 // if __data_start and __data_loc is not the same start the transfer session
46 ldrne fp, [r4], #4
47 strne fp, [r5], #4
48 bne 1b
清空未初始化数据段，为执行C代码扫清障碍
50 mov fp, #0 @ Clear BSS (and zero fp)
51 1: cmp r6, r7
52 strcc fp, [r6],#4
53 bcc 1b
执行保存操作。此处最重要的是sp指针的加载！该语句后sp已经指向了kernel的stack上，执行C代码的条件就绪了（代码段ok，初始化数据段ok，未初始化数据段ok，stack
ok）
