head.S是linux启动后的第一个文件，主要完成以下功能：
1、检查处理器信息，并保存；
2、检查平台号，并保存；
3、创建页表，并开启MMU功能；
4、对内核data section、bbs section作调整和初始化，保存必要的变量，设置栈指针跳到start_kernel;
实现过程：
//定义进程0的页表基地址，位于内核代码前16k,注意这是一个虚拟地址。
.globl swapper_pg_dir
.equ swapper_pg_dir, TEXTADDR - 0x4000
//这个宏用于计算内核页表的基地址，是物理地址。
.macro pgtbl, rd, phys
adr \rd, stext
sub \rd, \rd, #0x4000
.endm
//定义所属为init段
__INIT
//定义个函数地址
.type stext, %function
ENTRY(stext)
//设置处理器SVC模式，禁止IRQ中断、FIQ中断。
msr cpsr_c, #PSR_F_BIT | PSR_I_BIT | MODE_SVC
//查找处理器类型并判断是否有效。
bl __lookup_processor_type @ r5=procinfo r9=cpuid
movs r10, r5 @ invalid processor (r5=0)?

//查找平台类型并判断是否有效。
bl __lookup_machine_type @ r5=machinfo
movs r8, r5 @ invalid machine (r5=0)?
beq __error_a @ yes, error 'a'
//创建页表。
bl __create_page_tables
//把__switch_data地址处的内容放到r13,也就是r13=_mmap_swithced,在__enable_mmu之后会返回到这里执行。要注意这个r13放的可以虚拟地址，在打开MMU之后跳到这。

//在PROCINFO_INITFUNC被调用之后执行_enable_mmu
adr lr, __enable_mmu @ return (PIC) address

2、创建面表
/*

*

//把SDRAM的物理地址放到r5.
ldr r5, [r8, #MACHINFO_PHYSRAM] @ physram
//用pgtbl宏计算出面表的物理地址，在内核代码前16k
pgtbl r4, r5 @ page table address
/*
* Clear the 16K level 1 swapper page table
*/
//把16K页表内容清0.
mov r0, r4
mov r3, #0
add r6, r0, #0x4000
1: str r3, [r0], #4
str r3, [r0], #4
str r3, [r0], #4
str r3, [r0], #4
teq r0, r6
bne 1b
//从处理器信息结构读出MMU参数。
ldr r7, [r10, #PROCINFO_MMUFLAGS] @ mmuflags
/*
* Create identity mapping for first MB of kernel to

* will be removed by paging_init(). We use our current program
* counter to determine corresponding section base address.
*/
//为了打开MMU功能时不出问题，把当前物理地址的1Mb范围内与虚拟地址做相等映射。
mov r6, pc, lsr #20 @ start of kernel section
orr r3, r7, r6, lsl #20 @ flags + kernel base
//[r4, r6, lsl #2]代表页表的项所在的地址，这个#2是因为每个页表项占用4个字节，r3代表向相应的页表项地址所填写的内容，也就是要映射的虚拟地址。
str r3, [r4, r6, lsl #2] @ identity mapping
/*
* Now setup the pagetables for our kernel direct
* mapped region. We round TEXTADDR down to the
* nearest megabyte boundary. It is assumed that
* the kernel fits within 4 contigous 1MB sections.
*/
//把内核的前4MB虚拟地址映射到相应的物理地址。
add r0, r4, #(TEXTADDR & 0xff000000) >> 18

//把内核开始地址映射到物理ram的开始处。
add r0, r4, #VIRT_OFFSET >> 18//页表项的偏移。
orr r6, r5, r7//物理ram的开如地址。
str r6, [r0]
mov pc, lr
3、调用处理器相关的初始化函数
__arm920_setup:
mov r0, #0
mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c7 @ invalidate I,D caches on v4
mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c10, 4 @ drain write buffer on v4
mcr p15, 0, r0, c8, c7 @ invalidate I,D TLBs on v4
//读出cp15的c1寄存器到r0,清除并设置，最终目录如下，使能MMU，禁止内存地址对齐检查功能，使能cache,禁止写入缓存，控制中断向量表的地址为高端。
mrc p15, 0, r0, c1, c0 @ get control register v4
ldr r5, arm920_cr1_clear
bic r0, r0, r5
ldr r5, arm920_cr1_set
orr r0, r0, r5
mov pc, lr
//这里的arm920_cr1_clear=0x3f3f, arm920_cr1_set=0x3135
4、打开MMU
/*

* this is just loading the page table pointer and domain access
* registers.
*/
.type __enable_mmu, %function

mcr p15, 0, r5, c3, c0, 0 @ load domain access register
//把页表基址设置MMU到MMU的C2。
mcr p15, 0, r4, c2, c0, 0 @ load page table pointer
b __turn_mmu_on
/*
