ARMv7汇编实现周期计数读取与清空

本文档详细描述了如何在ARMv7平台上使用汇编语言编写周期计数器读取与清空函数，如何在内核模块中导出这些函数供其他模块调用，以及如何使用Netlink接口供用户态程序进行调用。

1. 汇编函数实现

首先，编写汇编函数以实现周期计数器的读取与清空。创建文件cpu_cycle.S：

.global clear_cycle_counter
.global get_cycle_count
.global select_cycle_counter
.global cm_enable_pmu// 开启PMU功能
cm_enable_pmu:MRC p15, 0, r0, c9, c12, 0 // 读取 PMU_CTRL寄存器值到R0ORR r0, r0, #1MCR p15, 0, r0, c9, c12, 0 // 将R0的值写入PMU_CTRL寄存器值// 清空周期计数器
clear_cycle_counter:// 将0写入周期计数器寄存器MCR p15, 0, r0, c9, c13, 2MOV pc, lr// 获取周期计数
get_cycle_count:// 从周期计数器寄存器读取值MRC p15, 0, r0, c9, c13, 2MOV pc, lrselect_cycle_counter://选择周期计数器 如nt98528是0~5// 选择0号计数器MOV r0, #0MCR p15, 0, r0, c9, c12, 5MOV pc, lr

2. 内核模块实现

接下来，编写内核模块代码，以导出汇编函数并通过Netlink提供接口。创建文件cm_cpu_cycle.c：

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/netlink.h>
#include <linux/skbuff.h>
#include <net/sock.h>#define NETLINK_USER 31// 声明汇编函数
extern void clear_cycle_counter(void);
extern unsigned int get_cycle_count(void);// 导出汇编函数
EXPORT_SYMBOL(clear_cycle_counter);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(get_cycle_count);static struct sock *nl_sk = NULL;static void nl_recv_msg(struct sk_buff *skb) {struct nlmsghdr *nlh;int pid;struct sk_buff *skb_out;int msg_size;char *msg = NULL;int res;nlh = (struct nlmsghdr*)skb->data;pid = nlh->nlmsg_pid; // 获取发送者的PIDif (strncmp((char*)nlmsg_data(nlh), "clear", 5) == 0) {clear_cycle_counter();msg = "Cycle counter cleared";} else if (strncmp((char*)nlmsg_data(nlh), "get", 3) == 0) {unsigned int cycle_count = get_cycle_count();msg_size = snprintf(NULL, 0, "Cycle count: %u", cycle_count);msg = kmalloc(msg_size + 1, GFP_KERNEL);snprintf(msg, msg_size + 1, "Cycle count: %u", cycle_count);} else {msg = "Invalid command";}msg_size = strlen(msg);skb_out = nlmsg_new(msg_size, 0);if (!skb_out) {pr_err("Failed to allocate new skb
");return;}nlh = nlmsg_put(skb_out, 0, 0, NLMSG_DONE, msg_size, 0);NETLINK_CB(skb_out).dst_group = 0;strncpy(nlmsg_data(nlh), msg, msg_size);res = nlmsg_unicast(nl_sk, skb_out, pid);if (res < 0)pr_err("Error while sending back to user
");if (msg && strncmp(msg, "Cycle count: ", 13) == 0)kfree(msg);
}static int __init cm_cpu_cycle_init(void) {struct netlink_kernel_cfg cfg = {.input = nl_recv_msg,};nl_sk = netlink_kernel_create(&init_net, NETLINK_USER, &cfg);if (!nl_sk) {pr_err("Error creating socket.
");return -10;}pr_info("cm_cpu_cycle module loaded.
");return 0;
}static void __exit cm_cpu_cycle_exit(void) {netlink_kernel_release(nl_sk);pr_info("cm_cpu_cycle module unloaded.
");
}module_init(cm_cpu_cycle_init);
module_exit(cm_cpu_cycle_exit);MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Cycle Count Management Module");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Your Name");

3. Makefile

创建Makefile以编译内核模块：

obj-m += cm_cpu_cycle.o
cm_cpu_cycle-objs := cm_cpu_cycle_main.o cpu_cycle.oall:make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modulesclean:make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

4. 用户态程序

编写用户态程序，通过Netlink接口与内核模块通信。创建文件user_program.c：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <linux/netlink.h>#define NETLINK_USER 31struct sockaddr_nl src_addr, dest_addr;
struct nlmsghdr *nlh = NULL;
struct iovec iov;
int sock_fd;
struct msghdr msg;void send_msg(const char *cmd) {nlh->nlmsg_len = NLMSG_SPACE(1024);nlh->nlmsg_pid = getpid();nlh->nlmsg_flags = 0;strcpy(NLMSG_DATA(nlh), cmd);iov.iov_base = (void *)nlh;iov.iov_len = nlh->nlmsg_len;msg.msg_name = (void *)&dest_addr;msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(dest_addr);msg.msg_iov = &iov;msg.msg_iovlen = 1;sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0);recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0);printf("Received message payload: %s
", (char *)NLMSG_DATA(nlh));
}int main() {sock_fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_USER);if (sock_fd < 0) {return -1;}memset(&src_addr, 0, sizeof(src_addr));src_addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;src_addr.nl_pid = getpid();bind(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&src_addr, sizeof(src_addr));memset(&dest_addr, 0, sizeof(dest_addr));dest_addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;dest_addr.nl_pid = 0;   // For Linux Kerneldest_addr.nl_groups = 0; // unicastnlh = (struct nlmsghdr *)malloc(NLMSG_SPACE(1024));memset(nlh, 0, NLMSG_SPACE(1024));// 发送清空周期计数器命令send_msg("clear");// 发送获取周期计数器值命令send_msg("get");close(sock_fd);return 0;
}

5. 编译与加载模块

编译内核模块：

make

加载内核模块：

sudo insmod cm_cpu_cycle.ko

运行用户态程序：

gcc user_program.c -o user_program
./user_program

卸载内核模块：

sudo rmmod cm_cpu_cycle

通过以上步骤，可以实现一个在内核态使用汇编语言编写的周期计数读取与清空功能，并通过Netlink接口供用户态程序进行调用的完整示例。
