Linux虚拟文件系统（安装根文件系统）
·
安装根文件系统是系统初始化的关键部分。Linux内核允许根文件系统放在很多不同的地方，比如硬盘分区、软盘、通过NFS共享的远程文件系统以及保存在ramdisk中。内核要在变量ROOT_DEV中寻找包含根文件系统的磁盘主设备号。当编译内核时，或者像最初的启动装入程序传递一个合适的“root”选项时，根文件系统可以被指定为/dev目录下的一个设备文件。
下面看看他的两个函数
Start_kernel->rest_init->init-> prepare_namespace->
mount_root操作
安装根文件系统分为两个阶段：
1，内核安装特殊rootfs文件系统，该文件系统仅提供一个作为初始安装点的空目录
start_kernel()->vfs_caches_init()->mnt_init()->init_rootfs()
1. /*初始化根文件系统*/
2. int __init init_rootfs(void)

6. err = bdi_init(&ramfs_backing_dev_info);
7. if (err)
8. return err;
9. /*注册rootfs_fs_type文件类型*/
10. err = register_filesystem(&rootfs_fs_type);
11. if (err)/*如果出错，销毁上面初始化的*/
12. bdi_destroy(&ramfs_backing_dev_info);
13.
14. return err;

构造根目录是由init_mount_tree()函数实现的，该函数在前面已经介绍过了。
2，安装实际根文件系统
关于__setup宏
__setup宏来注册关键字及相关联的处理函数，__setup宏在include/linux/init.h中定义，其原型如下：
__setup(string, _handler);
其中：string是关键字，_handler是关联处理函数。__setup只是告诉内核在启动时输入串中含有string时，内核要去
执行_handler。String必须以“=”符结束以使parse_args更方便解析。紧随“=”后的任何文本都会作为输入传给
_handler。下面的例子来自于init/do_mounts.c，其中root_dev_setup作为处理程序被注册给“root=”关键字：
__setup("root=", root_dev_setup);
比如我们在启动向参数终有
noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock2 console=/linuxrc
setup_arch解释时会发现root=/dev/mtdblock2,然后它就会调用root_dev_setup
1. static int __init root_dev_setup(char *line)
2. {
3. strlcpy(saved_root_name, line, sizeof(saved_root_name));
4. return 1;
5. }
6.
7. __setup("root=", root_dev_setup); Start_kernel->rest_init->init-> prepare_namespace->
1. /*
2. * Prepare the namespace - decide what/where to mount, load ramdisks, etc.

14. /*
15. * wait for the known devices to complete their probing
16. *

19. * for the touchpad of a laptop to initialize.

1，创建一个rootfs，这个是虚拟的rootfs，是内存文件系统（和ramfs），后面还会指向具体的根文件系统；
2，从系统启动参数中获取设备文件名以及设备号；
3，调用系统调用创建符号链接，并调用mount系统调用进程实际的安装操作；
4，改变进程当前目录；
5，移动rootfs文件系统根目录上得已经安装文件系统的安装点；
rootfs特殊文件系统没有被卸载，他只是隐藏在基于磁盘的根文件系统下了。
