linux内核启动过程的后期，在kernel_init()函数代表的init线程中，会尝试执行用户空间的init进程：
从上述代码可见，会尝试执行/sbin/、/etc、/bin三个目录中的init。从《》一文可以知道，在busybox编译构建完成并安装后，会生成对应的目录（注：/etc目录不存在）。在/sbin目录中，则会存在一个init链接：
查看其属性，其本质则是链接到了../bin/busybox：
综上所述，证明linux内核启动后期，运行的第一个用户空间程序是init，在busybox源码中，init程序则由位于/init目录中的init.c编译构建而成，程序入口则是：init_main()，小生在该函数中添加一行标识代码：
linux内核运行后期的结果如下：
可见，linux内核后期加载的就是busybox下的init程序。

跳过条件宏定义下的编译分支，主要分析其通用的代码部分：
-
（1）首先使用sigaddset()将信号添加到信号集合，添加到的信号有：Ctrl-Alt-Del、SIGQUIT、SIGPWR、
SIGUSR1、SIGTERM、SIGUSR2、SIGUSR2。 -
（2）然后找出系统默认的控制台，并切换路径到/，接着重新创建一个新的会话：
console_init();
set_sane_term();
xchdir("/");
setsid();
- （3）设置默认的环境变量：
putenv((char *) "HOME=/");
putenv((char *) bb_PATH_root_path);
putenv((char *) "SHELL=/bin/sh");
putenv((char *) "USER=root"); /* needed? why? */
- （4）如果是单用户模式，则会调用
new_init_action(RESPAWN, bb_default_login_shell, "");在控制台启动一个shell；否则，则会调用parse_inittab()函数。
parse_inittab()函数定义如下：
static void parse_inittab(void)
{
#if ENABLE_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB
char *token[4];
parser_t *parser = config_open2("/etc/inittab", fopen_for_read);
if (parser == NULL)
#endif
{
/* No inittab file - set up some default behavior */
/* Sysinit */
new_init_action(SYSINIT, INIT_SCRIPT, "");
/* Askfirst shell on tty1-4 */
new_init_action(ASKFIRST, bb_default_login_shell, "");
//TODO: VC_1 instead of ""? "" is console -> ctty problems -> angry users
new_init_action(ASKFIRST, bb_default_login_shell, VC_2);
new_init_action(ASKFIRST, bb_default_login_shell, VC_3);
new_init_action(ASKFIRST, bb_default_login_shell, VC_4);
/* Reboot on Ctrl-Alt-Del */
new_init_action(CTRLALTDEL, "reboot", "");
/* Umount all filesystems on halt/reboot */
new_init_action(SHUTDOWN, "umount -a -r", "");
/* Swapoff on halt/reboot */
new_init_action(SHUTDOWN, "swapoff -a", "");
/* Restart init when a QUIT is received */
new_init_action(RESTART, "init", "");
return;
}
#if ENABLE_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB
/* optional_tty:ignored_runlevel:action:command
* Delims are not to be collapsed and need exactly 4 tokens
*/
while (config_read(parser, token, 4, 0, "#:",
PARSE_NORMAL & ~(PARSE_TRIM | PARSE_COLLAPSE))) {
/* order must correspond to SYSINIT..RESTART constants */
static const char actions[] ALIGN1 =
"sysinit\0""wait\0""once\0""respawn\0""askfirst\0"
"ctrlaltdel\0""shutdown\0""restart\0";
int action;
char *tty = token[0];
if (!token[3]) /* less than 4 tokens */
goto bad_entry;
action = index_in_strings(actions, token[2]);
if (action < 0 || !token[3][0]) /* token[3]: command */
goto bad_entry;
/* turn .*TTY -> /dev/TTY */
if (tty[0]) {
tty = concat_path_file("/dev/", skip_dev_pfx(tty));
}
new_init_action(1 << action, token[3], tty);
if (tty[0])
free(tty);
continue;
bad_entry:
message(L_LOG | L_CONSOLE, "Bad inittab entry at line %d",
parser->lineno);
}
config_close(parser);
#endif
}
注意，如果定义了CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB，则会使用/etc/inittab文件中的action；如果CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB没有定义，parse_inittab()则会简单地添加一些默认actions(例如，运行INIT_SCRIPT，然后启动一个“askfirst”shell)。如果ENABLE_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB已定义，但/etc/inittab文件缺失也会使用相同的默认行为集。
- （5）设置StOP信号处理程序：
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sigfillset(&sa.sa_mask);
sigdelset(&sa.sa_mask, SIGCONT);
sa.sa_handler = stop_handler;
sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
sigaction_set(SIGTSTP, &sa); /* pause */
sigaction_set(SIGSTOP, &sa); /* pause */
- （6）接下来运行想要运行的命令，依次运行：
SYSINIT、WAIT、ONCE：
run_actions(SYSINIT);
check_delayed_sigs(&G.zero_ts);
run_actions(WAIT);
check_delayed_sigs(&G.zero_ts);
run_actions(ONCE);
- （7）在最后，则是一个while(1)的死循环，用于处理我们在命令行下输入的命令：
while (1) {
/* 重新运行respawn/askfisrt */
run_actions(RESPAWN | ASKFIRST);
/* 等待信号 */
check_delayed_sigs(NULL); /* NULL timespec makes it wait */
/* 等待所有的子进程退出 */
while (1) {
pid_t wpid;
struct init_action *a;
wpid = waitpid(-1, NULL, WNOHANG);
if (wpid <= 0)
break;
a = mark_terminated(wpid);
if (a) {
message(L_LOG, "process '%s' (pid %u) exited. "
"Scheduling for restart.",
a->command, (unsigned)wpid);
}
}
/* 短暂让出CPU，不要消耗所有的CPU时间*/
sleep1();
} /* while (1) */
补充
BusyBox的init不支持运行级别。runlevels字段在BusyBox init中将会被完全忽略。
所以如果想要使用运行级别，需使用sysvinit作为启动进程。
（1）7个运行级别
(1)运行级别0：系统停机状态，系统默认运行级别不能设为0，否则不能正常启动。其实就是关机。
(2)运行级别1：单用户工作状态，root权限，用于系统维护，禁止远程登陆.在忘记root密码时一般用这个运行级别，进去修改root密码。
(3)运行级别2：多用户状态(没有NFS)，没有网络连接。
(4)运行级别3：完全的多用户状态(有NFS)，登陆后进入控制台命令行模式。 linux很常见的运行级别
(5)运行级别4：系统未使用，保留。
(6)运行级别5：X11控制台，登陆后进入图形GUI模式。就是图形模式。
(7)运行级别6：系统正常关闭并重启，默认运行级别不能设为6，否则不能正常启动。
（2）查看运行级别
1、runlevel命令：打印系统的上一个和当前运行级别：
N：“N”表示自系统启动后运行级别尚未更改。 从上图可见，小生的Ubuntu系统的运行级别为5。
