Android源码之Zygote

当ActivityManagerService启动一个应用程序的时候，当这个应用程序的进程不存在的时候，就会通过Socket与Zygote进程进行通信，请求它fork一个子进程来作为这个即将要启动的应用程序的进程。
接下来，我们就看一下Zygote是怎么样生成一个新的应用进程的。
在Linux系统中，所有的进程都是init进程子孙进程，所有的进程都是直接或者间接地由进程fork出来的。Zygote进程也不例外。它是在系统启动的过程中，由init进程创建的。在系统启动脚本system/core/rootdir/init.c文件中，我们可以看到启动Zygote进程的脚本命令：
service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
    class main
    socket zygote stream 660 root system
    onrestart write /sys/android_power/request_state wake
    onrestart write /sys/power/state on
    onrestart restart media
    onrestart restart netd

第一行表示Zygote进程要执行的程序便是system/bin/app_process，它的源代码位于frameworks/base/cmds/app_process/app_main.cpp文件中，接下来我们就分析一下app_main.cpp的main函数。
int main(int argc, const char* const argv[])
{
// These are global variables in ProcessState.cpp
mArgC = argc;
mArgV = argv;

mArgLen = 0;
for (int i=0; i mArgLen += strlen(argv[i]) + 1;
}
mArgLen--;

AppRuntime runtime;
const char* argv0 = argv[0];

// Process command line arguments
// ignore argv[0]
argc--;
argv++;

// Everything up to '--' or first non '-' arg goes to the vm

int i = runtime.addVmArguments(argc, argv);

// Parse runtime arguments.  Stop at first unrecognized option.
bool zygote = false;
bool startSystemServer = false;
bool application = false;
const char* parentDir = NULL;
const char* niceName = NULL;
const char* className = NULL;
while (i < argc) {
const char* arg = argv[i++];
if (!parentDir) {
parentDir = arg;
} else if (strcmp(arg, "--zygote") == 0) {
zygote = true;
niceName = "zygote";
} else if (strcmp(arg, "--start-system-server") == 0) {
startSystemServer = true;
} else if (strcmp(arg, "--application") == 0) {
application = true;
} else if (strncmp(arg, "--nice-name=", 12) == 0) {
niceName = arg + 12;
} else {
className = arg;
break;
}
}

if (niceName && *niceName) {
setArgv0(argv0, niceName);
set_process_name(niceName);
}

runtime.mParentDir = parentDir;

if (zygote) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", startSystemServer ? "start-system-server" : "");
} else if (className) {
// Remainder of args get passed to startup class main()
runtime.mClassName = className;
runtime.mArgC = argc - i;
runtime.mArgV = argv + i;
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit", application ? "application" : "tool");
} else {
fprintf(stderr, "Error: no class name or --zygote supplied.\n");
app_usage();
LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("app_process: no class name or --zygote supplied.");
return 10;
}
}
主要是用AppRuntime类的start函数来启动Zygote进程。AppRuntime类也是在app_main.cpp文件中定义的。它继承自AndroidRuntime类。
接下来，我们就看一下AndroidRuntime类的start函数是如何实现的：
void AndroidRuntime::start(const char* className, const char* options)
{
ALOGD("\n>>>>>> AndroidRuntime START %s <<<<<<\n",
className != NULL ? className : "(unknown)");

blockSigpipe();

/*
* 'startSystemServer == true' means runtime is obsolete and not run from
* init.rc anymore, so we print out the boot start event here.
*/
if (strcmp(options, "start-system-server") == 0) {
/* track our progress through the boot sequence */
const int LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_START = 3000;
LOG_EVENT_LONG(LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_START,
   ns2ms(systemTime(SYSTEM_TIME_MONOTONIC)));
}

const char* rootDir = getenv("ANDROID_ROOT");
if (rootDir == NULL) {
rootDir = "/system";
if (!hasDir("/system")) {
LOG_FATAL("No root directory specified, and /android does not exist.");
return;
}
setenv("ANDROID_ROOT", rootDir, 1);
}

//const char* kernelHack = getenv("LD_ASSUME_KERNEL");
//ALOGD("Found LD_ASSUME_KERNEL='%s'\n", kernelHack);

/* start the virtual machine */
JNIEnv* env;
//启动虚拟机
if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env) != 0) {
return;
}
onVmCreated(env);

//注册JNI方法
/*
* Register android functions.
*/
if (startReg(env) < 0) {
ALOGE("Unable to register all android natives\n");
return;
}

/*
* We want to call main() with a String array with arguments in it.
* At present we have two arguments, the class name and an option string.
* Create an array to hold them.
*/
jclass stringClass;
jobjectArray strArray;
jstring classNameStr;
jstring optionsStr;

stringClass = env->FindClass("java/lang/String");
assert(stringClass != NULL);
strArray = env->NewObjectArray(2, stringClass, NULL);
assert(strArray != NULL);
classNameStr = env->NewStringUTF(className);
assert(classNameStr != NULL);
env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, 0, classNameStr);
optionsStr = env->NewStringUTF(options);
env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, 1, optionsStr);

/*
* Start VM.  This thread becomes the main thread of the VM, and will
* not return until the VM exits.
*/
char* slashClassName = toSlashClassName(className);
jclass startClass = env->FindClass(slashClassName);
if (startClass == NULL) {
ALOGE("JavaVM unable to locate class '%s'\n", slashClassName);
/* keep going */
} else {
jmethodID startMeth = env->GetStaticMethodID(startClass, "main",
"([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
if (startMeth == NULL) {
ALOGE("JavaVM unable to find main() in '%s'\n", className);
/* keep going */
} else {
//调用ZygoteInit类的Main函数
env->CallStaticVoidMethod(startClass, startMeth, strArray);

#if 0
if (env->ExceptionCheck())
threadExitUncaughtException(env);
#endif
}
}
free(slashClassName);

ALOGD("Shutting down VM\n");
if (mJavaVM->DetachCurrentThread() != JNI_OK)
ALOGW("Warning: unable to detach main thread\n");
if (mJavaVM->DestroyJavaVM() != 0)
ALOGW("Warning: VM did not shut down cleanly\n");
}
接下来我们看一下ZygoteInit类的Main函数的实现：
public static void main(String argv[]) {
        try {
            // Start profiling the zygote initialization.
            SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();

//注册一个Socket监听
            registerZygoteSocket();
            EventLog.writeEvent(LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_PRELOAD_START, SystemClock.uptimeMillis());
            preload();
            EventLog.writeEvent(LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_PRELOAD_END, SystemClock.uptimeMillis());

            // Finish profiling the zygote initialization.
            SamplingProfilerIntegration.writeZygoteSnapshot();

            // Do an initial gc to clean up after startup
            gc();

            // If requested, start system server directly from Zygote
            if (argv.length != 2) {
                throw new RuntimeException(argv[0] + USAGE_STRING);
            }

            if (argv[1].equals("start-system-server")) {
                startSystemServer();
            } else if (!argv[1].equals("")) {
                throw new RuntimeException(argv[0] + USAGE_STRING);
            }

            Log.i(TAG, "Accepting command socket connections");

//监听socket请求
            if (ZYGOTE_FORK_MODE) {
                runForkMode();
            } else {
                runSelectLoopMode();
            }

//关闭socket
            closeServerSocket();
        } catch (MethodAndArgsCaller caller) {
            caller.run();
        } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Zygote died with exception", ex);
            closeServerSocket();
            throw ex;
        }
    }
我们看一看registerZygoteSocket函数的实现：
private static void registerZygoteSocket() {
//sServerSocket是一个static的LocalServerSocket对象
        if (sServerSocket == null) {
            int fileDesc;
            try {
//得到环境变量
                String env = System.getenv(ANDROID_SOCKET_ENV);
                fileDesc = Integer.parseInt(env);
            } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        ANDROID_SOCKET_ENV + " unset or invalid", ex);
            }

            try {
                sServerSocket = new LocalServerSocket(createFileDescriptor(fileDesc));
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "Error binding to local socket '" + fileDesc + "'", ex);
            }
        }
    }
startSystemServer的函数实现如下：
private static boolean startSystemServer() throws MethodAndArgsCaller, RuntimeException {
        /* Hardcoded command line to start the system server */
        String args[] = {
            "--setuid=1000",
            "--setgid=1000",
            "--setgroups=1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,1018,3001,3002,3003,3006,3007",
            "--capabilities=130104352,130104352",
            "--runtime-init",
            "--nice-name=system_server",
            "com.android.server.SystemServer",
        };
        ZygoteConnection.Arguments parsedArgs = null;

        int pid;

        try {
            parsedArgs = new ZygoteConnection.Arguments(args);
            ZygoteConnection.applyDebuggerSystemProperty(parsedArgs);
            ZygoteConnection.applyInvokeWithSystemProperty(parsedArgs);

//请求fork一个新进程
            /* Request to fork the system server process */
            pid = Zygote.forkSystemServer(
                    parsedArgs.uid, parsedArgs.gid,
                    parsedArgs.gids,
                    parsedArgs.debugFlags,
                    null,
                    parsedArgs.permittedCapabilities,
                    parsedArgs.effectiveCapabilities);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException(ex);
        }

//子进程会调用handleSystemServerProcess函数
        /* For child process */
        if (pid == 0) {
            handleSystemServerProcess(parsedArgs);
        }

        return true;
    }

handleSystemServerProcess函数的定义如下：
private static void handleSystemServerProcess(ZygoteConnection.Arguments parsedArgs)
            throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {

//首先关闭掉从父进程中继承下来的socket文件
        closeServerSocket();

        // set umask to 0077 so new files and directories will default to owner-only permissions.
        Libcore.os.umask(S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO);

        if (parsedArgs.niceName != null) {
            Process.setArgV0(parsedArgs.niceName);
        }

        if (parsedArgs.invokeWith != null) {
            WrapperInit.execApplication(parsedArgs.invokeWith,
                    parsedArgs.niceName, parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion,
                    null, parsedArgs.remainingArgs);
        } else {
            /*
             * Pass the remaining arguments to SystemServer.
             */
            RuntimeInit.zygoteInit(parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion, parsedArgs.remainingArgs);
        }

        /* should never reach here */
    }
RuntimeInit类的zygoteInit函数定义如下：
public static final void zygoteInit(int targetSdkVersion, String[] argv)
            throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
        if (DEBUG) Slog.d(TAG, "RuntimeInit: Starting application from zygote");

        redirectLogStreams();

//commonInit主要是设置时区，http代理
        commonInit();
        nativeZygoteInit();

        applicationInit(targetSdkVersion, argv);
    }

我们主要看一下applicationInit函数的实现：
private static void applicationInit(int targetSdkVersion, String[] argv)
            throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
        // If the application calls System.exit(), terminate the process
        // immediately without running any shutdown hooks.  It is not possible to
        // shutdown an Android application gracefully.  Among other things, the
        // Android runtime shutdown hooks close the Binder driver, which can cause
        // leftover running threads to crash before the process actually exits.
        nativeSetExitWithoutCleanup(true);

        // We want to be fairly aggressive about heap utilization, to avoid
        // holding on to a lot of memory that isn't needed.
        VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetHeapUtilization(0.75f);
        VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetSdkVersion(targetSdkVersion);

        final Arguments args;
        try {
            args = new Arguments(argv);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
            Slog.e(TAG, ex.getMessage());
            // let the process exit
            return;
        }

//会调用SystemServer类的main函数
        // Remaining arguments are passed to the start class's static main
        invokeStaticMain(args.startClass, args.startArgs);
    }
