Android5.0开关机模块——zygote进程
前面两篇一直在介绍init进程的内容，这一节介绍Android最重要的一个进程zygote，zygote翻译成中文就是受精卵、孵化器的意思，换言之，Android的framework层和其他的进程都是由它孵化出来的，可想而知有多么的重要。
zygote在init.rc中的描述如下，
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
从参数中可以看出，zygote进程程序位于/system/bin/app_process，代码位于/framework/base/cmds/app_process/app_main.cpp中
它的main函数很简单，主要完成以下几件事情，
定义一个runtime用来跑虚拟机，因为后面要运行java代码，必然要跑虚拟机
AppRuntime runtime(argv[0], computeArgBlockSize(argc, argv));解析传进来的参数
while (i < argc) {
const char* arg = argv[i++];
if (strcmp(arg, "--zygote") == 0) {
zygote = true;
niceName = ZYGOTE_NICE_NAME;
} 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.setTo(arg + 12);
} else if (strncmp(arg, "--", 2) != 0) {
className.setTo(arg);
break;
} else {
--i;
break;
}
}if (!niceName.isEmpty()) {
runtime.setArgv0(niceName.string());
set_process_name(niceName.string());
}运行zygoteinit
if (zygote) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", args);
} else if (className) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit", args);
} 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;
}runtime.start的定义是
void AndroidRuntime::start(const char* className, const Vector& options) 这个函数的作用是启动Android系统运行时库，它主要做了三件事情，一是调用函数startVM启动虚拟机，二是调用函数startReg注册JNI方法，三是调用了com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit类的main函数。我们重点关注zygote的main方法
if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env) != 0) {
return;
} if (startReg(env) < 0) {
ALOGE("Unable to register all android natives\n");
return;
}/*
* 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 {
env->CallStaticVoidMethod(startClass, startMeth, strArray);
#if 0
if (env->ExceptionCheck())
threadExitUncaughtException(env);
#endif
}
}因为zygoteinit是java代码，所以上面要启动VM
zygoteinit的main函数主要作了三件事情，
一个调用registerZygoteSocket函数创建了一个socket接口，用来和ActivityManagerService通讯
registerZygoteSocket(socketName);
EventLog.writeEvent(LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_PRELOAD_START,
SystemClock.uptimeMillis());
preload();
EventLog.writeEvent(LOG_BOOT_PROGRESS_PRELOAD_END,
SystemClock.uptimeMillis()); private static void registerZygoteSocket(String socketName) {
if (sServerSocket == null) {
int fileDesc;
final String fullSocketName = ANDROID_SOCKET_PREFIX + socketName;
try {
String env = System.getenv(fullSocketName);
fileDesc = Integer.parseInt(env);
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(fullSocketName + " unset or invalid", ex);
}
try {
sServerSocket = new LocalServerSocket(
createFileDescriptor());
} catch (IOException ex) fileDesc{
throw new RuntimeException(
"Error binding to local socket '" + fileDesc + "'", ex);
}
}
}因此，这里就把上面得到的文件描述符写入到以"ANDROID_SOCKET_zygote"为key值的环境变量中。又因为上面的ZygoteInit.registerZygoteSocket函数与这里创建socket文件的create_socket函数是运行在同一个进程中，因此，上面的ZygoteInit.registerZygoteSocket函数可以直接使用这个文件描述符来创建一个Java层的LocalServerSocket对象。如果其它进程也需要打开这个/dev/socket/zygote文件来和Zygote进程进行通信，那就必须要通过文件名来连接这个LocalServerSocket了
二是预加载
static void preload() {
Log.d(TAG, "begin preload");
preloadClasses();
preloadResources();
preloadOpenGL();
preloadSharedLibraries();
// Ask the WebViewFactory to do any initialization that must run in the zygote process,
// for memory sharing purposes.
WebViewFactory.prepareWebViewInZygote();
Log.d(TAG, "end preload");
}三是调用startSystemServer函数来启动SystemServer组件，
四是调用runSelectLoopMode函数进入一个无限循环在前面创建的socket接口上等待ActivityManagerService请求创建新的应用程序进程。
至此，zygote进程就结束了，它会一直循环在这里，等待其他进程请求它孵化出新的进程。
在startSystemServer中，会创建一个新的子进程来执行handleSystemServerProcess
private static boolean startSystemServer(String abiList, String socketName)
throws MethodAndArgsCaller, RuntimeException {
long capabilities = posixCapabilitiesAsBits(
OsConstants.CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND,
OsConstants.CAP_KILL,
OsConstants.CAP_NET_ADMIN,
OsConstants.CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE,
OsConstants.CAP_NET_BROADCAST,
OsConstants.CAP_NET_RAW,
OsConstants.CAP_SYS_MODULE,
OsConstants.CAP_SYS_NICE,
OsConstants.CAP_SYS_RESOURCE,
OsConstants.CAP_SYS_TIME,
OsConstants.CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG
);
/* Hardcoded command line to start the system server */
String args[] = {
"--setuid=1000",
"--setgid=1000",
"--setgroups=1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,1018,1032,3001,3002,3003,3006,3007",
"--capabilities=" + capabilities + "," + capabilities,
"--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);
/* 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);
}
/* For child process */
if (pid == 0) {
if (hasSecondZygote(abiList)) {
waitForSecondaryZygote(socketName);
}
handleSystemServerProcess(parsedArgs);
}
return true;
}private static void handleSystemServerProcess(
ZygoteConnection.Arguments parsedArgs)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
closeServerSocket();
// set umask to 0077 so new files and directories will default to owner-only permissions.
Os.umask(S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO);
if (parsedArgs.niceName != null) {
Process.setArgV0(parsedArgs.niceName);
}
final String systemServerClasspath = Os.getenv("SYSTEMSERVERCLASSPATH");
if (systemServerClasspath != null) {
performSystemServerDexOpt(systemServerClasspath);
}
if (parsedArgs.invokeWith != null) {
String[] args = parsedArgs.remainingArgs;
// If we have a non-null system server class path, we'll have to duplicate the
// existing arguments and append the classpath to it. ART will handle the classpath
// correctly when we exec a new process.
if (systemServerClasspath != null) {
String[] amendedArgs = new String[args.length + 2];
amendedArgs[0] = "-cp";
amendedArgs[1] = systemServerClasspath;
System.arraycopy(parsedArgs.remainingArgs, 0, amendedArgs, 2, parsedArgs.remainingArgs.length);
}
WrapperInit.execApplication(parsedArgs.invokeWith,
parsedArgs.niceName, parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion,
null, args);
} else {
ClassLoader cl = null;
if (systemServerClasspath != null) {
cl = new PathClassLoader(systemServerClasspath, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(cl);
}
/*
* Pass the remaining arguments to SystemServer.
*/
RuntimeInit.zygoteInit(parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion, parsedArgs.remainingArgs, cl);
}
/* should never reach here */
}
重点是zygoteinit
public static final void zygoteInit(int targetSdkVersion, String[] argv, ClassLoader classLoader)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
if (DEBUG) Slog.d(TAG, "RuntimeInit: Starting application from zygote");
redirectLogStreams();
commonInit();
nativeZygoteInit();
applicationInit(targetSdkVersion, argv, classLoader);
}
这个函数都是做一些初始化工作，其中nativeZygoteInit最终会调用到app_main.cpp中的onZygoteInit
virtual void onZygoteInit()
{
// Re-enable tracing now that we're no longer in Zygote.
atrace_set_tracing_enabled(true);
sp proc = ProcessState::self();
ALOGV("App process: starting thread pool.\n");
proc->startThreadPool();
}
applicationInit函数中的invokeStaticMain(args.startClass, args.startArgs, classLoader);最终会调用SystemServer.java中的main函数
/**
* The main entry point from zygote.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
new SystemServer().run();
}关于systemserver的内容，下节再谈
