LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE 详解（1）

LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE 是Android ROM编译时的一个变量，其与编译、安装、权限管理等几个方面都有关系。本文整理一下与LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE有关的知识。本文源代码分析基于Android6.0.1。

1.编译时作用

对于Android系统应用，LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE 决定了其编译后的在ROM中的安装位置：
如果不设置或者设置为false，安装位置为system/app；
如果设置为true，安装位置为system/priv-app。
那么，Android的编译系统是如何处理这个变量的呢？
我们知道，Android编译系统源代码主要是位于 build/core下的xxx.mk文件，在build/下搜索对于LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE的使用，可以看到：

$ grep -nr "LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE" *
core/clear_vars.mk:148:LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE:=
core/base_rules.mk:129:  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE))

base_rules.mk里面有对LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE的处理。从base_rules.mk的头部注释来看，这个文件是用来定义通用的编译命令，并且支持自定义扩展。

# Users can define base-rules-hook in their buildspec.mk to perform
# arbitrary operations as each module is included.
ifdef base-rules-hook
$(if $(base-rules-hook),)
endif

在build/下搜索也发现base_rules.mk多处include：

$ grep -nr "base_rules" *
core/java.mk:74:# Define the intermediate targets before including base_rules so they get
core/java.mk:292:# TODO: It looks like the only thing we need from base_rules is

tools/fs_config/Android.mk:78:include $(BUILD_SYSTEM)/base_rules.mk

好，下面看看base_rules.mk中对于LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE的处理逻辑：

ifeq ($(my_module_path),)
  ifdef LOCAL_IS_HOST_MODULE
    partition_tag :=
  else
  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PROPRIETARY_MODULE))
    partition_tag := _VENDOR
  else ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_OEM_MODULE))
    partition_tag := _OEM
  else ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_ODM_MODULE))
    partition_tag := _ODM
  else
    # The definition of should-install-to-system will be different depending
    # on which goal (e.g., sdk or just droid) is being built.
    partition_tag := $(if $(call should-install-to-system,$(my_module_tags)),,_DATA)
  endif
  endif
  install_path_var := $(LOCAL_2ND_ARCH_VAR_PREFIX)$(my_prefix)OUT$(partition_tag)_$(LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS)
  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE))
    install_path_var := $(install_path_var)_PRIVILEGED
  endif
  my_module_path := $($(install_path_var))
  ifeq ($(strip $(my_module_path)),)
    $(error $(LOCAL_PATH): unhandled install path "$(install_path_var) for $(LOCAL_MODULE)")
  endif
endif

如果LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE为true，对安装路径变量install_path_var做了修改：

  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE))
    install_path_var := $(install_path_var)_PRIVILEGED
  endif

增加一些调试信息来求证：

  install_path_var := $(LOCAL_2ND_ARCH_VAR_PREFIX)$(my_prefix)OUT$(partition_tag)_$(LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS)
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning step1 - install_path_var : $(install_path_var))
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE))
    install_path_var := $(install_path_var)_PRIVILEGED
  endif
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning step2 - install_path_var : $(install_path_var))
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)

随便编译某个将LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE设置为true的系统应用，mm，看到如下warning信息：

build/core/base_rules.mk:130: ******************** test **********************************
build/core/base_rules.mk:131: step1 - install_path_var : TARGET_OUT_APPS
build/core/base_rules.mk:132: ******************** test **********************************
build/core/base_rules.mk:138: ******************** test **********************************
build/core/base_rules.mk:139: step2 - install_path_var : TARGET_OUT_APPS_PRIVILEGED
build/core/base_rules.mk:140: ******************** test **********************************

再打印TARGET_OUT_APPS和TARGET_OUT_APPS_PRIVILEGED两个变量：

  install_path_var := $(LOCAL_2ND_ARCH_VAR_PREFIX)$(my_prefix)OUT$(partition_tag)_$(LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS)
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning step1 - install_path_var : $(install_path_var))
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  ifeq (true,$(LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE))
    install_path_var := $(install_path_var)_PRIVILEGED
  endif
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning step2 - install_path_var : $(install_path_var))
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)
  $(warning values - install_path_var : $(TARGET_OUT_APPS))
  $(warning values - install_path_var : $(TARGET_OUT_APPS_PRIVILEGED))
  $(warning ******************** test **********************************)

warning信息：

build/core/base_rules.mk:138: ******************** test **********************************
build/core/base_rules.mk:139: values - install_path_var : out/target/product/xxx/system/app
build/core/base_rules.mk:140: values - install_path_var : out/target/product/xxx/system/priv-app
build/core/base_rules.mk:141: ******************** test **********************************

可以看到，正是对于LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE的处理，将安装路径从system/app改为system/priv-app。
