接下来我们可以看下init进程在读取init.rc (system/core/rootdir/init.rc)创建zygote的过程.
service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server这段话可以看出'service zygote /system/bin/app_process' 创建 service 的进程名是zygote,需要执行system/bin/app_process.
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
writepid /dev/cpuset/foreground/tasks
'-Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server'这些参数是传递给app_process.
接下来,我们看下zygote启动时序图.
Step 1:
app_process.main
这个在frameworks/base/cmds/app_process/app_main.cpp文件中
int main(int argc, char* const argv[])
{
if (prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0) < 0) {
// Older kernels don't understand PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS and return
// EINVAL. Don't die on such kernels.
if (errno != EINVAL) {
LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS failed: %s", strerror(errno));
return 12;
}
}
AppRuntime runtime(argv[0], computeArgBlockSize(argc, argv));
// Process command line arguments
// ignore argv[0]
argc--;
argv++;
// Everything up to '--' or first non '-' arg goes to the vm.
//
// The first argument after the VM args is the "parent dir", which
// is currently unused.
//
// After the parent dir, we expect one or more the following internal
// arguments :
//
// --zygote : Start in zygote mode
// --start-system-server : Start the system server.
// --application : Start in application (stand alone, non zygote) mode.
// --nice-name : The nice name for this process.
//
// For non zygote starts, these arguments will be followed by
// the main class name. All remaining arguments are passed to
// the main method of this class.
//
// For zygote starts, all remaining arguments are passed to the zygote.
// main function.
//
// Note that we must copy argument string values since we will rewrite the
// entire argument block when we apply the nice name to argv0.
int i;
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
if (argv[i][0] != '-') {
break;
}
if (argv[i][1] == '-' && argv[i][2] == 0) {
++i; // Skip --.
break;
}
runtime.addOption(strdup(argv[i]));
}
// Parse runtime arguments. Stop at first unrecognized option.
bool zygote = false;
bool startSystemServer = false;
bool application = false;
String8 niceName;
String8 className;
++i; // Skip unused "parent dir" argument.
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;
}
}
Vector<String8> args;
if (!className.isEmpty()) {
// We're not in zygote mode, the only argument we need to pass
// to RuntimeInit is the application argument.
//
// The Remainder of args get passed to startup class main(). Make
// copies of them before we overwrite them with the process name.
args.add(application ? String8("application") : String8("tool"));
runtime.setClassNameAndArgs(className, argc - i, argv + i);
} else {
// We're in zygote mode.
maybeCreateDalvikCache();
if (startSystemServer) {
args.add(String8("start-system-server"));
}
char prop[PROP_VALUE_MAX];
if (property_get(ABI_LIST_PROPERTY, prop, NULL) == 0) {
LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("app_process: Unable to determine ABI list from property %s.",
ABI_LIST_PROPERTY);
return 11;
}
String8 abiFlag("--abi-list=");
abiFlag.append(prop);
args.add(abiFlag);
// In zygote mode, pass all remaining arguments to the zygote
// main() method.
for (; i < argc; ++i) {
args.add(String8(argv[i]));
}
}
if (!niceName.isEmpty()) {
runtime.setArgv0(niceName.string());
set_process_name(niceName.string());
}
if (zygote) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", args, zygote);
} else if (className) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit", args, zygote);
} 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;
}
}
这个函数主要作用是创建一个AppRuntime,然后调用他的start函数.因为设置了app_process启动参数'
-zygote --start-system-server'
所以app_main.cpp文件中执行的语句是
if (zygote) {
runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", args, zygote);
}
由于AppRuntime 没有实现自己的start函数,所以调用父类AndroidRuntime的start函数.
Step 2. AndroidRuntime.start
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/jni/AndroidRuntime.cpp文件中：
/*
* Start the Android runtime. This involves starting the virtual machine
* and calling the "static void main(String[] args)" method in the class
* named by "className".
*
* Passes the main function two arguments, the class name and the specified
* options string.
*/
void AndroidRuntime::start(const char* className, const Vector<String8>& options, bool zygote)
{
ALOGD(">>>>>> START %s uid %d <<<<<<\n",
className != NULL ? className : "(unknown)", getuid());
static const String8 startSystemServer("start-system-server");
/*
* 'startSystemServer == true' means runtime is obsolete and not run from
* init.rc anymore, so we print out the boot start event here.
*/
for (size_t i = 0; i < options.size(); ++i) {
if (options[i] == startSystemServer) {
/* 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 */
JniInvocation jni_invocation;
jni_invocation.Init(NULL);
JNIEnv* env;
if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env, zygote) != 0) {
return;
}
onVmCreated(env);
/*
* 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;
stringClass = env->FindClass("java/lang/String");
assert(stringClass != NULL);
strArray = env->NewObjectArray(options.size() + 1, stringClass, NULL);
assert(strArray != NULL);
classNameStr = env->NewStringUTF(className);
assert(classNameStr != NULL);
env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, 0, classNameStr);
for (size_t i = 0; i < options.size(); ++i) {
jstring optionsStr = env->NewStringUTF(options.itemAt(i).string());
assert(optionsStr != NULL);
env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, i + 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 {
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");
}
这个函数主要起到三个作用
1.调用startVm启动虚拟机
2.调用startReg注册jni
3.启动com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit中main方法.
Step 3. ZygoteInit.main
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java文件中：
public static void main(String argv[]) {
try {
RuntimeInit.enableDdms();
// Start profiling the zygote initialization.
SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();
boolean startSystemServer = false;
String socketName = "zygote";
String abiList = null;
for (int i = 1; i < argv.length; i++) {
if ("start-system-server".equals(argv[i])) {
startSystemServer = true;
} else if (argv[i].startsWith(ABI_LIST_ARG)) {
abiList = argv[i].substring(ABI_LIST_ARG.length());
} else if (argv[i].startsWith(SOCKET_NAME_ARG)) {
socketName = argv[i].substring(SOCKET_NAME_ARG.length());
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("Unknown command line argument: " + argv[i]);
}
}
if (abiList == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("No ABI list supplied.");
}
registerZygoteSocket(socketName);
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
gcAndFinalize();
// Disable tracing so that forked processes do not inherit stale tracing tags from
// Zygote.
Trace.setTracingEnabled(false);
if (startSystemServer) {
startSystemServer(abiList, socketName);
}
Log.i(TAG, "Accepting command socket connections");
runSelectLoop(abiList);
closeServerSocket();
} catch (MethodAndArgsCaller caller) {
caller.run();
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
Log.e(TAG, "Zygote died with exception", ex);
closeServerSocket();
throw ex;
}
}
这个函数主要也做了三件事情.
1.通过registerZygoteSocket创建socket接口,主要作用是为了方便其通信.
2.通过startSystemServer起到SystemServer组件.
3.通过调用 runSelectLoop函数,使函数进入到无限循环,等待AMS通过Socket请求创建新的应用进程.（注意runSelectLoop函数里面有个无限循环,循环中通过调用selectReadable()方法来检测是否有socket事件的到来，检测到这个事件后，就会唤醒进程处理)
Step4
接下来先分析registerZygoteSocket
/**
* Registers a server socket for zygote command connections
*
* @throws RuntimeException when open fails
*/
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 {
FileDescriptor fd = new FileDescriptor();
fd.setInt$(fileDesc);
sServerSocket = new LocalServerSocket(fd);
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Error binding to local socket '" + fileDesc + "'", ex);
}
}
}
这个socket通过文件描述符来创建的.这个文件符是代表的就是/dev/socket/zygote/了.这个文件描述符是通过环境变量ANDROID_SOCKET_ENV得到的，
它定义为：
public class ZygoteInit {
......
private static final String ANDROID_SOCKET_ENV = "ANDROID_SOCKET_zygote";
......
} 因为我们知道registerZygoteSocket 可以使用文件符会创建一个LocalServerSocket对象,如果其他进程想要和zygote进程通信,那么通过文件名来连接这个LocalServerSocket
比如我们知道AMS是通过Process.start创建一个新的进程,而Process.start首先会通过socket连接到zygote进程中,最终由zygote进程完成创建新的进程
而Process类是通过openZygoteSocketIfNeeded函数来连接到Zygote进程中的Socket的
这行代码主要起到连接zygote作用
sZygoteSocket.connect(new LocalSocketAddress(ZYGOTE_SOCKET,
LocalSocketAddress.Namespace.RESERVED));
具体代码如下
public class Process {
......
private static void openZygoteSocketIfNeeded()
throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
......
for (int retry = 0
; (sZygoteSocket == null) && (retry < (retryCount + 1))
; retry++ ) {
......
try {
sZygoteSocket = new LocalSocket();
sZygoteSocket.connect(new LocalSocketAddress(ZYGOTE_SOCKET,
LocalSocketAddress.Namespace.RESERVED));
sZygoteInputStream
= new DataInputStream(sZygoteSocket.getInputStream());
sZygoteWriter =
new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(
sZygoteSocket.getOutputStream()),
256);
......
} catch (IOException ex) {
......
}
}
......
}
......
}
接下来我们回到startSystemServer中
Step 5. ZygoteInit.startSystemServer
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java文件中：
/**
* Prepare the arguments and fork for the system server process.
*/
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=1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,1018,1021,1032,3001,3002,3003,3006,3007",
"--capabilities=" + capabilities + "," + capabilities,
"--nice-name=system_server",
"--runtime-args",
"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;
}
通过代码我们可以看到zygote进程是通过Zygote.forkSystemServer来创建一个新的进程来启动startSystemServer的
Step 6. ZygoteInit.handleSystemServerProcess
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java文件中：
/**由于创建的zygote的子进程继承zygote进程,而这里子进程用不到它,所以closeServerSocket();
* Finish remaining work for the newly forked system server process.
*/
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,
VMRuntime.getCurrentInstructionSet(), 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 */
}
接着这个函数RuntimeInit.zygoteInit(parsedArgs.targetSdkVersion, parsedArgs.remainingArgs, cl);用来进一步执行SystemServer组件的操作.
Step 7. RuntimeInit.zygoteInit
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/RuntimeInit.java文件中：
public class RuntimeInit {
......
public static final void zygoteInit(String[] argv)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
......
zygoteInitNative();
......
// Remaining arguments are passed to the start class's static main
String startClass = argv[curArg++];
String[] startArgs = new String[argv.length - curArg];
System.arraycopy(argv, curArg, startArgs, 0, startArgs.length);
invokeStaticMain(startClass, startArgs);
}
......
}
这个函数会执行两个操作，一个是调用zygoteInitNative函数来执行一个Binder进程间通信机制的初始化工作，这个工作完成之后，这个进程中的Binder对象就可以方便地进行进程间通信了，另一个是调用上面Step 5传进来的com.android.server.SystemServer类的main函数。
Step 8. RuntimeInit.zygoteInitNative
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/RuntimeInit.java文件中：
public class RuntimeInit {
......
public static final native void zygoteInitNative();
......
}
Step 9. SystemServer.main
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/SystemServer.java文件中：
public class SystemServer
{
......
native public static void init1(String[] args);
......
public static void main(String[] args) {
......
init1(args);
......
}
public static final void init2() {
Slog.i(TAG, "Entered the Android system server!");
Thread thr = new ServerThread();
thr.setName("android.server.ServerThread");
thr.start();
}
......
}
这里的main函数首先会执行JNI方法init1，然后init1会调用这里的init2函数，在init2函数里面，会创建一个ServerThread线程对象来执行一些系统关键服务的启动操作
这里执行完成后，层层返回，最后回到上面的的ZygoteInit.main函数中，接下来它就要调用runSelectLoopMode函数进入一个无限循环在前面Step 4中创建的socket接口上等待ActivityManagerService请求创建新的应用程序进程了。
ZygoteInit.runSelectLoopMode
这个函数定义在frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java文件中：
public class ZygoteInit {
......
private static void runSelectLoopMode() throws MethodAndArgsCaller {
ArrayList<FileDescriptor> fds = new ArrayList();
ArrayList<ZygoteConnection> peers = new ArrayList();
FileDescriptor[] fdArray = new FileDescriptor[4];
fds.add(sServerSocket.getFileDescriptor());
peers.add(null);
int loopCount = GC_LOOP_COUNT;
while (true) {
int index;
......
try {
fdArray = fds.toArray(fdArray);
index = selectReadable(fdArray);
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Error in select()", ex);
}
if (index < 0) {
throw new RuntimeException("Error in select()");
} else if (index == 0) {
ZygoteConnection newPeer = acceptCommandPeer();
peers.add(newPeer);
fds.add(newPeer.getFileDesciptor());
} else {
boolean done;
done = peers.get(index).runOnce();
if (done) {
peers.remove(index);
fds.remove(index);
}
}
}
}
......
}
这就是在等待ActivityManagerService来连接这个Socket，然后调用ZygoteConnection.runOnce函数来创建新的应用程序
这样，Zygote进程就启动完成了，学习到这里，我们终于都对Android系统中的进程有了一个深刻的认识了，这里总结一下：
1. 系统启动时init进程会创建Zygote进程，Zygote进程负责后续Android应用程序框架层的其它进程的创建和启动工作。
2. Zygote进程会首先创建一个SystemServer进程，SystemServer进程负责启动系统的关键服务，如包管理服务PackageManagerService和应用程序组件管理服务ActivityManagerService。
3. 当我们需要启动一个Android应用程序时，ActivityManagerService会通过Socket进程间通信机制，通知Zygote进程为这个应用程序创建一个新的进程。
附加知识点：
Android启动一个进程是在AMS中完成的，可能会有多种原因导致系统启动一个新的进程，最终在AMS中通过调用方法startProcessLocked()来完成这一进程，startProcessLocked准备好参数后，会调用Process.start()方法来完成这一个进程。start()通过调用startViaZygote方法来启动应用。startViaZygote()方法首先将应用进程的启动参数保存到argsForZygote()列表中然后调用zygoteSendArgsAndGetPid()方法将应用程序进程的启动参数发送到Zygote进程。
