Java所有的方法都是类方法，因此Dalvik的字节码执行就两种，一是类的Method，包括静态和非静态，两者的差距也就是有没有this参数，二就是类的初始化代码，就是类加载的时候，成员变量的初始化以及显式的类初始化块代码。
其中类的初始化代码在dalvik/vm/oo/Class.cpp的dvmInitClass：
bool dvmInitClass(ClassObject* clazz)
{
...
dvmLockObject(self, (Object*) clazz);
...
android_atomic_release_store(CLASS_INITIALIZING,
(int32_t*)(void*)&clazz->status);
dvmUnlockObject(self, (Object*) clazz);
...
initSFields(clazz);
/* Execute any static initialization code.
*/
method = dvmFindDirectMethodByDescriptor(clazz, "<clinit>", "()V");
if (method == NULL) {
LOGVV("No <clinit> found for %s", clazz->descriptor);
} else {
LOGVV("Invoking %s.<clinit>", clazz->descriptor);
JValue unused;
dvmCallMethod(self, method, NULL, &unused);
}
...
}
从代码可见，类初始化的主要代码逻辑包括：
类对象加锁，所以类的加载是单线程的
初始化static成员（initSFields）
调用<cinit>，静态初始化块
类的初始化块代码在<cinit>的成员函数里。可见Dalvik的字节码解释，本质上还是类成员函数的解释执行。
虚拟机以Method作为解释器的执行单元，其入口就统一为dvmCallMethod，该函数的定义在dalvik/vm/interp/Stack.cpp里。
void dvmCallMethod(Thread* self, const Method* method, Object* obj,
JValue* pResult, ...)
{
va_list args;
va_start(args, pResult);
dvmCallMethodV(self, method, obj, false, pResult, args);
va_end(args);
}
void dvmCallMethodV(Thread* self, const Method* method, Object* obj,
bool fromJni, JValue* pResult, va_list args)
{
...
if (dvmIsNativeMethod(method)) {
TRACE_METHOD_ENTER(self, method);
/*
* Because we leave no space for local variables, "curFrame" points
* directly at the method arguments.
*/
(*method->nativeFunc)((u4*)self->interpSave.curFrame, pResult,
method, self);
TRACE_METHOD_EXIT(self, method);
} else {
dvmInterpret(self, method, pResult);
}
…
}
Java的Method有native函数和非native函数，native的函数的代码段是在so里，是本地指令集而非虚拟机的字节码。
虚拟机以Method作为解释器的执行单元，其入口就统一为dvmCallMethod，该函数的定义在dalvik/vm/interp/Stack.cpp里。
void dvmCallMethod(Thread* self, const Method* method, Object* obj,
JValue* pResult, ...)
{
va_list args;
va_start(args, pResult);
dvmCallMethodV(self, method, obj, false, pResult, args);
va_end(args);
}
void dvmCallMethodV(Thread* self, const Method* method, Object* obj,
bool fromJni, JValue* pResult, va_list args)
{
...
if (dvmIsNativeMethod(method)) {
TRACE_METHOD_ENTER(self, method);
/*
* Because we leave no space for local variables, "curFrame" points
* directly at the method arguments.
*/
(*method->nativeFunc)((u4*)self->interpSave.curFrame, pResult,
method, self);
TRACE_METHOD_EXIT(self, method);
} else {
dvmInterpret(self, method, pResult);
}
…
}
如果method是个native的函数，那么就直接调用nativeFunc这个函数指针，否则就调用dvmInterpret代码，dvmInterpret就是解释器的入口。
如果把Dalvik函数执行的调用栈画出来，我们会更清楚整个流程。
public class HelloWorld {
public int foo(int i, int j){
int k = i + j;
return k;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print(new HelloWorld().foo(1, 2));
}
}
Dalvik虚拟机有两个栈，一个Java栈，一个是VM的native栈，vm的栈是OS的函数调用栈，Java的栈则是由VM管理的栈，每次在dvmCallMethod的时候，在Method执行之前，会调用dvmPushInterpFrame(java→java)或者dvmPushJNIFrame(java→native)，JNI的Frame比InterpFrame少了局部变量的栈空间，native函数的局部变量是在vm的native栈里，由OS负责压栈出栈。DvmCallMethod结束的时候会调用dvmPopFrame做Java Stack的出栈。
所以Java Method的执行就是dvmInterpret函数对这个Method的字节码做解析，函数的实参与局部变量都在Java的Stack里获取。SaveBlock是StackSaveArea数据结构，里面包含了当前函数对应的栈信息，包括返回地址等。而Native Method的执行就是Method的nativeFunc的执行，实参和局部变量都是在VM的native stack里。
Method的nativeFunc是native函数的入口，dalvik虚拟机上的java 的函数hook技术，都是通过改变Method的属性，SET_METHOD_FLAG(method, ACC_NATIVE)，伪装成native函数，再设置nativeFunc作为钩子函数，从而实现hook功能。很显然，hook了的method不再具有多态性。
void dvmResolveNativeMethod(const u4* args, JValue* pResult,
const Method* method, Thread* self)
{
ClassObject* clazz = method->clazz;
/*
* If this is a static method, it could be called before the class
* has been initialized.
*/
if (dvmIsStaticMethod(method)) {
if (!dvmIsClassInitialized(clazz) && !dvmInitClass(clazz)) {
assert(dvmCheckException(dvmThreadSelf()));
return;
}
} else {
assert(dvmIsClassInitialized(clazz) ||
dvmIsClassInitializing(clazz));
}
/* start with our internal-native methods */
DalvikNativeFunc infunc = dvmLookupInternalNativeMethod(method);
if (infunc != NULL) {
/* resolution always gets the same answer, so no race here */
IF_LOGVV() {
char* desc = dexProtoCopyMethodDescriptor(&method->prototype);
LOGVV("+++ resolved native %s.%s %s, invoking",
clazz->descriptor, method->name, desc);
free(desc);
}
if (dvmIsSynchronizedMethod(method)) {
ALOGE("ERROR: internal-native can't be declared 'synchronized'");
ALOGE("Failing on %s.%s", method->clazz->descriptor, method->name);
dvmAbort(); // harsh, but this is VM-internal problem
}
DalvikBridgeFunc dfunc = (DalvikBridgeFunc) infunc;
dvmSetNativeFunc((Method*) method, dfunc, NULL);
dfunc(args, pResult, method, self);
return;
}
/* now scan any DLLs we have loaded for JNI signatures */
void* func = lookupSharedLibMethod(method);
if (func != NULL) {
/* found it, point it at the JNI bridge and then call it */
dvmUseJNIBridge((Method*) method, func);
(*method->nativeFunc)(args, pResult, method, self);
return;
}
IF_ALOGW() {
char* desc = dexProtoCopyMethodDescriptor(&method->prototype);
ALOGW("No implementation found for native %s.%s:%s",
clazz->descriptor, method->name, desc);
free(desc);
}
dvmThrowUnsatisfiedLinkError("Native method not found", method);
}
dvmResolveNativeMethod首先会调用dvmLookupInternalNativeMethod查询这个函数是否预置的函数，主要是查下面的函数集：
static DalvikNativeClass gDvmNativeMethodSet[] = { { "Ljava/lang/Object;", dvm_java_lang_Object, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Class;", dvm_java_lang_Class, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Double;", dvm_java_lang_Double, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Float;", dvm_java_lang_Float, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Math;", dvm_java_lang_Math, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Runtime;", dvm_java_lang_Runtime, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/String;", dvm_java_lang_String, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/System;", dvm_java_lang_System, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/Throwable;", dvm_java_lang_Throwable, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/VMClassLoader;", dvm_java_lang_VMClassLoader, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/VMThread;", dvm_java_lang_VMThread, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject;",
dvm_java_lang_reflect_AccessibleObject, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/Array;", dvm_java_lang_reflect_Array, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/Constructor;",
dvm_java_lang_reflect_Constructor, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/Field;", dvm_java_lang_reflect_Field, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/Method;", dvm_java_lang_reflect_Method, 0 },
{ "Ljava/lang/reflect/Proxy;", dvm_java_lang_reflect_Proxy, 0 },
{ "Ljava/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicLong;",
dvm_java_util_concurrent_atomic_AtomicLong, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/bytecode/OpcodeInfo;", dvm_dalvik_bytecode_OpcodeInfo, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/system/VMDebug;", dvm_dalvik_system_VMDebug, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/system/DexFile;", dvm_dalvik_system_DexFile, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/system/VMRuntime;", dvm_dalvik_system_VMRuntime, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/system/Zygote;", dvm_dalvik_system_Zygote, 0 },
{ "Ldalvik/system/VMStack;", dvm_dalvik_system_VMStack, 0 },
{ "Lorg/apache/harmony/dalvik/ddmc/DdmServer;",
dvm_org_apache_harmony_dalvik_ddmc_DdmServer, 0 },
{ "Lorg/apache/harmony/dalvik/ddmc/DdmVmInternal;",
dvm_org_apache_harmony_dalvik_ddmc_DdmVmInternal, 0 },
{ "Lorg/apache/harmony/dalvik/NativeTestTarget;",
dvm_org_apache_harmony_dalvik_NativeTestTarget, 0 },
{ "Lsun/misc/Unsafe;", dvm_sun_misc_Unsafe, 0 },
{ NULL, NULL, 0 },
};
不是内置的话，就会加载so库，查询对应的native函数，查询的规则就是我们熟知的了，com.xx.Helloworld.foobar对应com_xx_Helloworld_foobar。要注意的是，这个函数并不是nativeFunc，接下来的dvmUseJNIBridge调用里，dvmCallJNIMethod会作为nativeFunc，这个函数主要需要将之前提到的java stack frame里的ins实参，转译成jni的函数调用参数。xposed/dexposed就会自己设置自己的nativeFun自己接管native函数的执行。
dvmInterpret是解释器的代码入口，代码位置在interp/Interp.cpp
void dvmInterpret(Thread* self, const Method* method, JValue* pResult){
InterpSaveState interpSaveState;
ExecutionSubModes savedSubModes;
. . .
interpSaveState = self->interpSave;
self->interpSave.prev = &interpSaveState;
. . .
self->interpSave.method = method;
self->interpSave.curFrame = (u4*) self->interpSave.curFrame;
self->interpSave.pc = method->insns;
. . .
typedef void (*Interpreter)(Thread*);
Interpreter stdInterp;
if (gDvm.executionMode == kExecutionModeInterpFast)
stdInterp = dvmMterpStd;
#if defined(WITH_JIT)
else if (gDvm.executionMode == kExecutionModeJit ||
gDvm.executionMode == kExecutionModeNcgO0 ||
gDvm.executionMode == kExecutionModeNcgO1)
stdInterp = dvmMterpStd;
#endif
else
stdInterp = dvmInterpretPortable;
// Call the interpreter
(*stdInterp)(self);
*pResult = self->interpSave.retval;
/* Restore interpreter state from previous activation */
self->interpSave = interpSaveState;
#if defined(WITH_JIT)
dvmJitCalleeRestore(calleeSave);
#endif
if (savedSubModes != kSubModeNormal) {
dvmEnableSubMode(self, savedSubModes);
}
}
Thread的一个很重要的field就是interpSave，是InterpSaveState类型的，里面包含了当前函数，pc，当前栈帧等重要的变量，dvmInterpret一开始调用的时候就会初始化。
Dalvik解释器有两个，一个是dvmInterpretPortable，一个是 dvmMterpStd。两者的区别在于，前者是从c++实现，后者是汇编实现。
dvmInterpretPortable是在vm/mterp/out/InterpC-portable.cpp中定义
void dvmInterpretPortable(Thread* self)
{
. . .
DvmDex* methodClassDex; // curMethod->clazz->pDvmDex
JValue retval;
/* core state */
const Method* curMethod; // method we're interpreting
const u2* pc; // program counter
u4* fp; // frame pointer
u2 inst; // current instruction
/* instruction decoding */
u4 ref; // 16 or 32-bit quantity fetched directly
u2 vsrc1, vsrc2, vdst; // usually used for register indexes
/* method call setup */
const Method* methodToCall;
bool methodCallRange;
/* static computed goto table */
DEFINE_GOTO_TABLE(handlerTable);
/* copy state in */
curMethod = self->interpSave.method;
pc = self->interpSave.pc;
fp = self->interpSave.curFrame;
retval = self->interpSave.retval;
methodClassDex = curMethod->clazz->pDvmDex;
. . .
FINISH(0); /* fetch and execute first instruction */
/*--- start of opcodes ---*/
/* File: c/OP_NOP.cpp */
HANDLE_OPCODE(OP_NOP)
FINISH(1);
OP_END
/* File: c/OP_MOVE.cpp */
HANDLE_OPCODE(OP_MOVE /*vA, vB*/)
vdst = INST_A(inst);
vsrc1 = INST_B(inst);
ILOGV("|move%s v%d,v%d %s(v%d=0x%08x)",
(INST_INST(inst) == OP_MOVE) ? "" : "-object", vdst, vsrc1,
kSpacing, vdst, GET_REGISTER(vsrc1));
SET_REGISTER(vdst, GET_REGISTER(vsrc1));
FINISH(1);
OP_END
…..
}
解释器的指令执行是通过跳转表来实现，DEFINE_GOTO_TABLE(handlerTable)定义了指令Op的goto表。
FINISH(0)，则表示从第一条指令开始执行，
# define FINISH(_offset) { \
ADJUST_PC(_offset); \
inst = FETCH(0); \
if (self->interpBreak.ctl.subMode) { \
dvmCheckBefore(pc, fp, self); \
} \
goto *handlerTable[INST_INST(inst)]; \
}
#define FETCH(_offset) (pc[(_offset)])
FETCH(0)获得当前要执行的指令，通过查跳转表handlerTable来跳转到这条指令的执行点，就是函数后面的HANDLE_OPCODE的定义。
后者是针对不同平台做过优化的解释器。
dvmMterpStd会做汇编级的优化，dvmMterpStdRun的入口就是针对不同的平台指令集，有对应的解释器代码，比如armv7 neon对应的代码就在mterp/out/InterpAsm-armv7-a-neon.S。
dvmMterpStdRun:#define MTERP_ENTRY1 \
.save {r4-r10,fp,lr}; \
stmfd sp!, {r4-r10,fp,lr} @ save 9 regs
#define MTERP_ENTRY2 \
.pad #4; \
sub sp, sp, #4 @ align 64
.fnstart
MTERP_ENTRY1
MTERP_ENTRY2
/* save stack pointer, add magic word for debuggerd */
str sp, [r0, #offThread_bailPtr] @ save SP for eventual return
/* set up "named" registers, figure out entry point */
mov rSELF, r0 @ set rSELF
LOAD_PC_FP_FROM_SELF() @ load rPC and rFP from "thread"
ldr rIBASE, [rSELF, #offThread_curHandlerTable] @ set rIBASE
. . .
/* start executing the instruction at rPC */
FETCH_INST() @ load rINST from rPC
GET_INST_OPCODE(ip) @ extract opcode from rINST
GOTO_OPCODE(ip) @ jump to next instruction
. . .
#define rPC r4
#define rFP r5
#define rSELF r6
#define rINST r7
#define rIBASE r8
非jit的情况下，先是FETCH_INST把pc的指令加载到rINST寄存器，之后GET_INST_OPCODE获得操作码 and _reg, rINST, #255，是把rINST的低16位给ip寄存器，GOTO_OPCODE跳转到对应的地址。
#define GOTO_OPCODE(_reg) add pc, rIBASE, _reg, lsl #6
rIBASE 指向的curHandlerTable是跳转表的首地址，GOTO_OPCODE(ip)就将pc的地址指向该指令对应的操作码所在的跳转表地址。
static Thread* allocThread(int interpStackSize)#ifndef DVM_NO_ASM_INTERP
thread->mainHandlerTable = dvmAsmInstructionStart;
thread->altHandlerTable = dvmAsmAltInstructionStart;
thread->interpBreak.ctl.curHandlerTable = thread->mainHandlerTable;
#endif
可见dvmAsmInstructionStart就是跳转表的入口，定义在dvmMterpStdRun里，
你可以在这里找到所有的Java字节码的指令对应的解释器代码。
比如new操作符对应的代码如下，先加载Thread.interpSave.methodClassDex，这是一个DvmDex指针，随后加载 DvmDex的pResClasses来查找类是否加载过，如果没加载过，那么跳转到 LOP_NEW_INSTANCE_resolve去加载类，如果加载过，就是类的初始化以及AllocObject的处理。LOP_NEW_INSTANCE_resolve就是调用clazz的dvmResolveClass加载。
