我们知道，在Android系统中，提供了一个轻量级的日志系统，这个日志系统是以驱动程序的形式实现在内核空间的，而在用户空间分别提供了Java接口和C/C++接口来使用这个日志系统，取决于你编写的是Android应用程序还是系统组件。在前面的文章浅谈Android系统开发中LOG的使用中，已经简要地介绍了在Android应用程序开发中Log的使用方法，在这一篇文章中，我们将更进一步地分析Logger驱动程序的源代码，使得我们对Android日志系统有一个深刻的认识。
《Android系统源代码情景分析》一书正在进击的程序员网（http://0xcc0xcd.com）中连载，点击进入！
既然Android 日志系统是以驱动程序的形式实现在内核空间的，我们就需要获取Android内核源代码来分析了，请参照前面在Ubuntu上下载、编译和安装Android最新源代码和在Ubuntu上下载、编译和安装Android最新内核源代码（Linux Kernel）两篇文章，下载好Android源代码工程。Logger驱动程序主要由两个文件构成，分别是：
kernel/common/drivers/staging/android/logger.h
kernel/common/drivers/staging/android/logger.c
接下来，我们将分别介绍Logger驱动程序的相关数据结构，然后对Logger驱动程序源代码进行情景分析，分别日志系统初始化情景、日志读取情景和日志写入情景。
一. Logger驱动程序的相关数据结构。
我们首先来看logger.h头文件的内容：
#ifndef _LINUX_LOGGER_H
#define _LINUX_LOGGER_H
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/ioctl.h>
struct logger_entry {
__u16 len; /* length of the payload */
__u16 __pad; /* no matter what, we get 2 bytes of padding */
__s32 pid; /* generating process's pid */
__s32 tid; /* generating process's tid */
__s32 sec; /* seconds since Epoch */
__s32 nsec; /* nanoseconds */
char msg[0]; /* the entry's payload */
};
#define LOGGER_LOG_RADIO "log_radio" /* radio-related messages */
#define LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS "log_events" /* system/hardware events */
#define LOGGER_LOG_MAIN "log_main" /* everything else */
#define LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN (4*1024)
#define LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD \
(LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN - sizeof(struct logger_entry))
#define __LOGGERIO 0xAE
#define LOGGER_GET_LOG_BUF_SIZE _IO(__LOGGERIO, 1) /* size of log */
#define LOGGER_GET_LOG_LEN _IO(__LOGGERIO, 2) /* used log len */
#define LOGGER_GET_NEXT_ENTRY_LEN _IO(__LOGGERIO, 3) /* next entry len */
#define LOGGER_FLUSH_LOG _IO(__LOGGERIO, 4) /* flush log */
#endif /* _LINUX_LOGGER_H */接着定义两个宏：
#define LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN (4*1024)
#define LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD \
(LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN - sizeof(struct logger_entry))
从这两个宏可以看出，每条日志记录的有效负载长度加上结构体logger_entry的长度不能超过4K个字节。
logger.h文件中还定义了其它宏，读者可以自己分析，在下面的分析中，碰到时，我们也会详细解释。
再来看logger.c文件中，其它相关数据结构的定义：
/*
* struct logger_log - represents a specific log, such as 'main' or 'radio'
*
* This structure lives from module insertion until module removal, so it does
* not need additional reference counting. The structure is protected by the
* mutex 'mutex'.
*/
struct logger_log {
unsigned char * buffer; /* the ring buffer itself */
struct miscdevice misc; /* misc device representing the log */
wait_queue_head_t wq; /* wait queue for readers */
struct list_head readers; /* this log's readers */
struct mutex mutex; /* mutex protecting buffer */
size_t w_off; /* current write head offset */
size_t head; /* new readers start here */
size_t size; /* size of the log */
};
/*
* struct logger_reader - a logging device open for reading
*
* This object lives from open to release, so we don't need additional
* reference counting. The structure is protected by log->mutex.
*/
struct logger_reader {
struct logger_log * log; /* associated log */
struct list_head list; /* entry in logger_log's list */
size_t r_off; /* current read head offset */
};
/* logger_offset - returns index 'n' into the log via (optimized) modulus */
#define logger_offset(n) ((n) & (log->size - 1))结构体struct logger_reader用来表示一个读取日志的进程，log成员变量指向要读取的日志缓冲区。list成员变量用来连接其它读者进程。r_off成员变量表示当前要读取的日志在缓冲区中的位置。
struct logger_log结构体中用于保存日志信息的内存缓冲区buffer是一个循环使用的环形缓冲区，缓冲区中保存的内容是以struct logger_entry为单位的，每个单位的组成为：
struct logger_entry | priority | tag | msg
由于是内存缓冲区buffer是一个循环使用的环形缓冲区，给定一个偏移值，它在buffer中的位置由下logger_offset来确定：
#define logger_offset(n) ((n) & (log->size - 1))
二. Logger驱动程序模块的初始化过程分析。
继续看logger.c文件，定义了三个日志设备：
/*
* Defines a log structure with name 'NAME' and a size of 'SIZE' bytes, which
* must be a power of two, greater than LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN, and less than
* LONG_MAX minus LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN.
*/
#define DEFINE_LOGGER_DEVICE(VAR, NAME, SIZE) \
static unsigned char _buf_ ## VAR[SIZE]; \
static struct logger_log VAR = { \
.buffer = _buf_ ## VAR, \
.misc = { \
.minor = MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR, \
.name = NAME, \
.fops = &logger_fops, \
.parent = NULL, \
}, \
.wq = __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INITIALIZER(VAR .wq), \
.readers = LIST_HEAD_INIT(VAR .readers), \
.mutex = __MUTEX_INITIALIZER(VAR .mutex), \
.w_off = 0, \
.head = 0, \
.size = SIZE, \
};
DEFINE_LOGGER_DEVICE(log_main, LOGGER_LOG_MAIN, 64*1024)
DEFINE_LOGGER_DEVICE(log_events, LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS, 256*1024)
DEFINE_LOGGER_DEVICE(log_radio, LOGGER_LOG_RADIO, 64*1024) #define LOGGER_LOG_RADIO "log_radio" /* radio-related messages */
#define LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS "log_events" /* system/hardware events */
#define LOGGER_LOG_MAIN "log_main" /* everything else */
注释说明了这三个日志设备的用途。注册的日志设备文件操作方法为logger_fops：
static struct file_operations logger_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.read = logger_read,
.aio_write = logger_aio_write,
.poll = logger_poll,
.unlocked_ioctl = logger_ioctl,
.compat_ioctl = logger_ioctl,
.open = logger_open,
.release = logger_release,
};日志驱动程序模块的初始化函数为logger_init：
static int __init logger_init(void)
{
int ret;
ret = init_log(&log_main);
if (unlikely(ret))
goto out;
ret = init_log(&log_events);
if (unlikely(ret))
goto out;
ret = init_log(&log_radio);
if (unlikely(ret))
goto out;
out:
return ret;
}
device_initcall(logger_init);static int __init init_log(struct logger_log *log)
{
int ret;
ret = misc_register(&log->misc);
if (unlikely(ret)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "logger: failed to register misc "
"device for log '%s'!\n", log->misc.name);
return ret;
}
printk(KERN_INFO "logger: created %luK log '%s'\n",
(unsigned long) log->size >> 10, log->misc.name);
return 0;
}/**
* misc_register - register a miscellaneous device
* @misc: device structure
*
* Register a miscellaneous device with the kernel. If the minor
* number is set to %MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR a minor number is assigned
* and placed in the minor field of the structure. For other cases
* the minor number requested is used.
*
* The structure passed is linked into the kernel and may not be
* destroyed until it has been unregistered.
*
* A zero is returned on success and a negative errno code for
* failure.
*/
int misc_register(struct miscdevice * misc)
{
struct miscdevice *c;
dev_t dev;
int err = 0;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&misc->list);
mutex_lock(&misc_mtx);
list_for_each_entry(c, &misc_list, list) {
if (c->minor == misc->minor) {
mutex_unlock(&misc_mtx);
return -EBUSY;
}
}
if (misc->minor == MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR) {
int i = DYNAMIC_MINORS;
while (--i >= 0)
if ( (misc_minors[i>>3] & (1 << (i&7))) == 0)
break;
if (i<0) {
mutex_unlock(&misc_mtx);
return -EBUSY;
}
misc->minor = i;
}
if (misc->minor < DYNAMIC_MINORS)
misc_minors[misc->minor >> 3] |= 1 << (misc->minor & 7);
dev = MKDEV(MISC_MAJOR, misc->minor);
misc->this_device = device_create(misc_class, misc->parent, dev, NULL,
"%s", misc->name);
if (IS_ERR(misc->this_device)) {
err = PTR_ERR(misc->this_device);
goto out;
}
/*
* Add it to the front, so that later devices can "override"
* earlier defaults
*/
list_add(&misc->list, &misc_list);
out:
mutex_unlock(&misc_mtx);
return err;
}三. Logger驱动程序的日志记录读取过程分析。
继续看logger.c 文件，注册的读取日志设备文件的方法为logger_read：
/*
* logger_read - our log's read() method
*
* Behavior:
*
* - O_NONBLOCK works
* - If there are no log entries to read, blocks until log is written to
* - Atomically reads exactly one log entry
*
* Optimal read size is LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_LEN. Will set errno to EINVAL if read
* buffer is insufficient to hold next entry.
*/
static ssize_t logger_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *pos)
{
struct logger_reader *reader = file->private_data;
struct logger_log *log = reader->log;
ssize_t ret;
DEFINE_WAIT(wait);
start:
while (1) {
prepare_to_wait(&log->wq, &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
mutex_lock(&log->mutex);
ret = (log->w_off == reader->r_off);
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
if (!ret)
break;
if (file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) {
ret = -EAGAIN;
break;
}
if (signal_pending(current)) {
ret = -EINTR;
break;
}
schedule();
}
finish_wait(&log->wq, &wait);
if (ret)
return ret;
mutex_lock(&log->mutex);
/* is there still something to read or did we race? */
if (unlikely(log->w_off == reader->r_off)) {
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
goto start;
}
/* get the size of the next entry */
ret = get_entry_len(log, reader->r_off);
if (count < ret) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}
/* get exactly one entry from the log */
ret = do_read_log_to_user(log, reader, buf, ret);
out:
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
return ret;
}/*
* logger_open - the log's open() file operation
*
* Note how near a no-op this is in the write-only case. Keep it that way!
*/
static int logger_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
struct logger_log *log;
int ret;
ret = nonseekable_open(inode, file);
if (ret)
return ret;
log = get_log_from_minor(MINOR(inode->i_rdev));
if (!log)
return -ENODEV;
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) {
struct logger_reader *reader;
reader = kmalloc(sizeof(struct logger_reader), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!reader)
return -ENOMEM;
reader->log = log;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&reader->list);
mutex_lock(&log->mutex);
reader->r_off = log->head;
list_add_tail(&reader->list, &log->readers);
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
file->private_data = reader;
} else
file->private_data = log;
return 0;
}start标号处的while循环是在等待日志可读，如果已经没有新的日志可读了，那么就要读进程就要进入休眠状态，等待新的日志写入后再唤醒，这是通过prepare_wait和schedule两个调用来实现的。如果没有新的日志可读，并且设备文件不是以非阻塞O_NONBLOCK的方式打开或者这时有信号要处理（signal_pending(current)），那么就直接返回，不再等待新的日志写入。判断当前是否有新的日志可读的方法是：
ret = (log->w_off == reader->r_off);
即判断当前缓冲区的写入位置和当前读进程的读取位置是否相等，如果不相等，则说明有新的日志可读。
继续向下看，如果有新的日志可读，那么就，首先通过get_entry_len来获取下一条可读的日志记录的长度，从这里可以看出，日志读取进程是以日志记录为单位进行读取的，一次只读取一条记录。get_entry_len的函数实现如下：
/*
* get_entry_len - Grabs the length of the payload of the next entry starting
* from 'off'.
*
* Caller needs to hold log->mutex.
*/
static __u32 get_entry_len(struct logger_log *log, size_t off)
{
__u16 val;
switch (log->size - off) {
case 1:
memcpy(&val, log->buffer + off, 1);
memcpy(((char *) &val) + 1, log->buffer, 1);
break;
default:
memcpy(&val, log->buffer + off, 2);
}
return sizeof(struct logger_entry) + val;
}接着往下看，得到了要读取的记录的长度，就调用do_read_log_to_user函数来执行真正的读取动作：
static ssize_t do_read_log_to_user(struct logger_log *log,
struct logger_reader *reader,
char __user *buf,
size_t count)
{
size_t len;
/*
* We read from the log in two disjoint operations. First, we read from
* the current read head offset up to 'count' bytes or to the end of
* the log, whichever comes first.
*/
len = min(count, log->size - reader->r_off);
if (copy_to_user(buf, log->buffer + reader->r_off, len))
return -EFAULT;
/*
* Second, we read any remaining bytes, starting back at the head of
* the log.
*/
if (count != len)
if (copy_to_user(buf + len, log->buffer, count - len))
return -EFAULT;
reader->r_off = logger_offset(reader->r_off + count);
return count;
}四. Logger驱动程序的日志记录写入过程分析。
继续看logger.c 文件，注册的写入日志设备文件的方法为logger_aio_write：
/*
* logger_aio_write - our write method, implementing support for write(),
* writev(), and aio_write(). Writes are our fast path, and we try to optimize
* them above all else.
*/
ssize_t logger_aio_write(struct kiocb *iocb, const struct iovec *iov,
unsigned long nr_segs, loff_t ppos)
{
struct logger_log *log = file_get_log(iocb->ki_filp);
size_t orig = log->w_off;
struct logger_entry header;
struct timespec now;
ssize_t ret = 0;
now = current_kernel_time();
header.pid = current->tgid;
header.tid = current->pid;
header.sec = now.tv_sec;
header.nsec = now.tv_nsec;
header.len = min_t(size_t, iocb->ki_left, LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD);
/* null writes succeed, return zero */
if (unlikely(!header.len))
return 0;
mutex_lock(&log->mutex);
/*
* Fix up any readers, pulling them forward to the first readable
* entry after (what will be) the new write offset. We do this now
* because if we partially fail, we can end up with clobbered log
* entries that encroach on readable buffer.
*/
fix_up_readers(log, sizeof(struct logger_entry) + header.len);
do_write_log(log, &header, sizeof(struct logger_entry));
while (nr_segs-- > 0) {
size_t len;
ssize_t nr;
/* figure out how much of this vector we can keep */
len = min_t(size_t, iov->iov_len, header.len - ret);
/* write out this segment's payload */
nr = do_write_log_from_user(log, iov->iov_base, len);
if (unlikely(nr < 0)) {
log->w_off = orig;
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
return nr;
}
iov++;
ret += nr;
}
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
/* wake up any blocked readers */
wake_up_interruptible(&log->wq);
return ret;
}struct logger_entry | priority | tag | msg
其中， priority、tag和msg这三个段的内容是由iov参数从用户空间传递下来的，分别对应iov里面的三个元素。而logger_entry是由内核空间来构造的：
struct logger_entry header;
struct timespec now;
now = current_kernel_time();
header.pid = current->tgid;
header.tid = current->pid;
header.sec = now.tv_sec;
header.nsec = now.tv_nsec;
header.len = min_t(size_t, iocb->ki_left, LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD);
然后调用do_write_log首先把logger_entry结构体写入到日志缓冲区中：
/*
* do_write_log - writes 'len' bytes from 'buf' to 'log'
*
* The caller needs to hold log->mutex.
*/
static void do_write_log(struct logger_log *log, const void *buf, size_t count)
{
size_t len;
len = min(count, log->size - log->w_off);
memcpy(log->buffer + log->w_off, buf, len);
if (count != len)
memcpy(log->buffer, buf + len, count - len);
log->w_off = logger_offset(log->w_off + count);
}接着，通过一个while循环把iov的内容写入到日志缓冲区中，也就是日志的优先级别priority、日志Tag和日志主体Msg：
while (nr_segs-- > 0) {
size_t len;
ssize_t nr;
/* figure out how much of this vector we can keep */
len = min_t(size_t, iov->iov_len, header.len - ret);
/* write out this segment's payload */
nr = do_write_log_from_user(log, iov->iov_base, len);
if (unlikely(nr < 0)) {
log->w_off = orig;
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
return nr;
}
iov++;
ret += nr;
}static ssize_t do_write_log_from_user(struct logger_log *log,
const void __user *buf, size_t count)
{
size_t len;
len = min(count, log->size - log->w_off);
if (len && copy_from_user(log->buffer + log->w_off, buf, len))
return -EFAULT;
if (count != len)
if (copy_from_user(log->buffer, buf + len, count - len))
return -EFAULT;
log->w_off = logger_offset(log->w_off + count);
return count;
} /*
* Fix up any readers, pulling them forward to the first readable
* entry after (what will be) the new write offset. We do this now
* because if we partially fail, we can end up with clobbered log
* entries that encroach on readable buffer.
*/
fix_up_readers(log, sizeof(struct logger_entry) + header.len);/*
* fix_up_readers - walk the list of all readers and "fix up" any who were
* lapped by the writer; also do the same for the default "start head".
* We do this by "pulling forward" the readers and start head to the first
* entry after the new write head.
*
* The caller needs to hold log->mutex.
*/
static void fix_up_readers(struct logger_log *log, size_t len)
{
size_t old = log->w_off;
size_t new = logger_offset(old + len);
struct logger_reader *reader;
if (clock_interval(old, new, log->head))
log->head = get_next_entry(log, log->head, len);
list_for_each_entry(reader, &log->readers, list)
if (clock_interval(old, new, reader->r_off))
reader->r_off = get_next_entry(log, reader->r_off, len);
}/*
* get_next_entry - return the offset of the first valid entry at least 'len'
* bytes after 'off'.
*
* Caller must hold log->mutex.
*/
static size_t get_next_entry(struct logger_log *log, size_t off, size_t len)
{
size_t count = 0;
do {
size_t nr = get_entry_len(log, off);
off = logger_offset(off + nr);
count += nr;
} while (count < len);
return off;
}/*
* clock_interval - is a < c < b in mod-space? Put another way, does the line
* from a to b cross c?
*/
static inline int clock_interval(size_t a, size_t b, size_t c)
{
if (b < a) {
if (a < c || b >= c)
return 1;
} else {
if (a < c && b >= c)
return 1;
}
return 0;
} /* wake up any blocked readers */
wake_up_interruptible(&log->wq);
至此， Logger驱动程序的主要逻辑就分析完成了，还有其它的一些接口，如logger_poll、 logger_ioctl和logger_release函数，比较简单，读取可以自行分析。这里还需要提到的一点是，由于Logger驱动程序模块在退出系统时，是不会卸载的，所以这个模块没有module_exit函数，而对于模块里面定义的对象，也没有用对引用计数技术。
这篇文章着重介绍了Android日志系统在内核空间的实现，在下一篇文章中，我们将接着介绍在用户空间中，提供给Android应用程序使用的Java和C/C++ LOG调用接口的实现过程，敬请关注。
