zygote 孵化器孵化

init.rc

service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
    class main
    socket zygote stream 666
    onrestart write /sys/android_power/request_state wake
    onrestart write /sys/power/state on
    onrestart restart media
    onrestart restart netd

经过在init.c中的解析，后执行，相应的入口/system/bin/app_process，搜索下找到Android.mk找到其源码对应

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= \
	app_main.cpp

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \
	libcutils \
	libutils \
	libbinder \
	libandroid_runtime

LOCAL_MODULE:= app_process

include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

源码为app_main.cpp，上面的一串参数-Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server 会在下面被解析，相应的代码如下：

int main(int argc, const char* const argv[])
{
    // These are global variables in ProcessState.cpp
    mArgC = argc;
    mArgV = argv;

    mArgLen = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<argc; i++) {
        mArgLen += strlen(argv[i]) + 1;
    }
    mArgLen--;

    AppRuntime runtime;
    const char* argv0 = argv[0];

    // Process command line arguments
    // ignore argv[0]
    argc--;
    argv++;

    // Everything up to '--' or first non '-' arg goes to the vm

    int i = runtime.addVmArguments(argc, argv);

    // Parse runtime arguments.  Stop at first unrecognized option.
    bool zygote = false;
    bool startSystemServer = false;
    bool application = false;
    const char* parentDir = NULL;
    const char* niceName = NULL;
    const char* className = NULL;
    while (i < argc) {
        const char* arg = argv[i++];
        if (!parentDir) {
            parentDir = arg;
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--zygote") == 0) {
            zygote = true;
            niceName = "zygote";
        } 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 = arg + 12;
        } else {
            className = arg;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (niceName && *niceName) {
        setArgv0(argv0, niceName);
        set_process_name(niceName);//把之前Android.mk中的app_process进程名称修改为进程名：zygote
    }

    runtime.mParentDir = parentDir;

    if (zygote) {
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit",
                startSystemServer ? "start-system-server" : "");
    } else if (className) {
        // Remainder of args get passed to startup class main()
        runtime.mClassName = className;
        runtime.mArgC = argc - i;
        runtime.mArgV = argv + i;
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit",
                application ? "application" : "tool");
    } 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;
    }
}

根据传入的参数进行匹配判断后，执行如下代码：

  runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit",
                startSystemServer ? "start-system-server" : "");

即继承AndroidRuntime来的start方法

/*
 * 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 char* options)
{
    LOGD("\n>>>>>> AndroidRuntime START %s <<<<<<\n",
            className != NULL ? className : "(unknown)");

    blockSigpipe();

    /*
     * 'startSystemServer == true' means runtime is obsolete and not run from
     * init.rc anymore, so we print out the boot start event here.
     */
    if (strcmp(options, "start-system-server") == 0) {
        /* 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");
    //LOGD("Found LD_ASSUME_KERNEL='%s'\n", kernelHack);

    /* start the virtual machine */
    JNIEnv* env;
    if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env) != 0) {
        return;
    }
    onVmCreated(env);

    /*
     * Register android functions.
     */
    if (startReg(env) < 0) {
        LOGE("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;
    jstring optionsStr;

    stringClass = env->FindClass("java/lang/String");
    assert(stringClass != NULL);
    strArray = env->NewObjectArray(2, stringClass, NULL);
    assert(strArray != NULL);
    classNameStr = env->NewStringUTF(className);
    assert(classNameStr != NULL);
    env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, 0, classNameStr);
    optionsStr = env->NewStringUTF(options);
    env->SetObjectArrayElement(strArray, 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) {
        LOGE("JavaVM unable to locate class '%s'\n", slashClassName);
        /* keep going */
    } else {
        jmethodID startMeth = env->GetStaticMethodID(startClass, "main",
            "([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
        if (startMeth == NULL) {
            LOGE("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);

    LOGD("Shutting down VM\n");
    if (mJavaVM->DetachCurrentThread() != JNI_OK)
        LOGW("Warning: unable to detach main thread\n");
    if (mJavaVM->DestroyJavaVM() != 0)
        LOGW("Warning: VM did not shut down cleanly\n");
}

说明如下：

1、startVm(&mJavaVM, &env)  创建虚拟机

2、startReg(env) java调用natives的桥梁

3、env->CallStaticVoidMethod(startClass, startMeth, strArray);开启java世界

重点说明进入java世界，先找到其main方法

jmethodID startMeth = env->GetStaticMethodID(startClass, "main",
            "([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
 env->CallStaticVoidMethod(startClass, startMeth, strArray);

有关main方法的代码，需要进入ZygoteInit.java的main方法中

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        try {
            // Start profiling the zygote initialization.
            SamplingProfilerIntegration.start();

            registerZygoteSocket();
            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
            gc();

            // If requested, start system server directly from Zygote
            if (argv.length != 2) {
                throw new RuntimeException(argv[0] + USAGE_STRING);
            }

            if (argv[1].equals("start-system-server")) {
                startSystemServer();
            } else if (!argv[1].equals("")) {
                throw new RuntimeException(argv[0] + USAGE_STRING);
            }

            Log.i(TAG, "Accepting command socket connections");

            if (ZYGOTE_FORK_MODE) {
                runForkMode();
            } else {
                runSelectLoopMode();
            }

            closeServerSocket();
        } catch (MethodAndArgsCaller caller) {
            caller.run();
        } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Zygote died with exception", ex);
            closeServerSocket();
            throw ex;
        }
    }
