Android之Zygote（下）--- SystemServer详解

SystemServer是由zygote.forkSystemServer函数fork出来的子进程，forkSystemServer是一个native函数，

/dalvik/vm/native/dalvik_system_Zygote.c

static void Dalvik_dalvik_system_Zygote_forkSystemServer(
        const u4* args, JValue* pResult)
{
    pid_t pid;
    pid = forkAndSpecializeCommon(args, true);//fork一个子进程
    if (pid > 0) {
        int status;

        LOGI("System server process %d has been created", pid);
        gDvm.systemServerPid = pid; //保存了system_server进程的id
        if (waitpid(pid, &status, WNOHANG) == pid) { //检查刚才创建的子进程是否退出了
            LOGE("System server process %d has died. Restarting Zygote!", pid);
            kill(getpid(), SIGKILL); //system_server推出了
        }
    }
RETURN_INT(pid);

static pid_t forkAndSpecializeCommon(const u4* args, bool isSystemServer)
{
 setSignalHandler();   //设置信号处理函数
}
static void setSignalHandler() 
{
     sa.sa_handler = sigchldHandler;
    err = sigaction (SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL); //子进程死亡的信号
}
static void sigchldHandler(int s)
{
   if (pid == gDvm.systemServerPid) {
            LOG(LOG_INFO, ZYGOTE_LOG_TAG,
                "Exit zygote because system server (%d) has terminated\n", 
                (int) pid);
            kill(getpid(), SIGKILL); //死去的进程是SS zygote直接自杀
        }
}
}

SystemServer的使命（以下简称SS）

 可以看到在创建SS后，SS便会调用该方法
