Android ro.serialno

ro.serialno不存在于任何属性文件，比如build.prop, default.prop等，而是在/system/core/init/init.c里由ro.boot.serialno 转换而来,而ro.boot.serialno的来源是/proc/cmdline,也就是linux kernel启动时被传入的cmdline, 由bootloader传入。 bootloader传进来的是androidboot.serialno， 而不是ro.boot.serialno，因为还要解析过cmdline ro.serialno的用处是来保存唯一设备号，在settings->about->status里会显示，也会用在USB device name里。 about->status 里获取serialno的流程： Build.SERIAL

system\core\init\init.c
具体看如下代码：

static void export_kernel_boot_props(void)
{
    char tmp[PROP_VALUE_MAX];
    int ret;
    unsigned i;
    struct {
        const char *src_prop;
        const char *dest_prop;
        const char *def_val;
    } prop_map[] = {
        { "ro.boot.serialno", "ro.serialno", "", },
        { "ro.boot.mode", "ro.bootmode", "unknown", },
        { "ro.boot.baseband", "ro.baseband", "unknown", },
        { "ro.boot.bootloader", "ro.bootloader", "unknown", },
    };

    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(prop_map); i++) {
        ret = property_get(prop_map[i].src_prop, tmp);
        if (ret > 0)
            property_set(prop_map[i].dest_prop, tmp);
        else
            property_set(prop_map[i].dest_prop, prop_map[i].def_val);
    }

    ret = property_get("ro.boot.console", tmp);
    if (ret)
        strlcpy(console, tmp, sizeof(console));

    /* save a copy for init's usage during boot */
    property_get("ro.bootmode", tmp);
    strlcpy(bootmode, tmp, sizeof(bootmode));

    /* if this was given on kernel command line, override what we read
     * before (e.g. from /proc/cpuinfo), if anything */
    ret = property_get("ro.boot.hardware", tmp);
    if (ret)
        strlcpy(hardware, tmp, sizeof(hardware));
    property_set("ro.hardware", hardware);

    snprintf(tmp, PROP_VALUE_MAX, "%d", revision);
    property_set("ro.revision", tmp);

    /* TODO: these are obsolete. We should delete them */
    if (!strcmp(bootmode,"factory"))
        property_set("ro.factorytest", "1");
    else if (!strcmp(bootmode,"factory2"))
        property_set("ro.factorytest", "2");
    else
        property_set("ro.factorytest", "0");
}
