Android SurfaceFlinger服务（五） ----- VSync信号的产生

Android为了增强界面流畅度引入了VSync机制。VSync信号一般由硬件产生，为了兼容一些老的机器，也可以软件产生。因些，就可以分为硬件VSync和软件VSync。VSync的生成逻辑主要在HWComposer里面。相关文件如下：

• frameworks/native/services/surfaceflinger/DisplayHardware/HWComposer.cpp
• frameworks/native/services/surfaceflinger/DisplayHardware/HWComposer.h

HWComposer在SurfaceFlinger的init函数里创建：

void SurfaceFlinger::init() {
    ALOGI(  "SurfaceFlinger's main thread ready to run. "
            "Initializing graphics H/W...");

    ......

    // Initialize the H/W composer object.  There may or may not be an
    // actual hardware composer underneath.
    mHwc = new HWComposer(this,
            *static_cast<HWComposer::EventHandler *>(this));
    
    ......
    
}

• SurfaceFlinger成员变量保存了HWComposer对象指针
• 创建HWComposer时，使用SurfaceFlinger作为参数传入

HWComposer::HWComposer(
        const sp<SurfaceFlinger>& flinger,
        EventHandler& handler)
    : mFlinger(flinger),
      mFbDev(0), mHwc(0), mNumDisplays(1),
      mCBContext(new cb_context),
      mEventHandler(handler),
      mDebugForceFakeVSync(false)
{
    ......

    bool needVSyncThread = true;

    // Note: some devices may insist that the FB HAL be opened before HWC.
    int fberr = loadFbHalModule();
    loadHwcModule();

    .......

    if (mHwc) {
