关于 Android System Properties

App 可以访问 Build.java 里面的变量获取系统相关信息，例如 Build.PRODUCT,  Build.DEVICE等信息，

这个文件位置在  frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Build.java :

/**
 * Information about the current build, extracted from system properties.
 */
public class Build {
    private static final String TAG = "Build";

    /** Value used for when a build property is unknown. */
    public static final String UNKNOWN = "unknown";

    /** Either a changelist number, or a label like "M4-rc20". */
    public static final String ID = getString("ro.build.id");

    /** A build ID string meant for displaying to the user */
    public static final String DISPLAY = getString("ro.build.display.id");

    /** The name of the overall product. */
    public static final String PRODUCT = getString("ro.product.name");

    /** The name of the industrial design. */
    public static final String DEVICE = getString("ro.product.device");

    /** The name of the underlying board, like "goldfish". */
    public static final String BOARD = getString("ro.product.board");

Build类调用 SystemProperties 类，然后调用 frameworks/base/core/jni/android_os_SystemProperties.cpp 文件，

jni中调用 property_get 函数， 在property_service.c中调用 __system_property_get函数，这个函数在bionic/libc/bionic/system_properties.c文件中

要扩展系统属性，需要编辑 device/xxxx/system.prop 文件。

读写属性的代码：system/core/init/property_service.c

属性权限定义：external/sepolicy/property_contexts
