当我们开机时,首先是启动Linux内核,在Linux内核中首先启动的是init进程,这个进程会去读取配置文件system\core\rootdir\init.rc配置文件,这个文件中配置了Android系统中第一个进程Zygote进程。Android中其他所有进程都是通过fork Zygote进程得来的。

在这里我只是先简单的分析代码中Android系统启动的大体过程:)

  • Step1 – init.rc
...
service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
    socket zygote stream 666
    onrestart write /sys/android_power/request_state wake
    onrestart write /sys/power/state on
    onrestart restart media

...
  • Step2 – init.c
void service_start(struct service *svc, const char *dynamic_args)
{
    pid_t pid;

    ...

    pid = fork();//创建子进程

    if (pid == 0) {//进入这个分支说明函数是在子进程中返回的,新的子进程就是zygote
        struct socketinfo *si;

        ...

        //创建通信使用的socket
        for (si = svc->sockets; si; si = si->next) {
            int s = create_socket(si->name,
                                  !strcmp(si->type, "dgram") ?
                                  SOCK_DGRAM : SOCK_STREAM,
                                  si->perm, si->uid, si->gid);
            if (s >= 0) {
                publish_socket(si->name, s);//发布到系统中
            }
        }

        ...

        //检查启动参数,如果没有就加载zygote应用程序文件
        if (!dynamic_args) {
            if (execve(svc->args[0], (char**) svc->args, (char**) ENV) < 0) {
                ERROR("cannot execve('%s'): %s\n", svc->args[0], strerror(errno));
            }
        } else {
        //否则就将参数合并到arg_ptrs数组中,在加载zygote应用程序文件
            char *arg_ptrs[SVC_MAXARGS+1];
            int arg_idx = svc->nargs;
            char *tmp = strdup(dynamic_args);
            char *next = tmp;
            char *bword;

            /* Copy the static arguments */
            memcpy(arg_ptrs, svc->args, (svc->nargs * sizeof(char *)));

            while((bword = strsep(&next, " "))) {
                arg_ptrs[arg_idx++] = bword;
                if (arg_idx == SVC_MAXARGS)
                    break;
            }
            arg_ptrs[arg_idx] = '\0';
            //Step3
            execve(svc->args[0], (char**) arg_ptrs, (char**) ENV);
        }
        _exit(127);
    }
}
  • Step3 – App_main.cpp

    AppRuntime runtime(argv[0], computeArgBlockSize(argc, argv));
