android系统的启动流程图

1.第一个系统进程--Init

Init是Android中第一个被启动的进程,init的PID为0,它主要的工作是解析init.rc()脚本来构建出系统的初始运行形态。init.rc可用于控制android系统启动状态。它在system/core/rootdir路经下。
Init解析启动的主要的系统进程

service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server #启动zygote服务进程。Zygote是系统的“孵化器”,负责生产“进程”

service servicemanager /system/bin/servicemanager #是Binder机制中“DNS服务器”,负责域名(某Binder服务在ServiceManager注册时提供的名称)到IP地址(由底层Binder驱动分配的值)的解析。

service ueventd /sbin/ueventd #负责设备节点的创建、权限设定等一些列工作

service adbd /sbin/adbd #adbd是android debug bridge daemon 的缩写,它为开发者与设备之间建立了一条通道

srvice vold /system/bin/vold  #管理和控制Android平台外部存储设备,包括SD插拨、挂载、卸载、格式化等

service debuggerd /system/bin/debuggerd #此进程可以侦测到程序崩溃,并将崩溃时的进程状态信息输出到文件和串口中,以供开发人员分析调试使用

service media /system/bin/mediaserver
service drm /system/bin/drmserver
service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild
service keystore /system/bin/keystore /data/misc/keystore

2.“DNS服务器”--ServiceManager

ServiceManager是Binder机制中“DNS服务器”,负责域名(Binder在ServiceManager注册的名称)到IP地址(Binder Driver分配的值)的解析。
ServiceManager和Zygote一样是由Init进程启动的。在init.rc的脚本如下
service servicemanager /system/bin/servicemanager

3.Zygote进程孕育新进程

3.1.zygote的内部启动过程

3.1.1.zygote是第一个虚拟机进程

service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start-system-server
从zygote的解析脚本可以看出zygote是通过/system/bin/app_process来加载的,查看app_main.cpp源代码

int main(int argc, const char* const argv[])
{
    // These are global variables in ProcessState.cpp
    mArgC = argc;
    mArgV = argv;

    mArgLen = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<argc; i++) {
        mArgLen += strlen(argv[i]) + 1;
    }
    mArgLen--;

    AppRuntime runtime;
   //...
        while (i < argc) {
        const char* arg = argv[i++];
        if (!parentDir) {
            parentDir = arg;
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--zygote") == 0) {
            zygote = true;
            niceName = "zygote";
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--start-system-server") == 0) {
            startSystemServer = true;
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--application") == 0) {
            application = true;
        } else if (strncmp(arg, "--nice-name=", 12) == 0) {
            niceName = arg + 12;
        } else {
            className = arg;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (niceName && *niceName) {
        setArgv0(argv0, niceName);
        set_process_name(niceName);
    }

    runtime.mParentDir = parentDir;

    if (zygote) {//创建第一个虚拟机进程Zygote
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit",
                startSystemServer ? "start-system-server" : "");
    } else if (className) {
        // Remainder of args get passed to startup class main()
        runtime.mClassName = className;
        runtime.mArgC = argc - i;
        runtime.mArgV = argv + i;
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit",
                application ? "application" : "tool");
    } else {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error: no class name or --zygote supplied.\n");
        app_usage();
        LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("app_process: no class name or --zygote supplied.");
        return 10;
    }
}

从传入的–zygote –start-system-server参数可知,app_process接下来将通过AppRuntime.start启动虚拟机和调用ZygoteInit对应main()的并且传入“start-system-server”。其关键源码如下

/*
 * Start the Android runtime.  This involves starting the virtual machine
 * and calling the "static void main(String[] args)" method in the class
 * named by "className".
 *
 * Passes the main function two arguments, the class name and the specified
 * options string.
 */
void AndroidRuntime::start(const char* className, const char* options)
{
   //..
    /* start the virtual machine */
    JNIEnv* env;
    if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env) != 0) {
        return;
    }
    onVmCreated(env);

   //...
}

因此可以知道Zygote是一个虚拟机进程。它是所有APK应用进程的父进程。

3.1.2.启动Socket服务

Zygote的Socket服务端口用于监听Client的Socket请求,孵化出新的应用进程。该LocalServerSocket是采用非阻塞模式,在runSelectLoop进入非阻塞读操作,首先将sServerSocket加入到被监测的文件描述符列表中,然后在while循环中将列表加入到select的列表中。

zygote虚拟机加载的第一个java类是ZygoteInit.java,它的入口main源码如下

public static void main(String argv[]) {
        try {
            //...
            registerZygoteSocket(socketName);//注册Socket
            //....
            if (startSystemServer) {
                startSystemServer(abiList, socketName);//启动SystemServer
            }
            preload();//预加载资源文件
            Log.i(TAG, "Accepting command socket connections");
            runSelectLoop(abiList); //非阻塞式监听
            //...
                }


/**
     * Registers a server socket for zygote command connections
     *
     * @throws RuntimeException when open fails
     */
    private static void registerZygoteSocket(String socketName) {
        if (sServerSocket == null) {
            int fileDesc;
            final String fullSocketName = ANDROID_SOCKET_PREFIX + socketName;
            try {
                String env = System.getenv(fullSocketName);
                fileDesc = Integer.parseInt(env);
            } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException(fullSocketName + " unset or invalid", ex);
            }

            try {
                sServerSocket = new LocalServerSocket(
                        createFileDescriptor(fileDesc));
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "Error binding to local socket '" + fileDesc + "'", ex);
            }
        }
    }


     private static void runSelectLoop(String abiList) throws MethodAndArgsCaller {
        ArrayList<FileDescriptor> fds = new ArrayList<FileDescriptor>();
        ArrayList<ZygoteConnection> peers = new ArrayList<ZygoteConnection>();
        FileDescriptor[] fdArray = new FileDescriptor[4];
        //将sServerSocket加入被监测的文件描述符列表中
        fds.add(sServerSocket.getFileDescriptor());
        peers.add(null);

        int loopCount = GC_LOOP_COUNT;
        while (true) {
            int index;

          //...
            try {
                //将该文件描述符添加到select的列表中
                fdArray = fds.toArray(fdArray);
                index = selectReadable(fdArray);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Error in select()", ex);
            }

            if (index < 0) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Error in select()");
            } else if (index == 0) {
                ZygoteConnection newPeer = acceptCommandPeer(abiList);
                peers.add(newPeer);
                fds.add(newPeer.getFileDescriptor());
            } else {
                boolean done;
                //调用ZygoteConnection类的runOnce函数处理一个Socket接收到的命令
                done = peers.get(index).runOnce();

                if (done) {
                    peers.remove(index);
                    fds.remove(index);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    boolean runOnce() throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
            //...
            //fork出一个子进程,即一个新的应用进程。
              pid = Zygote.forkAndSpecialize(parsedArgs.uid, parsedArgs.gid, parsedArgs.gids,
                    parsedArgs.debugFlags, rlimits, parsedArgs.mountExternal, parsedArgs.seInfo,
                    parsedArgs.niceName, fdsToClose, parsedArgs.instructionSet,
                    parsedArgs.appDataDir);
            checkTime(startTime, "zygoteConnection.runOnce: postForkAndSpecialize");
      //...
        try {
            if (pid == 0) { //pid=0为子进程
                // in child
                IoUtils.closeQuietly(serverPipeFd);
                serverPipeFd = null;
                handleChildProc(parsedArgs, descriptors, childPipeFd, newStderr);

                // should never get here, the child is expected to either
                // throw ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller or exec().
                return true;
            } else {
                // in parent...pid of < 0 means failure
                IoUtils.closeQuietly(childPipeFd);
                childPipeFd = null;
                return handleParentProc(pid, descriptors, serverPipeFd, parsedArgs);
            }
        } finally {
            IoUtils.closeQuietly(childPipeFd);
            IoUtils.closeQuietly(serverPipeFd);
        }
    }
3.1.3预装共享的Framework层的类

预装的Framework层的类的列表位于frameworks/base/preload-class,该文件通过frameworks/base/tools/preload/WritePreloadedClassFile.java来生成。preload-class文件默认情况下有2000多个类,加载后被所有的虚拟机进程共享。

android.app.ActionBar
android.app.ActionBar$LayoutParams
android.app.Activity
android.app.ActivityManager
android.app.ActivityManagerNative
android.app.ActivityManagerNative$1
android.app.ActivityManagerProxy
android.app.ActivityThread
android.app.ActivityThread$1
android.app.ActivityThread$2
android.app.ActivityThread$ActivityClientRecord
android.app.ActivityThread$AppBindData
android.app.ActivityThread$ApplicationThread
android.app.ActivityThread$BindServiceData
android.app.ActivityThread$ContextCleanupInfo
android.app.ActivityThread$CreateServiceData
android.app.ActivityThread$GcIdler
android.app.ActivityThread$H
android.app.ActivityThread$Idler
android.app.ActivityThread$ProviderClientRecord
android.app.ActivityThread$ProviderRefCount
.....
.....

加载这些类是由刚刚的ZygoteInit类中的preloadClasses方法完成。

private static void preloadClasses() {
        final VMRuntime runtime = VMRuntime.getRuntime();

        InputStream is = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
                PRELOADED_CLASSES);
        //...
       //通过IO流的方式按行读取preload-class文件
      //加载对应的类 
      while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    // Skip comments and blank lines.
                    line = line.trim();
                    if (line.startsWith("#") || line.equals("")) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    Class.forName(line);

     }           
    //...
   }
3.1.4.预装共享的Resource资源

资源文件位于frameworks/base/core/res/res中,由ZygoteInit类中的preloadResources方法分别调用preloadDrawalbe和preloadColorStateLists方法。加载后把这些资源放到全局变量mResources中,被所有的虚拟机进程共享。

<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">

    <!-- Do not translate. These are all of the drawable resources that should be preloaded by
         the zygote process before it starts forking application processes. -->
    <array name="preloaded_drawables">
       <item>@drawable/toast_frame</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_pressed_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_pressed_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_focused_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_focused_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_disabled_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_disabled_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_on_disabled_focused_holo_light</item>

       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_focused_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_focused_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_disabled_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_disabled_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_disabled_focused_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_off_disabled_focused_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_check_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_radio_on_pressed_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_radio_on_pressed_holo_dark</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_radio_on_holo_light</item>
       <item>@drawable/btn_radio_on_holo_dark</item>
      .....
      .....

3.2.SystemServer进程

SystemServer进程是Zygote孵化出的第一个进程,由ZygoteInit.main调用startSystemServer()。startSystemServer关键源码

private static boolean startSystemServer(String abiList, String socketName){

     /* Hardcoded command line to start the system server */
        String args[] = {
            "--setuid=1000",
            "--setgid=1000",
            "--setgroups=1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008,1009,1010,1018,1032,3001,3002,3003,3006,3007",
            "--capabilities=" + capabilities + "," + capabilities,
            "--runtime-init",
            "--nice-name=system_server",
            "com.android.server.SystemServer",
        };
        //孵化出SystemServer进程
          pid = Zygote.forkSystemServer(
                    parsedArgs.uid, parsedArgs.gid,
                    parsedArgs.gids,
                    parsedArgs.debugFlags,
                    null,
                    parsedArgs.permittedCapabilities,
                    parsedArgs.effectiveCapabilities);

       /* For child process */
        if (pid == 0) {

            handleSystemServerProcess(parsedArgs);
        }
 }

3.2.1.SystemServer启动系统服务线程

SystemServer的main()方法调用run()方法,run()首先调用nativeInit()启动native层的service(SurfaceFlinger,AudioFliger等),然后调用startXXXService启动java层的service(ActivityManagerService,WindowManagerService,PackageManagerService等),源码如下

/**
     * The main entry point from zygote.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SystemServer().run();
    }
    private void run() {
        Looper.prepareMainLooper();
        // Initialize native services.
        nativeInit();
         // Initialize the system context.
        createSystemContext();
        // Start services.
        startBootstrapServices();
        startCoreServices();
        startOtherServices();
        Looper.loop();
    }

4.第一个activity

系统启动成功后SystemServer使用xxx.systemReady()通知各个服务,系统已经就绪,startOtherServices()调用ActivityManagerService.systemReady()方法,systemReady()最后一条语句调用了mStackSupervisor.resumeTopActivitiesLocked(),发出启动任务队列中最上面的Activity的消息。此时由于系统刚刚启动,所以调用了ActivityManagerService.startHomeActivityLocked()方法,然后发出一个Catagory字段包函android.intent.category.HOME的Intent,第一个activity启动,系统的Launcher和第三方程序都可以响应该Intent,源码如下。

Intent intent = new Intent(mTopAction, mTopData != null ? Uri.parse(mTopData) : null);
        intent.setComponent(mTopComponent);
        if (mFactoryTest != FactoryTest.FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL) {
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        }

启动的Activity为Launcher,路经在packages/apps/Launcher2/AndroidManifest.xml,源码如下。

<activity
            android:name="com.android.launcher2.Launcher"
            android:launchMode="singleTask"
            android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
            android:stateNotNeeded="true"
            android:theme="@style/Theme"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
            android:screenOrientation="nosensor">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
