本文详细解析了Android系统中ActivityManagerService如何为应用创建进程。从AMS发现需要启动的Activity所在进程不存在时开始，介绍了调用startProcessLocked创建新进程的过程，涉及与Zygote进程的通信、进程参数传递及新进程的初始化。
Android -- ActivityManagerService为应用创建进程流程简析
之前分析了Activity的启动过程，得知当系统发现当前Activity的宿主进程还不存在时，则会想先去为它创建一个进程，然后再去启动该Activity。这篇博文主要就介绍AMS为应用创建进程的过程，用来填充上一篇文章中不足的部分。
AMS在发现要启动的Activity所要处于的进程不存在时，就会去创建进程；这部分处理是调用AMS::startProcessLocked()函数实现的：
void ActivityStackSupervisor::startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r,
boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {
// Is this activity's application already running?
ProcessRecord app = mService.getProcessRecordLocked(r.processName,
r.info.applicationInfo.uid, true);
r.task.stack.setLaunchTime(r);
if (app != null && app.thread != null) {
try {
if ((r.info.flags&ActivityInfo.FLAG_MULTIPROCESS) == 0
|| !"android".equals(r.info.packageName)) {
// Don't add this if it is a platform component that is marked
// to run in multiple processes, because this is actually
// part of the framework so doesn't make sense to track as a
// separate apk in the process.
app.addPackage(r.info.packageName, r.info.applicationInfo.versionCode,
mService.mProcessStats);
}
realStartActivityLocked(r, app, andResume, checkConfig);//如果应用进程已经启动了,则调用该函数继续处理;其会触发类的onCreate()方法
return;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Exception when starting activity "
+ r.intent.getComponent().flattenToShortString(), e);
}
// If a dead object exception was thrown -- fall through to
// restart the application.
}
mService.startProcessLocked(r.processName, r.info.applicationInfo, true, 0,
"activity", r.intent.getComponent(), false, false, true);//应用进程没有启动,则去启动应用进程
}
final ProcessRecord startProcessLocked(String processName,
ApplicationInfo info, boolean knownToBeDead/*true*/, int intentFlags,
String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName, boolean allowWhileBooting/*false*/,
boolean isolated/*false*/, boolean keepIfLarge/*true*/) {
return startProcessLocked(processName, info, knownToBeDead, intentFlags, hostingType,
hostingName, allowWhileBooting, isolated, 0 /* isolatedUid */, keepIfLarge,
null /* ABI override */, null /* entryPoint */, null /* entryPointArgs */,
null /* crashHandler */);//为应用组件创建新进程
}
final ProcessRecord AMS::startProcessLocked(String processName, ApplicationInfo info,
boolean knownToBeDead/*true*/, int intentFlags, String hostingType, ComponentName hostingName,
boolean allowWhileBooting/*false*/, boolean isolated/*false*/, int isolatedUid, boolean keepIfLarge/*true*/,
String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs, Runnable crashHandler) {
long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
ProcessRecord app;
if (!isolated) {//isolated表示是否可以运行已存在的同名进程程中
app = getProcessRecordLocked(processName, info.uid, keepIfLarge);
...
} else {
// If this is an isolated process, it can't re-use an existing process.
app = null;
}
...
String hostingNameStr = hostingName != null
? hostingName.flattenToShortString() : null;
if (app == null) {//因为应用进程没有启动,所以这里app为null
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: creating new process record");
app = newProcessRecordLocked(info, processName, isolated, isolatedUid);//创建ProcessRecord对象,并保存在AMS::mProcessNames列表中
if (app == null) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Failed making new process record for "
+ processName + "/" + info.uid + " isolated=" + isolated);
return null;
}
app.crashHandler = crashHandler;
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: done creating new process record");
} else {
...
}
...
startProcessLocked(
app, hostingType, hostingNameStr, abiOverride, entryPoint, entryPointArgs);//调用startProcessLocked()创建进程
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: done starting proc!");
return (app.pid != 0) ? app : null;
}
在上一篇文章分析的场景中，我们点击运行的应用是第一次运行，则代码中的app为null，此时会调用startProcessLocked()函数去处理进程创建动作；
private final void AMS::startProcessLocked(ProcessRecord app, String hostingType,
String hostingNameStr, String abiOverride, String entryPoint, String[] entryPointArgs) {
long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
if (app.pid > 0 && app.pid != MY_PID) {
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: removing from pids map");
synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) {
mPidsSelfLocked.remove(app.pid);//把进程id先移除,防止重复
mHandler.removeMessages(PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG, app);//移除存在的PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG message,它会用来计算进程启动时间
}
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: done removing from pids map");
app.setPid(0);
}
...
try {
...
// Start the process. It will either succeed and return a result containing
// the PID of the new process, or else throw a RuntimeException.
boolean isActivityProcess = (entryPoint == null);
if (entryPoint == null) entryPoint = "android.app.ActivityThread";
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "Start proc: " +
app.processName);
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: asking zygote to start proc");
Process.ProcessStartResult startResult = Process.start(entryPoint,
app.processName, uid, uid, gids, debugFlags, mountExternal,
app.info.targetSdkVersion, app.info.seinfo, requiredAbi, instructionSet,
app.info.dataDir, entryPointArgs);//创建应用进程,并返回进程号;其中指定了该进程的入口函数为android.app.ActivityThread::main()
...
synchronized (mPidsSelfLocked) {//发送PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG消息,如果指定时间截止,应用还未启动成功,则会报ANR
this.mPidsSelfLocked.put(startResult.pid, app);//将创建的应用进程的进程号和ProcessRecord实例保存起来
if (isActivityProcess) {
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(PROC_START_TIMEOUT_MSG);
msg.obj = app;
mHandler.sendMessageDelayed(msg, startResult.usingWrapper
? PROC_START_TIMEOUT_WITH_WRAPPER : PROC_START_TIMEOUT);
}
}
checkTime(startTime, "startProcess: done updating pids map");
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
...
}
}
Process::start()的实现如下：
public static final ProcessStartResult start(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
int uid, int gid, int[] gids,
int debugFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String[] zygoteArgs) {
try {
return startViaZygote(processClass, niceName, uid, gid, gids,
debugFlags, mountExternal, targetSdkVersion, seInfo,
abi, instructionSet, appDataDir, zygoteArgs);
} catch (ZygoteStartFailedEx ex) {
...
}
}
private static ProcessStartResult startViaZygote(final String processClass,
final String niceName,
final int uid, final int gid,
final int[] gids,
int debugFlags, int mountExternal,
int targetSdkVersion,
String seInfo,
String abi,
String instructionSet,
String appDataDir,
String[] extraArgs)
throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
synchronized(Process.class) {
ArrayList<String> argsForZygote = new ArrayList<String>();
// --runtime-args, --setuid=, --setgid=,
// and --setgroups= must go first
argsForZygote.add("--runtime-args");////表示剩余的arg列表应该传递给com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit，而不是直接处理
argsForZygote.add("--setuid=" + uid);
argsForZygote.add("--setgid=" + gid);
...
return zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult(openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(abi)/*与Zygote进程的zygote socket建立连接,得到输入/输出流*/, argsForZygote);//调用zygoteSendArgsAndGetResult();通过建立的与Zygote进程之间的socket,向Zygote发送创建新进程的请求
}
}
我们知道，Linux中子进程的创建采用复制的形式；系统在创建Zygote进程时，会根据init.rc中的配置为它创建一个名为"zygote"的socket，并以键值对的形式：以socket的名字为键,它对应的文件描述符为值发布到系统中。并且，Zygote进程初始化过程中会进入一个无限循环，并在此套接字上监听、接收来自AMS为应用创建子进程的请求。
基于此，我们就能知道AMS为了向Zygote父进程发送创建进程请求，就必须连接到"zygote"套接字上，并通过它向Zygote进程发送创建进程需要的数据。
了解这些之后，我们先分析Process::openZygoteSocketIfNeeded()函数的实现：
* Tries to open socket to Zygote process if not already open. If
* already open, does nothing. May block and retry.
*/
private static ZygoteState openZygoteSocketIfNeeded(String abi) throws ZygoteStartFailedEx {
if (primaryZygoteState == null || primaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {//如果当前的LocalSocket没有创建或者已经被关闭,则重新创建连接到"zygote"的LocalSocket
try {
primaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(ZYGOTE_SOCKET);//向Zygote进程的"zygote" Server端socket建立一个连接;并保存到Process.primaryZygoteState成员变量中
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to primary zygote", ioe);
}
}
if (primaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return primaryZygoteState;
}
// The primary zygote didn't match. Try the secondary.
if (secondaryZygoteState == null || secondaryZygoteState.isClosed()) {
try {
secondaryZygoteState = ZygoteState.connect(SECONDARY_ZYGOTE_SOCKET);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Error connecting to secondary zygote", ioe);
}
}
if (secondaryZygoteState.matches(abi)) {
return secondaryZygoteState;
}
throw new ZygoteStartFailedEx("Unsupported zygote ABI: " + abi);
}
ZygoteState::connect()函数实现：
public static class ZygoteState {
final LocalSocket socket;
final DataInputStream inputStream;
final BufferedWriter writer;
...
public static ZygoteState ZygoteState::connect(String socketAddress) throws IOException {
DataInputStream zygoteInputStream = null;

*/
final BufferedWriter writer = zygoteState.writer;
final DataInputStream inputStream = zygoteState.inputStream;

}
return result;
} catch (IOException ex) {

}
}
我们已经知道，Zygote进程启动的末尾，会进入一个循环，不断等待处理AMS发出的创建应用子进程的请求，这部分是在ZygoteInit中处理的：
/**
* Runs the zygote process's select loop. Accepts new connections as
* they happen, and reads commands from connections one spawn-request's
* worth at a time.

private static void ZygoteInit::runSelectLoop(String abiList) throws MethodAndArgsCaller {
ArrayList<FileDescriptor> fds = new ArrayList<FileDescriptor>();
ArrayList<ZygoteConnection> peers = new ArrayList<ZygoteConnection>();
fds.add(sServerSocket.getFileDescriptor());//将sServerSocket(zygote)代表的socket的文件描述符加入到fds集合中,进行监听
peers.add(null);
while (true) {//采用无线循环的方式来监听来自AMS的创建新应用进程的请求

throw new RuntimeException("poll failed", ex);
}
for (int i = pollFds.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if ((pollFds[i].revents & POLLIN) == 0) {
continue;
}
if (i == 0) {//如果i = 0,则说明某个服务已经通过zygote这个socket与Zygote这个进程创建了socket连接;注意,此时仅仅是创立连接(LocalSocket::connect());还未发送数据.AMS也是如此
ZygoteConnection newPeer = acceptCommandPeer(abiList);//ZygoteConnection对象表示每一个通过"zygote"与Zygote进程建立的连接

if (done) {//该次请求完成后,就移除这次的连接和对应的LocalSocket的文件描述符
peers.remove(i);
fds.remove(i);
}
}
}
}
}如果AMS作为Client端，连接到"zygote" Server端时，就会创建一个ZygoteConnection对象来描述这次连接：

}Zygote进程内部收到AMS发送过来的创建应用子进程的请求及数据后，会由ZygoteConnection类处理：

再回到前面，看新创建的进程是如何进入指定的ActivityThread::main()入口函数的：
private static void ZygoteInit::applicationInit(int targetSdkVersion, String[] argv, ClassLoader classLoader)
throws ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller {
// If the application calls System.exit(), terminate the process
// immediately without running any shutdown hooks. It is not possible to
// shutdown an Android application gracefully. Among other things, the
// Android runtime shutdown hooks close the Binder driver, which can cause
// leftover running threads to crash before the process actually exits.
nativeSetExitWithoutCleanup(true);
// We want to be fairly aggressive about heap utilization, to avoid
// holding on to a lot of memory that isn't needed.
VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetHeapUtilization(0.75f);
VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetSdkVersion(targetSdkVersion);
final Arguments args;
try {
args = new Arguments(argv);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
Slog.e(TAG, ex.getMessage());
// let the process exit
return;
}
// The end of of the RuntimeInit event (see #zygoteInit).
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
// Remaining arguments are passed to the start class's static main
invokeStaticMain(args.startClass, args.startArgs, classLoader);//如果是应用进程,它的入口函数进入ActivityThread::main();如果是System进程,则它的入口函数是com.android.server.SystemServer::main()
}

private static void ZygoteInit::invokeStaticMain(String className, String[] argv, ClassLoader classLoader)

*/
throw new ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller(m, argv);//抛出MethodAndArgsCaller异常,根据堆栈调用顺序,ZygoteInit::main()函数会捕获该异常:执行它的run(),如果是应用进程,调用ActivtyThread::main();如果是System进程,则它的入口函数是com.android.server.SystemServer::main()
}
由于Android子进程的创建采用fork()，子进程会得到从父进程(zygote)复制得来的堆栈调用信息；Zygote进程的入口函数是ZygoteInit::main()，从前述的代码分析，并结合之前Zygote进程启动的流程分析也可知，整个过程中唯一会处理该异常的地方就是ZygoteInit::main()：

if (abiList == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("No ABI list supplied.");
}
registerZygoteSocket(socketName);//为"zygote" socket创建一个Server端监听套接字,用来监听AMS创建新应用进程的请求;"zygote"在init进程解析Zygote进程启动时就已经创建.

throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}
PS：
对于采用ZygoteInit.MethodAndArgsCaller异常这种绕了一圈的方式来调用ActivityThread::main()的原因，这里摘一段罗大大的解释：
“AMS请求Zygote进程创建的应用程序的入口的函数为ActivityThread::main()，但是由于新创建的应用程序进程一开始就需要在内部初始化运行时库，以及启动Binder线程池，因此，当ActivityThread::main()被调用时，新创建的应用进程实际上已经执行了相当多的代码。为了使得新创建的应用程序进程感觉它的入口函数就是ActivityThread::main()，系统就不在AMS开始调用进程创建函数处调用，而是先抛出一个异常回到ZygoteInit::main()中，然后再间接地调用它，这样就可以巧妙地利用Java语言的异常处理机制来清理它前面的调用堆栈了。”
