ProcessState、PoolThread

/frameworks/native/libs/binder/ProcessState.cpp

/frameworks/native/include/binder/ProcessState.h

1、ddms中，选中某个APP进程后，查看thread视图，会看到很多下面的thread：Binder_N

void ProcessState::startThreadPool()
{
    AutoMutex _l(mLock);
    if (!mThreadPoolStarted) {
        mThreadPoolStarted = true;
        spawnPooledThread(true);
    }
}

void ProcessState::spawnPooledThread(bool isMain)
{
    if (mThreadPoolStarted) {
        String8 name = makeBinderThreadName();
        ALOGV("Spawning new pooled thread, name=%s\n", name.string());
        sp<Thread> t = new PoolThread(isMain);    =》
        t->run(name.string());
    }
}

String8 ProcessState::makeBinderThreadName() {
    int32_t s = android_atomic_add(1, &mThreadPoolSeq);
    String8 name;
    name.appendFormat("Binder_%X", s);  =》这里给thread起名
    return name;
}

2、PoolThread定义在ProcessState.cpp文件中（Android有定义了一个C++类型的Thread类）

class PoolThread : public Thread
{
public:
    PoolThread(bool isMain)
        : mIsMain(isMain)
    {
    }
    
protected:
    virtual bool threadLoop()
    {
        IPCThreadState::self()->joinThreadPool(mIsMain);
        return false;
    }
    
    const bool mIsMain;
};

/system/core/libutils/Threads.cpp

int Thread::_threadLoop(void* user)
{
    Thread* const self = static_cast<Thread*>(user);

    sp<Thread> strong(self->mHoldSelf);
    wp<Thread> weak(strong);
    self->mHoldSelf.clear();

#ifdef HAVE_ANDROID_OS
    // this is very useful for debugging with gdb
    self->mTid = gettid();
#endif

    bool first = true;

    do {
        bool result;
        if (first) {
            first = false;
            self->mStatus = self->readyToRun();
            result = (self->mStatus == NO_ERROR);

            if (result && !self->exitPending()) {
                // Binder threads (and maybe others) rely on threadLoop
                // running at least once after a successful ::readyToRun()
                // (unless, of course, the thread has already been asked to exit
                // at that point).
                // This is because threads are essentially used like this:
                //   (new ThreadSubclass())->run();
                // The caller therefore does not retain a strong reference to
                // the thread and the thread would simply disappear after the
                // successful ::readyToRun() call instead of entering the
                // threadLoop at least once.
                result = self->threadLoop();    =》最终是调用派生类重写的threadLoop()方法
            }
        } else {
            result = self->threadLoop();
        }

        // establish a scope for mLock
        {
        Mutex::Autolock _l(self->mLock);
        if (result == false || self->mExitPending) {
            self->mExitPending = true;
            self->mRunning = false;
            // clear thread ID so that requestExitAndWait() does not exit if
            // called by a new thread using the same thread ID as this one.
            self->mThread = thread_id_t(-1);
            // note that interested observers blocked in requestExitAndWait are
            // awoken by broadcast, but blocked on mLock until break exits scope
            self->mThreadExitedCondition.broadcast();
            break;
        }
        }
        
        // Release our strong reference, to let a chance to the thread
        // to die a peaceful death.
        strong.clear();
        // And immediately, re-acquire a strong reference for the next loop
        strong = weak.promote();
    } while(strong != 0);
    
    return 0;
}

/system/core/include/utils/Thread.h

private:
    // Derived class must implement threadLoop(). The thread starts its life
    // here. There are two ways of using the Thread object:
    // 1) loop: if threadLoop() returns true, it will be called again if
    //          requestExit() wasn't called.
    // 2) once: if threadLoop() returns false, the thread will exit upon return.
    virtual bool        threadLoop() = 0;   =》线程执行的方法体，派生类要实现，在PoolThread中实现了该方法

private:
    Thread& operator=(const Thread&);
    static  int             _threadLoop(void* user);  =》线程的内部方法，最后会调用threadLoop()
