android zygote进程启动流程

一，启动入口

app_main.cpp

int main(int argc, char* const argv[])
{
    if (!LOG_NDEBUG) {
      String8 argv_String;
      for (int i = 0; i < argc; ++i) {
        argv_String.append("\"");
        argv_String.append(argv[i]);
        argv_String.append("\" ");
      }
      ALOGV("app_process main with argv: %s", argv_String.string());
    }

    AppRuntime runtime(argv[0], computeArgBlockSize(argc, argv));
    // Process command line arguments
    // ignore argv[0]
    argc--;
    argv++;

    // Everything up to '--' or first non '-' arg goes to the vm.
    //
    // The first argument after the VM args is the "parent dir", which
    // is currently unused.
    //
    // After the parent dir, we expect one or more the following internal
    // arguments :
    //
    // --zygote : Start in zygote mode
    // --start-system-server : Start the system server.
    // --application : Start in application (stand alone, non zygote) mode.
    // --nice-name : The nice name for this process.
    //
    // For non zygote starts, these arguments will be followed by
    // the main class name. All remaining arguments are passed to
    // the main method of this class.
    //
    // For zygote starts, all remaining arguments are passed to the zygote.
    // main function.
    //
    // Note that we must copy argument string values since we will rewrite the
    // entire argument block when we apply the nice name to argv0.
    //
    // As an exception to the above rule, anything in "spaced commands"
    // goes to the vm even though it has a space in it.

    bool known_command = false;

    int i;

        if (known_command == true) {
          runtime.addOption(strdup(argv[i]));
          // The static analyzer gets upset that we don't ever free the above
          // string. Since the allocation is from main, leaking it doesn't seem
          // problematic. NOLINTNEXTLINE
          ALOGV("app_process main add known option '%s'", argv[i]);

          continue;

            ALOGV("app_process main found known command '%s'", argv[i]);
          }

    }

    // Parse runtime arguments.  Stop at first unrecognized option.
    bool zygote = false;
    bool startSystemServer = false;
    bool application = false;
    String8 niceName;
    String8 className;

    ++i;  // Skip unused "parent dir" argument.
    while (i < argc) {
        const char* arg = argv[i++];
        if (strcmp(arg, "--zygote") == 0) {
            zygote = true;
            niceName = ZYGOTE_NICE_NAME;
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--start-system-server") == 0) {
            startSystemServer = true;
        } else if (strcmp(arg, "--application") == 0) {

        } else if (strncmp(arg, "--nice-name=", 12) == 0) {
            niceName.setTo(arg + 12);
        } else if (strncmp(arg, "--", 2) != 0) {
            className.setTo(arg);
            break;
        } else {

            break;
        }
    }

    Vector<String8> args;
    if (!className.isEmpty()) {
        // We're not in zygote mode, the only argument we need to pass
        // to RuntimeInit is the application argument.
        //
        // The Remainder of args get passed to startup class main(). Make
        // copies of them before we overwrite them with the process name.
        args.add(application ? String8("application") : String8("tool"));
        runtime.setClassNameAndArgs(className, argc - i, argv + i);

        if (!LOG_NDEBUG) {
          String8 restOfArgs;
          char* const* argv_new = argv + i;
          int argc_new = argc - i;
          for (int k = 0; k < argc_new; ++k) {
            restOfArgs.append("\"");
            restOfArgs.append(argv_new[k]);
            restOfArgs.append("\" ");
          }
          ALOGV("Class name = %s, args = %s", className.string(), restOfArgs.string());
        }
    } else {
        // We're in zygote mode.
        maybeCreateDalvikCache();

        if (startSystemServer) {
            args.add(String8("start-system-server"));
        }

        char prop[PROP_VALUE_MAX];
        if (property_get(ABI_LIST_PROPERTY, prop, NULL) == 0) {
            LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("app_process: Unable to determine ABI list from property %s.",
                ABI_LIST_PROPERTY);
            return 11;
        }

        String8 abiFlag("--abi-list=");
        abiFlag.append(prop);
        args.add(abiFlag);

        // In zygote mode, pass all remaining arguments to the zygote
        // main() method.
        for (; i < argc; ++i) {
            args.add(String8(argv[i]));
        }
    }

    if (!niceName.isEmpty()) {
        runtime.setArgv0(niceName.string(), true /* setProcName */);
    }

    if (zygote) {
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", args, zygote);
    } else if (className) {
        runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit", args, zygote);
    } else {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error: no class name or --zygote supplied.\n");
        app_usage();
        LOG_ALWAYS_FATAL("app_process: no class name or --zygote supplied.");
    }
}

最重要的是这两句

if (zygote) {
    runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit", args, zygote);
} else if (className) {
    runtime.start("com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit", args, zygote);
}
