Android Dalvik虚拟机 启动和初始化

Posted 2023-02-20 baiiu

前言

最近因工作需要，阅读了一些Dalvik虚拟机代码，整理输出一波。本文整理Dalvik虚拟机在启动流程和初始化流程，为下篇分析Dalvik的内存分配流程和gc流程打一个基础。
本系列代码均基于4.4.2分析。

Dalvik虚拟机启动流程

android

Rumtime.cpp Jni.cpp init.cpp JNI_CreateJavaVM dvmCreateJNIEnv dvmStartup dvmGcStartup、dvmThreadStartup... initZygote Android Rumtime.cpp Jni.cpp init.cpp

AndroidRuntime.cpp

/*
 * Start the Dalvik Virtual Machine.
 *
 * Various arguments, most determined by system properties, are passed in.
 * The "mOptions" vector is updated.
 *
 * Returns 0 on success.
 */
int AndroidRuntime::startVm(JavaVM** pJavaVM, JNIEnv** pEnv) 
	// 拼接一大堆虚拟机初始化参数
	// adb shell getprop | grep dalvik 通过该命令可以查看一些
	/*
     * Initialize the VM.
     *
     * The JavaVM* is essentially per-process, and the JNIEnv* is per-thread.
     * If this call succeeds, the VM is ready, and we can start issuing
     * JNI calls.
     */
    if (JNI_CreateJavaVM(pJavaVM, pEnv, &initArgs) < 0) 
        ALOGE("JNI_CreateJavaVM failed\\n");
        goto bail;
    
    result = 0;
bail:
    free(stackTraceFile);
    return result;

Jni.cpp

/*
 * Create a new VM instance.
 *
 * The current thread becomes the main VM thread.  We return immediately,
 * which effectively means the caller is executing in a native method.
 */
jint JNI_CreateJavaVM(JavaVM** p_vm, JNIEnv** p_env, void* vm_args) 
	// 初始化gDvm全局变量
	memset(&gDvm, 0, sizeof(gDvm));
	// 初始化JavaVmExt
	JavaVMExt* pVM = (JavaVMExt*) calloc(1, sizeof(JavaVMExt));
    pVM->funcTable = &gInvokeInterface; // jni表
	// Create a JNIEnv for the main thread.  
	JNIEnvExt* pEnv = (JNIEnvExt*) dvmCreateJNIEnv(NULL);
	// 启动虚拟机
	dvmStartup(argc, argv.get(), args->ignoreUnrecognized, (JNIEnv*)pEnv);
	return JNI_OK;

init.cpp

在init.cpp中做Dalvik虚拟机初始化操作。

/*
 * VM initialization.  Pass in any options provided on the command line.
 * Do not pass in the class name or the options for the class.
 *
 * Returns 0 on success.
 */
std::string dvmStartup(int argc, const char* const argv[], bool ignoreUnrecognized, JNIEnv* pEnv) 
	/*
     * Initialize components.
     */
     // 初始化Davlik的内存分配记录模块AllocTracker。
     dvmAllocTrackerStartup();
     // 初始化Dalvik的垃圾回收模块。内部包含堆初始化
     dvmGcStartup();
     // 初始化Davlik的线程管理模块。Dalvik线程就是Linux的线程，线程管理模块只是用Thread类来记录Dalvik与线程相关的数据。所有Thread类会形成一个链表。这里除了初始化链表外，还会为主线程创建一个Thread类，并把它加入到链表中。
     dvmThreadStartup();
     // 初始化Davlik的内部native函数模块
     dvmInlineNativeStartup();
     // 初始化Dalvik的寄存器映射模块Register Map
     dvmRegisterMapStartup();
     // 初始化Dalvik的instanceof操作符缓存模块
     dvmInstanceofStartup();
     // 初始化Dalvik的类装载模块，类装载模块主要负责装载和查找Java类
     dvmClassStartup();
     // 初始化gDvm中定义的所有Java关键字的类
	 dvmFindRequiredClassesAndMembers()
	 // 初始化Dalvik的常量字符串模块。Dalvik在装载类时，会把类中定义的各种字符串都放入gDvm的两个hash表internedStrings和literalStrings中。Dalvik内部创建相同字符串的对象时只会产生引用而不再创建对象了，这样就能节约重复字符串占用的内存。
	 dvmStringInternStartup();
	 // 初始化Dalvik的native函数管理模块
	 dvmNativeStartup();
	 // 初始化Dalvik内部类的native函数模块。这个模块定义了所有Dalvik的内部类的native函数表。如DexFile、VMRuntime、DexFile等
	 dvmInternalNativeStartup();
	 // 初始化Dalvik的JNI模块。主要是创建了全局引用表和全局弱引用表
	 dvmJniStartup();
	 // 这个函数的作用是初始化类java.lang.Class
	 dvmInitClass();
	 // 注册com.android.dex.Dex的native方法getDex()。同时装载JNI库libjavacore.so以及libnativehelper.so
	 registerSystemNatives();
	 // 。创建一些异常对象，包括OutOfMemoryError、InternalError和NoClassDefFoundError，保存在gDvm中
	 dvmCreateStockExceptions();
	 // 执行java.lang.Daemons的start()方法来启动和初始化垃圾回收线程
	 dvmGcStartupClasses();
    
    // 虚拟机OK了，zygote再继续启动
    initZygote();

重要变量gDvm

在dalvik/vm/Globals.h头文件中定义，里面参数太多了，列出了如下一般开发涉及的重要变量。
这种变量是全局变量，可以通过dlsys获取到，再获取其内部的参数，在hook时经常用到。

/* global state */
struct DvmGlobals gDvm;

/*
 * All fields are initialized to zero.
 *
 * Storage allocated here must be freed by a subsystem shutdown function.
 */
struct DvmGlobals 
	// 几个最基本的jar包的路径。包括core.jar、ext.jar、framework,jar、services.jar和android.policy.jar
    char*       bootClassPathStr;
    // 存放系统jar包的路径。通常为/system/framework
    char*       classPathStr;
	
	// 堆初始化参数，下篇再讲
    size_t      heapStartingSize;
    size_t      heapMaximumSize;
    size_t      heapGrowthLimit;
    bool        lowMemoryMode;
    double      heapTargetUtilization;
    size_t      heapMinFree;
    size_t      heapMaxFree;
    size_t      stackSize;
    size_t      mainThreadStackSize;
	
	/*
     * Loaded classes, hashed by class name.  Each entry is a ClassObject*,
     * allocated in GC space.
     */
	HashTable*  loadedClasses;
	/* Hash table of strings interned by the user. */
    HashTable*  internedStrings;
    /* Hash table of strings interned by the class loader. */
    HashTable*  literalStrings;
    /*
     * Thread list.  This always has at least one element in it (main),
     * and main is always the first entry.
     */
	Thread*     threadList;
    /*
     * JNI global reference table.
     */
    IndirectRefTable jniGlobalRefTable;
    IndirectRefTable jniWeakGlobalRefTable;
    pthread_mutex_t jniGlobalRefLock;
    pthread_mutex_t jniWeakGlobalRefLock;
    /*
     * Native shared library table.
     */
    HashTable*  nativeLibs;

    /*
     * GC heap lock.  Functions like gcMalloc() acquire this before making
     * any changes to the heap.  It is held throughout garbage collection.
     */
    pthread_mutex_t gcHeapLock;
    /*
     * Condition variable to queue threads waiting to retry an
     * allocation.  Signaled after a concurrent GC is completed.
     */
    pthread_cond_t gcHeapCond;
    /* Opaque pointer representing the heap. */
    GcHeap*     gcHeap;

    /* Monitor list, so we can free them */
    /*volatile*/ Monitor* monitorList;
