Android6的Logger日志系统

版权声明：本文为博主原创文章，未经博主允许不得转载。

Android2.x中Logger日志系统采用了字符设备驱动来支持，到了Android6.0已经找不到kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android/logger.c这一层的驱动程序了。不过上层接口还是没变的，所以顺着最顶层接口，可以一路找到6.0下Logger的实现机制。

从最上层frameworks/base/core/java/android/util/Log.java找到：

public final class Log {
……
    public static int d(String tag, String msg) {
        return println_native(LOG_ID_MAIN, DEBUG, tag, msg);
    }
……
}

再从frameworks/base/core/jni/android_utilLog.cpp中找到：

static jint android_util_Log_println_native(JNIEnv* env, jobject clazz,
        jint bufID, jint priority, jstring tagObj, jstring msgObj)
{
    const char* tag = NULL;
    const char* msg = NULL;

    if (msgObj == NULL) {
        jniThrowNullPointerException(env, "println needs a message");
        return -;
    }

    if (bufID <  || bufID >= LOG_ID_MAX) {
        jniThrowNullPointerException(env, "bad bufID");
        return -;
    }

    if (tagObj != NULL)
        tag = env->GetStringUTFChars(tagObj, NULL);
    msg = env->GetStringUTFChars(msgObj, NULL);

    int res = __android_log_buf_write(bufID, (android_LogPriority)priority, tag, msg);

    if (tag != NULL)
        env->ReleaseStringUTFChars(tagObj, tag);
    env->ReleaseStringUTFChars(msgObj, msg);

    return res;
}

接下来就要去Runtime层找__android_log_buf_write了：system/core/liblog/logd_write.c：

int __android_log_buf_write(int bufID, int prio, const char *tag, const char *msg)
{
    struct iovec vec[];

   ……   // 将日志优先级、tag、内容赋给vec的三段

    return write_to_log(bufID, vec, );
}

在文件system/core/liblog/logd_write.c的头部可以看到write_to_log是个函数指针，初始值指向__write_to_log_init：

static int (*write_to_log)(log_id_t, struct iovec *vec, size_t nr) = __write_to_log_init;
……
static int __write_to_log_init(log_id_t log_id, struct iovec *vec, size_t nr)
{
    ……
    if (write_to_log == __write_to_log_init) {
        int ret;

        ret = __write_to_log_initialize();
    ……
        write_to_log = __write_to_log_daemon;
    }
    ……
    return write_to_log(log_id, vec, nr);
}

屏蔽掉不关键的信息，__write_to_log_init首次被执行时调用__write_to_log_initialize，之后把write_to_log指针指向了__write_to_log_daemon，之后再执行write_to_log。以后__android_log_buf_write也将通过write_to_log调用__write_to_log_daemon。

再来看__write_to_log_initialize：

static int __write_to_log_initialize()
{
    int i, ret = ;

#if FAKE_LOG_DEVICE
    for (i = ; i < LOG_ID_MAX; i++) {
        char buf[sizeof("/dev/log_system")];
        snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/dev/log_%s", android_log_id_to_name(i));
        log_fds[i] = fakeLogOpen(buf, O_WRONLY);
    }
#else
    if (pstore_fd < ) {
        pstore_fd = TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(open("/dev/pmsg0", O_WRONLY));
    }

    if (logd_fd < ) {
        i = TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM | SOCK_CLOEXEC, ));
        if (i < ) {
            ret = -errno;
        } else if (TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(fcntl(i, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK)) < ) {
            ret = -errno;
            close(i);
        } else {
            struct sockaddr_un un;
            memset(&un, , sizeof(struct sockaddr_un));
            un.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
            strcpy(un.sun_path, "/dev/socket/logdw");

            if (TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(connect(i, (struct sockaddr *)&un,
                                           sizeof(struct sockaddr_un))) < ) {
                ret = -errno;
                close(i);
            } else {
                logd_fd = i;
            }
        }
    }
#endif

    return ret;
}

用gdb把断点设在函数首行发现直接进入了#else的部分，说明FAKE_LOG_DEVICE或者没定义，或者定义为0，以后都可以忽略。接下来创建scoket并连接/dev/socket/logdw，并将套接字赋给logd_fd。以后的日志都写到了logd_fd中。

所以研究Android6.0的日志系统在内核层应该去找/dev/socket/logdw的驱动。

写了个简单的程序从Runtime层由上往下跟进：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <android/log.h>

#define LOGD(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG, "keymatch", __VA_ARGS___)

int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
    __android_log_write(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, "LOG", "ABCDEF");
    printf("");
    return ;
}

Android.mk文件需要注意，加上链接libs：

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog
LOCAL_MODULE := testlog
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-subdir-c-files)
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

__android_log_write这个函数定义在logd_write.c中:

int __android_log_write(int prio, const char *tag, const char *msg)
{
    return __android_log_buf_write(LOG_ID_MAIN, prio, tag, msg);
}

当我用gdb step in 到__android_log_buf_write时，却怎么也进不去：

(gdb) b main

    {

        __android_log_write(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, "LOG", "ABCDEF");
(gdb) s

(gdb) s
        return __android_log_buf_write(LOG_ID_MAIN, prio, tag, msg);

(gdb)
    }
(gdb)

无论使用s或者si都不行，我判断应该是因为__android_log_buf_write被调用的次数不多，因此被编译器内联了。不过没关系，这只是个过路函数，它内部调用了write_to_log，这是个函数指针，凡是被函数指针指过的函数，应该都不会被内联。因为被内联的函数相当于代码展开，函数不存在了，也就无法被函数指针指向。因此，可以把断点端到write_to_log所指向的__write_to_log_initialize和__write_to_log_daemon。
