Zygote家的大儿子 —— SystemServer

本文基于 Android 9.0 , 代码仓库地址 ： android_9.0.0_r45

文中源码链接：

SystemServer.java

SystemServiceManager.java

SystemService.java

首先来回顾一下上篇文章 Java 世界的盘古和女娲 —— Zygote ，主要介绍了 Android 世界中的第一个 Java 进程 Zygote，它的主要工作流程如下：

1. registerServerSocketFromEnv()， 注册服务端 socket，用于和客户端进程通信
2. preload()，预加载一系列资源，提高应用启动速度
3. forkSystemServer()，创建 system_server 进程
4. 功成身退，调用 runSelectLoop() 等待响应客户端请求，创建应用进程

本篇文章的主角 system_server 进程是 Zygote 进程 fork 出的第一个进程，它负责管理和启动整个 Framework 层。

再来看看 Gityuan 的这张图片，找一下 System Server 的位置，它承载了各类系统服务的创建和启动。关于 system_server 进程的创建流程，上篇文章中已经做了详细介绍，这里再简单看一下流程图：

最终会调用到 SystemServer.main() 方法。下面就以此为起点，来具体分析 SystemServer 都做了些什么。

SystemServer 启动流程

public static void main(String[] args) {
    new SystemServer().run();
}

接着看 run() 方法。

private void run() {
    try {
        ......
        // 如果设备时间早于 1970 年，很多 API 处理负数时会 crash。所以直接设置为 1970 年 1 月 1 日
        if (System.currentTimeMillis() < EARLIEST_SUPPORTED_TIME) {
            Slog.w(TAG, "System clock is before 1970; setting to 1970.");
            SystemClock.setCurrentTimeMillis(EARLIEST_SUPPORTED_TIME);
        }        // 未设置时区的话默认设为 GMT
        String timezoneProperty =  SystemProperties.get("persist.sys.timezone");
        if (timezoneProperty == null || timezoneProperty.isEmpty()) {
            Slog.w(TAG, "Timezone not set; setting to GMT.");
            SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.timezone", "GMT");
        }        // 语言地区设置
        if (!SystemProperties.get("persist.sys.language").isEmpty()) {
            final String languageTag = Locale.getDefault().toLanguageTag();            SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.locale", languageTag);
            SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.language", "");
            SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.country", "");
            SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.localevar", "");
        }        // The system server should never make non-oneway calls
        Binder.setWarnOnBlocking(true);
        // The system server should always load safe labels
        PackageItemInfo.setForceSafeLabels(true);        // Default to FULL within the system server.
        SQLiteGlobal.sDefaultSyncMode = SQLiteGlobal.SYNC_MODE_FULL;        // Deactivate SQLiteCompatibilityWalFlags until settings provider is initialized
        SQLiteCompatibilityWalFlags.init(null);        // Here we go!
        Slog.i(TAG, "Entered the Android system server!");
        int uptimeMillis = (int) SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
        EventLog.writeEvent(EventLogTags.BOOT_PROGRESS_SYSTEM_RUN, uptimeMillis);
        if (!mRuntimeRestart) {
            MetricsLogger.histogram(null, "boot_system_server_init", uptimeMillis);
        }        // 设置虚拟机运行库路径
        SystemProperties.set("persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib.2", VMRuntime.getRuntime().vmLibrary());        // Mmmmmm... more memory!
        // 清除虚拟机内存增长限制，允许应用申请更多内存
        VMRuntime.getRuntime().clearGrowthLimit();        // 设置堆内存的有效利用率为 0.8，(可能被忽略)
        VMRuntime.getRuntime().setTargetHeapUtilization(0.8f);        // 确保指纹信息已经定义
        Build.ensureFingerprintProperty();        // Within the system server, it is an error to access Environment paths without
        // explicitly specifying a user.
        Environment.setUserRequired(true);        // Within the system server, any incoming Bundles should be defused
        // to avoid throwing BadParcelableException.
        BaseBundle.setShouldDefuse(true);        // Within the system server, when parceling exceptions, include the stack trace
        Parcel.setStackTraceParceling(true);        // 确保系统的 Binder 调用总是运行在前台优先级
        BinderInternal.disableBackgroundScheduling(true);        // Increase the number of binder threads in system_server
        BinderInternal.setMaxThreads(sMaxBinderThreads);        // Prepare the main looper thread (this thread).
        android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(
            android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND);
            android.os.Process.setCanSelfBackground(false);
        // 1. 创建主线程 Looper
        Looper.prepareMainLooper();
        Looper.getMainLooper().setSlowLogThresholdMs(
                SLOW_DISPATCH_THRESHOLD_MS, SLOW_DELIVERY_THRESHOLD_MS);        // 初始化 native 服务，加载 libandroid_servers.so
        System.loadLibrary("android_servers");        // 检查上次关机是否失败，可能不会有返回值
        performPendingShutdown();        // 2. 初始化系统上下文
        createSystemContext();        // 3. 创建系统服务管理 SystemServiceManager
        // 并将 mSystemServiceManager 注册到 sLocalServiceObjects 中
        mSystemServiceManager = new SystemServiceManager(mSystemContext);
        mSystemServiceManager.setStartInfo(mRuntimeRestart,
                mRuntimeStartElapsedTime, mRuntimeStartUptime);
        LocalServices.addService(SystemServiceManager.class, mSystemServiceManager);
        // Prepare the thread pool for init tasks that can be parallelized
        SystemServerInitThreadPool.get();
    } finally {
        traceEnd();  // InitBeforeStartServices
    }    // Start services.
    try {
        traceBeginAndSlog("StartServices");
        startBootstrapServices(); // 4. 启动系统引导服务
        startCoreServices();      // 5. 启动系统核心服务
        startOtherServices();     // 6. 启动其他服务
        SystemServerInitThreadPool.shutdown();
    } catch (Throwable ex) {
        Slog.e("System", "******************************************");
        Slog.e("System", "************ Failure starting system services", ex);
        throw ex;
    } finally {
        traceEnd();
    }    StrictMode.initVmDefaults(null);    if (!mRuntimeRestart && !isFirstBootOrUpgrade()) {
        int uptimeMillis = (int) SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
        MetricsLogger.histogram(null, "boot_system_server_ready", uptimeMillis);
        final int MAX_UPTIME_MILLIS = 60 * 1000;
        if (uptimeMillis > MAX_UPTIME_MILLIS) {
            Slog.wtf(SYSTEM_SERVER_TIMING_TAG,
                    "SystemServer init took too long. uptimeMillis=" + uptimeMillis);
        }
    }    // 7. Loop forever.
    Looper.loop();
    throw new RuntimeException("Main thread loop unexpectedly exited");
}

代码虽然比较长，但是逻辑很清晰。我在注释里标记了比较重要的 7 个步骤，逐一分析。

Looper.prepareMainLooper()

初始化 Looper。关于 Handler 消息机制，可以阅读我的另一篇文章 深入理解 Handler 消息机制 。最后会调用 Looper.loop() 开启消息循环，开始处理消息。

createSystemContext()

private void createSystemContext() {
    // 创建 system_server 上下文信息
    ActivityThread activityThread = ActivityThread.systemMain();
    mSystemContext = activityThread.getSystemContext();
    mSystemContext.setTheme(DEFAULT_SYSTEM_THEME);    final Context systemUiContext = activityThread.getSystemUiContext();
    // 设置主题，用于系统 dialog 等
    systemUiContext.setTheme(DEFAULT_SYSTEM_THEME);
}

创建系统上下文。首先调用 ActivityThread.systemMain() 方法获取 ActivityThread 对象，然后再获取上下文。

public static ActivityThread systemMain() {
    // 判断是否是大内存设备,在低内存设备上不启用硬件加速
    if (!ActivityManager.isHighEndGfx()) {
        ThreadedRenderer.disable(true);
    } else {
        ThreadedRenderer.enableForegroundTrimming();
    }
    ActivityThread thread = new ActivityThread();
    thread.attach(true, 0);
    return thread;
}

关于 ActivityThread.attach() 方法这里不做具体分析了，后面文章说到应用启动时再来详细解析。

创建完系统上下文，接下来就是启动各种系统服务了。源码中把服务大致分为了三类，再来回顾一下：

startBootstrapServices(); // 4. 启动系统引导服务
startCoreServices();      // 5. 启动系统核心服务
startOtherServices();     // 6. 启动其他服务

逐一进行分析。

startBootstrapServices()

private void startBootstrapServices() {
    final String TAG_SYSTEM_CONFIG = "ReadingSystemConfig";
    SystemServerInitThreadPool.get().submit(SystemConfig::getInstance, TAG_SYSTEM_CONFIG);    // 阻塞等待与 installd 建立 socket 通道
    Installer installer = mSystemServiceManager.startService(Installer.class);    // 启动 DeviceIdentifiersPolicyService，在 ActivityManagerService 之前
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(DeviceIdentifiersPolicyService.class);    // 启动服务 ActivityManagerService
    mActivityManagerService = mSystemServiceManager.startService(
            ActivityManagerService.Lifecycle.class).getService();
    mActivityManagerService.setSystemServiceManager(mSystemServiceManager);
    mActivityManagerService.setInstaller(installer);    // 启动服务 PowerManagerService
    mPowerManagerService = mSystemServiceManager.startService(PowerManagerService.class);    // Now that the power manager has been started, let the activity manager
    // initialize power management features.
    mActivityManagerService.initPowerManagement();    // 启动服务 RecoverySystemService
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(RecoverySystemService.class);    // Now that we have the bare essentials of the OS up and running, take
    // note that we just booted, which might send out a rescue party if
    // we're stuck in a runtime restart loop.
    RescueParty.noteBoot(mSystemContext);    // 启动服务 LightsService
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(LightsService.class);    // Package manager isn't started yet; need to use SysProp not hardware feature
    if (SystemProperties.getBoolean("config.enable_sidekick_graphics", false)) {
        mSystemServiceManager.startService(WEAR_SIDEKICK_SERVICE_CLASS);
    }    // 启动 DisplayManagerService，在 PackageManagerService 之前
    mDisplayManagerService = mSystemServiceManager.startService(DisplayManagerService.class);    // We need the default display before we can initialize the package manager.
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_WAIT_FOR_DEFAULT_DISPLAY);    // 正在加密设备时只运行核心 app
    String cryptState = SystemProperties.get("vold.decrypt");
    if (ENCRYPTING_STATE.equals(cryptState)) {
        Slog.w(TAG, "Detected encryption in progress - only parsing core apps");
        mOnlyCore = true;
    } else if (ENCRYPTED_STATE.equals(cryptState)) {
        Slog.w(TAG, "Device encrypted - only parsing core apps");
        mOnlyCore = true;
    }    // 启动服务 PackageManagerService
    if (!mRuntimeRestart) {
        MetricsLogger.histogram(null, "boot_package_manager_init_start",
                (int) SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
    }
    mPackageManagerService = PackageManagerService.main(mSystemContext, installer,
            mFactoryTestMode != FactoryTest.FACTORY_TEST_OFF, mOnlyCore);
    mFirstBoot = mPackageManagerService.isFirstBoot();
    mPackageManager = mSystemContext.getPackageManager();
    if (!mRuntimeRestart && !isFirstBootOrUpgrade()) {
        MetricsLogger.histogram(null, "boot_package_manager_init_ready",
                (int) SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
    }
    if (!mOnlyCore) {
        boolean disableOtaDexopt = SystemProperties.getBoolean("config.disable_otadexopt",
                false);
        if (!disableOtaDexopt) {
            traceBeginAndSlog("StartOtaDexOptService");
            try {
                OtaDexoptService.main(mSystemContext, mPackageManagerService);
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                reportWtf("starting OtaDexOptService", e);
            } finally {
                traceEnd();
            }
        }
    }    // 启动服务 UserManagerService
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(UserManagerService.LifeCycle.class);    // 初始化属性 cache 以缓存包资源
    AttributeCache.init(mSystemContext);    // 设置 AMS
    mActivityManagerService.setSystemProcess();    // DisplayManagerService needs to setup android.display scheduling related policies
    // since setSystemProcess() would have overridden policies due to setProcessGroup
    mDisplayManagerService.setupSchedulerPolicies();    // 启动服务 OverlayManagerService
    OverlayManagerService overlayManagerService = new OverlayManagerService(
            mSystemContext, installer);
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(overlayManagerService);    if (SystemProperties.getInt("persist.sys.displayinset.top", 0) > 0) {
        // DisplayManager needs the overlay immediately.
        overlayManagerService.updateSystemUiContext();
        LocalServices.getService(DisplayManagerInternal.class).onOverlayChanged();
    }    // 在单独的线程中启动 SensorService
    mSensorServiceStart = SystemServerInitThreadPool.get().submit(() -> {
        TimingsTraceLog traceLog = new TimingsTraceLog(
                SYSTEM_SERVER_TIMING_ASYNC_TAG, Trace.TRACE_TAG_SYSTEM_SERVER);
        startSensorService();
    }, START_SENSOR_SERVICE);
}

startBootstrapServices() 方法中的都是系统启动过程中的关键服务，且相互依赖，主要下列服务 ：

Installer DeviceIdentifiersPolicyService ActivityManagerService PowerManagerService RecoverySystemService LightsService StartSidekickService DisplayManagerService

SystemService.PHASE_WAIT_FOR_DEFAULT_DISPLAY (100)

PackageManagerService UserManagerService OverlayManagerService SensorService

一共启动了十二个核心服务。注意中间的 SystemService.PHASE_WAIT_FOR_DEFAULT_DISPLAY，它并不是代表什么系统服务，而是一个 int 值 100,类似的 int 值还有一些，定义在 SystemService 类中，它的作用是给服务启动过程划分阶段，每个阶段都有特定的含义，可以做不同的事情。这里先混个脸熟，等介绍完所有的服务，再回过头来总结一下有哪些阶段。

startCoreServices()

private void startCoreServices() {
    // 启动服务 BatteryService，需要 LightService
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(BatteryService.class);    // 启动服务 UsageStatsService，统计应用使用情况
    mSystemServiceManager.startService(UsageStatsService.class);
    mActivityManagerService.setUsageStatsManager(
            LocalServices.getService(UsageStatsManagerInternal.class));    // 检查是否存在可更新的 WebView。存在就启动服务 WebViewUpdateService
    if (mPackageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_WEBVIEW)) {
        mWebViewUpdateService = mSystemServiceManager.startService(WebViewUpdateService.class);
    }    // 启动服务 BinderCallsStatsService，跟踪 Binder 调用的 cpu 时间消耗
    BinderCallsStatsService.start();
}

启动了四个服务，BatteryService UsageStatsService WebViewUpdateService 和 BinderCallsStatsService 。

startOtherServices()

startOtherServices() 源码有一千多行，就像一个杂货铺，启动了一系列的服务。下面尽量精简一下代码：

KeyAttestationApplicationIdProviderService/KeyChainSystemService

vibrator.systemReady();
lockSettings.systemReady();// 480
mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_LOCK_SETTINGS_READY);
// 500
mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_SYSTEM_SERVICES_READY); wm.systemReady();
mPowerManagerService.systemReady(mActivityManagerService.getAppOpsService());
mPackageManagerService.systemReady();
mDisplayManagerService.systemReady(safeMode, mOnlyCore);// Start device specific services
final String[] classes = mSystemContext.getResources().getStringArray(
        R.array.config_deviceSpecificSystemServices);
for (final String className : classes) {
    try {
        mSystemServiceManager.startService(className);
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        reportWtf("starting " + className, e);
    }
}// 520
mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_DEVICE_SPECIFIC_SERVICES_READY);mActivityManagerService.systemReady(() -> {
    // 550
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_ACTIVITY_MANAGER_READY);    startSystemUi(context, windowManagerF);    networkManagementF.systemReady();
    ipSecServiceF.systemReady();
    networkStatsF.systemReady();
    connectivityF.systemReady();    Watchdog.getInstance().start
    mPackageManagerService.waitForAppDataPrepared();    // 600
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_THIRD_PARTY_APPS_CAN_START);    locationF.systemRunning();
    countryDetectorF.systemRunning();
    networkTimeUpdaterF.systemRunning();
    commonTimeMgmtServiceF.systemRunning();
    inputManagerF.systemRunning();
    telephonyRegistryF.systemRunning();
    mediaRouterF.systemRunning();
    mmsServiceF.systemRunning();
    incident.systemRunning();
}

通过上面的代码可以看到启动了相当多的系统服务。startOtherServices() 方法共经历了五个启动阶段，如下所示：

SystemService.PHASE_LOCK_SETTINGS_READY             // 480
SystemService.PHASE_SYSTEM_SERVICES_READY           // 500
SystemService.PHASE_DEVICE_SPECIFIC_SERVICES_READY  // 520
SystemService.PHASE_ACTIVITY_MANAGER_READY          // 550
SystemService.PHASE_THIRD_PARTY_APPS_CAN_START      // 600

最后调用的 mActivityManagerService.systemReady() 方法。该方法中会调用 startHomeActivityLocked 来启动桌面 Activity，这样桌面应用就启动了。

Looper.loop()

至此，system_server 进程的主要工作就算完成了，进入 Looper.loop() 状态,等待其他线程通过 Handler 发送消息到主线程并处理。

SystemServer 启动阶段分类

回过头再来看看前面提到的启动阶段分类，定义在 com.android.server.SystemService 类中：

/*
 * Boot Phases
 *
 * 启动阶段
 */
public static final int PHASE_WAIT_FOR_DEFAULT_DISPLAY = 100; // maybe should be a dependency?/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can obtain lock settings data.
 */
public static final int PHASE_LOCK_SETTINGS_READY = 480;/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can safely call into core system services
 * such as the PowerManager or PackageManager.
 *
 * 在这个阶段之后，可以安全的调用系统核心服务，如 PowerManager 和 PackageManager
 */
public static final int PHASE_SYSTEM_SERVICES_READY = 500;/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can safely call into device specific services.
 *
 * 在这个阶段之后，可以安全调用设备特定的服务
 */
public static final int PHASE_DEVICE_SPECIFIC_SERVICES_READY = 520;/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can broadcast Intents.
 *
 * 在这个阶段之后，服务可以广播
 */
public static final int PHASE_ACTIVITY_MANAGER_READY = 550;/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can start/bind to third party apps.
 * Apps will be able to make Binder calls into services at this point.
 *
 * 在这个阶段之后，服务可以启动/绑定第三方应用
 * 应用此时可以进行 Binder 调用
 */
public static final int PHASE_THIRD_PARTY_APPS_CAN_START = 600;/**
 * After receiving this boot phase, services can allow user interaction with the device.
 * This phase occurs when boot has completed and the home application has started.
 * System services may prefer to listen to this phase rather than registering a
 * broadcast receiver for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED to reduce overall latency.
 *
 * 在这个阶段之后，允许用户和设备交互。
 * 这个阶段发生在启动完成，home 应用已经开始。
 * 系统服务更倾向于监听这个阶段，而不是监听启动广播 ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED，以降低延迟
 */
public static final int PHASE_BOOT_COMPLETED = 1000;

在 system_server 启动过程中各个阶段的位置大致如下：

private void startBootstrapServices() {
    ...
    // 100
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_WAIT_FOR_DEFAULT_DISPLAY);
    ...
}private void startOtherServices() {
    ...
    // 480
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_LOCK_SETTINGS_READY);
    // 500
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_SYSTEM_SERVICES_READY);    ...
    // 520
    mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(SystemService.PHASE_DEVICE_SPECIFIC_SERVICES_READY);    mActivityManagerService.systemReady(() -> {
        mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(
                    SystemService.PHASE_ACTIVITY_MANAGER_READY); // 550        ...
        mSystemServiceManager.startBootPhase(
                    SystemService.PHASE_THIRD_PARTY_APPS_CAN_START); // 600
    }
}

最后的 SystemService.PHASE_BOOT_COMPLETED（1000） 在 AMS 的 finishBooting() 方法中调用。另外注意 480 和 500 两个阶段是连在一起的，中间没有发生任何事情。

那么，划分阶段的具体作用是什么呢？答案就在 startBootPhase() 方法中：

public void startBootPhase(final int phase) {
    if (phase <= mCurrentPhase) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Next phase must be larger than previous");
    }
    mCurrentPhase = phase;    try {
        final int serviceLen = mServices.size();
        for (int i = 0; i < serviceLen; i++) {
            final SystemService service = mServices.get(i);
            long time = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
            try {
                // 回调系统服务的 onBootPhase() 方法
                service.onBootPhase(mCurrentPhase);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Failed to boot service "
                        + service.getClass().getName()
                        + ": onBootPhase threw an exception during phase "
                        + mCurrentPhase, ex);
            }
            warnIfTooLong(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - time, service, "onBootPhase");
        }
    } finally {
        Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_SYSTEM_SERVER);
    }
}

核心就在于 service.onBootPhase(mCurrentPhase);。所有系统服务都是继承于 SystemService 的，startBootPhase() 方法会回调当前阶段已经加入 mServices 的所有系统服务的 onBootPhase() 方法，在合适的阶段做一些合适的事情。以 AMS 为例：

@Override
public void onBootPhase(int phase) {
    mService.mBootPhase = phase;
    if (phase == PHASE_SYSTEM_SERVICES_READY) {
        mService.mBatteryStatsService.systemServicesReady();
        mService.mServices.systemServicesReady();
    }
}

SystemServer 是如何启动服务的 ？

看完 SystemServer 的源码，它最重要的工作就是创建和启动各种系统服务。那么服务一般是如何创建的呢？下面以 startBootstrapServices() 中创建的第一个服务 Installer 为例来看一下：

Installer installer = mSystemServiceManager.startService(Installer.class);

进入 SystemServiceManager 的 startService() 方法：

public <T extends SystemService> T startService(Class<T> serviceClass) {
    try {
        // 获取服务名称
        final String name = serviceClass.getName();        // Create the service.
        if (!SystemService.class.isAssignableFrom(serviceClass)) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create " + name
                    + ": service must extend " + SystemService.class.getName());
        }
        final T service;
        try {
            // 获取服务类的构造器
            Constructor<T> constructor = serviceClass.getConstructor(Context.class);
            // 反射创建 service
            service = constructor.newInstance(mContext);
        } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create service " + name
                    + ": service could not be instantiated", ex);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create service " + name
                    + ": service must have a public constructor with a Context argument", ex);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create service " + name
                    + ": service must have a public constructor with a Context argument", ex);
        } catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create service " + name
                    + ": service constructor threw an exception", ex);
        }        startService(service);
        return service;
    } finally {
        Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_SYSTEM_SERVER);
    }
}

创建并启动一个系统服务。这个系统服务必须是 com.android.server.SystemService 的子类。根据参数传入的 Class 对象反射创建其实例，再调用重载方法 startService() ：

public void startService(@NonNull final SystemService service) {
    // Register it.
    mServices.add(service);
    // Start it.
    long time = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
    try {
        // 回调系统服务的 onStart() 方法
        service.onStart();
    } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Failed to start service " + service.getClass().getName()
            + ": onStart threw an exception", ex);
    }
    warnIfTooLong(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - time, service, "onStart");
}

就两步。第一步，注册服务，mServices 是一个 ArrayList<SystemService> 对象，用来保存已经创建的系统服务。第二步，回调服务的 onStart() 方法，还是以 Installer 为例：

@Override
public void onStart() {
    if (mIsolated) {
        mInstalld = null;
    } else {
        connect();
    }
}

这样一个服务就启动完成了。这是一种比较普遍的启动方式，当然还有一些系统服务具有不一样的启动方式，这里就不一一分析了，后面有机会解析具体服务的时候再来分析。

总结

SystemServer 的启动流程比较耿直，没有那么多弯弯绕，下面简单总结一下：

1. 语言、时区、地区等设置
2. 虚拟机内存设置
3. 指纹信息，Binder 调用设置
4. Looper.prepareMainLooper() ，创建主线程 Looper
5. 初始化 native 服务，加载 libandroid_servers.so
6. createSystemContext()，初始化系统上下文
7. 创建系统服务管理 SystemServiceManager
8. startBootstrapServices，启动系统引导服务
9. startCoreServices，启动系统核心服务
10. startOtherServices，启动其他服务
11. Looper.loop()，开启消息循环

另外，在 startOtherServices 的最后会调用 AMS 的 onSystemReady() 方法启动桌面 Activity。

预告

还记得 Zygote 进程的 runSelectLoop() 方法吗？Zygote 在创建完 system_server 进程之后，就开始默默的等待客户端请求创建应用进程。下一篇，我们将从源码角度来捋一遍客户端是如何发送请求，Zygote 是如何处理请求，应用进程是如何创建的，敬请期待！
