在Android L之前的日志系统是Kernel层实现了若干个环形Buffer实现的。系统各个日志读写操作都是针对这几个RingBuffer来实现的。那就来一窥Kernel是怎么做的。相关源码是位于driver/staging/android/下面的logger.c和logger.h两个文件
1,在整个Android日志系统的位置
2,在logger.c中,入口函数
static int __init logger_init(void)
{
...
ret = create_log(LOGGER_LOG_MAIN, 256*1024);
ret = create_log(LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS, 256*1024);
ret = create_log(LOGGER_LOG_RADIO, 256*1024);
ret = create_log(LOGGER_LOG_SYSTEM, 256*1024);
...
}
分别来看create_log的实现和LOGGER_LOG_*的相关定义
static int __init create_log(char *log_name, int size)
{
...
log->buffer = buffer;
/* finally, initialize the misc device for this log */
ret = misc_register(&log->misc);
...
}
#define LOGGER_LOG_RADIO "log_radio" /* radio-related messages */
#define LOGGER_LOG_EVENTS "log_events" /* system/hardware events */
#define LOGGER_LOG_SYSTEM "log_system" /* system/framework messages */
#define LOGGER_LOG_MAIN "log_main" /* everything else */
...
从上可以知道,create_log函数就是把创建4个misc设备,并注册上。在创建的过程中会初始化各个设备的logger_log结构体。也就是说有4个logger_log结构体的实例。这4个MISC设备(即对应4种Logger)的Buffer大小为256Kb,即RING BUFFER的大小为256Kb。
再来看这个十分重要的结构体logger_log的其它成员
/**
* struct logger_log - represents a specific log, such as 'main' or 'radio'
* @buffer: The actual ring buffer
* @misc: The "misc" device representing the log
* @wq: The wait queue for @readers
* @readers: This log's readers
* @mutex: The mutex that protects the @buffer
* @w_off: The current write head offset
* @head: The head, or location that readers start reading at.
* @size: The size of the log
* @logs: The list of log channels
*
* This structure lives from module insertion until module removal, so it does
* not need additional reference counting. The structure is protected by the
* mutex 'mutex'.
*/
struct logger_log {
unsigned char *buffer;
struct miscdevice misc;
wait_queue_head_t wq;
struct list_head readers;
struct mutex mutex;
size_t w_off;
size_t head;
size_t size;
struct list_head logs;
};
不复杂,注释的解析也十分清楚。
用户层对于这4个MISC设备的操作,是通过/dev/log/*下面的几个设备实现的,它同样也有file_operations结构体中的读写函数指针,如下:
static const struct file_operations logger_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.read = logger_read,
.aio_write = logger_aio_write,
.poll = logger_poll,
.unlocked_ioctl = logger_ioctl,
.compat_ioctl = logger_ioctl,
.open = logger_open,
.release = logger_release,
};
3,MISC设备节点是怎么生成?
在运行的系统的/dev/log目录下有如下节点,
root@U:/dev/log # ls
events
main
radio
system
这是因为在上面提到的misc_register(&log->misc)函数,在前面的Kernel设备驱动相关文章可以知道,最终是调用device_create() -> device_add()->kobject_uevent(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_ADD);就会发送一个KOBJ_ADD的UEVENT给到上层,由《Android的根文件系统》可以知道,这是由init进程来处理的。在init项目中devices.cpp会来处理这个ADD事件
...
} else if(!strncmp(uevent->subsystem, "misc", 4) &&
!strncmp(name, "log_", 4)) {
INFO("kernel logger is deprecated\n");
base = "/dev/log/";
make_dir(base, 0755);
name += 4;
...
如果设备的名字前缀是log_的话,就会创建/dev/log/目录。所以就出现dev/log/下面的4个文件。
4,写操作分析
写操作是写一条消息,封装在logger_entry为头的消息。一次写操作大概构成如下:
struct logger_entry | priority | tag | msg
比如logcat打印出来如下:
12-06 16:12:23.849 3700 3788 | D | WifiStateMachine | : handleMessage: X
logger_aio_write()函数如下:
static ssize_t logger_aio_write(struct kiocb *iocb, const struct iovec *iov,
unsigned long nr_segs, loff_t ppos)
{
- //1,填充header头的结构体
- header.pid = current->tgid;
header.tid = current->pid;
header.sec = now.tv_sec;
header.nsec = now.tv_nsec;
header.euid = current_euid();
header.len = min_t(size_t, iocb->ki_nbytes, LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD);
header.hdr_size = sizeof(struct logger_entry);
/* null writes succeed, return zero */
if (unlikely(!header.len))
return 0;
- //如果写的一条信息,会覆盖正在进程读的信息,那么就丢弃这条读,把读的偏移指到下一条安全的信息。
fix_up_readers(log, sizeof(struct logger_entry) + header.len);
- //2,把header信息定写入
do_write_log(log, &header, sizeof(struct logger_entry));
- //3,把用户传过来的Message信息写入
while (nr_segs-- > 0) {
size_t len;
ssize_t nr;
/* figure out how much of this vector we can keep */
//这里计算剩余的信息是否超过了
MAX_PAYLOAD的长度,即4K,超过部分将会丢弃。
- //一条信息基本上也不会超过4K,基本是取实际信息长度
len = min_t(size_t, iov->iov_len, header.len - ret);
/* write out this segment's payload */
nr = do_write_log_from_user(log, iov->iov_base, len);
if (unlikely(nr < 0)) {
log->w_off = orig;
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
return nr;
}
iov++;
ret += nr;
}
- //4,唤醒读的队列
- /* wake up any blocked readers */
wake_up_interruptible(&log->wq);
return ret;
}
一条log日志的头部信息(12-06 16:12:23.849 3700 3788)是在kernel中写入的。do_write_log()
static void do_write_log(struct logger_log *log, const void *buf, size_t count)
{
size_t len;
//Buffer剩余的长度和消息长度取较小的值
- //如果buffer剩余长度不够写完一条信息,就进入下面的if,把剩余的部分,从头部开始写进去。
len = min(count, log->size - log->w_off);
memcpy(log->buffer + log->w_off, buf, len);
//如果一条Log,不够剩余的buffer的话,上面memcpy就是写了前半部分,
- //下面的memcpy就把剩下的后半部分(cout-len),写到log->buffer的头。
- //这里体现了循环Buffer。
if (count != len)
memcpy(log->buffer, buf + len, count - len);
- //移动w_off
log->w_off = logger_offset(log, log->w_off + count);
}
写完头部,再写用户层传过来的信息
static ssize_t do_write_log_from_user(struct logger_log *log,
const void __user *buf, size_t count)
{
- //同理会作判断,是否剩余buffer能够写完,否则就把剩余的部分从头开始写
- len = min(count, log->size - log->w_off);
if (len && copy_from_user(log->buffer + log->w_off, buf, len))
return -EFAULT;
if (count != len)
if (copy_from_user(log->buffer, buf + len, count - len))
- log->w_off = logger_offset(log, log->w_off + count);
return count;
}
5,写操作基本上完成了,接下来看读操作。
static ssize_t logger_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *pos)
{
//1,如果读的偏移r_off与写的偏移w_off相等,则循环阻塞,直到write最后唤醒
while (1) {
prepare_to_wait(&log->wq, &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);//write函数的
wake_up_interruptible(&log->wq);会唤醒
//Write的off存在Logger_log即内存buffer中,而r_off存在reder,即读的进程中。所以执行两次不同的logcat,都是从头开始读的。
ret = (log->w_off == reader->r_off);
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
if (!ret)
break;//如果不相等就跳出去处理。
schedule(); //把cpu调试出去,等待队列的唤醒
}
- if (!reader->r_all)
reader->r_off = get_next_entry_by_uid(log,
reader->r_off, current_euid());
/* get the size of the next entry */
//2,获取要读的整个一条日志的长度,同样由两部分组成,一个head长度+信息的长度。
ret = get_user_hdr_len(reader->r_ver) +
get_entry_msg_len(log, reader->r_off);
- /* get exactly one entry from the log */
//3,把log读ret长度的信息到buf中。
ret = do_read_log_to_user(log, reader, buf, ret);
out:
mutex_unlock(&log->mutex);
return ret;
}
来看看第3步do_read_log_to_user的实现
static ssize_t do_read_log_to_user(struct logger_log *log,
struct logger_reader *reader,
char __user *buf,
size_t count)
{
-
//先把header copy到用户空间
entry = get_entry_header(log, reader->r_off, &scratch);
if (copy_header_to_user(reader->r_ver, entry, buf))
return -EFAULT;
count -= get_user_hdr_len(reader->r_ver);
buf += get_user_hdr_len(reader->r_ver);
msg_start = logger_offset(log,
reader->r_off + sizeof(struct logger_entry));
/*
* We read from the msg in two disjoint operations. First, we read from
* the current msg head offset up to 'count' bytes or to the end of
* the log, whichever comes first.
*/
//同样做是否到log buffer尾部的判断,否则就要读两次
len = min(count, log->size - msg_start);
if (copy_to_user(buf, log->buffer + msg_start, len))
return -EFAULT;
- ...
if (count != len)
if (copy_to_user(buf + len, log->buffer, count - len))
return -EFAULT;
//移动reader的off偏移
reader->r_off = logger_offset(log, reader->r_off +
sizeof(struct logger_entry) + count);
return count + get_user_hdr_len(reader->r_ver);
}
这样Logger的实现基本就完成了,循环Buffer的实现,也就是在读与写的操作过程,是否已经到了buffer尾的判断。
len = min(count, log->size - msg_start);
if (copy_to_user(buf, log->buffer + msg_start, len))
if (count != len)
if (copy_to_user(buf + len, log->buffer, count - len))
return -EFAULT;
RingBuffer是Kernel一个常用的数据结构,从Logger系统中看它的实现,看到其它模块使用,心里也有就数了。
