binder学习笔记（十）—— 穿越到驱动层

Binder驱动层的代码在kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android下的binder.c和binder.h。Android源码是不带Linux内核的，驱动正是在这个内核里，需要单独下载，出门左转参见《Anrdoid源码、内核编译》。驱动的相关知识先不在这里展开了，那又是一个庞大的体系，以后再啃。直奔我们的主题——客户端为test()组织的请求数据是：

驱动程序是如何处理这个数据包的呢？

从应用层登陆，顺流直下

为此，还需要先从应用层往下看，frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:548，就从这里登陆吧。客户端组织test()请求数据时，调用到IPCThreadState::transact(...)

status_t IPCThreadState::transact(int32_t handle,
                                  uint32_t code, const Parcel& data,
                                  Parcel* reply, uint32_t flags)
{   // code=TEST, flag=0

    flags |= TF_ACCEPT_FDS;
    ......
    
        err = writeTransactionData(BC_TRANSACTION, flags, handle, code, data, NULL);
    
        ......
        if (reply) {
            err = waitForResponse(reply);  // 这次重点看这里
        } else {
            Parcel fakeReply;
            err = waitForResponse(&fakeReply);
        }
        ......
    
    return err;
}

函数使用writeTransactionData(…)打包好数据后，接下来调用waitForResponse(…)把数据发出去。
frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:712

status_t IPCThreadState::waitForResponse(Parcel *reply, status_t *acquireResult)
{
    uint32_t cmd;
    int32_t err;

    while (1) {
        if ((err=talkWithDriver()) < NO_ERROR) break;
        ......
        }
        ......
    
    return err;
}

继续调用talkWithDriver()和驱动对话,frameworks/native/libs/binder/IPCThreadState.cpp:803

status_t IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver(bool doReceive)
{   // doReceive=true
    ......
    binder_write_read bwr;
    ......
    const bool needRead = mIn.dataPosition() >= mIn.dataSize();// mIn有上一轮IO读出尚未解析的数据，因此needRead=true
    ......
    const size_t outAvail = (!doReceive || needRead) ? mOut.dataSize() : 0; // outAvail=mOut.dataSize()
    
    bwr.write_size = outAvail;
    bwr.write_buffer = (uintptr_t)mOut.data();
    ......
    if (doReceive && needRead) {
        bwr.read_size = mIn.dataCapacity();
        bwr.read_buffer = (uintptr_t)mIn.data();
    } 
    ......
    bwr.write_consumed = 0;
    bwr.read_consumed = 0;
    status_t err;
    do {
        ......
        if (ioctl(mProcess->mDriverFD, BINDER_WRITE_READ, &bwr) >= 0) // 重点在这
            err = NO_ERROR;
        ......
    } while (err == -EINTR);
    ......    
    return err;
}

doReceive取默认值为true，在通过test()调用到talkWithDriver(...)之前，和驱动的对话已经做了好几轮了，比如defaultServiceManager()和ServiceManager的对话，getService(...)和Service的对话，此时mIn中应该是有之前读出尚未解析的数据，因此needRead=true，outAvail=mOut.dataSize()。可以组织一个gdb确认mIn此时的内容。

组织一个gdb确认此时mIn的内容

需要开启三个终端完成调试：

1. Target1 在模拟器上启动server

$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestServer

2. Target2 在模拟器上通过gdbserver启动客户端

$ adb shell gdbserver :1234 /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestClient
Process /data/local/tmp/testservice/TestClient created; pid = 1254
Listening on port 1234
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1

3. Host1 在宿主端启动gdb

$ ./prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb out/debug/target/product/generic/obj/EXECUTABLES/TestClient_intermediates/LINKED/TestClient

......
然后就是若干轮的continue和backtrace，直到停在由test()调用触发的talkWithDriver(...)
......

  mOpenAshmemSize = 0}
(gdb) p needRead
$2 = true

结果和我猜测的一致。

综上所述，在IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver(...)中调用

ioctl(mProcess->mDriverFD, BINDER_WRITE_READ, &brw);

传入的数据bwr即为：

进入驱动层

终于可以有此穿越到驱动层了！binder驱动层对接ioctl的函数是binder_ioctl(...)。kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android/binder.c:2716

static long binder_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{   // cmd=BINDER_WRITE_READ
    int ret;
    struct binder_proc *proc = filp->private_data;
    struct binder_thread *thread;
    unsigned int size = _IOC_SIZE(cmd);
    void __user *ubuf = (void __user *)arg;

    ......
    thread = binder_get_thread(proc);
    ......

    switch (cmd) {
    case BINDER_WRITE_READ: {
        struct binder_write_read bwr;
        ......
        if (copy_from_user(&bwr, ubuf, sizeof(bwr))) {// 把上图总用户空间的bwr复制到内核
            ......
        }
        ......
        if (bwr.write_size > 0) {
            ret = binder_thread_write(proc, thread, (void __user *)bwr.write_buffer, bwr.write_size, &bwr.write_consumed);
            trace_binder_write_done(ret);
            ......
        }
        // bwr.read_size来自IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver，当读缓冲区为空，会将
        // mIn缓冲区交给它，bwr.read_size=mIn.dataCapacity()
        if (bwr.read_size > 0) {
            ret = binder_thread_read(proc, thread, (void __user *)bwr.read_buffer, bwr.read_size, &bwr.read_consumed, filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK);
            trace_binder_read_done(ret);
            if (!list_empty(&proc->todo))
                wake_up_interruptible(&proc->wait);
            ... ...
        }
        ......
    }
    ......
    }
    ret = 0;
......
    return ret;
}

先尽可能地剪掉细枝末节，来看重点调用

binder_thread_write(proc, thread, (void __user *)bwr.write_buffer,
                            bwr.write_size, &bwr.write_consumed);

kernel/goldfish/drivers/staging/android/binder.c:1837

int binder_thread_write(struct binder_proc *proc, struct binder_thread *thread,
            void __user *buffer, int size, signed long *consumed)
{
    uint32_t cmd;
    void __user *ptr = buffer + *consumed;
    void __user *end = buffer + size;

    while (ptr < end && thread->return_error == BR_OK) {
        if (get_user(cmd, (uint32_t __user *)ptr))
            return -EFAULT;
        ptr += sizeof(uint32_t);
        trace_binder_command(cmd);
        if (_IOC_NR(cmd) < ARRAY_SIZE(binder_stats.bc)) {
            binder_stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;
            proc->stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;
            thread->stats.bc[_IOC_NR(cmd)]++;
        }
        switch (cmd) {
        ......
        case BC_TRANSACTION:
        case BC_REPLY: {
            struct binder_transaction_data tr;

            if (copy_from_user(&tr, ptr, sizeof(tr)))
                return -EFAULT;
            ptr += sizeof(tr); // 对照前面的图逆向拆解
            binder_transaction(proc, thread, &tr, cmd == BC_REPLY);
            break;
        }
        ......
        }
        *consumed = ptr - buffer;
    }
    return 0;
}

这个cmd的值是BC_TRANSACTION，因此应该继续binder_transaction(proc, thread, &tr, false)。这个函数实在太长了，后面再花一节的篇幅深入该函数。

不过很清晰的一点：该函数仅在出错的时候才返回小于零的整数，如果一切正常就返回0。函数binder_ioctl(...)在case BINDER_WRITE_READ这一枝上，如果没有发生错误，则返回binder_thread_write(...)。也就是说：如果一切正常，binder_ioctl(...)会返回0，不管io的数据有多大。
