这一章,我们将从 hw_get_module() 函数入手,去探究 Libraries 层是如何调用 HAL 层的库中的函数的。
CameraService 是在开机时就会启动的,而当它第一次启动时,就会调用一个名为 onFirstRef() 的成员函数,我们所要探究的内容就是从这里开始的。
framework/av/services/camera/libcameraservice/CameraService.cppCameraService::onFirstRef():
onFirstRef 函数。notifier (这个 BatteryNotifier 好像是个单例,看类名好像和电池有关)。hw_get_module 函数获取 rawModule。rawModule 是 camera_module_t 类型。rawModule 创建 mModule 的实例,mModule 是 CameraModule 类。 BnCameraService::onFirstRef();
// Update battery life tracking if service is restarting
BatteryNotifier& notifier(BatteryNotifier::getInstance());
notifier.noteResetCamera();
notifier.noteResetFlashlight();
camera_module_t *rawModule;
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
int err = hw_get_module(CAMERA_HARDWARE_MODULE_ID,
(const hw_module_t **)&rawModule);
if (err < 0) {
ALOGE("Could not load camera HAL module: %d (%s)", err, strerror(-err));
logServiceError("Could not load camera HAL module", err);
return;
}
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
mModule = new CameraModule(rawModule);
err = mModule->init();
hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/hardware.h/**
* Name of the hal_module_info
*/
#define HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM HMI
/**
* Name of the hal_module_info as a string
*/
#define HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM_AS_STR "HMI"
声明了这两个函数:
hw_get_module():
id 来获取模块相关的信息。0,出错则返回值小于 0 且 *module == NULL。hw_get_module_by_class():
class_id 获取与模块实例相关的信息。audio.primary..so audio.a2dp..so /**
* Get the module info associated with a module by id.
*
* @return: 0 == success, <0 == error and *module == NULL
*/
int hw_get_module(const char *id, const struct hw_module_t **module);
/**
* Get the module info associated with a module instance by class 'class_id'
* and instance 'inst'.
*
* Some modules types necessitate multiple instances. For example audio supports
* multiple concurrent interfaces and thus 'audio' is the module class
* and 'primary' or 'a2dp' are module interfaces. This implies that the files
* providing these modules would be named audio.primary..so and
* audio.a2dp..so
*
* @return: 0 == success, <0 == error and *module == NULL
*/
int hw_get_module_by_class(const char *class_id, const char *inst,
const struct hw_module_t **module);
hardware/libhardware/hardware.cstatic const char *variant_keys[] = {
"ro.hardware", /* This goes first so that it can pick up a different
file on the emulator. */
"ro.product.board",
"ro.board.platform",
"ro.arch"
};
hw_get_module():
int hw_get_module(const char *id, const struct hw_module_t **module)
{
return hw_get_module_by_class(id, NULL, module);
}
hw_get_module_by_class():
ro.hardwarero.product.boardro.board.platformro.archdefaultload 函数加载模块。 /* First try a property specific to the class and possibly instance */
snprintf(prop_name, sizeof(prop_name), "ro.hardware.%s", name);
if (property_get(prop_name, prop, NULL) > 0) {
if (hw_module_exists(path, sizeof(path), name, prop) == 0) {
goto found;
}
}
/* Loop through the configuration variants looking for a module */
for (i=0 ; i<HAL_VARIANT_KEYS_COUNT; i++) {

}

}
return -ENOENT;
found:
/* load the module, if this fails, we're doomed, and we should not try

/*** NOTE THIS ***/
return load(class_id, path, module);
/* First try a property specific to the class and possibly instance */
snprintf(prop_name, sizeof(prop_name), "ro.hardware.%s", name);

return -ENOENT;
found:
/* load the module, if this fails, we're doomed, and we should not try
* to load a different variant. */
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
return load(class_id, path, module);
load():
dlopen() 函数获取一个 handle。dlsym() 函数从动态链接库中获取 hw_module_t 类型的 hmi。sym。sym 对应宏 HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM_AS_STR,即 “HMI”。.so 文件,是一个 ELF 文件。ELF:Executable and Linkable Format,可执行链接格式。ELF 文件头保存了一个路线图,用于描述文件的组织结构。readelf -s 命令,我们可以查看对应的 .so 文件描述,可以看到其中有一个 Name 属性为 HMI ,其对应的位置就是我们所需要的结构体 hw_module_t。HMI 字段,就可以从动态链接库中读取出相应的结构体,从而得以在 Libraries 层中调用 HAL 层的库函数。static int load(const char *id,
const char *path,
const struct hw_module_t **pHmi)
{
int status = -EINVAL;
void *handle = NULL;
struct hw_module_t *hmi = NULL;
/*
* load the symbols resolving undefined symbols before
* dlopen returns. Since RTLD_GLOBAL is not or'd in with
* RTLD_NOW the external symbols will not be global
*/
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
handle = dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW);
if (handle == NULL) {
char const *err_str = dlerror();
ALOGE("load: module=%s\n%s", path, err_str?err_str:"unknown");
status = -EINVAL;
goto done;
}
/* Get the address of the struct hal_module_info. */
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
const char *sym = HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM_AS_STR;
hmi = (struct hw_module_t *)dlsym(handle, sym);
if (hmi == NULL) {
ALOGE("load: couldn't find symbol %s", sym);
status = -EINVAL;
goto done;
}
/* Check that the id matches */
if (strcmp(id, hmi->id) != 0) {
ALOGE("load: id=%s != hmi->id=%s", id, hmi->id);
status = -EINVAL;
goto done;
}
hmi->dso = handle;
/* success */
status = 0;
/*** NOTE THIS ***/
done:
if (status != 0) {
hmi = NULL;
if (handle != NULL) {
dlclose(handle);
handle = NULL;
}
} else {
ALOGV("loaded HAL id=%s path=%s hmi=%p handle=%p",
id, path, *pHmi, handle);
}
*pHmi = hmi;
return status;
}
至此,我们就获得了最终的 rawModule,然后我们回到 onFirstRef() 中继续分析 CameraModule。
frameworks/av/services/camera/libcameraservice/common/CameraModule.cppmModule 是 camera_module_t 类型。CameraModule::CameraModule(camera_module_t *module) {
if (module == NULL) {
ALOGE("%s: camera hardware module must not be null",
__FUNCTION__);
assert(0);
}
mModule = module;
}
init():
mModule 的 init() 函数,这个 mModule 就是 camera_module_t 结构体对象。int CameraModule::init() {
ATRACE_CALL();
int res = OK;
if (getModuleApiVersion() >= CAMERA_MODULE_API_VERSION_2_4 &&
mModule->init != NULL) {
ATRACE_BEGIN("camera_module->init");
res = mModule->init();
ATRACE_END();
}
mCameraInfoMap.setCapacity(getNumberOfCameras());
return res;
}
hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/camera_common.hcamera_module_t:
init 函数指针。typedef struct camera_module {
hw_module_t common;
int (*get_number_of_cameras)(void);
int (*get_camera_info)(int camera_id, struct camera_info *info);
int (*set_callbacks)(const camera_module_callbacks_t *callbacks);
void (*get_vendor_tag_ops)(vendor_tag_ops_t* ops);
int (*open_legacy)(const struct hw_module_t* module, const char* id,
uint32_t halVersion, struct hw_device_t** device);
int (*set_torch_mode)(const char* camera_id, bool enabled);
int (*init)();
void* reserved[5];
} camera_module_t;
那么这些函数指针被映射到什么地方了?hardware 中 CameraHAL.cpp 中提供了原生的映射方法。
hardware/libhardware/modules/camera/3_0/CameraHAL.cppcamera_module_t HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM __attribute__ ((visibility("default"))) = {
.common = {
.tag = HARDWARE_MODULE_TAG,
.module_api_version = CAMERA_MODULE_API_VERSION_2_2,
.hal_api_version = HARDWARE_HAL_API_VERSION,
.id = CAMERA_HARDWARE_MODULE_ID,
.name = "Default Camera HAL",
.author = "The Android Open Source Project",
.methods = &gCameraModuleMethods,
.dso = NULL,
.reserved = {0},
},
.get_number_of_cameras = get_number_of_cameras,
.get_camera_info = get_camera_info,
.set_callbacks = set_callbacks,
.get_vendor_tag_ops = get_vendor_tag_ops,
.open_legacy = NULL,
.set_torch_mode = NULL,
.init = NULL,
.reserved = {0},
};
这是通用的映射,我们手机的芯片一般会重写这个 HAL 层接口,例如使用高通芯片的话,会在 QCamera2Hal.cpp 中重写这个函数映射。不同的芯片会在不同的地方,但是不会相差太大,况且这些函数指针都是一样的,这是 Android HAL 层提供的通用调用方法。
hardware/qcom/camera/QCamera2/QCamera2Hal.cppcamera_common。QCamera2Factory::mModuleMethodsstatic hw_module_t camera_common = {
.tag = HARDWARE_MODULE_TAG,
.module_api_version = CAMERA_MODULE_API_VERSION_2_4,
.hal_api_version = HARDWARE_HAL_API_VERSION,
.id = CAMERA_HARDWARE_MODULE_ID,
.name = "QCamera Module",
.author = "Qualcomm Innovation Center Inc",
.methods = &qcamera::QCamera2Factory::mModuleMethods,
.dso = NULL,
.reserved = {0}
};
camera_module_t HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM = {
.common = camera_common,
.get_number_of_cameras = qcamera::QCamera2Factory::get_number_of_cameras,
.get_camera_info = qcamera::QCamera2Factory::get_camera_info,
.set_callbacks = qcamera::QCamera2Factory::set_callbacks,
.get_vendor_tag_ops = qcamera::QCamera3VendorTags::get_vendor_tag_ops,
.open_legacy = qcamera::QCamera2Factory::open_legacy,
.set_torch_mode = qcamera::QCamera2Factory::set_torch_mode,
.init = NULL,
.reserved = {0}
};
hardware/qcom/camera/QCamera2/QCamera2Factory.cppstruct hw_module_methods_t QCamera2Factory::mModuleMethods = {
.open = QCamera2Factory::camera_device_open,
};
int QCamera2Factory::camera_device_open(
const struct hw_module_t *module, const char *id,
struct hw_device_t **hw_device)
{
int rc = NO_ERROR;
if (module != &HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM.common) {
LOGE("Invalid module. Trying to open %p, expect %p",
module, &HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM.common);
return INVALID_OPERATION;
}
if (!id) {
LOGE("Invalid camera id");
return BAD_VALUE;
}
#ifdef QCAMERA_HAL1_SUPPORT
if(gQCameraMuxer)
rc = gQCameraMuxer->camera_device_open(module, id, hw_device);
else
#endif
rc = gQCamera2Factory->cameraDeviceOpen(atoi(id), hw_device);
return rc;
}
再往下追踪就是芯片中重写的核心方法了,暂时不作深入分析。

本篇我们从 CameraService::onFirstRef() 入手,逐渐理顺了以 hw_get_module() 为中心的一个调用逻辑。实际上,Android HAL 层有一个通用的入口,即宏 HAL_MODULE_INFO_SYM,通过它,我们获取 HAL 层中的模块实例,从而使得我们可以调用 HAL 层所提供的函数。理解了 HAL 层的入口,接下来我们可以去对 Camera.startPreview() 的控制流程进行分析了。
