Android从7.0开始引入新的OTA升级方式,A/B System Updates,这里将其叫做A/B系统,涉及的内容较多,分多篇对A/B系统的各个方面进行分析。本文为第四篇,系统的启动和升级。

本文基于AOSP 7.1.1_r23 (NMF27D)代码进行分析。

1. 系统的启动

1.1 bootloader检查slot metadata

系统复位后,bootloader会去读取boot_control私有的存储数slot metadata并进行解析,以此确定从哪一个slot启动。
以下是Android官方的一个bootloader加载流程图:

<code>Android</code>官方<code>bootloader</code>加载流程图” title=””></p>
<p>大致启动流程如下:</p>
<ol>
<li>系统启动后,<code>bootloader</code>读取分区元数据<code>slot metadata</code>;</li>
<li>检查分区元数据中是否有可启动的分区,如果没有可启动分区,直接进入<code>bootloader</code>的<code>recovery mode</code>(即<code>bootloader</code>下的刷机模式),一般是进入<code>fastboot</code>命令行;</li>
<li>如果分区元数据中有可启动的分区,则选择所有可启动分区中优先级最高的<code>slot</code>(例如,直接选择当前设置为<code>active</code>的分区);</li>
<li>检查所选择分区的<code>retry count</code>(<code>retry count</code>表示当前分区可以尝试启动的次数);</li>
<li>如果当前选择分区的<code>retry count</code>为0,且没有启动成功(启动成功的分区会标记为<code>successful</code>),则将所选择分区标记为无效分区(通常设置为<code>unbootable</code>),然后重复第2步,查找下一个可以启动的分区;</li>
<li>如果当前选择的分区尝试启动次数<code>retry count</code>不为0,则表示还可以继续尝试从当前分区启动,需要将其<code>retry count</code>进行递减,然后加载相应的<code>slot</code>进行启动; </li>
</ol>
<h3 id=1.2 linux系统的启动

上一步中,bootloader会根据slot metadata确定读取哪一个slotboot分区进行启动。

每一个slot上有两个rootfs

  • boot分区自带recovery moderamdisk;
  • system分区包含了Android系统的rootfs;

启动中,如何选择加载boot分区的ramdisk还是system分区的rootfs呢?
答案是由kernel的命令行参数skip_initramfs来决定。

下面来看skip_initramfs参数是如何起作用的。

系统同时包含init\noinitramfs.cinit\initramfs.c的代码,并在initramfs.c模块中定义并解析skip_initramfs参数:

# init\initramfs.c
static int __initdata do_skip_initramfs;

static int __init skip_initramfs_param(char *str)
{
    if (*str)
        return 0;
    # 设置do_skip_initramfs标志
    do_skip_initramfs = 1;
    return 1;
}
# 用于解析命令行的`skip_initramfs`参数
__setup("skip_initramfs", skip_initramfs_param);

如果命令行设置了skip_initramfs,则do_skip_initramfs会被设置为1。

linux调用populate_rootfs默认会并加载boot分区自带的ramdisk,但如果do_skip_initramfs
设置为1,则调用default_rootfs生成一个极小的rootfs

# init\initramfs.c
static int __init populate_rootfs(void)
{
    char *err;

    # 如果do_skip_initramfs置1,则调用default_rootfs生成一个极小的rootfs
    if (do_skip_initramfs)
        return default_rootfs();

    # 没有设置do_skip_initramfs的情况下,才会解析并加载`boot`分区所包含的`ramdisk`
    err = unpack_to_rootfs(__initramfs_start, __initramfs_size);
    if (err)
        panic("%s", err); /* Failed to decompress INTERNAL initramfs */
    ...
    return 0;
}

default_rootfs的内容很简单,用于在内存中生成一个极小的rootfs,仅包含/devroot两个文件夹以及一个设备节点/dev/console

# init\noinitramfs.c
/*
 * Create a simple rootfs that is similar to the default initramfs
 */
static int __init default_rootfs(void)
{
    int err;
    # 创建/dev文件夹用于存放/dev/console设备节点
    err = sys_mkdir((const char __user __force *) "/dev", 0755);
    if (err < 0)
        goto out;
    # 创建/dev/console设备节点
    err = sys_mknod((const char __user __force *) "/dev/console",
            S_IFCHR | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR,
            new_encode_dev(MKDEV(5, 1)));
    if (err < 0)
        goto out;
    # 创建/root目录,作为根用户root的home
    err = sys_mkdir((const char __user __force *) "/root", 0700);
    if (err < 0)
        goto out;

    return 0;

out:
    printk(KERN_WARNING "Failed to create a rootfs\n");
    return err;
}

因此skip_initramfs参数决定了加载哪一个rootfs,进入哪一个系统。

  • 加载android系统的命令行参数
    skip_initramfs rootwait ro init=/init root="/dev/dm-0 dm=system none ro,0 1 android-verity <public-key-id> <path-to-system-partition>"
    例如Broadcom7252SSFFDR3参考平台的启动Android系统的参数为:

    mem=1016m@0m mem=1024m@2048m bmem=339m@669m bmem=237m@2048m  \
    brcm_cma=784m@2288m \
    ramoops.mem_address=0x3F800000 ramoops.mem_size=0x800000 ramoops.console_size=0x400000 \
    buildvariant=userdebug \
    veritykeyid=id:7e4333f9bba00adfe0ede979e28ed1920492b40f buildvariant=eng \
    rootwait init=/init ro \
    root=/dev/dm-0 dm="system none ro,0 1 android-verity PARTUUID=c49e0acb-1b38-95e5-548a-2b7260e704a4" skip_initramfs
    

    除去rootfs不相关的参数,看起来是这样的:
    rootwait init=/init ro root=/dev/dm-0 dm="system none ro,0 1 android-verity PARTUUID=c49e0acb-1b38-95e5-548a-2b7260e704a4" skip_initramfs

命令行中,文件系统的root设备由参数root="/dev/dm-0 dm=system none ro,0 1 android-verity <public-key-id> <path-to-system-partition>"指定,显然,这里的root参数设置将设备名设置为/dev/dm-0,至于设备/dev/dm-0是一个什么设备,作用为何,属于另一个话题dm-verity,此处不再展开讨论。

  • 加载recovery系统的命令行参数
    rootwait init=/init ro
    例如Broadcom7252SSFFDR3参考平台的启动Recovery的参数为:

    mem=1016m@0m mem=1024m@2048m bmem=339m@669m bmem=237m@2048m \
    brcm_cma=784m@2288m \
    ramoops.mem_address=0x3F800000 ramoops.mem_size=0x800000 ramoops.console_size=0x400000 \
    rootwait init=/init ro \
    buildvariant=userdebug veritykeyid=id:7e4333f9bba00adfe0ede979e28ed1920492b40f buildvariant=eng
    

    除去rootfs不相关的参数,看起来是这样的:
    rootwait init=/init ro

默认linux是不支持参数skip_initramfs参数的,Android系统中为了跳过boot分区的ramdisk,引入了这个命令行参数,参考以下提交:

https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/158491/ [initramfs: Add skip_initramfs command line option]

1.3 Android系统的启动

linux启动后,通过dm-verify机制校验system分区,完成后加载system分区内包含的rootfs,通过/init程序解析/init.rc脚本,完成Android系统的启动。

这部分的启动过程跟传统的系统启动是一样的。

1.4 Recovery系统的启动

linux启动后,根据参数,加载boot分区的ramdisk,通过/init程序解析/init.rc脚本,启动Recovery系统。

这部分的启动过程跟传统的Recovery系统启动是一样的。

2. 系统的升级

A/B系统升级包的制作方式跟传统系统升级包制作方式基本一致,主要分为两步:

  1. 编译系统文件
  2. 制作升级包

升级方式根据升级包的内容分为两种:

  1. 完整升级,升级包包含完整的系统,对内容进行全新升级;
  2. 增量升级/差分升级,升级包仅包含跟当前系统不一样的内容,对系统进行打补丁式升级;

2.1 完整升级

  1. 升级包的制作

    • 第一步,编译系统

      $ source build/envsetup.sh
      $ lunch bcm7252ssffdr4-userdebug
      $ mkdir dist_output
      $ make -j32 dist DIST_DIR=dist_output
        [...]
      $ ls -lh dist-output/*target_files*
      -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users 566M May 21 14:49 bcm7252ssffdr4-target_files-eng.ygu.zip
      
    • 第二步,制作安装包

      $ ./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files dist-output/bcm7252ssffdr4-target_files-eng.ygu.zip full-ota.zip
      $ ls -lh dist-output
      -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users 270M May 21 14:51 full-ota.zip
      
  2. 升级包的内容

    解压缩full-ota.zip可以看到其内容:

    $ mkdir full-ota
    $ unzip full-ota.zip -d full-ota
    Archive:  full-ota.zip
    signed by SignApk
     extracting: full-ota/payload.bin
      inflating: full-ota/META-INF/com/android/metadata
      inflating: full-ota/care_map.txt
      inflating: full-ota/payload_properties.txt
      inflating: full-ota/META-INF/com/android/otacert
      inflating: full-ota/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
      inflating: full-ota/META-INF/CERT.SF
      inflating: full-ota/META-INF/CERT.RSA
    $ ls -lh full-ota
    total 270M
    drwxr-sr-x 3 ygu users 4.0K May 21 18:14 META-INF
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users   36 Jan  1  2009 care_map.txt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users 270M Jan  1  2009 payload.bin
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users  154 Jan  1  2009 payload_properties.txt
    $ tree -l full-ota
    full-ota
    |-- META-INF
    |   |-- CERT.RSA
    |   |-- CERT.SF
    |   |-- MANIFEST.MF
    |   `-- com
    |       `-- android
    |           |-- metadata
    |           `-- otacert
    |-- care_map.txt
    |-- payload.bin
    `-- payload_properties.txt
    
    3 directories, 8 files
    

    其中,payload.bin是系统要更新的数据文件,payload_properties.txt包含了升级内容的一些属性信息,如下:

    $ cat full-ota/payload_properties.txt
    FILE_HASH=ozGgyQEcnkI5ZaX+Wbjo5I/PCR7PEZka9fGd0nWa+oY=
    FILE_SIZE=282164983
    METADATA_HASH=GLIKfE6KRwylWMHsNadG/Q8iy5f7ENWTatvMdBlpoPg=
    METADATA_SIZE=21023
    

    升级时会使用到payload_properties.txt里面的信息。

  3. 系统包的使用

    A/B系统在debug模式下会包含升级应用update_engine_client,其参数如下:

    bcm7252ssffdr4:/ # which update_engine_client
    /system/bin/update_engine_client
    bcm7252ssffdr4:/ # update_engine_client --help
    Android Update Engine Client
    
      --cancel  (Cancel the ongoing update and exit.)  type: bool  default: false
      --follow  (Follow status update changes until a final state is reached. Exit status is 0 if the update succeeded, and 1 otherwise.)  type: bool  default: false
      --headers  (A list of key-value pairs, one element of the list per line. Used when --update is passed.)  type: string  default: ""
      --help  (Show this help message)  type: bool  default: false
      --offset  (The offset in the payload where the CrAU update starts. Used when --update is passed.)  type: int64  default: 0
      --payload  (The URI to the update payload to use.)  type: string  default: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/payload"
      --reset_status  (Reset an already applied update and exit.)  type: bool  default: false
      --resume  (Resume a suspended update.)  type: bool  default: false
      --size  (The size of the CrAU part of the payload. If 0 is passed, it will be autodetected. Used when --update is passed.)  type: int64  default: 0
      --suspend  (Suspend an ongoing update and exit.)  type: bool  default: false
      --update  (Start a new update, if no update in progress.)  type: bool  default: false
    

    payload.bin文件放到可以通过http访问的地方,然后在命令行调用update_engine_client进行升级:

    bcm7252ssffdr4:/ # update_engine_client \
    --payload=http://stbszx-bld-5/public/android/full-ota/payload.bin \
    --update \
    --headers="\
      FILE_HASH=ozGgyQEcnkI5ZaX+Wbjo5I/PCR7PEZka9fGd0nWa+oY= \
      FILE_SIZE=282164983
      METADATA_HASH=GLIKfE6KRwylWMHsNadG/Q8iy5f7ENWTatvMdBlpoPg= \
      METADATA_SIZE=21023 \
    "
    

    其中headers选项需要填写payload_properties.txt文件的内容。

2.2 增量升级/差分升级

差分包升级与完整包升级除了升级包的制作不一样之外,生成的升级包文件内容一样,使用update_engine_client进行升级的操作也完全一样,因此这里仅说明差分包的制作。

差分升级包的制作

  • 第一步,对android进行改动并编译系统

    差分升级时,需要保留原有系统的生成文件,然后修改后生成新的系统文件,这里假定原有系统生成文件位于:dist_output,修改后生成的系统文件位于dist_output-new,编译方式跟完整包的生成方式一样。

    $ source build/envsetup.sh
    $ lunch bcm7252ssffdr4-userdebug
    $ mkdir dist_output
    $ make -j32 dist DIST_DIR=dist_output
      [...]
    $ ls -lh dist-output-new/*target_files*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ygu users 566M May 21 15:27 bcm7252ssffdr4-target_files-eng.ygu.zip
    
  • 第二步,制作安装包

    对比原有系统文件和修改后的系统文件生成差分包,这里通过-i指定差分包生成的基线(baseline)。

    $./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files \
    -i dist-output/bcm7252ssffdr4-target_files-eng.ygu.zip \
    dist-output-new/bcm7252ssffdr4-target_files-eng.ygu.zip \
    incremental-ota.zip
    

2.3 升级日志样本

调用update_engine_client进行升级后可以通过logcat查看其升级日志,如:

bcm7252ssffdr4:/ # update_engine_client \
--payload=http://stbszx-bld-5/public/android/full-ota/payload.bin \
--update \
--headers="\
  FILE_HASH=ozGgyQEcnkI5ZaX+Wbjo5I/PCR7PEZka9fGd0nWa+oY= \
  FILE_SIZE=282164983 \
  METADATA_HASH=GLIKfE6KRwylWMHsNadG/Q8iy5f7ENWTatvMdBlpoPg= \
  METADATA_SIZE=21023 \

以上logcat信息已经去掉了时间戳,原始的log信息请参考:update_engine_client log

update_engine更新操作成功后会提示Update successfully applied, waiting to reboot.,要求系统进行重启,重启后会设置相应分区slot的属性为successful,表明系统能够成功启动。

重启系统,检查Android系统的编译版本和时间戳,验证升级是否成功。
