「下一站」到底有多遠？

DDMS 是您的好朋友

Dalvik heap, GC, call stack, log, intent/activity

特立獨行的 Android

GTK

FFmpeg

Linux Kernel

Glibc

Alsa

SSL

在 Android中，您所熟悉的套件

砍掉重練不是壞事只是重新長出來的東西很不一樣

Android砍掉重練

glibc - OK!

bionic : 一連串的錯誤(非 POSIX相容 )

libc大不同

在 sys/cdefs.h 定義

gcc: mntent.h → features.h → cdefs.h

bionic: mntent → ???

兩邊的實作方式不一樣

libc大不同

Iptables, wireless-toolsglibc

#include <net/ethernet.h>bionic

#include <net/if_net.h>

glibc#include <sys/soundcard.h>

bionic#include <linux/soundcard.h>

ipv6glibc: /usr/include/netinet/in.hbionic: ???

沒有 getline, dprintf, vdprintf...etcVery limited support for SysV, POSIX

/usr/include/bits/socket.h

/* Type for length arguments in socket calls. */#ifndef __socklen_t_definedtypedef __socklen_t socklen_t;# define __socklen_t_defined#endif

bionic/libc/include/sys/socket.h

typedef int socklen_t;

這些都算小問題，雖然會增加移植的成本終究還是能夠解決

libc大不同

bionic/libc/docs/SYSV-IPC.TXT

Android does not support System V IPCs, i.e. the facilities provided by the following standard Posix headers:

<sys/sem.h> /* SysV semaphores */ <sys/shm.h> /* SysV shared memory segments */ <sys/msg.h> /* SysV message queues */ <sys/ipc.h> /* General IPC definitions */

The reason for this is due to the fact that, by design, they lead to globalkernel resource leakage.

這份文件第一次出現在 2009/02/19

(bionic)沒有 IPC的 shared memory

Linker 的設計沒有處理 weak symbol 遇到 weak symbol 便傳回錯誤的值

(bionic)linker/linker.c

系統效能分析與評估

SoC specific module (minimal efforts)

• libopencorehw.so (OpenCore HW module)http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/hardware_omap3_libopencorehw

• liboverlay.so (Graphics overlays module)

• libcamera.so (Camera HAL)http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/hardware_omap3_camera

• libaudio.so (Audio HAL)http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/hardware_alsa_sound

0xdroid provides the full source code of reference hardware acceleration modules for Android.

Performance Evaluation on Beagleboard

• TI OMAP3 SoC powered

• 500 MHz / ARM Cortex A8• 0xdroid – well-tuned Android for Beagleboard (TI

OMAP 3530)– http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/

• Based on Android Donut branch– beagle-cupcake-0x2, beagle-donut-0x3

• Expertise in Android porting and performance tuning.

• Embedded CaffeineMark

• Dalvik VM : 1034• CVM + JIT : 7526

• Dalvik + bionic : CVM pure interpreter + glibc– Sieve → 950 : 351

Memory operation tweaks

Dalvik, PixelFlinger, Skia

PixelFlinger JIT

optimized scanline_t32cb16

Reference benchmark on Beagleboard (TI OMAP353x) at 500 MHz

scanline_t32cb16_c memory bandwidth: 31.63 MB/s

scanline_t32cb16_neon memory bandwidth: 147.69 MB/s

It could dramatically improve boot animation performance.

scanline_t32cb16blend_arm memory bandwidth: 57.61 MB/s

scanline_t32cb16blend_neon memory bandwidth: 128.66 MB/s

scanline_t32cb16blend_c: generic C implementation.

PixelFlinger JIT

(Blends a single color into an RGB565 buffer.)

Before: 27 inst/pixel, After: 24 inst/pixel, Improvement: 12.5%

(Blends RGB565 texture into an RGB565 buffer using alpha.)


UBFX instructionSigned and Unsigned Bit Field Extract. Copies adjacent bits

from one register into the least significant bits of a second register,and sign extends or zero extends to 32 bits.

PixelFlinger JIT

Code has been scheduled for A8 pipeline, specifically aiming to allow

multiplies to issue in pipeline 0, for efficient dual issue operation.

Testing on SpriteMethodTest (http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/) gives

8% improvement (12.7 vs. 13.7 fps.)

UBXTB16 instructionIntroducing the UXTB16 instruction allows removal of some maskingcode, and is beneficial from a pipeline point of view - lots of UXTB16

followed by MUL sequences.
