Android에서 VSync 동작 원리 및 초기화 과정(1)

 안드로이드 기반 디바이스에서 화면의 출력되는 정보가 변경될 경우 이를 지속적으로 갱신해 줄 필요가 있습니다. 안드로이드에서 이 기능을 수행하는 것으로 VSync가 있습니다. VSync란 안드로이드 기기에 표출되는 화면의 정보가 변경되었을 때 이를 호출하는 신호로 이는 Choreographer 클래스에서 정의하고 있습니다. 자세한 설명은 아래 그림을 통해 해 보도록 하겠습니다.

 VSync는 주기적으로 신호를 발생하여 디스플레이의 화면을 갱신시키는 함수를 호출합니다. 하드웨어의 설정대로 VSync의 발생 주기는 60Hz입니다. VSync는 HWComposer에서 설정되며 설정 과정을 소스코드를 통해 분석해 보도록 합니다. HWComposer는 SurfaceFlinger가 초기화될 때 동시에 진행됩니다. SurfaceFlinger가 생성되는 과정에 대해서는 아래 링크를 참조해 주시기 바랍니다.

}

위 과정을 통해 pHmi가 설정되는 것을 보실 수 있습니다.이 때 dlsym()함수는 동적 적제 라이브러리로 해당 기기의 Library와 연결되게 됩니다.

 다음으로 hwc_open_1() 함수와 hwc_close_1() 함수를 살펴보도록 하겠습니다.

/hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/hwcomposer.h

....
/** convenience API for opening and closing a device */
 
static inline int hwc_open_1(const struct hw_module_t* module,
        hwc_composer_device_1_t** device) {
    return module->methods->open(module,
            HWC_HARDWARE_COMPOSER, (struct hw_device_t**)device);
}
 
static inline int hwc_close_1(hwc_composer_device_1_t* device) {
    return device->common.close(&device->common);
}
....

 hwc_open_1() 함수는 위의 과정에서 동적 라이브러리와 연결되어 있는 method 내의 open()함수를 통해 hwc_device_open()함수를 호출하게 됩니다.

/hardware/qcom/display/msm8960/libhwcomposer/hwc.cpp

static int hwc_device_open(const struct hw_module_t* module, const char* name,
                           struct hw_device_t** device)
{
    int status = -EINVAL;
 
    if (!strcmp(name, HWC_HARDWARE_COMPOSER)) {
        struct hwc_context_t *dev;
        dev = (hwc_context_t*)malloc(sizeof(*dev));
        memset(dev, 0, sizeof(*dev));
 
        //Initialize hwc context
        initContext(dev);
 
        //Setup HWC methods
        dev->device.common.tag          = HARDWARE_DEVICE_TAG;
        dev->device.common.version      = HWC_DEVICE_API_VERSION_1_2;
        dev->device.common.module       = const_cast<hw_module_t*>(module);
        dev->device.common.close        = hwc_device_close;
        dev->device.prepare             = hwc_prepare;
        dev->device.set                 = hwc_set;
        dev->device.eventControl        = hwc_eventControl;
        dev->device.blank               = hwc_blank;
        dev->device.query               = hwc_query;
        dev->device.registerProcs       = hwc_registerProcs;
        dev->device.dump                = hwc_dump;
        dev->device.getDisplayConfigs   = hwc_getDisplayConfigs;
        dev->device.getDisplayAttributes = hwc_getDisplayAttributes;
        *device = &dev->device.common;
        status = 0;
    }
    return status;
}

 위의 과정을 mhwc이 모두 정의되면 되면 다음으로 callback으로  각 함수들이 적용됩니다.

/frameworks/native/services/surfaceflinger/DisplayHardware/HWComposer.cpp

....
 
struct HWComposer::cb_context {
    struct callbacks : public hwc_procs_t {
        // these are here to facilitate the transition when adding
        // new callbacks (an implementation can check for NULL before
        // calling a new callback).
        void (*zero[4])(void);
    };
    callbacks procs;
    HWComposer* hwc;
};
 
....
 
if (mHwc) {
        ALOGI("Using %s version %u.%u", HWC_HARDWARE_COMPOSER,
              (hwcApiVersion(mHwc) >> 24) & 0xff,
              (hwcApiVersion(mHwc) >> 16) & 0xff);
        if (mHwc->registerProcs) {
            mCBContext->hwc = this;
            mCBContext->procs.invalidate = &hook_invalidate;
            mCBContext->procs.vsync = &hook_vsync;
            if (hwcHasApiVersion(mHwc, HWC_DEVICE_API_VERSION_1_1))
                mCBContext->procs.hotplug = &hook_hotplug;
            else
                mCBContext->procs.hotplug = NULL;
            memset(mCBContext->procs.zero, 0, sizeof(mCBContext->procs.zero));
            mHwc->registerProcs(mHwc, &mCBContext->procs);
        }
 
        // don't need a vsync thread if we have a hardware composer
        needVSyncThread = false;
        // always turn vsync off when we start
        eventControl(HWC_DISPLAY_PRIMARY, HWC_EVENT_VSYNC, 0);
 
        // the number of displays we actually have depends on the
        // hw composer version
        if (hwcHasApiVersion(mHwc, HWC_DEVICE_API_VERSION_1_3)) {
            // 1.3 adds support for virtual displays
            mNumDisplays = MAX_HWC_DISPLAYS;
        } else if (hwcHasApiVersion(mHwc, HWC_DEVICE_API_VERSION_1_1)) {
            // 1.1 adds support for multiple displays
            mNumDisplays = NUM_BUILTIN_DISPLAYS;
        } else {
            mNumDisplays = 1;
        }
    }
 
....

 위에서 보시는 바와 같이 Callback 함수로 vsync 함수가 등록되어 지는 것을 확인하실 수 있습니다. 설정이 완료된 후 registerProcs()함수가 실행되여 Callback 함수를 등록하게 됩니다. 이는 이전에 hwc_device_open()함수에서 등록되어 있는 것이 실행됩니다.

/hardware/qcom/display/msm8960/libhwcomposer/hwc.cpp

/*
 * Save callback functions registered to HWC
 */
static void hwc_registerProcs(struct hwc_composer_device_1* dev,
                              hwc_procs_t const* procs)
{
    ALOGI("%s", __FUNCTION__);
    hwc_context_t* ctx = (hwc_context_t*)(dev);
    if(!ctx) {
        ALOGE("%s: Invalid context", __FUNCTION__);
        return;
    }
    ctx->proc = procs;
 
    // Now that we have the functions needed, kick off
    // the uevent & vsync threads
    init_uevent_thread(ctx);
    init_vsync_thread(ctx);
}

 위 hwc_registerProcs() 함수가 호출되면서 init_vsync_thread()를 호출함으로서 vsync thread가 만들어집니다.

/hardware/qcom/display/msm8960/libhwcomposer/hwc_vsync.cpp

void init_vsync_thread(hwc_context_t* ctx)
{
    int ret;
    pthread_t vsync_thread;
    ALOGI("Initializing VSYNC Thread");
    ret = pthread_create(&vsync_thread, NULL, vsync_loop, (void*) ctx);
    if (ret) {
        ALOGE("%s: failed to create %s: %s", __FUNCTION__,
              HWC_VSYNC_THREAD_NAME, strerror(ret));
    }
}

 위의 과정을 통해 VSync를 담당하는 thread가 생성되었음을 확인하였습니다. 여기서 VSync Thread의 소스코드를 확인해 보는 것으로 이번 포스팅을 마치도록 하겠습니다. 다음 포스팅에서 계속 이어서 소스코드 설명을 진행하도록 하겠습니다.
