Android的BUG（四） - Android app的卡死问题

运行一些apk造成应用卡死的问题

做android，免不了要去运行一些跑分程序，常用的跑分程序有quadrant(象限)，nbench，安兔兔等。作为系统工程师，对这些跑分程序都非常的不屑，这个只能是一个不客观的参考，但客户都喜欢拿这个比较，于是乎，各家各厂都或多或少会针对此做优化(甚至是作弊或直接的作假)，这可不是什么好现象，浮夸的厉害，到处放卫星，亩产万斤的。国内大家常用的跑分程序，就是安兔兔了，但是不知道大家有没有发现，安兔兔跑起来后，有时会卡住不动，除了返回键和触摸操作都没什么用。

出现这一问题时，home键可以退出，继续运行其他应用，说明系统此时还是正常的。Top，vmstat看一下，也没有高CPU/IO占用率的进程，ps –t看一下，也没发现D状态的线程。不过，<span style="ps –t倒是发现了一个现象：

app_47 9691 8787 610076 28768 ffffffff 2aac4424 S com.antutu.ABenchMark
app_47 9706 9691 609060 24476 80061b00 2aac5434 S com.antutu.ABenchMark
出现了同名的进程！这很奇怪～
看这两个进程的父进程，一个是zygote，另外一个，则是com.antutu.ABenchMark自己。由此大约可以推断出来，后一个进程是前一个进程fork出来的，fork后还没来得及exec就卡住了。

接上adb，看下两个进程的状态吧：

Process: 9691
(gdb) bt

没什么特别的，确实是卡在process的fork中。

再看看process 9706

可以看到停在bionic的fork中了，具体函数是: cpuacct_add(getuid()); 中的fprintf。错误原因从bt上看得到，又是锁的问题。

这个问题找到原因后，解决方法倒是没有花什么精力，直接google一下，问题和解决方法都出来了:

This issue has also been found on ICS. cpuacct_add should not be doing anything that calls malloc() or free(). Proposed fixes are here:

现在越来越多的apk，会偷偷的fork进程，执行系统中的命令或dump调试信息，甚至如skype，会一下fork很多自己写的native服务，看着总归不是很爽
