Merge "Remove hardcoded requires from the ART APEX default namespace." am: 15f6f99ccc am: a01abc17c5 am: 52064d10a6 Original change: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/system/linkerconfig/+/1674518 Change-Id: Id810c974934a9c850c927e5aa3ceb619da962316
Linkerconfig is a program to generate linker configuration based on the runtime environment. Linkerconfig generates one or more ld.config.txt files and some other files under /linkerconfig during init. Linker will read this generated configuration file(s) to find out link relationship between libraries and executable.
TODO: explain inputs (e.g. /system/etc/public.libraries.txt, /apex/apex-info-list.xml, ..)
Linker configuration file can be used to add extra information while linkerconfig creates linker configuration with the module. This module can be defined as 'linker_config' from Soong, and it will be translated as protobuf file at build time.
linker.config.json file is in json format which can contain properties as below.
Property Name | Type | Description | Allowed module |
---|---|---|---|
permittedPaths | List | Additional permitted paths | APEX |
visible | bool | Force APEX namespace to be visible from all sections if the value is true | APEX |
provideLibs | List | Libraries providing from the module | System |
requireLibs | List | Libraries required from the module | System |
{ "permittedPaths" : [ "/a", "/b/c", "/d/e/f"], "visible": true }
{ "provideLibs" : [ "a.so", "b.so", "c.so" ], "requireLibs" : [ "foo.so", "bar.so", "baz.so" ] }
TODO: a few words about the files
Check ld.config.format.md.
The file describes libraries exposed from APEXes. libnativeloader is the main consumer of this file.
# comment line jni com_android_foo libfoo_jni.so public com_android_bar libbar.so:libbaz.so
The file is line-based and each line consists of tag apex_namespace library_list
.
tag
explains what library_list
is.apex_namespace
is the namespace of the apex. Note that it is mangled like com_android_foo
for the APEX("com.android.foo").library_list
is colon-separated list of library names.tag
is jni
, library_list
is the list of JNI libraries exposed by apex_namespace
.tag
is public
, library_list
is the list of public libraries exposed by apex_namespace
. Here, public libraries are the libs listed in /system/etc/public.libraries.txt.
