进程描述符task_struct
进程描述符（struct task_struct）
task_struct称为进程描述符结构，该结构定义在
进程描述符中包含的数据能完整地描述一个正在执行的程序：它打开的文件，进程的地址空间，挂起的信号，进程的状态等

pid与tgid
tgid全名thread group ID,一个内部有多线程的进程,进程中每个线程的id都不一样,但是对外表现出同一个进程整体
struct task_struct{
pid_t pid;//进程的唯一标识
pid_t tgid;// 线程组的领头线程的pid成员的值
};
进程id编号分配规则
Linux 内核限制进程号需小于等于 32767。新进程创建时，内核会按顺序将下一个可用的进程号分配给其使用。每当进程号达到 32767 的限制时，内核将重置进程号计数器，以便从小整数开始分配。
一旦进程号达到 32767，会将进程号计数器重置为 300，而不是 1。之所以如此，是因为低数值的进程号为系统进程和守护进程所长期占用，在此范围内搜索尚未使用的进程号只会是浪费时间。
内存管理mm_struct
struct task_struct{
struct mm_struct* mm;
}
每个进程都有自己独立的虚拟地址空间,使用mm_struct结构体来管理内存,这里的mm指针指向了mm_struct结构体,包含了内存资源的页表,内存映射等
struct mm_struct{
struct vm_area_struct* mmap;
struct re_root mm_rb;
//...
pgd_t* pgd;
}
进程与文件,文件系统
task_struct与文件相关的字段最常用的下面这两个
struct task_struct{
//文件系统的信息的指针,包含了进程运行的目录信息
struct fs_struct* fs;
//打开的文件描述符资源表
struct files_struct* files;
}
进程,线程创建的本质
fork()和pthread_create()函数最后都会进入clone()系统调用
clone函数原型
- fn:表示clone生成的子进程的起始调用函数,参数由第四个参数arg指定
- stack:表示生成的子进程的栈空间
- flags:关键参数,用于区分生成的子进程与父进程如何共享资源(内存,打开文件描述符等)
- 剩下的参数与线程实现有关
int clone(int (*fn)(void *),
void *stack,
int flags,
void *arg, ...
/* pid_t *parent_tid, void *tls, pid_t *child_tid */ );
线程创建的实现pthread_create()
#include 此时clone系统调用的flags=CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_THREAD | …
| 标志 | 含义 |
|---|---|
| CLONE_VM | 共享虚拟内存 |
| CLONE_FS | 共享文件与系统相关的属性 |
| CLONE_FILES | 共享打开的文件描述符 |
| CLONE_SIGHAND | 共享对信号的处置 |
| CLONE_THREAD | 置于父进程所属的线程组中 |
进程创建的实现fork()
#include 此时clone系统调用的flags=CLONE_SIGCHLD | …
本质:不共享资源,使用cow,任何一个修改都会造成分裂
| 标志 | 含义 |
|---|---|
| CLONE_SIGCHLD | 接收子进程退出的信号 |
总结
- fork()和pthread_create()创建进程或者线程都会调用clone()系统调用
- pthread_create()调用clone()时传入的flags参数会设置共享虚拟内存,共享文件与系统相关的属性,共享打开的文件描述符,共享对信号的处置,置于父进程所属的线程组中
- fork()调用clone()时传入的flags参数只会设置接收子进程退出的信号
- 在内核态中没有进程和线程的概念,内核不会区分进程和线程的操作
