linux内核学习——进程管理

进程就是处于执行期的程序。包括可执行代码和其他资源，如：打开的文件，挂起的信号，内核内部数据，处理器状态，内存映射空间和一个或多个执行线程等。

进程描述符

内核把进程的列表存放在叫做任务队列的双向链表中，链表中的每一项都是类型为task_struct（进程描述符）的结构，该结构定义在<linux/sched.h>文件中。进程描述符包含一个进程的所有信息。其内核定义如下：

进程状态

linux中的进程状态：

• 运行状态（TASK_RUNNING）

指正在被CPU运行或者就绪的状态。这样的进程被成为runnning进程。运行态的进程可以分为3种情况：内核运行态、用户运行态、就绪态。

• 可中断睡眠状态（TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE）

处于等待状态中的进程，一旦被该进程等待的资源被释放，那么该进程就会进入运行状态。

• 不可中断睡眠状态（TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE）

该状态的进程只能用wake_up()函数唤醒。

• 暂停状态（TASK_STOPPED）

当进程收到信号SIGSTOP、SIGTSTP、SIGTTIN或SIGTTOU时就会进入暂停状态。可向其发送SIGCONT信号让进程转换到可运行状态。

• 僵死状态（TASK_ZOMBIE）

当进程已经终止运行，但是父进程还没有询问其状态的情况。

注意：

只有当进程从“内核运行态”转移到“睡眠状态”时，内核才会进行进程切换操作。在内核态下运行的进程不能被其它进程抢占，而且一个进程不能改变另一个进程的状态。为了避免进程切换时造成内核数据错误，内核在执行临界区代码时会禁止一切中断。

进程创建

unix进程创建分为两步，由两个不同的函数去完成，fork() 和 exec()。fork()通过拷贝当前进程来创建一个子进程，exec()函数则负责读取可执行文件并将其载入地址空间开始运行。

由于unix强调进程快速执行的能力，所以linux的fork()使用写实拷贝（copy-on-write）页实现。fork()的实际开销就是复制父进程的页表以及给子进程创建唯一的进程描述符，此时内核并不复制整个进程空间，而是让子进程和父进程共享父进程的资源。只有在需要写入的时候，数据才会复制，从而使各个进程拥有各自一份拷贝。这种优化对于fork()之后立即调用exec()的情况来说是很重要的，减少了数据拷贝带来的开销。

linux通过clone()系统调用来实现fork()等进程创建。fork()、vfork()和__clone()库函数都是根据各自需要的标志参数（后面有标志参数表）去调用clone()，clone()调用do_fork()。do_fork()完成了进程创建的大部分工作，它在kernel/fork.c文件中定义。do_fork()调用copy_process()函数(内核2.4.1版本里没有这个函数，直接在do_fork()函数中完成。内核2.6要比2.4复杂很多)，然后让进程开始运行。

几种不同方式创建进程中对clone的调用：

fork()：

clone（SIGCHLD，0）

vfork()：

clone（CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD，0）

线程创建：

clone（CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND，0）

linux中线程又称为“轻量级进程”，线程仅仅被视为一个与其他线程共享某些资源的进程。每个线程都有唯一隶属于自己的task_struct，每个线程都被内核视为进程来进行调度。

do_fork()和copy_process()在内核中定义：

/*
 *  Ok, this is the main fork-routine.
 *
 * It copies the process, and if successful kick-starts
 * it and waits for it to finish using the VM if required.

进程退出

进程退出的方式有很多（UNIX环境高级编程中总结了8种），但最后答案都要靠do_exit()来完成。do_exit()在内核中定义：

void do_exit(long code)
{
	struct task_struct *tsk = current;
	int group_dead;

	profile_task_exit(tsk);

	WARN_ON(atomic_read(&tsk->fs_excl));

	if (unlikely(in_interrupt()))
		panic("Aiee, killing interrupt handler!");
	if (unlikely(!tsk->pid))
		panic("Attempted to kill the idle task!");

	/*
	 * If do_exit is called because this processes oopsed, it's possible
	 * that get_fs() was left as KERNEL_DS, so reset it to USER_DS before
	 * continuing. Amongst other possible reasons, this is to prevent
	 * mm_release()->clear_child_tid() from writing to a user-controlled
	 * kernel address.
	 */
	set_fs(USER_DS);

	tracehook_report_exit(&code);

	validate_creds_for_do_exit(tsk);

	/*
	 * We're taking recursive faults here in do_exit. Safest is to just
	 * leave this task alone and wait for reboot.
	 */
	if (unlikely(tsk->flags & PF_EXITING)) {
		printk(KERN_ALERT
			"Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!\n");
		/*
		 * We can do this unlocked here. The futex code uses
		 * this flag just to verify whether the pi state
		 * cleanup has been done or not. In the worst case it
		 * loops once more. We pretend that the cleanup was
		 * done as there is no way to return. Either the
		 * OWNER_DIED bit is set by now or we push the blocked
		 * task into the wait for ever nirwana as well.

	 * tsk->flags are checked in the futex code to protect against
	 * an exiting task cleaning up the robust pi futexes.
	 */
	smp_mb();
	spin_unlock_wait(&tsk->pi_lock);

	if (unlikely(in_atomic()))
		printk(KERN_INFO "note: %s[%d] exited with preempt_count %d\n",
				current->comm, task_pid_nr(current),

	taskstats_exit(tsk, group_dead);

	exit_mm(tsk);

	if (group_dead)
		acct_process();
	trace_sched_process_exit(tsk);

	exit_sem(tsk);
	exit_files(tsk);
	exit_fs(tsk);
	check_stack_usage();
	exit_thread();
	cgroup_exit(tsk, 1);

	if (group_dead && tsk->signal->leader)

	if (tsk->io_context)

	if (tsk->splice_pipe)
