这篇是网易云课堂《Linux内核分析》这门课的作业
Linux提供了三个系统调用创建进程,v_fork, fork和clone。fork是将父进程的所有资源都复制给了子进程,所以不带参数。而clone是将指定资源复制给子进程,所以带参数。不论哪种方式最终都要调用do_fork。
long do_fork(unsigned long clone_flags,
unsigned long stack_start,
unsigned long stack_size,
int __user *parent_tidptr,
int __user *child_tidptr)
{
struct task_struct *p;
int trace = 0;
long nr;
/*
* Determine whether and which event to report to ptracer. When
* called from kernel_thread or CLONE_UNTRACED is explicitly
* requested, no event is reported; otherwise, report if the event
* for the type of forking is enabled.
*/
if (!(clone_flags & CLONE_UNTRACED)) {
if (clone_flags & CLONE_VFORK)
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK;
else if ((clone_flags & CSIGNAL) != SIGCHLD)
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE;
else
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_FORK;
if (likely(!ptrace_event_enabled(current, trace)))
trace = 0;
}
p = copy_process(clone_flags, stack_start, stack_size,
child_tidptr, NULL, trace); //创建子进程的描述符,并创建子进程执行时所需的其他数据结构
/*
* Do this prior waking up the new thread - the thread pointer
* might get invalid after that point, if the thread exits quickly.
*/
if (!IS_ERR(p)) {
struct completion vfork;
struct pid *pid;
trace_sched_process_fork(current, p);
pid = get_task_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID); //取得子进程PID
nr = pid_vnr(pid);
if (clone_flags & CLONE_PARENT_SETTID)
put_user(nr, parent_tidptr);
if (clone_flags & CLONE_VFORK) {
p->vfork_done = &vfork;
init_completion(&vfork);
get_task_struct(p);
}

/* forking complete and child started to run, tell ptracer */

if (clone_flags & CLONE_VFORK) {
if (!wait_for_vfork_done(p, &vfork))

}
put_pid(pid);
} else {
nr = PTR_ERR(p); //如果copy_process出错,将错误码放到返回值中。
}
return nr; //成功的话父进程得到子进程PID
}
do_fork最关键的部分是调用了copy_process复制出一个子进程。复制出的子进程不会立即运行,要等待调度。
/*
* This creates a new process as a copy of the old one,
