程序和進程:
程序是存放在磁盤上的一系列代碼和數據的可執行鏡像,是一個靜態的實體;
進程是一個執行的程序,它是動態的實體,它除了包含指令段,數據段等靜態數據外(數據是可以是動態變化的),還包括當前的狀態信息,如臨時數據堆棧信息,當前處理器的寄存器信息等動態信息。這些動態信息通常稱爲進程上下文。
從內核角度來看,進程是操作系統分配內存,cpu時間片等資源的最小單位。其中它用到的數據和信息大部分都是在動態變化的。在linux內核中進程上下文通常用task_struct來描述,進程切換負責保存當前進程的上下文,恢復合適進程的上下文到cpu和寄存器中。
進程和線程:
隨着計算機產業的發展,計算機的應用範圍越來越廣,計算機要解決的範圍從處理器密集型的科學計算向IO密集型的用戶交互式程序。爲了解決日益複雜的問題。人們提出了分而治之(divide and comquer)的思想,也就是提出了進程。隨着計算機的發展和對此技術的研究,人們發現,進程間的切換帶來了相當大的系統開銷(overload),人們又提出了線程的概念。線程是對進程的進一步抽象。一個進程有兩部分組成:線程集合和資源集合。線程是進程中的一個動態對象,一組動態的指令流。進程中的所有線程將共享進程的中的資源,但每個線程又有獨立的程序計數器,堆棧和寄存器。
linux中線程、進程都是用struct task_struct來描述。進程描述符task_struct用來刻畫進程的狀態屬性,是內核操作和維護進程狀態的唯一手段,其定義在linux 2.6.xx/include/linux/sched.h中。這個結構體相當的大
