进程之task_struct

进程

可以把进程当成一组元素组成的实体，进程的两个基本元素程序代码和与代码相关的数据集。假设处理器开始执行这个程序代码，且我们把这个执行实体称为进程。那么，在程序执行时，任意给定一个时间，进程都可以唯一的被表征为以下元素：

1、标识符：跟这个进程相关的唯一标识符，用来区别其他进程

2、状态：进程此时的状态

3、优先级：相对于其他进程的优先级

4、程序计数器：程序中即将被执行的下一跳指令的地址

5、内存指针：包括程序代码和进程进程相关数据的指针，以及和其他进程共享内存块的指针

6、上下文数据：进程执行时处理器中寄存器中的数据

7、i/o口状态信息：

8、记账信息

进程控制块 PCB

PCB是一种数据结构，这个数据结构用来存放进程的控制和管理信息

linux中定义一个PCB类型的结构体task_struct存放进程的相关信息；

那么在task_struct中具体存放哪些信息呢？

再centos6.5中，在其内核中可找到此结构体：

其在的目录为：

打开sched.h就可找到task_struct结构体所包含的内容：

struct task_struct {
    //进程状态（-1就绪态，0运行态，>0停止态）
    volatile long state;    /* -1 unrunnable, 0 runnable, >0 stopped */
