在do_fork中调用了copy_process,该函数及其重要。该函数创建进程描述符和子进程需要的其他数据结构。它定义在linux2.6.xxx/kernel/fork.c。
只对关键部分进行了注释如下:
/*
* This creates a new process as a copy of the old one,
* but does not actually start it yet.
*
* It copies the registers, and all the appropriate
* parts of the process environment (as per the clone
* flags). The actual kick-off is left to the caller.
*/
/*这部分代码是在2.6.38中实现的*/

unsigned long stack_start,
struct pt_regs *regs,
unsigned long stack_size,
int __user *child_tidptr,
struct pid *pid,
int trace)
{
int retval;
struct task_struct *p;//保存新的进程描述符地址
