kernel_thread flags 参数

            kernel_thread()函数用于创建一个内核线程，该函数的原型如下：
pid_t kernel_thread(int (*fn)(void *), void *arg, unsigned long flags)
flags参数是什莫？
kernel_thread()这样调用do_fork()：
do_fork(flags|CLONE_VM|CLONE_UNTRACED, 0, &regs, 0, NULL, NULL);
这也是kernel_thread()唯一使用flags的地方，能够看出，无论怎样CLONE_VM|CLONE_UNTRACED两个flag都是要用到的。
察看CLONE_VM的定义能够发现：
/*
* cloning flags:
*/
#define CSIGNAL        0x000000ff    /* signal mask to be sent at exit */
#define CLONE_VM    0x00000100    /* set if VM shared between processes */
#define CLONE_FS    0x00000200    /* set if fs info shared between processes */
#define CLONE_FILES    0x00000400    /* set if open files shared between processes */
#define CLONE_SIGHAND    0x00000800    /* set if signal handlers and blocked signals shared */
#define CLONE_IDLETASK    0x00001000    /* set if new pid should be 0 (kernel only)*/
#define CLONE_PTRACE    0x00002000    /* set if we want to let tracing continue on the child too */
#define CLONE_VFORK    0x00004000    /* set if the parent wants the child to wake it up on mm_release */
#define CLONE_PARENT    0x00008000    /* set if we want to have the same parent as the cloner */
#define CLONE_THREAD    0x00010000    /* Same thread group? */
#define CLONE_NEWNS    0x00020000    /* New namespace group? */
#define CLONE_SYSVSEM    0x00040000    /* share system V SEM_UNDO semantics */
#define CLONE_SETTLS    0x00080000    /* create a new TLS for the child */
#define CLONE_PARENT_SETTID    0x00100000    /* set the TID in the parent */
#define CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID    0x00200000    /* clear the TID in the child */
#define CLONE_DETACHED        0x00400000    /* Unused, ignored */
#define CLONE_UNTRACED        0x00800000    /* set if the tracing process can’t force CLONE_PTRACE on this clone */
#define CLONE_CHILD_SETTID    0x01000000    /* set the TID in the child */
#define CLONE_STOPPED        0x02000000    /* Start in stopped state */
/*
* List of flags we want to share for kernel threads,
* if only because they are not used by them anyway.
*/
#define CLONE_KERNEL    (CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND)
内核线程常用的flags就是CLONE_KERNEL，为什莫这样？肯定更有很多具体的细节。
