fork vfork clone

vfork  共享内存描述符和所有的页表。fork除指定SIGCHLD信号以及所有清0的clone标志。

fork clone 都是c语言定义的一直封装函数，只有do_fork 才是内核态函数。

do_fork  copy_process 执行流程和调用关系总结。

do_fork->copy_process->

核心代码

static struct task_struct *copy_process(unsigned long clone_flags,
unsigned long stack_start,
struct pt_regs *regs,
unsigned long stack_size,
int __user *child_tidptr,
struct pid *pid,
int trace)
{

。。。。。。  以下函数需要在设置相应的CLONE_*标志才会被执行。

if ((retval = audit_alloc(p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_policy;
/* copy all the process information */
if ((retval = copy_semundo(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_audit;
if ((retval = copy_files(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_semundo;
if ((retval = copy_fs(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_files;
if ((retval = copy_sighand(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_fs;
if ((retval = copy_signal(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_sighand;
if ((retval = copy_mm(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_signal;
if ((retval = copy_namespaces(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_mm;
if ((retval = copy_io(clone_flags, p)))
goto bad_fork_cleanup_namespaces;
retval = copy_thread(clone_flags, stack_start, stack_size, p, regs);
if (retval)
goto bad_fork_cleanup_io;

。。。。。。

}

return do_fork(SIGCHLD, regs->gpr[1], regs, 0, NULL, NULL);
}

}
