深入理解linux white函数,Linux的汇编疑惑

5# deepwhite

我看的是深入理解Linux内核，然后在看Linux内核设计和实现里，有相似的表述，应该不会错吧！深入理解lLinux内核里是这么说的:

Figure 3-2 shows how the two data structures are stored in the 2-page (8 KB) memory area. The thread_info structure resides at the beginning of the memory area, and the stack grows downward from the end. The figure also shows that the tHRead_info structure and the task_struct structure are mutually linked by means of the fields task and tHRead_info, respectively.

……

The close association between the thread_info structure and the Kernel Mode stack just described offers a key benefit in terms of efficiency: the kernel can easily obtain the address of the thread_info structure of the process currently running on a CPU from the value of the esp register. In fact, if the thread_union structure is 8 KB (213 bytes) long, the kernel masks out the 13 least significant bits of esp to obtain the base address of the thread_info structure; on the other hand, if the thread_union structure is 4 KB long, the kernel masks out the 12 least significant bits of esp. This is done by the current_thread_info( ) function, which produces assembly language instructions like the following:

movl $0xffffe000,%ecx /* or 0xfffff000 for 4KB stacks */

andl %esp,%ecx

movl %ecx,p

After executing these three instructions, p contains the tHRead_info structure pointer of the process running on the CPU that executes the instruction.

这里面esp寄存器是存放着栈指针的，以那图做例子：在那图中的栈指针的位置是0x015fa878,而thread-info的位置是在于0x015fa000，它通过那段汇编指令，也就是0x015fa878减去0x00002000，得到的是0x015f8878啊，怎么都不可能是0x015fa000啊？所以我就疑惑嘛
