结合fork.c文件分析进程创建的过程

本文为作业任务,只做浅显的分析,为大家提供一个分析的思路,很多细节都没有展示。如果想要更详细的分析请去搜索相关函数代码,博客园内有许多有用的信息供大家学习。

 

int nr_threads; int nr_running;  int max_threads; unsigned long total_forks;    /* Handle normal Linux uptimes. */ int last_pid;  struct task_struct *pidhash[PIDHASH_SZ];

 

文件开头定义了线程数量,进程数量,最大线程数,创建的进程总个数,最新的pid号以及存放pid号的哈希表。

void add_wait_queue(wait_queue_head_t *q, wait_queue_t * wait) {     unsigned long flags;      wq_write_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);     wait->flags = 0;     __add_wait_queue(q, wait);     wq_write_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags); } void add_wait_queue_exclusive(wait_queue_head_t *q, wait_queue_t * wait) { unsigned long flags;  wq_write_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags); wait->flags = WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE; __add_wait_queue_tail(q, wait); wq_write_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags); } void remove_wait_queue(wait_queue_head_t *q, wait_queue_t * wait) {     unsigned long flags;      wq_write_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);     __remove_wait_queue(q, wait);     wq_write_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags); }

 

这部分代码与进程的等待队列有关。Linux内核的等待队列是以双循环链表为基础数据结构,与进程调度机制紧密结合,能够用于实现核心的异步事件通知机制。等待队列在include/linux/wait.h中,这是一个通过list_head连接的典型双循环链表,在这个链表中,有两种数据结构:等待队列头(wait_queue_head_t)和等待队列项(wait_queue_t)。等待队列头和等待队列项中都包含一个list_head类型的域作为"连接件"。由于我们只需要对队列进行添加和删除操作,并不会修改其中的对象(等待队列项),因此,我们只需要提供一把保护整个基础设施和所有对象的锁,这把锁保存在等待队列头中,为wq_lock_t类型。在实现中,可以支持读写锁(rwlock)或自旋锁(spinlock)两种类型,通过一个宏定义来切换。如果使用读写锁,将wq_lock_t定义为rwlock_t类型;如果是自旋锁,将wq_lock_t定义为spinlock_t类型。无论哪种情况,分别相应设置wq_read_lock、wq_read_unlock、wq_read_lock_irqsave、wq_read_unlock_irqrestore、wq_write_lock_irq、wq_write_unlock、wq_write_lock_irqsave和wq_write_unlock_irqrestore等宏。在__wait_queue 中定义的WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE表示节点对应的进程对临界资源具有排他性。remove_wait_queue函数用于将等待队列项wait从以q为等待队列头的等待队列中移除

 

void __init fork_init(unsigned long mempages)  {      /*       * The default maximum number of threads is set to a safe       * value: the thread structures can take up at most half       * of memory.       */      max_threads = mempages / (THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE) / 2;         init_task.rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_cur = max_threads/2;      init_task.rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_max = max_threads/2;  }

 

 

如注释所说,默认的最大线程数被设置为一个安全值:线程结构最多可以占用一半的内存。__init在include/linux/wait.h中,作用为将带有__init标识符的函数划分到.init.text段中,此段只在启动时做一次初始化载入。

/* Protects next_safe and last_pid. */  spinlock_t lastpid_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;     static int get_pid(unsigned long flags)  {      static int next_safe = PID_MAX;      struct task_struct *p;         if (flags & CLONE_PID)          return current->pid;         spin_lock(&lastpid_lock);      if((++last_pid) & 0xffff8000) {          last_pid = 300;      /* Skip daemons etc. */          goto inside;      }      if(last_pid >= next_safe) {  inside:          next_safe = PID_MAX;          read_lock(&tasklist_lock);      repeat:          for_each_task(p) {              if(p->pid == last_pid ||                 p->pgrp == last_pid ||                 p->session == last_pid) {                  if(++last_pid >= next_safe) {                      if(last_pid & 0xffff8000)                          last_pid = 300;                      next_safe = PID_MAX;                  }                  goto repeat;              }              if(p->pid > last_pid && next_safe > p->pid)                  next_safe = p->pid;              if(p->pgrp > last_pid && next_safe > p->pgrp)                  next_safe = p->pgrp;              if(p->session > last_pid && next_safe > p->session)                  next_safe = p->session;          }          read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);      }      spin_unlock(&lastpid_lock);         return last_pid;  }

 

这部分代码用来给进程分配pid,对get_pid函数添加自旋锁保证函数的运行,对tasklist_lock添加读锁,确保pid数据安全。last_pid用于记录上一次分配给进程时的pid值。分配的pid一般而言是last_pid+1,如果超出进程个数的最大值(0xffff8000),那么进程pid值从300开始重新查找未用的。也就是说,一般用户进程的pid值范围[300,ffff8000]。(0~299,留给系统)。变量next_safe的含义是,在[last_pid,next_safe]之间,都是没有使用过的pid,一旦last_pid+1大于了next_safe,也就是说pid值进入了不可靠空间,有可能这个值被使用,这时需要遍历task来确认。这样遍历task找到一个没有用过的pid,同时确定next_safe,以保证next_safe到last_pid的区间中pid是空闲的,这样只要再次分配pid时,其值小于next_safe就可以直接分配,而不需要遍历task来查找空闲的pid。

这部分代码为内存管理部分,代码中的注释向我们大致说明了本段代码的功能。

Linux内核通过一个被称为进程描述符的task_struct结构体来管理进程,这个结构体包含了一个进程所需的所有信息。它定义在include/linux/sched.h文件中。每一个进程都会有自己独立的mm_struct,这样每一个进程都会有自己独立的地址空间,这样才能互不干扰。在地址空间中,mmap为地址空间的内存区域(用vm_area_struct结构来表示)链表,表示起来更加方便。mm_struct的结构描述了进程的用户空间的结构,定义了用户空间的段分布:数据段,代码段,堆栈段。其中pgd_t是该进程用户空间地址映射到物理地址时使用vm_area_struct是进程用户空间已映射到物理空间的虚拟地址区间,定义在/include/linux/mm.h。mmap是该空间区块组成的链表。vm_flag是描述对虚拟区间的操作的标志。

父进程中在调用fork()派生新进程,实际上相当于创建了进程的一个拷贝;复制出来的子进程有自己的 task_struct结构和系统空间堆栈,但与父进程共享其他所有的资源。Linux为此提供了两个系统调用,一个是fork(),另一个是clone()。我们现在主要讨论fork()。fork()是全部复制,父进程所需的资源全部通过数据结构的复制传递给子进程,而完成这一操作的函数定义就是上方所写的代码段。调用fork时,内核会在copy_mm函数中处理子进程的mm_struct,在copy_files函数中处理拷贝父进程打开的文件的相关事宜,在copy_fs中记录进程所在文件系统的根目录和当前目录信息, copy_sighand中复制进程对信号的处理方式。

/*   *  Ok, this is the main fork-routine. It copies the system process   * information (task[nr]) and sets up the necessary registers. It also   * copies the data segment in its entirety.

如开头注释第一句所说,这部分代码是fork.c中最主要的函数。

do_fork首先进行一些参数及权限的检查,仅允许从线程启动。之后进行内存的分配,复制父进程的task_struct。判断进程数量,将从父进程中继承的task_struct初始化,获取新的pid,分配CPU,解锁后设定运行时间。将子进程的pid放入pidhash表中,就可以唤醒子进程了。代码中间部分有设置进程判断,若发现非法进程会直接清理掉。清理函数在代码尾部定义。

最后这部分代码作用是处理进程的缓存,为proc文件系统创建高速缓冲。

 

 

从文件开头的宏定义,到等待队列的处理,到线程数的安全处理,到pid的分配,到进程的内存管理,到父进程复制出子进程。fork()函数中对进程的创建大致是以上步骤。主要在于copy部分对task_struct复制和复制后的初始化。
