回复 5# ggzwtj
对于linux而言,线程和进程的区别就是,多个线程共享 虚拟存储空间和信号处理 等等。进程之间需要切换虚拟地址空间,重新装载CR3,线程不需要。
这个过程需要的开销貌似不大:
static inline void switch_mm(struct mm_struct *prev, struct mm_struct *next,
struct task_struct *tsk)
{
unsigned cpu = smp_processor_id();
if (likely(prev != next)) {
/* stop flush ipis for the previous mm */
cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(prev));
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
percpu_write(cpu_tlbstate.state, TLBSTATE_OK);
percpu_write(cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, next);
#endif
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
/* Re-load page tables */
load_cr3(next->pgd);
/*
* load the LDT, if the LDT is different:
*/
if (unlikely(prev->context.ldt != next->context.ldt))
load_LDT_nolock(&next->context);
}
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
else {
percpu_write(cpu_tlbstate.state, TLBSTATE_OK);
BUG_ON(percpu_read(cpu_tlbstate.active_mm) != next);
if (!cpumask_test_and_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next))) {
/* We were in lazy tlb mode and leave_mm disabled
* tlb flush IPI delivery. We must reload CR3
* to make sure to use no freed page tables.
*/
load_cr3(next->pgd);
load_LDT_nolock(&next->context);
}
}
#endif
