本部分介绍 Linux 进程相关的一些概念。

什么是进程

一个执行中的程序的实例叫做进程。一个进程包括:

  • 一个分配了内存的地址空间

  • 所有权认证、优先级等安全属性

  • 一个或多个线程

  • 进程的状态

进程的环境包括:

  • 本地和全局变量

  • 当前调度上下文

  • 分配的系统资源,如文件描述符、网络端口等

PID & PPID

Linux 进程一般有一个 PID 和 PPID(父进程 PID),运行如下代码端输出 PID 和 PPID:

pid-ppid.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
  printf("The process ID is %d\n", (int) getpid ());
  printf("The parent process ID is %d\n", (int) getppid ());
  return 0;
}

下载 pid-ppid.c

父进程、子进程、僵尸进程

使用如下代码描述上图:

fork-exec.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main ()
{
  pid_t child_pid;
  char* program = "pwd";
  char* arg_list[] = {"pwd", NULL};

  /* Create a child process. */
  child_pid = fork ();
  printf("The fork return is %5d, PID is %5d, PPID is %5d\n", child_pid, getpid(), getppid());

  if (child_pid > 0) {
    /* This is the parent process. Sleep for a minute. */
    sleep (60);
  } else {
    /* This is the child process. Exit immediately. */
    execvp (program, arg_list);
    exit (0);
  }

  return 0;
}
  • fork 可以产生一个子进程,且子进程继承父进程一切

  • exit 进程推出

  • sleep 进程休眠

  • Linux 上所有进程都可以创建一个子进程,RHEL 7 中的所有进程都是 systemd 的子进程

  • 一般子进程退出,父进程会调运一个 wait 方法结束子进程,如果没有则,子进程变成僵尸进程

上述程序运行可能输出

# ./fork-exec
The fork return is 17535, PID is 17534, PPID is 13888
The fork return is     0, PID is 17535, PPID is 17534
/root/work

查看进程状态

# ps -e -o pid,ppid,stat,cmd
...
7534 13888 S+   ./fork-exec
17535 17534 Z+   [pwd] <defunct>

可以看到父进程 17534 创建了子进程 17535,子进程 fork 返回为 0,状态为 Z,即为僵尸进程。

下载 fork-exec.c

进程状态

Linux 中任意一个时间点上一个 CPU 只能处理一个进程,当进程被安排执行,它立即需要获取 CPU 时间以及资源分配的更新。下图为进程状态变化:

Table 1. Flag 及 kernel 中定义
FlagKernel 定义的状态名称描述

R

TASK_RUNNING

The process is either executing on a CPU or waiting to run. Process can be executing user routines or kernel routines (system calls), or be queued and ready when in the Running (or Runnable) state.

S

TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE

The process is waiting for some condition: a hardware request, system resource access, or signal. When an event or signal satisfies the condition, the process returns to Running.

D

TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

This process is also Sleeping, but unlike S state, will not respond to delivered signals. Used only under specific conditions in which process interruption may cause an unpredictable device state.

K

TASK_KILLABLE

Identical to the uninterruptible D state, but modified to allow the waiting task to respond to a signal to be killed (exited completely). Utilities frequently display Killable processes as D state.

T

TASK_STOPPED

The process has been Stopped (suspended), usually by being signaled by a user or another process. The process can be continued (resumed) by another signal to return to Running.

T

TASK_TRACED

A process that is being debugged is also temporarily Stopped and shares the same T state flag.

Z

EXIT_ZOMBIE

A child process signals its parent as it exits. All resources except for the process identity (PID) are released.

X

EXIT_DEAD

When the parent cleans up (reaps) the remaining child process structure, the process is now released completely. This state will never be observed in process-listing utilities.
