Message-ID: <MDEHLPKNGKAHNMBLJOLKCEOCFDAC.davids@webmaster.com> Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:27:31 -0700 From: "David Schwartz" <davids@...master.com> To: "LKML" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: RE: NPTL > Hi! > I have a question about NPTL. > Are NPTL are still based on `clone` system call? Yes. > Are NPTL threads are > "processes" internally? No. By definition, all the threads belong to a single process. NPTL threads are based on KSEs (kernel scheduling entities). A non-threaded process is also a KSE. A threaded process is more than one KSEs. All KSE are, obviously, scheduled by the kernel. > Thanks! You're welcome.
