dear sir,
i am actually trying to create a thread directory in
which files will be created by the name of the thread
id
which will contain the basic information about the
thread
(similar to process concept of kernel)
but i want to the detail steps about how the kernel
implements its process information inside
the proc file so that i can do it similar kind in case
of creating for the threads.
the first basic problem is the
according to me the
1.the actual processes are creting in the do_fork
function and from there the
information is passed to the fs/proc in the
functions present in the generic and base.c
am i currect or the fs/proc is collecting the data
from the current
but in this case i was applying a shortcuts as i was
waiting for any proc file in the kernel to be written
during startup and the setting a global variable in
fs/proc/base.c after that in the
do_fork the function waits for the global variable
to be turned on and after that calls anather function
which creates proc files through the use of
create_proc_entry.
but during startup the following errors are coming
"

2.if i am in a wrong way i could do the implementation
in the following manner in which the
kernel implements the proc system of its process
part.
but i am really confused about that one .i need some
kind of help in that case
is it necessary to do all the details implementation
like inode creating which are all being done
in the generic and base.c or i can simply bypass
them with create_proc_entry
what should i do
suggest me some architecture to implement the thread
proc system
i can a way out
and i cant able to understand where i am wrong
thanks in advance
