Subject: whether the thread is implemented in the kernel ?

Hello all ,

I encountered a interesting problem , that is whether the thread
is implemented in the kernel ? if yes , then what is the system
call to generate a thread ? is it similar to fork() ?

thanks ...

happy new year !

clone(2), which is the exact same code path as fork().

For more information, see
man 2 clone
kernel/fork.c::do_fork()
