Subject: [PATCH v2] fs/proc: add Kthread flag to /proc/$pid/status
Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2023 13:24:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230416052404.2920-1-fullspring2018@gmail.com> (raw)

The command `ps -ef ` and `top -c` mark kernel thread by '['
and ']', but sometimes the result is not correct.
The task->flags in /proc/$pid/stat is good, but we need remember
the value of PF_KTHREAD is 0x00200000 and convert dec to hex.
If we have no binary program and shell script which read
/proc/$pid/stat, we can know it directly by
`cat /proc/$pid/status`.
