◆ idle() [2/2]

static void idle ( void *idle_started_  UNUSED)
static

Idle thread.

Executes when no other thread is ready to run.

The idle thread is initially put on the ready list by thread_start(). It will be scheduled once initially, at which point it initializes idle_thread, "up"s the semaphore passed to it to enable thread_start() to continue, and immediately blocks. After that, the idle thread never appears in the ready list. It is returned by next_thread_to_run() as a special case when the ready list is empty.

◆ is_thread()

static bool is_thread ( struct thread t)
static

Initializes the threading system by transforming the code that's currently running into a thread.

Returns true if T appears to point to a valid thread.

This can't work in general and it is possible in this case only because loader.S was careful to put the bottom of the stack at a page boundary.

Also initializes the run queue and the tid lock.

After calling this function, be sure to initialize the page allocator before trying to create any threads with thread_create().

It is not safe to call thread_current() until this function finishes.

◆ thread_create()

tid_t thread_create ( const char *  name,
int  priority,
thread_func function,
void *  aux 
)

Creates a new kernel thread named NAME with the given initial PRIORITY, which executes FUNCTION passing AUX as the argument, and adds it to the ready queue.

Returns the thread identifier for the new thread, or TID_ERROR if creation fails.

If thread_start() has been called, then the new thread may be scheduled before thread_create() returns. It could even exit before thread_create() returns. Contrariwise, the original thread may run for any amount of time before the new thread is scheduled. Use a semaphore or some other form of synchronization if you need to ensure ordering.

The code provided sets the new thread's ‘priority’ member to PRIORITY, but no actual priority scheduling is implemented. Priority scheduling is the goal of Problem 1-3.

◆ thread_schedule_tail()

void thread_schedule_tail ( struct thread prev)

Completes a thread switch by activating the new thread's page tables, and, if the previous thread is dying, destroying it.

At this function's invocation, we just switched from thread PREV, the new thread is already running, and interrupts are still disabled. This function is normally invoked by thread_schedule() as its final action before returning, but the first time a thread is scheduled it is called by switch_entry() (see switch.S).

It's not safe to call printf() until the thread switch is complete. In practice that means that printf()s should be added at the end of the function.

After this function and its caller returns, the thread switch is complete.
