Chapter 6
Processes, Threads, and Jobs
In this chapter, we’ll explain the data structures and algorithms that deal with processes,
threads, and jobs in Microsoft Windows.
在这一章，我们将解释

The first section focuses on the internal structures
that make up a process. The second section outlines the steps involved in creating a process
(and its initial thread).

Where relevant performance counters or kernel variables exist, they are mentioned. Although
this book isn’t a Windows programming book, the pertinent process, thread, and job Win-
dows functions are listed so that you can pursue additional information on their use.

Because processes and threads touch so many components in Windows, a number of terms
and data structures (such as working sets, objects and handles, system memory heaps, and so
on) are referred to in this chapter but are explained in detail elsewhere in the book.
To fully understand this chapter, you need to be familiar with the terms and concepts explained in
chapters 1 and 2, such as the difference between a process and a thread, the Windows virtual
address space layout, and the difference between user mode and kernel mode.
Process Internals
This section describes the key Windows process data structures. Also listed are key kernel
variables, performance counters, and functions and tools that relate to processes.
Data Structures Each Windows process is represented by an executive process (EPROCESS) block. Besides containing many attributes relating to a process, an EPROCESS block contains and points to a number of other related data structures. For example, each process has one or more threads represented by executive thread (ETHREAD) blocks. (Thread data structures are explained in the section “Thread Internals” later in this chapter.) The EPROCESS block and its related data structures exist in system space, with the exception of the process environment block (PEB), which exists in the process address space (because it contains information that is modified by user-mode code).
