CURPROC(9) Kernel Developer's Manual CURPROC(9)

NAME

curproc, curcpu, curlwpcurrent process, processor, and LWP

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/proc.h>

struct cpu_info *
curcpu(void);

struct proc *
curproc(void);

struct lwp *
curlwp(void);

DESCRIPTION

The following macros can be used to retrieve the current processor, process, and light-weight process (LWP), respectively:
  1. The machine-dependent curcpu() macro returns a pointer to a cpu_info structure containing information of the CPU that this thread is running on.
  2. The machine-independent curproc() macro refers to a pointer to the process currently running on this CPU.
  3. The curlwp() macro expands to a pointer to lwp structure, containing information about the current LWP. This macro is machine-independent, but machine-dependent <machine/cpu.h> may redefine it.
