In a single-threaded process, the pid in kernel task_struct is the same as the tgid, which can mark the process of page allocation. But in a multithreaded process, only the task_struct of the thread leader has the same pid as tgid, and the pids of other threads are different from tgid. Therefore, tgid is recorded to provide effective information for debugging and data statistics of multithreaded programs. This can also be achieved by observing the task name (executable file name) for a specific process. However, when the same program is started multiple times, the task name is the same and the tgid is different. Therefore, in the debugging of multi-threaded programs, combined with the task name and tgid, more accurate runtime information of a certain run of the program can be obtained.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
