How is a real time process defined ?
The term 'user process' is tautologic: Every 'process' is something
which runs a 'user-mode' (as opposed to 'kernel-mode') application.
What, then, is the difference between a process which is marked as such:
root 2 ... [kthreadd]
and one which is marked as such:
root 1 ... /sbin/init
Agreed, the first is usually termed a "kernel-thread", having no user-land address space and being able to access kernel data structures, but it is still a process, gets scheduled and may be interrupted/rescheduled.
