If a PSB address is specified, the above information is provided for that specific PSB only.
SDA determines the structures to be displayed according to either of the following methods:
When used with the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE qualifier, displays the PST for the specified process section.
The /SECTION_INDEX=n qualifier is ignored if neither the /PAGE_TABLES nor the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE qualifier is specified.
Options | Results |
---|---|
PPT | Displays process page table pages. |
PROCESS | Displays process private pages. |
LOCKED | Displays pages locked into the process's working set. |
GLOBAL | Displays global pages currently in the working set of the process. |
MODIFIED | Displays working set list entries marked modified. |
n | Displays a specific working set list entry, where n is the working set list index (WSLX) of the entry of interest. |
The SHOW PROCESS command displays information about the process specified by process-name, the process specified in the /INDEX qualifier, the system process, or all processes. The SHOW PROCESS command performs an implicit SET PROCESS command under certain uses of its qualifiers and parameters, as noted previously. By default, the SHOW PROCESS command produces information about the SDA current process, as defined in Section 2.5.The default of the SHOW PROCESS command provides information taken from the software process control block (PCB). This is the first display provided by the /ALL qualifier and the only display provided by the /PCB qualifier. This information describes the following characteristics of the process:
- Software context
- Condition-handling information
- Information on interprocess communication
- Information on counts, quotas, and resource usage
Among the displayed information are the process PID, EPID, priority, job information block (JIB) address, and process header (PHD) address. SHOW PROCESS also describes the resources owned by the process, such as event flags and mutexes. The "State" field records the process current scheduling state; in a multiprocessing system, the display indicates the CPU ID of any process whose state is CUR.
The SHOW PROCESS/ALL command displays additional process-specific information, also provided by several of the individual qualifiers to the command.
The process header display, also produced by the /PHD qualifier, provides information taken from the PHD, which is swapped into memory when the process becomes part of the balance set. Each item listed in the display reflects a quantity, count, or limit for the process use of the following resources:
- Process memory
- The pager
- The scheduler
- Asynchronous system traps
- I/O activity
- CPU activity
The process registers display, also produced by the /REGISTERS qualifier, describes the process hardware context, as reflected in its registers.
There are two places where a process hardware context is stored:
- If the process is currently executing on a processor in the Alpha system (that is, in the CUR scheduling state), its hardware context is contained in that processor's registers. (That is, the process registers and the processor's registers contain identical values, as illustrated by a SHOW CPU command for that processor or a SHOW CRASH command, if the process was current at the time of the system failure).
- If the process is not executing, its privileged hardware context is stored in the part of the PHD known as the HWPCB. Its integer register context is stored on its kernel stack. Its floating-point registers are stored in its PHD.
The process registers display first lists those registers stored in the HWPCB, kernel stack, and PHD ("Saved process registers"). If the process to be displayed is currently executing on a processor in the Alpha system, the display then lists the processor's registers ("Active registers for the current process"). In each section, the display lists the registers in the following groups:
- Integer registers (R0 through R29)
- Special-purpose registers (PC and PS)
- Stack pointers (KSP, ESP, SSP, and USP)
- Page table base register (PTBR)
- AST enable and summary registers (ASTEN and ASTSR)
- Address space number register (ASN)
The working set information and working set list displays, also produced by the /WORKING_SET_LIST qualifier, describe those virtual pages that the process can access without a page fault. After a brief description of the size, scope, and characteristics of the working set list itself, SDA displays information for each entry in the working set list as shown in Table 4-17.
Table 4-17 Working Set List Entry Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display Column Contents INDEX Index into the working set list at which information for this entry can be found ADDRESS Virtual address of the page that this entry describes STATUS Three columns that list the following status information:
- Page status of VALID
- Type of physical page (See Table 4-9)
- Indication of whether the page is locked into the working set
When SDA locates one or more unused working set entries, or entries that do not match the specified option, it issues the following message:
In this message, n is the number (in decimal) of contiguous entries not displayed.
--- n entries not displayedThe process section table information and process section table displays, also produced by the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE qualifier, list each entry in the process section table (PST) and display the offsets to, and the indexes of, the first free entry and last used entry.
SDA displays the information listed in Table 4-18 for each PST entry.
Table 4-18 Process Section Table Entry Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display Part Definition INDEX Index number of the entry. Entries in the process section table begin at the highest location in the table, and the table expands toward lower addresses. ADDRESS Address of the process section table entry. SECTION ADDRESS Virtual address that marks the beginning of the first page of the section described by this entry. PAGELETS Length of the process section. This is in units of pagelets, except for a PFN-mapped section in which the units are pages. WINDOW Address of the window control block on which the section file is open. VBN Virtual block number. The number of the file's virtual block that is mapped into the section's first page. CCB Address of the channel control block on which the section file is open. REFCNT Number of pages of this section that are currently mapped. FLINK Forward link. The pointer to the next entry in the PST list. BLINK Backward link. The pointer to the previous entry in the PST list. FLAGS Flags that describe the access that processes have to the process section. The P0 page table, P1 page table, and P2 page table displays, also produced by the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, display listings of the process page table entries in the same format as that produced by the SHOW PAGE_TABLE command (see Tables 4-5 through Table 4-10.)
The process active channels display, the last produced by SHOW PROCESS/ALL and the only one produced by the /CHANNEL qualifier, displays the following information for each I/O channel assigned to the process:
Column Contents Channel Number of the channel Window Address of the window control block (WCB) for the file if the device is a file-oriented device; zero otherwise Status Status of the device: "Busy" if the device has an I/O operation outstanding; blank otherwise Device/file accessed Name of the device and, if applicable, name of the file being accessed on that device The information listed under the heading "Device/file accessed" varies from channel to channel and from process to process. SDA displays certain information according to the conditions listed in Table 4-19.
Table 4-19 Process I/O Channel Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display Information Displayed1 Type of Process dcuu: SDA displays this information for devices that are not file structured, such as terminals, and for processes that do not open files in the normal way. dcuu: filespec SDA displays this information only if you are examining a running system, and only if your process has enough privilege to translate the file-id into the filespec. dcuu:( file-id) filespec SDA displays this information only when you are examining a dump. The filespec corresponds to the file-id on the device listed. If you are examining a dump from your own system, the filespec is probably valid. If you are examining a dump from another system, the filespec is probably meaningless in the context of your system. dcuu:( file-id) The file-id no longer points to a valid filespec, as when you look at a dump from another system; or the process in which you are running SDA does not have enough privilege to translate the file-id into the corresponding filespec. section file Indicates that the file in question is mapped into the processes' memory.
