     *   NOTE!!   For any other task 'pause()' would mean we have to get a
     * signal to awaken, but task0 is the sole exception (see 'schedule()')
     * as task 0 gets activated at every idle moment (when no other tasks
     * can run). For task0 'pause()' just means we go check if some other
     * task can run, and if not we return here.

    for(;;) pause();   
    
    
    Task 0 is idle process.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    The schedule( ) Function

    schedule( ) implements the scheduler. Its objective is to find a process in the runqueue list and then assign the CPU to it. It is invoked, directly or in a lazy way, by several kernel routines.

This contains the code for Linux Kernel 0.01 !

My previous post contains the release notes by Linus.

I'm going through the source code explanation at
