Dear all,

i installed linux on my laptop few days ago, i have some questions that id appreciate if you gave me the asnwers 2 and make things clear 2 me .

my first questions is : what source files implement the creation of new processes?

second: What are the valid states of processes and threads in Linux?
and finally What are the kernel data structures for representing processes and threads?
thank you so much in advance

If you have kernel source, look in promising folders. There isnt great documentation on where to find things, I dont think.
There are daemons (background tasks), active, dead, zombie (killed but still active), and paused processes (thread-types, I guess).

And I have no clue what a data structure is.
Good luck
