Are [kthreadd] and [rcu_gp] commands?

I want to learn from the output from command ps



usr@host:~$ ps -ef | head -5 
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 1 0 0 16:43 ? 00:00:04 /sbin/init splash
root 2 0 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 [kthreadd]
root 3 2 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 [rcu_gp]
root 4 2 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 [rcu_par_gp]


/sbin/init is not hard to follow, utility init start a big bang to splash elements, it is a command.



when it comes to [kthreadd], [rcu_gp], I do not find such utilities or command from the entire file system.



Are they commands?

  • I believe those are bits inside the Linux Kernel, and not utilities or commands that are executed in userspace.

  • They are kernel processes, this would help: stackoverflow.com/questions/17988526 Or this unix.stackexchange.com/questions/83322
