In general in Genode there is no notion of a thread id. Although some
kernels Genode runs on top of provide thread ids the framework tries to
abstract from these. Genode is a capability-based OS framework. That
means it tries to avoid system global names (like thread ids), and
provides local names (capabilities) instead that are in valid in a
corresponding protection-domain only. The idea behind that is: you can
only access what you can name.
With respect to threads, there are specific thread-capabilities which
belong to a corresponding cpu-session (the one the thread was created
by). Using the cpu-session you can do different things with a thread,
like stop/resume, getting it's state, destroying it etc.. For most
threads (by now the only exception is the first thread of a protection
domain) you can obtain it's thread-capability by using the appropriate
thread-object via 'Thread::myself()->cap()'.
I hope this clarifies your question. If for some reason you really need
the actual thread id of a specific kernel, would you please give some
more context about the actual use-case?
Best Regards
Stefan
