Java中的线程和操作系统的线程是什么关系？

在java代码中启动一个线程
 new Thread(() -> System.out.println("start...")).start();
查看源码：

public synchronized void start() {
        /**
         * This method is not invoked for the main method thread or "system"
         * group threads created/set up by the VM. Any new functionality added
         * to this method in the future may have to also be added to the VM.
         *
         * A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW".
         */
        if (threadStatus != 0)
            throw new IllegalThreadStateException();

        /* Notify the group that this thread is about to be started
         * so that it can be added to the group's list of threads
         * and the group's unstarted count can be decremented. */
        group.add(this);

        boolean started = false;
        try {
            start0();
            started = true;
        } finally {
            try {
                if (!started) {
                    group.threadStartFailed(this);
                }
            } catch (Throwable ignore) {
                /* do nothing. If start0 threw a Throwable then
                  it will be passed up the call stack */
            }
        }
    }

    private native void start0();

可以看到start（）方法最核心的就是调用了一个start0方法，而start0方法又是一个native方法，故而如果要搞明白start0我们需要查看Hotspot的源码，我们做个大胆的猜测，java级别的线程其实就是操作系统级别的线程，也就是 start（）->start0（）->pthread_creat（）;

其中pthread_creat（）代表操作系统的函数
