"The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating Systems" by Marshall Kirk McKusick and George V. Neville-Neil

Addison Wesley Professional, 2005, ISBN 0-201-70245-2.

Reading this book itself may be a major challenge.But, you really learn when you go through this process!

Page 18: ecs150 Fall 2006 : Operating System #1: OS Architecture, Kernel, & Process

09/29/2006 ecs150 Fall 2006 18

PrerequisitesPrerequisites

Programming Languages: C and assembly (ecs50)

Date Structure (ecs110) and basic Computer Architecture (ecs154a/eec70).

ecs40 Please talk to me if you have any concern.

OS Principles/ConceptsOS Principles/Concepts

What is “kernel”?What is the difference between a process and a thread?What is the difference between user-level and kernel-level threads?What is the difference between a system call and a library function call?What are SJF, RR, Lottery, LRU, TLB, Second Chance?How to do Mutual Exclusion?What is the difference between deadlock prevention and avoidance?What are the differences among hardware interrupt, hardware trap, and software trap?

Page 21: ecs150 Fall 2006 : Operating System #1: OS Architecture, Kernel, & Process

09/29/2006 ecs150 Fall 2006 21

OSOS

Let’s examine OS concepts in a realistic context: “FreeBSD”

Then, we can re-think those concepts….– And, maybe you will realize later that some of

the concepts are either “misleading” or “irrelevant” in certain context.

Page 22: ecs150 Fall 2006 : Operating System #1: OS Architecture, Kernel, & Process

09/29/2006 ecs150 Fall 2006 22

Principles vs. PracticePrinciples vs. Practice

Ideas and Theories first, then we will go over some FreeBSD code segments.

You will need to learn FreeBSD internals for programming assignments!!

The first few discussion sessions will be dedicated to FreeBSD internals.– Most of the discussion sessions are very important and

they will appear in the exams and homeworks.

System CallsSystem Calls

Not a “normal” procedure call

It is a software trap “into” the kernel– Hardware interrupt– Hardware trap– Software trap

Hardware interrupt– Asynchronous, might not relate to the context

of the executing process Hardware trap

– Related to the current executing process, e.g., divided by zero

Software-initiated trap– Instructions, int

Process and ThreadProcess and Thread(abstraction and abstraction)

An execution instance of a program. Threads and resources

– a thread is a control entity of the logical flow in the program.

– A sequential program needs only one single thread because it only need to be controlled by one entity.

– Can you distinguish a process and a thread?

User mode versus (trap into the) Kernel mode.

Asynchronous I/OAsynchronous I/O

How to deal with multiple I/O operations concurrently? For example: wait for a keyboard input, a mouse click and

input from a network connection.

Select system call

Poll system call (same idea, different implementation)

For more info see http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html

int select(int n, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout);

int poll(struct pollfd *ufds, unsigned int nfds, int timeout);

struct pollfd { int fd; /* file descriptor */ short events; /* requested events */ short revents; /* returned events */ };

User-level– Kernel is unaware of multiple threading within

the same process. (Conceptually, the kernel pretends one “kernel” thread per process.)

Kernel-level– Kernel is fully aware of multiple kernel threads

within the same process, and therefore, it will provide “related kernel services”.

Linux refers to them as tasks rather than threads.

Thread creation is done through clone() system call.

clone() allows a child task to share the address space of the parent task (process)

– kernel-support user-level threads What do we need in this “K/U

coordination”?– extended system call API

Is this only good for SMP?– How about single processor?– How about NPU? (e.g., IXP-2400)

Scheduler ActivationsScheduler Activations First proposed by [Anderson et al. 91] Idea: cooperation between schedulers should take place in

both directions User scheduler uses system calls Kernel scheduler should use upcalls!

Upcalls– Notify the user-level of kernel scheduling events

Activations– A new structure to support upcalls (~kernel thread)– As many running activations as processors– Kernel controls activation creation and destruction

of this KSE to the process, this KSE is “unassigned” as the kernel doesn’t know what other threads might be there!!

mailbox to handle/decide.
