  1. Operating Systems 2 - overview PIETER HARTEL

  2. Operating System • Resource manager • Hardware resources • Resources provided by the OS itself (which?) • Objectives • Convenience (why?) • Efficiency (why?) • Evolvability (why?) • Abstraction is the key to managing the complexity

  3. History • Batch • Time sharing • Real-time • Multi-processor • Distributed systems • Multi-core (why?) Electrologica X8 console, 1965

  4. Concepts and abstractions Concept • Processes & Threads • Memory management • Protection and security • Scheduling and resource management Abstraction of • Processor • Physical memory & disks • Dedicated computer • Dedicated computer

  5. Abstraction layers

  6. Linux example of the Unix API #include <stdio.h> int main(intargc, char *argv[]) { inti; for(i=0; I < argc; i++) { printf("%s ", argv[i]); } printf("(%d)\n", argc); return 0; } • Output? • gccEcho.c • ./a.out Hello world • strace ./a.out Hello World

  7. Process abstraction

  8. Resource sharing (why?) • Deadlock (why?) • Prevention • Detection • Recovery • Avoidance

  9. Process management • Scheduling • Timer • Threads (why?) Which process is running?

  10. Address space management • Output? • gccAddressSpace.c • ./a.out low extern char etext, edata, end; int a = 0xaaaa, b; intmain(intargc, char * argv[]) { int c = 0xcccc; int *d_ptr = (int*) malloc(sizeof(int)); int *e_ptr = (int*) alloca(sizeof(int)); b = 0xbbbb; *d_ptr = 0xdddd; *e_ptr = 0xeeee; printf("%p:a=%0x\n", &a, a); … } heap stack high

  11. Memory management • Paging (why?) • MMU! • Swapping (why?)

  12. Protection and Security • Processes vs the OS (how?) • Processes vs other Processes (how?) • Privileged processes (why?) • Access control matrix

  13. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #define N 41 int main(intargc, char * argv[]) { if(argc >= 3) { FILE *from = fopen(argv[1], "r"); FILE *to = fopen(argv[2], "w"); char buf[N]; while (fgets(buf,N,from) != NULL) { fputs(buf,to); fputc('\n',to); } fclose(from); fclose(to); return 0; } else { printf("usage %s from to\n", argv[0]); return 1; } } I/O management • Output? • gcc Wrap.c • strace ./a.out Wrap.c junk • Find the system calls for: • fgets() • fputs()

  14. Virtual Machine management • Examples?

  15. Summary • Operating systems are large, hence abstraction to manage complexity: • Processes and threads • Memory • Files and peripherals • User accounts • Management issues • Fairness • Sharing • Protection
