Reading Sections 5.1-5.5, in K&R GDB Reference Card (linked to class page under “resources.”) Optional: Complete GDB documentation (http://www.gnu.org/manual/gdb-5.1.1/gdb.html) Note: GDB currently only works on the following machines: • torus.cs.berkeley.edu • rhombus.cs.berkeley.edu • pentagon.cs.berkeley.edu Please ssh into one of these machines before starting the lab. Basic tasks in GDB There are two ways to start the debugger: 1. In EMACS, type M-x gdb, then type gdb <filename> 2. Run gdb <filename> from the command line The following are fundamental operations in gdb. Please make sure you know the gdb commands for the following operations before you proceed. 1. How do you run a program in gdb? 2. How do you pass arguments to a program when using gdb? 3. How do you set a breakpoint in a program? 4. How do you set a breakpoint which which only occurs when a set of conditions is true (eg when certain variables are a certain value)? 5. How do you execute the next line of C code in the program after a break? 1 6. If the next line is a function call, you'll execute the call in one step. How do you execute the C code, line by line, inside the function call? 7.

  • Lecture 15 15.1 Paging
    CMPSCI 377 Operating Systems Fall 2009 Lecture 15 Lecturer: Emery Berger Scribe: Bruno Silva,Jim Partan 15.1 Paging In recent lectures, we have been discussing virtual memory. The valid addresses in a process' virtual address space correspond to actual data or code somewhere in the system, either in physical memory or on the disk. Since physical memory is fast and is a limited resource, we use the physical memory as a cache for the disk (another way of saying this is that the physical memory is \backed by" the disk, just as the L1 cache is \backed by" the L2 cache). Just as with any cache, we need to specify our policies for when to read a page into physical memory, when to evict a page from physical memory, and when to write a page from physical memory back to the disk. 15.1.1 Reading Pages into Physical Memory For reading, most operating systems use demand paging. This means that pages are only read from the disk into physical memory when they are needed. In the page table, there is a resident status bit, which says whether or not a valid page resides in physical memory. If the MMU tries to get a physical page number for a valid page which is not resident in physical memory, it issues a pagefault to the operating system. The OS then loads that page from disk, and then returns to the MMU to finish the translation.1 In addition, many operating systems make some use of pre-fetching, which is called pre-paging when used for pages.

  • Memory Management
    Memory management Virtual address space ● Each process in a multi-tasking OS runs in its own memory sandbox called the virtual address space. ● In 32-bit mode this is a 4GB block of memory addresses. ● These virtual addresses are mapped to physical memory by page tables, which are maintained by the operating system kernel and consulted by the processor. ● Each process has its own set of page tables. ● Once virtual addresses are enabled, they apply to all software running in the machine, including the kernel itself. ● Thus a portion of the virtual address space must be reserved to the kernel Kernel and user space ● Kernel might not use 1 GB much physical memory. ● It has that portion of address space available to map whatever physical memory it wishes. ● Kernel space is flagged in the page tables as exclusive to privileged code (ring 2 or lower), hence a page fault is triggered if user-mode programs try to touch it. ● In Linux, kernel space is constantly present and maps the same physical memory in all processes. ● Kernel code and data are always addressable, ready to handle interrupts or system calls at any time. ● By contrast, the mapping for the user-mode portion of the address space changes whenever a process switch happens Kernel virtual address space ● Kernel address space is the area above CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET. ● For 32-bit, this is configurable at kernel build time. The kernel can be given a different amount of address space as desired. ● Two kinds of addresses in kernel virtual address space – Kernel logical address – Kernel virtual address Kernel logical address ● Allocated with kmalloc() ● Holds all the kernel data structures ● Can never be swapped out ● Virtual addresses are a fixed offset from their physical addresses.

Due Dates The Due Date for this assignment is 3:30pm Friday, October 5. The Late Due Date is 3:30pm Tuesday, October 9 (not Monday the 8th, because that is a holiday). The penalty for handing in an assignment after the Due Date but before the Late Due Date is 3 marks. In other words, X/Y becomes (X{3)/Y if the assignment is late. There will be no credit for assignments turned in after the Late Due Date; they will be returned unmarked. Marking scheme A 4 marks B 8 marks C unmarked D 2 marks E 8 marks F 2 marks G 4 marks total 28 marks How to package and hand in your assignments Please see the information in the Lab 1 instructions.

    A Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D. in Engineering A Study on Faults and Error Propagation in the Linux Operating System March 2016 Graduate School of Science and Technology Keio University Takeshi Yoshimura Acknowledgement I would like to thank my adviser, Prof. Kenji Kono. His guidance helped me in all the time of research. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Hiroshi Yamada. This dissertation would not have been possible without their advice and encouragement. I am also grateful to the members of my thesis committee: Prof. Shingo Takada, Prof. Hiroaki Saito, and Prof. Kenichi Kourai. This dissertation was greatly improved by their invaluable feedback. During my Ph.D., I did an internship at NEC. I enjoyed working with Dr. Masato Asahara and the opportunity had a significant impact on my research skills. He also taught me LDA, which is the core of the fault study in this dis- sertation. I am also thankful to my colleagues in the sslab. Their surprising enthusiasm and skills have always inspired me. I appreciate the financial supports from the Research Fellowships of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Young Scientists and the Core Re- search for Evolutional Science and Technology of Japan Science and Technology Agency. Finally, I would like to thank my family, my parents, sister for their support all these years. Without their support and encouragement, many accomplishments in my life including this dissertation would not have been possible. 2 Abstract A Study on Faults and Error Propagation in the Linux Operating System Takeshi Yoshimura Operating systems are crucial for application reliability.
