  • What Is an Operating System III 2.1 Compnents II an Operating System
    Page 1 of 6 What is an Operating System III 2.1 Compnents II An operating system (OS) is software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Memory management Among other things, a multiprogramming operating system kernel must be responsible for managing all system memory which is currently in use by programs. This ensures that a program does not interfere with memory already in use by another program. Since programs time share, each program must have independent access to memory. Cooperative memory management, used by many early operating systems, assumes that all programs make voluntary use of the kernel's memory manager, and do not exceed their allocated memory. This system of memory management is almost never seen any more, since programs often contain bugs which can cause them to exceed their allocated memory. If a program fails, it may cause memory used by one or more other programs to be affected or overwritten. Malicious programs or viruses may purposefully alter another program's memory, or may affect the operation of the operating system itself. With cooperative memory management, it takes only one misbehaved program to crash the system. Memory protection enables the kernel to limit a process' access to the computer's memory. Various methods of memory protection exist, including memory segmentation and paging. All methods require some level of hardware support (such as the 80286 MMU), which doesn't exist in all computers.

  • Measuring and Improving Memory's Resistance to Operating System
    University of Michigan CSE-TR-273-95 Measuring and Improving Memory’s Resistance to Operating System Crashes Wee Teck Ng, Gurushankar Rajamani, Christopher M. Aycock, Peter M. Chen Computer Science and Engineering Division Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Michigan {weeteck,gurur,caycock,pmchen}@eecs.umich.edu Abstract: Memory is commonly viewed as an unreliable place to store permanent data because it is per- ceived to be vulnerable to system crashes.1 Yet despite all the negative implications of memory’s unreli- ability, no data exists that quantifies how vulnerable memory actually is to system crashes. The goals of this paper are to quantify the vulnerability of memory to operating system crashes and to propose a method for protecting memory from these crashes. We use software fault injection to induce a wide variety of operating system crashes in DEC Alpha work- stations running Digital Unix, ranging from bit errors in the kernel stack to deleting branch instructions to C-level allocation management errors. We show that memory is remarkably resistant to operating system crashes. Out of the 996 crashes we observed, only 17 corrupted file cache data. Excluding direct corruption from copy overruns, only 2 out of 820 corrupted file cache data. This data contradicts the common assump- tion that operating system crashes often corrupt files in memory. For users who need even greater protec- tion against operating system crashes, we propose a simple, low-overhead software scheme that controls access to file cache buffers using virtual memory protection and code patching. 1 Introduction A modern storage hierarchy combines random-access memory, magnetic disk, and possibly optical disk or magnetic tape to try to keep pace with rapid advances in processor performance.

    Recovering from Operating System Crashes Francis David Daniel Chen Department of Computer Science Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, USA Urbana, USA Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Abstract— When an operating system crashes and hangs, it timers and processor support techniques [12] are required to leaves the machine in an unusable state. All currently running detect such crashes. program state and data is lost. The usual solution is to reboot the It is accepted behavior that when an operating system machine and restart user programs. However, it is possible that after a crash, user program state and most operating system state crashes, all currently running user programs and data in is still in memory and hopefully, not corrupted. In this project, volatile memory is lost and unrecoverable because the proces- we use a watchdog timer to reset the processor on an operating sor halts and the system needs to be rebooted. This is inspite system crash. We have modified the Linux kernel and added of the fact that all of this information is available in volatile a recovery routine that is called instead of the normal boot up memory as long as there is no power failure. This paper function when the processor is reset by a watchdog. This resumes execution of user processes after killing the process that was explores the possibility of recovering the operating system executing when the watchdog fired. We have implemented this using the contents of memory in order to resume execution on the ARM architecture and we use a periodic watchdog kick of user programs without any data loss.

  • COMP26120 Academic Session: 2018-19 Lab Exercise 3: Debugging
    COMP26120 Academic Session: 2018-19 Lab Exercise 3: Debugging; Arrays and Memory Management Duration: 1 lab session For this lab exercise you should do all your work on your ex3 branch. Important: Read the supporting material on (i) pointers and arrays, and (ii) how to debug C programs before the lab starts. Learning Objectives At the end of this lab you should be able to: 1. Identify some common mistakes related to strings and memory management in C; 2. Use structs, unions, pointers, malloc and free in C; 3. Explain some fundamental differences between C and Java - the explicit use of pointers and of memory management; 4. Use GDB and valgrind to help debug C programs. Introduction We strongly recommend you review the lecture slides, and the two sets of reading material on pointers and arrays and debugging before starting this lab. See the course unit website for these documents. You might also find The GNU C Programming Tutorial helpful now and throughout this course. The relevant parts to this lab are Pointers, Strings, and Data Structures. Part 1 In this part you will take the provided C program broken.c and produce a C program fixed.c and a text file part1.txt describing what you did. You do not need to get to the end of this part to get full marks. You need to have made some reasonable progress and write down what you did. You will also need to demonstrate how to use a debugger and Valgrind to the TA and explain what they do. 1 This program (fixed) should take a single string as input on the command line and print the result of making the first letter of each word upper-case and the rest of the letters lower-case.

  • Kernel Debugging and Crash Analysis for Windows®
    Kernel Debugging and Crash Analysis for Windows® Overview When Windows detects an inconsistency within the operating system that's too big to ignore, it crashes and displays the infamous Blue Screen of Death. Optionally, the system also writes the contents of memory at the time of the crash to a crash dump file. The successful analysis of a crash dump requires a good background in Windows internals and data structures. But it also lends itself to a rigorous, methodical approach. Crash analysis is a skill that can be taught and learned. And that's precisely what we do in this intensive 5-day, hands-on seminar. Seminar Formats This seminar is available as a 5-day lecture with labs, which can be customized with additional or different topics for presentation at your location. Please contact an OSR Seminar Coordinator for details on arranging an on-site seminar. Target Audience Driver developers who need to understand how to set up for, use, and analyze OS crash dumps. Support personnel who need to know how to debug Windows system crashes in the lab or at customer sites, in situ or post mortem. Advanced, hands-on, systems administrators who are comfortable with Windows systems internals and need to be able to work through system crashes to identify the proximate reasons for the crashes they are seeing. Prerequisites This is an intermediate-level seminar offering for active practitioners. This is not a class for beginners. All attendees are expected to understand operating system concepts in general, and the basic concepts of the Windows operating system.
