Recovering from Operating System Crashes
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. -

Assessment and Improvement of Hang Detection in the Linux Operating System
2009 28th IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems Assessment and Improvement of Hang Detection in the Linux Operating System Domenico Cotroneo∗, Roberto Natella∗†, and Stefano Russo∗† ∗Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Via Claudio 21, Naples, Italy †Laboratorio CINI-ITEM “Carlo Savy”, Complesso Universitario Monte Sant’Angelo, Ed.1, Via Cinthia, Naples, Italy {cotroneo, roberto.natella, stefano.russo}@unina.it Abstract—We propose a fault injection framework to assess detection mechanisms within OSs can fail, and they may hang detection facilities within the Linux Operating System lead to missing, misleading, or false detections. This is the (OS). The novelty of the framework consists in the adoption of case of hang failures, which are caused by a significant a more representative faultload than existing ones, and in the effectiveness in terms of number of hang failures produced; part of software faults in OS code [15]; they cause the OS representativeness is supported by a field data study on the to get partially or completely stalled, and to not provide Linux OS. Using the proposed fault injection framework, any response to user-space applications. It is difficult to along with realistic workloads, we find that the Linux OS detect hang failures, because they hamper the execution is unable to detect hangs in several cases. We experience a of the OS, and, unlike other types of failures (e.g., illegal relative coverage of 75%. To improve detection facilities, we propose a simple yet effective hang detector, which periodically memory access), they are not notified by the hardware.
