3.1 Using the program shown in the Figure3.30, explain what the output will be at LINE A 答案:LINE A 处的输出是PARENT: value = 5. 解析: 此问题的相关知识有进程创建.fork函数. 当父进程调用fork函数时, 新创建的子进程几乎但不完全与父进程相同, 子进程会获得一份父进程用户级虚拟地址空间的拷贝, 但是此拷贝是独立的, 拷贝内容包括文本.数据和bss段.堆以及用户栈. 所以在图…
3.2 Including the initial parent process, how many processes are created by the program shown in Figure? 答案: 会创建8个进程. 解析:相关知识: fork函数的执行原理 fork函数执行一次, 返回两次,父进程返回子进程的PID, 子进程返回0(至于返回值为什么不同, 这与do_fork函数有关,具体是怎么一回事我还不太清楚).程序中可利用此性质来区别程序的父进程和子进程. 当一个进程执行…
3.12 Including the initial parent process, how many processes are created by the program shown in Figure 3.32? 答案: 共16个进程. 解析: 根据之前所学到的关于fork的知识去画进程图, 要注意的一点就是, fork的子进程的程序计数器里的指令和父进程的相同, 所以每次fork之后, 子进程里i的值都会继续增加.例如, 第一个进程, i=0时, fork的子进程的i会继续++, 从1…
3.5 When a process creates a new process using the fork() operation, which of the following state is shared between the parent process and the child process? a. Stack b.Heap c.Shared memory segments 答案:c.Shared memory segments. 解析:fork一个新的子进程时, 子进程会得…
3.3 Original version of Apple's mobile iOS operating system provied no means of concurrent processing. Discuss three major complications that concurrent processing adds to an operating system. 答案:此问题不太熟悉, 应该是问向操作系统中加入并发处理后的三个主要并发症是什么. 在网上搜索了一下, 得到了一…
3.9 Describe the actions token by a kernel to content-switch between processes. 答案: 内核在进行进程上下文切换时, 首先将当前进程的上下文保存在内存中的PCB中, 然后再将下一个进程在内存中的PCB里的上下文读取出来. 上下文包含CPU寄存器里的内容, 堆, 用户栈, 内存管理信息, 数据, 文本.…
3.4 The Sun UltraSPARC processor has multiple register sets. Describe what happens when a context switch occurs if the new context is already loaded into one of the register sets. What happens if the new context is in memory rather than in a register…
