Lecture 3 OS Organization and System Calls

• UNIX interface

• abstract the hardware resources

  • process: instead CPU
  • exec: instead of memory
  • file: instead of disk block

• OS should be defensive

  • app cannot crash the OS
  • app cannot break out of its isolation

• strong isolation between apps and os

  • typical: hardware support
    • user/kernel mode
    • virtual memory

• user/kernel mode

  • kernel: privileged instructions(setting up page table register, disabling clock interrupt… )
  • user: unprivileged instructions(add, sub, jr, branch…)

• CPUs provide virtual memory

  • page table: virtual address -> physical address
  • process has own page table
  • memory isolation
