Pipes and FIFOs allow communication between related processes. Pipes are unidirectional byte streams used to connect the standard output of one process to the standard input of another. FIFOs allow communication between any processes and have names in the file system. Both pipes and FIFOs can experience blocking and deadlocks if processes attempt to read empty or write to full connections. Nonblocking I/O helps prevent these issues.
The document discusses the PE/COFF file format used in Windows. It explains that PE/COFF is based on the older COFF format, with a PE header added. It describes the different sections contained in a PE/COFF file like .text, .data, .rdata, and debug sections. It also explains the image headers, section tables, and symbol tables contained in the COFF and PE parts of the file format.

This document provides an introduction and overview of the Go programming language. It discusses that Go was created by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike at Google in 2007. It then summarizes some key features of Go, including that it is statically typed, has built-in concurrency, compiles to native binaries, and uses garbage collection. The document also provides an overview of Go tools and environments, basic syntax like variables and functions, and common data types like arrays and slices. It concludes by discussing how to write first Go programs and packages.
A data structure is a way of storing data in computer memory so that it can be retrieved and manipulated efficiently. There are two main categories of data structures: linear and non-linear. Linear data structures include arrays, stacks, and queues where elements are stored in a linear order. Non-linear structures include trees and graphs where elements are not necessarily in a linear order. Common operations on data structures include traversing, searching, insertion, deletion, sorting, and merging. Algorithms use data structures to process and solve problems in an efficient manner.
Each process has a unique process ID and maintains its parent's ID. A process's virtual memory is divided into segments like the stack and heap. When a program runs, its command-line arguments and environment are passed via argc/argv and the environ list. The setjmp() and longjmp() functions allow non-local jumps between functions, but their use should be avoided due to restrictions and compiler optimizations that can affect variable values.
This document summarizes key concepts about file systems in Linux:
1. It describes the structure of file systems including superblocks, inodes, and data blocks. Inodes contain metadata about files and pointers to data blocks.
2. It discusses device files that correspond to devices in the system and are represented in the /dev directory. Each device has a major and minor ID.
3. Journaling file systems like ext4 are described which eliminate the need for lengthy consistency checks after crashes by journaling file system updates.
4. The concept of mounting other file systems at mount points under the single directory hierarchy rooted at / is summarized along with the mount() and umount() system calls.
Tlpi chapter 38 writing secure privileged programsShu-Yu Fu
This document discusses guidelines for securely writing privileged programs. It recommends operating with least privilege by dropping privileges when they are not needed and reacquiring them only as required. It also recommends confining the process using capabilities or chroot jails, being careful of signals and race conditions, avoiding buffer overflows, and checking return values of system calls. The overall aim is to minimize the chances of a privileged program being subverted and to minimize potential damage if subversion occurs.
Dynamic memory allocation allows programs to allocate memory at runtime using functions like malloc(), calloc(), free(), and realloc(). Malloc allocates memory and returns a pointer, calloc allocates and initializes to 0, free releases previously allocated memory, and realloc changes the size of allocated memory. Memory allocation occurs on the heap which changes size during program execution. Out of memory errors can occur if allocation requests exceed available heap space.
This chapter describes functions for allocating memory on the heap or stack in C. It discusses brk(), sbrk(), malloc(), and free() for allocating memory on the heap by adjusting the program break and using memory pools. It also covers calloc(), realloc(), memalign(), and alloca() for specialized memory allocation needs, like initializing to zero, resizing blocks, aligned blocks, and stack allocation. Tools for debugging memory allocation like mtrace(), mcheck(), and MALLOC_CHECK are also outlined.
This document discusses dynamic memory allocation in C using library functions like malloc(), calloc(), realloc() and free(). It explains that dynamic allocation allows memory to be requested and freed at runtime rather than being fixed at compile time. Memory for a program comes from the stack or heap, with the heap being used for global variables and dynamically allocated memory. Examples are provided to demonstrate allocating memory for an array of floats using malloc(), allocating and initializing memory using calloc(), resizing allocated memory using realloc(), and freeing memory using free().
Dynamic memory allocation involves reserving blocks of memory at runtime using functions like malloc(), calloc(), and realloc(). Memory is allocated on the heap, which grows as needed, unlike the stack which has a fixed size. Variables on the heap must be manually freed with free() to avoid memory leaks. Proper memory management is important for application performance and security.
The document discusses dynamic memory allocation in C. It describes the four main functions for dynamic allocation - malloc(), calloc(), free(), and realloc(). malloc() allocates a block of memory of a specified size and returns a pointer. calloc() allocates multiple blocks of memory and initializes them to zero. free() releases previously allocated memory. realloc() changes the size of previously allocated memory. The document provides examples of using each function.
Memory is encoded, stored, and retrieved through processes. Encoding allows external information to reach our senses. Memory allocation involves setting aside space, such as allocating hard drive space for an application. It places blocks of information in memory systems. To allocate memory, the memory management system tracks available memory and allocates only what is needed, keeping the rest available. If insufficient memory exists, blocks may be swapped. Static and dynamic allocation methods exist, with dynamic using nonpreemptive and preemptive allocation. Nonpreemptive allocation searches memory for available space for a transferring block. Preemptive allocation more efficiently uses memory through compaction. Different memory types store executable code, variables, and dynamically sized structures, with heap memory

Memory allocation involves assigning blocks of memory to programs and variables at runtime. There are two main types: static allocation assigns fixed sizes at compile time, while dynamic allocation assigns sizes during execution using functions like malloc(), calloc(), and realloc(). Malloc() allocates a block of the requested size and returns a pointer to it. Calloc() allocates and initializes to zero. Realloc() changes the size of an existing block. Free() releases a block back to the system. Memory allocation is managed to optimize usage and avoid errors.
Memory allocation for real time operating systemAsma'a Lafi
Memory allocation strategies in real-time operating systems differ from traditional operating systems in order to improve system performance. Real-time operating systems use static and dynamic memory allocation. Static allocation assigns memory at design time while dynamic allocation occurs at runtime using memory managers. Common dynamic allocation algorithms for real-time systems include buddy allocation, indexed fit, bitmapped fit, and two-level segregated fit, which aim to minimize fragmentation and response times. The document compares various allocation algorithms and concludes that dynamic allocation presents challenges for real-time systems to optimize fragmentation, response time, and locality.
1. Arrays declared with a fixed size limit the program size, while dynamically allocated arrays using heap memory allow the size to be determined at runtime.
2. The heap segment is used for dynamic memory allocation using functions like malloc() and new to request memory from the operating system as needed.
3. Deallocation of dynamically allocated memory is required using free() and delete to avoid memory leaks and ensure memory is returned to the operating system.
