This document discusses system calls in operating systems. It defines a system call as the way a program requests a service from the operating system kernel. System calls provide an interface between user programs and the OS and allow processes to access resources. The document describes how system calls work by interrupting a process, executing in kernel mode, then returning control to user mode. It also lists reasons why system calls are needed in operating systems, such as for file I/O, process creation, networking, and hardware device access. Finally, it outlines some common types of system calls like process control, file management, and communications.

Os Threads
This document discusses threads and threading models. It defines a thread as the basic unit of CPU utilization consisting of a program counter, stack, and registers. Threads allow for simultaneous execution of tasks within the same process by switching between threads rapidly. There are three main threading models: many-to-one maps many user threads to one kernel thread; one-to-one maps each user thread to its own kernel thread; many-to-many maps user threads to kernel threads in a variable manner. Popular thread libraries include POSIX pthreads and Win32 threads.

This presentation discusses system calls and provides an overview of their key aspects:
System calls provide an interface between processes and the operating system. They allow programs to request services from the OS like reading/writing files. There are different methods of passing parameters to the OS, such as via registers, parameter blocks, or pushing to the stack. System calls fall into categories including process control, file management, device management, information maintenance, and communication. An example is given of how system calls would be used in a program to copy data between two files.

System calls allow programs to request services from the operating system kernel. They are generally implemented as assembly instructions and can be invoked from C/C++. Parameters can be passed via registers, memory blocks, or pushing to the stack. System calls are categorized as process control, file management, device management, information maintenance, and communication. Examples provided include creating and terminating processes, opening and closing files, reading/writing devices, getting time/date, and sending/receiving messages.
Process synchronization
This document discusses various techniques for process synchronization. It begins by defining process synchronization as coordinating access to shared resources between processes to maintain data consistency. It then discusses critical sections, where shared data is accessed, and solutions like Peterson's algorithm and semaphores to ensure only one process accesses the critical section at a time. Semaphores use wait and signal operations on a shared integer variable to synchronize processes. The document covers binary and counting semaphores and provides an example of their use.
Dead Lock in operating system
Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are waiting for resources held by each other in a circular chain, resulting in none of the processes making progress. There are four conditions required for deadlock: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. Deadlock can be addressed through prevention, avoidance, detection, or recovery methods. Prevention aims to eliminate one of the four conditions, while avoidance techniques like the safe state model and Banker's Algorithm guarantee a safe allocation order to avoid circular waits.

Deadlock
The document discusses deadlocks in computer systems. It defines deadlock, presents examples, and describes four conditions required for deadlock to occur. Several methods for handling deadlocks are discussed, including prevention, avoidance, detection, and recovery. Prevention methods aim to ensure deadlocks never occur, while avoidance allows the system to dynamically prevent unsafe states. Detection identifies when the system is in a deadlocked state.
Operating Systems: Virtual Memory
The document discusses how modern operating systems use paging to manage memory. Programs are divided into chunks called pages which are loaded into frames of main memory as needed. This allows more programs to reside partially in memory than would fit entirely, through demand paging which loads only currently used parts of a program. This creates the illusion of larger memory usage via virtual memory.
Deadlock ppt
This document discusses deadlocks, including the four conditions required for a deadlock, methods to avoid deadlocks like using safe states and Banker's Algorithm, ways to detect deadlocks using wait-for graphs and detection algorithms, and approaches to recover from deadlocks such as terminating processes or preempting resources.
Process scheduling
Process scheduling involves assigning system resources like CPU time to processes. There are three levels of scheduling - long, medium, and short term. The goals of scheduling are to minimize turnaround time, waiting time, and response time for users while maximizing throughput, CPU utilization, and fairness for the system. Common scheduling algorithms include first come first served, priority scheduling, shortest job first, round robin, and multilevel queue scheduling. Newer algorithms like fair share scheduling and lottery scheduling aim to prevent starvation.
Scheduling algorithms
The document discusses various scheduling algorithms used in operating systems including:
- First Come First Serve (FCFS) scheduling which services processes in the order of arrival but can lead to long waiting times.
- Shortest Job First (SJF) scheduling which prioritizes the shortest processes first to minimize waiting times. It can be preemptive or non-preemptive.
- Priority scheduling assigns priorities to processes and services the highest priority process first, which can potentially cause starvation of low priority processes.
- Round Robin scheduling allows equal CPU access to all processes by allowing each a small time quantum or slice before preempting to the next process.
Process in operating system
This document discusses processes and process states in operating systems. It defines a process as a program in execution that can exist in different states. The main states are new, ready, running, blocked, and terminated. A process can transition between these states, such as moving from ready to running when assigned CPU resources or from running to blocked when waiting for a required resource. An additional suspended state is used when a process is swapped out of memory. The document provides detailed descriptions of each state and the transitions between them.

INTER PROCESS COMMUNICATION (IPC).pptx
Inter-process communication (IPC) allows processes to communicate and synchronize. Common IPC methods include pipes, message queues, shared memory, semaphores, and mutexes. Pipes provide unidirectional communication while message queues allow full-duplex communication through message passing. Shared memory enables processes to access the same memory region. Direct IPC requires processes to explicitly name communication partners while indirect IPC uses shared mailboxes.

Deadlock Prevention
This document discusses deadlock prevention by invalidating one of the four conditions necessary for deadlock: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. It describes strategies to prevent each condition, such as not requiring mutual exclusion for sharable resources, requesting all resources before execution or only when a process has none to prevent hold and wait, allowing preemption of held resources to prevent no preemption, and imposing a total ordering of resource requests to prevent circular wait. These techniques aim to ensure deadlock is excluded from the beginning.
Memory management
The document discusses memory management techniques used in operating systems. It describes logical vs physical addresses and how relocation registers map logical addresses to physical addresses. It covers contiguous and non-contiguous storage allocation, including paging and segmentation. Paging divides memory into fixed-size frames and pages, using a page table and translation lookaside buffer (TLB) for address translation. Segmentation divides memory into variable-sized segments based on a program's logical structure. Virtual memory and demand paging are also covered, along with page replacement algorithms like FIFO, LRU and optimal replacement.
Cpu scheduling in operating System.
The document discusses CPU scheduling in operating systems. It describes how the CPU scheduler selects processes that are ready to execute and allocates the CPU to one of them. The goals of CPU scheduling are to maximize CPU utilization, minimize waiting times and turnaround times. Common CPU scheduling algorithms discussed are first come first serve (FCFS), shortest job first (SJF), priority scheduling, and round robin scheduling. Multilevel queue scheduling is also mentioned. Examples are provided to illustrate how each algorithm works.
8 memory management strategies
The document discusses different memory management strategies:
- Swapping allows processes to be swapped temporarily out of memory to disk, then back into memory for continued execution. This improves memory utilization but incurs long swap times.
- Contiguous memory allocation allocates processes into contiguous regions of physical memory using techniques like memory mapping and dynamic storage allocation with first-fit or best-fit. This can cause external and internal fragmentation over time.
- Paging permits the physical memory used by a process to be noncontiguous by dividing memory into pages and mapping virtual addresses to physical frames, allowing more efficient use of memory but requiring page tables for translation.
Operating system services 9
The operating system provides several key services to programs and users, including user interface, program execution, input/output operations, file system management, communications, error detection and handling, resource allocation, accounting, protection, command interpretation, and resource management. These services allow for running programs, performing input/output, creating and managing files, connecting between processes, detecting and handling errors, tracking usage for billing, protecting processes from each other, interpreting user commands, and optimizing resource usage.

System Calls - Introduction
System calls allow programs to request services from the operating system kernel. Some common system calls include read and write for file access, fork for creating new processes, and wait for a parent process to wait for a child process to complete. The steps a system call takes include the program pushing parameters onto the stack, calling the library procedure to place the system call number in a register, triggering a trap instruction to switch to kernel mode, the kernel dispatching the system call to the appropriate handler, the handler running, then returning control to the user program after completing the operation.
Operating system 11 system calls
System call is the programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the kernel of the operating system it is executed on.
This may include hardware-related services (for example, accessing a hard disk drive), creation and execution of new processes, and communication with integral kernel services such as process scheduling.
System calls provide an essential interface between a process and the operating system
Operating system concept
An operating system is software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary between users and the computer hardware. The main goals of an operating system are to control allocation of system resources including memory, CPU time, and disk space, provide a platform for execution of programs, make the computer system convenient to use, and use computer hardware efficiently. An operating system separates applications from the hardware they access and manages both software and hardware resources to produce desired results. It primarily functions as a resource manager.

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- 2. Content ■ System Call ■ API ■ How System Call Works? ■ Why do you need System Calls in OS? ■ Types
- 3. System Call ■ System Call provides an Interface between user program & Operating system. ■ In computing, a system call is the programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the kernel of the operating system it is executed on. ■ A system call is a way for programs to interact with the operating system.
- 4. API ■ Application Program Interface(API) provides an interface between a process and operating system to allow user-level processes to request services of the operating system. System calls are the only entry points into the kernel system. All programs needing resources must use system calls.
- 5. How System Call Works? Step 1) The processes executed in the user mode till the time a system call interrupts it. Step 2) After that, the system call is executed in the kernel- mode on a priority basis. Step 3) Once system call execution is over, control returns to the user mode., Step 4) The execution of user processes resumed in Kernel mode.
- 7. Why do you need System Calls in OS? ■ Reading and writing from files demand system calls. ■ If a file system wants to create or delete files, system calls are required. ■ System calls are used for the creation and management of new processes. ■ Network connections need system calls for sending and receiving packets. ■ Access to hardware devices like scanner, printer, need a system call.
- 8. Types ■ Process Control ■ File Management ■ Device Management ■ Information Maintenance ■ Communications
