School of Software. HUSTSemantics of fork() and exec() (P138)lDoes fork() duplicate only the calling thread or all
9、threads?Operating System. Huan Liu. School of Software. HUSTThread Cancellation (P139)lTerminating a thread before it has finished.lTwo general approaches:nAsynchronous (异步) cancellation terminates the target thread immediately.nDeferred (延期) cancellation allows the target thread to periodically (周期
10、性地) check if it should be cancelled.Operating System. Huan Liu. School of Software. HUSTSignal Handling (信号手柄) (P139)lSignals are used in UNIX systems to notify a process that a particular event has occurred.lA signal handler is used to process signals.4Signal is generated by particular event4Signal
11、 is delivered to a process4Signal is handledlOptions:nDeliver the signal to the thread to which the signal applies.nDeliver the signal to every thread in the process.nDeliver the signal to certain threads in the process.nAssign a specific thread to receive all signals for the process.Operating Syste
12、m. Huan Liu. School of Software. HUSTThread Pools (P141)lCreate a number of threads in a pool where they await work.lAdvantages:nUsually slightly faster to service a request with an existing thread than create a new thread.nAllows the number of threads in the application(s) to be bound to the size o
13、f the pool.Operating System. Huan Liu. School of Software. HUSTThread Specific Data (P142)lAllows each thread to have its own copy of data.lUseful when you do not have control over the thread creation process (i.e., when using a thread pool).Operating System. Huan Liu. School of Software. HUSTSchedu
14、ler Activations (P142)lBoth M:M and Two-level models require communication to maintain the appropriate number of kernel threads allocated to the application.lScheduler activations provide upcalls - a communication mechanism from the kernel to the thread library.lThis communication allows an applicat

HUSTPthreadslA POSIX standard (IEEE 1003.1c) API for thread creation and synchronization.lAPI specifies behavior of the thread library, implementation is up to development of the library.lCommon in UNIX
