Fundamental Architecture User Applications User Space GNU C Library (glibc) System Call Interface Kernel Kernel Space Architecture Dependent Kernel Code Hardware Platform ● ● ● ● User Space Components User applications ● glibc Provides the system call interface that connects to the kernel Provides the mechanism to transition between user- space application and kernel Each user space process occupies its own virtual address space (vs the kernel which runs on the single address space) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Kernel Space Components System Call Interface Provides the basic functions such as read() and write() ● Kernel Architecture-independent kernel code Common to all processor architectures supported by Linux Architecture-Dependent Code Processor- and platform-specific code Also known as Board Support Package Kernel Subsystems System Call Interface Process Management Memory Management Arch Virtual File System Network Stack Device Drivers ● ● ● ● ● System Call Interface Provides the means to perform function calls from user space into the kernel. This interface can be architecture dependent, even within the same processor family. Can be found in ./linux/kernel ./linux/arch ● ● ● ● Process Management Focused on the execution of processes Each has an individual virtualization of the processor (thread code, data, stack, and registers) Kernel provides API through SCI to start, stop, and communicate with processes Processes are managed by a scheduler ● ● ● ● ● ● Scheduler Kernel implements a scheduling algorithm Operates in cons
