CSE 451 Section 4 Project 2 Design Considerations

Overview 4 major sections: File management File related system calls open, close, read, write Process management Process related system calls getpid, fork, exec, waitpid, _exit

File Management Need a per-process data structure to organize files – a file table Things to consider: What data structure will you use? What will data structure entries hold? How will it be synchronized? Hint: open files are represented by unique integer called a file descriptor

File System Calls – open int open(const char *filename, int flags) Takes in a filename of file to open Flags determine read/write permissions and create/truncate details – refer to man pages Returns a non-negative file descriptor on success, -1 on failure Note: ignore the optional mode

File System Calls – open File descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are reserved for stdin, stdout, and stderr respectively Attached to the console – named “:con” OS/161 provides the virtual file system (vfs). It is a layer of abstraction between the os and file system You only need to interact through the vfs Carefully read through the files in kern/vfs Carefully read through vnode code – abstract representation of a file provided by OS/161

File System Calls – close int close(int fd) Takes in the file descriptor of the file to close. Things to consider: Multiple processes may reference the same file.

File System Calls – read and write int read(int fd, void *buf, size_t buflen) int write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t nbytes) Read and write to the file given by file descriptor Depend on the use of uio and iovec structs to do the actually reading and writing Look through loadelf.c to see how to use uio and iovec uio structs represents a user or kernel space buffer iovec structs are used for keeping track of I/O data in the kernel

Process Management Need a way to keep track of processes running on your machine Processes are identified by a unique integer called the process id (pid) Things to consider: What data structure will you use? What will data structure entries hold? Hint: address space, file tables, etc. How will pids be uniquely assigned? How will it be synchronized?

Process System Calls – fork pid_t fork(void) Create a new process & thread, identical to the caller Child returns 0 and the parent returns the child’s pid Things to consider: How to copy/duplicate process related state How to make child return 0 and behave exactly like the parent Check out mips_usermode() and enter_forked_process() When a process makes a system call, where how does it know where to return? It saves a return address on the trapframe Trapframe needs to be copied!

Process System Calls – exec int execv(const char *program, char **args) Replaces the currently executing program with a newly loaded program image program: name of program to be run args: array of 0-terminated strings. The array itself should be terminated by a NULL pointer

Process System Calls – exec execv() is quite similar to runprogram() in syscall/runprogram.c. Remember to test running the shell after exec works! Most difficult part is copying in user arguments correctly. User passes in pointers to the arguments – need to copyin both the pointers and strings. Then correctly format and copyout the arguments onto the process’s stack. Need to adjust pointers so they point to the copied strings Remember to word align pointers! Look at vm/copyinout.c

Process System Calls – exec Exec should set up the process’ stack to look like this example of passing in 2 arguments “ls foo”

Process System Calls – waitpid pid_t waitpid(pid_t pid, int *status, int options) Wait for the process specified by pid to exit Returns pid of process waiting on Status: return parameter for exit status Closely tied to pid management and synchronization Things to consider: How can you make a parent wait for a child? What happens if a child tries to wait for its parent? You may need to add data to stuct proc to support this

Process System Calls – _exit void _exit(int exitcode) Causes the current thread to exit Also closely tied to pid management and synchronization Things to consider: What are resources we need to free? Do we always free all resources? When do we free the process itself? What about the exit code? Don’t forget kill_curthread()

General Advice Remember to check if kmalloc fails! Read syscall man pages and pay careful attention to the many errors that can be thrown Errors should be handled gracefully – do not crash the OS You may need to increase your system’s memory (again) in order for fork and exec to work
