Processes Topics Process context switches Creating and destroying processes CS 105 “Tour of the Black Holes of Computing!”

– 2 – CS 105 Processes Def: A process is an instance of a running program One of the most profound ideas in computer science Not the same as “program” or “processor” Process provides each program with two key abstractions: Logical control flow Each program seems to have exclusive use of the CPU Private address space Each program seems to have exclusive use of main memory How are these illusions maintained? Process executions interleaved (multitasking) Address spaces managed by virtual memory system

– 3 – CS 105 Logical Control Flows Time Process AProcess BProcess C Each process has its own logical control flow

– 4 – CS 105 Concurrent Processes Two processes run concurrently (are concurrent) if their flows overlap in time Otherwise, they are sequential Examples: Concurrent: A & B, A & C Sequential: B & C Time Process AProcess BProcess C

– 5 – CS 105 User View: Concurrent Processes Control flows for concurrent processes are physically disjoint in time (except on multi-CPU machines) However, we can think of concurrent processes as running in parallel with each other Time Process AProcess BProcess C

– 6 – CS 105 Context Switching Processes are managed by a shared chunk of OS code called the kernel Important: the kernel is not a separate process, but rather runs as part of (or on behalf of) some user process Control flow passes from one process to another via a context switch Process A code Process B code user code kernel code user code kernel code user code Time context switch

– 7 – CS 105 Private Address Spaces Each process has its own private address space kernel virtual memory (code, data, heap, stack) memory mapped region for shared libraries run-time heap (managed by malloc) user stack (created at runtime) unused 0 %esp (stack pointer) memory invisible to user code brk 0xc x x read/write segment (.data,.bss) read-only segment (.init,.text,.rodata) loaded from the executable file 0xffffffff

– 8 – CS 105 fork : Creating New Processes int fork(void) Creates new process (child process) that is identical to calling process (parent process) Returns 0 to child process Returns child’s pid to parent process if (fork() == 0) { printf("hello from child\n"); } else { printf("hello from parent\n"); } Fork is interesting (and often confusing) because it is called once but returns twice Huh? Run that by me again!

– 9 – CS 105 Fork Example #1 void fork1() { int x = 1; // Parent and child will get private copies! pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid == 0) { printf("Child has x = %d\n", ++x); } else { printf("Parent has x = %d\n", --x); } printf("Bye from process %d with x = %d\n", getpid(), x); } Key Points Parent and child both run same code Distinguish parent from child by return value from fork Start with same state, but each has private copy Including shared input and output file descriptors Relative ordering of their print statements undefined

– 10 – CS 105 Fork Example #2 void fork2() { printf("L0\n"); fork(); printf("L1\n"); fork(); printf("Bye\n"); } Key Points Both parent and child can continue forking L0 L1 Bye

– 11 – CS 105 Fork Example #3 void fork3() { printf("L0\n"); fork(); printf("L1\n"); fork(); printf("L2\n"); fork(); printf("Bye\n"); } Key Points Both parent and child can continue forking L1L2 Bye L1L2 Bye L0

– 12 – CS 105 Fork Example #4 void fork4() { printf("L0\n"); if (fork() != 0) { printf("L1\n"); if (fork() != 0) { printf("L2\n"); fork(); } printf("Bye\n"); } Key Points Both parent and child can continue forking L0 L1 Bye L2 Bye

– 13 – CS 105 Fork Example #5 void fork5() { printf("L0\n"); if (fork() == 0) { printf("L1\n"); if (fork() == 0) { printf("L2\n"); fork(); } printf("Bye\n"); } Key Points Both parent and child can continue forking L0 Bye L1 Bye L2

– 14 – CS 105 exit : Destroying a Process void exit(int status) Terminates a process Normally return with status 0 (success) Nonzero value indicates failures (Anna Karenina) atexit() registers functions to be executed upon exit void cleanup(void) { printf("cleaning up\n"); } void fork6() { atexit(cleanup); fork(); exit(0); }

– 15 – CS 105 Zombies Idea When process terminates, still consumes system resources Various tables maintained by OS (to store exit status) Called a “zombie” Living corpse, half alive and half deadReaping Performed by parent on terminated child Parent is given exit status information Kernel discards process What If Parent Doesn’t Reap? If any parent terminates without reaping a child, then child will be reaped by init process Only need explicit reaping for long-running processes E.g., shells and servers

– 16 – CS 105 linux>./forks 7 & [1] 6639 Running Parent, PID = 6639 Terminating Child, PID = 6640 linux> ps PID TTY TIME CMD 6585 ttyp9 00:00:00 tcsh 6639 ttyp9 00:00:03 forks 6640 ttyp9 00:00:00 forks 6641 ttyp9 00:00:00 ps linux> kill 6639 [1] Terminated linux> ps PID TTY TIME CMD 6585 ttyp9 00:00:00 tcsh 6642 ttyp9 00:00:00 ps Zombie Example ps shows child process as “defunct” Killing parent allows child to be reaped void fork7() { if (fork() == 0) { /* Child */ printf("Terminating Child, PID = %d\n", getpid()); exit(0); } else { printf("Running Parent, PID = %d\n", getpid()); while (1) ; /* Infinite loop */ }

– 17 – CS 105 linux>./forks 8 Terminating Parent, PID = 6675 Running Child, PID = 6676 linux> ps PID TTY TIME CMD 6585 ttyp9 00:00:00 tcsh 6676 ttyp9 00:00:06 forks 6677 ttyp9 00:00:00 ps linux> kill 6676 linux> ps PID TTY TIME CMD 6585 ttyp9 00:00:00 tcsh 6678 ttyp9 00:00:00 ps Nonterminating Child Example Child process still active even though parent has terminated Must kill explicitly, or else will keep running indefinitely void fork8() { if (fork() == 0) { /* Child */ printf("Running Child, PID = %d\n", getpid()); while (1) ; /* Infinite loop */ } else { printf("Terminating Parent, PID = %d\n", getpid()); exit(0); }

– 18 – CS 105 wait : Synchronizing With Children int wait(int *child_status) Suspends current process until one of its children terminates Return value is pid of child process that terminated If child_status != NULL, then integer it points to will be set to indicate why child terminated

– 19 – CS 105 wait : Synchronizing With Children void fork9() { int child_status; if (fork() == 0) { printf("HC: hello from child\n"); } else { printf("HP: hello from parent\n"); wait(&child_status); printf("CT: child has terminated\n"); } printf("Bye\n"); exit(0); } HP HCBye CTBye

– 20 – CS 105 Wait Example If multiple children completed, will take in arbitrary order Can use macros WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS to get information about exit status void fork10() { pid_t pid[N]; int i; int child_status; for (i = 0; i < N; i++) if ((pid[i] = fork()) == 0) exit(100+i); /* Child */ for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { pid_t wpid = wait(&child_status); if (WIFEXITED(child_status)) printf("Child %d terminated with exit status %d\n", wpid, WEXITSTATUS(child_status)); else printf("Child %d terminated abnormally\n", wpid); }

– 21 – CS 105 Waitpid waitpid(pid, &status, options) Can wait for specific process Various options available (see man page) void fork11() { pid_t pid[N]; int i; int child_status; for (i = 0; i < N; i++) if ((pid[i] = fork()) == 0) exit(100+i); /* Child */ for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { pid_t wpid = waitpid(pid[i], &child_status, 0); if (WIFEXITED(child_status)) printf("Child %d terminated with exit status %d\n", wpid, WEXITSTATUS(child_status)); else printf("Child %d terminated abnormally\n", wpid); }

– 22 – CS 105 Wait/Waitpid Example Outputs Child 3565 terminated with exit status 103 Child 3564 terminated with exit status 102 Child 3563 terminated with exit status 101 Child 3562 terminated with exit status 100 Child 3566 terminated with exit status 104 Child 3568 terminated with exit status 100 Child 3569 terminated with exit status 101 Child 3570 terminated with exit status 102 Child 3571 terminated with exit status 103 Child 3572 terminated with exit status 104 Using wait ( fork10 ) Using waitpid ( fork11 )

– 23 – CS 105 exec : Running New Programs int execlp(char *what, char *arg0, char *arg1, …, 0) Loads and runs executable at what with args arg0, arg1, … what is the name or complete path of an executable arg0 becomes the name of the process »Typically arg0 is either identical to what, or else it contains only the executable filename from what “Real” arguments to the executable start with arg1, etc. List of args is terminated by a (char *)0 argument Returns -1 if error, otherwise doesn’t return! main() { if (fork() == 0) { execlp("/usr/bin/cp", "cp", "foo", "bar", NULL); } wait(NULL); printf("copy completed\n"); exit(0); }

– 24 – CS 105 Summarizing Processes At any given time, system has multiple active processes But only one (per CPU core) can execute at a time Each process appears to have total control of processor + private memory space

– 25 – CS 105 Summarizing (cont.) Spawning Processes Call to fork One call, two returns Terminating Processes Call exit One call, no return Reaping Processes Call wait or waitpid Replacing Program Executed by Process Call execl (or variant) One call, (normally) no return

– 26 – CS 105 Fork() Revisited To create a new process using fork(), the kernel: Makes copies of the old process’s mm_struct, vm_area_struct’s, and page tables. At this point the two processes are sharing all of their pages How to get separate spaces without copying all the virtual pages from one space to another? »“Copy on write” technique. Sets up copy-on-write Makes pages of writeable areas read-only Flags vm_area_struct’s for these areas as private “copy-on- write” Writes by either process to these pages will cause page faults »Fault handler recognizes copy-on-write, makes a copy of the page, and restores write permissions on both Net result: Copies are deferred until absolutely necessary (i.e., when one of the processes tries to modify a shared page). “Lazy evaluation” technique: very useful in operating systems

– 27 – CS 105 Exec() Revisited kernel code/data/stack Memory mapped region for shared libraries runtime heap (via malloc) program text (.text) initialized data (.data) uninitialized data (.bss) stack forbidden 0 %esp process VM brk 0xc0 physical memory same for each process process-specific data structures (page tables, task and mm structs) kernel VM To run a new program p in the current process using exec(), the kernel: Frees vm_area_struct’s and page tables for old areas Creates new vm_area_struct’s and page tables for new areas. Stack, bss, data, text, shared libs Text and data backed by ELF executable object file Bss and stack initialized to zero Sets PC to entry point in.text Linux will swap in code and data pages as needed.data.text p demand-zero libc.so.data.text
