How do system calls work?

I understand that a user can own a process and each process has an address space (which contains valid memory locations, this process can reference). I know that a process can call a system call and pass parameters to it, just like any other library function. This seems to suggest that all system calls are in a process address space by sharing memory, etc. But perhaps, this is only an illusion created by the fact that in high level programming language, system calls look like any other function, when a process calls it. But, now let me take a step deeper and analyze more closely on what

How exactly does Thread.interrupt() and Thread.interrupted() work? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here: What does java.lang.Thread.interrupt() do? 9 answers I am not clear regarding these two methods from the perspective of setting the status of the thread. Java Docs say that Thread.interrupt() sets the threads interrupt status flag and calling the Thread.interrupted() method gives the status of the thread and clears the flag. When this comes to use in real scenarios..?? When some other thread calls Thread.interrupt() the method sets Thread's interrupt status flag (initially false) to true. If the Thread is in blocking method like Thread.sleep(), Thread

How are applications and data accessed by the CPU from RAM

问题 I am having a bit of trouble understanding how applications and data are accessed by the CPU from RAM after the application has been loaded into RAM and a file opened (thus data for the file also stored in RAM). By my understanding, a CPU just gets instructions from RAM as the program counter ticks or carries out tasks after an interrupt. How then does it access the application and data. Is it that it doesn't and still just gets instructions (for example to load a file on the hard drive to be

Java SE7 API - Thread: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#yield%28%29 参考资料: http://blog.csdn.net/lqqmisslll/article/details/54208491 一、线程的简介 当JVM启动的时候, 通常会有一个独立的非守护线程(也就是类中的main方法所在的线程).JVM会继续运行,除非发生以下情况: Runtime类的exit()方法被调用,并且安全管理者允许退出发生。 所有非守护线程都已经死了,不管是从run方法中返回的还是因为run方法中抛出了异常。 注意:当所有非守护线程都执行结束(包括主线程),那么守护线程也会退出。因为守护线程是无法脱离非守护线程而独自存在的。 二、创建线程有两种方式: 方法1:声明一个类作为Thread的子类(extends Thread),子类重写(override)Thread类的run()方法。子类的实例可以被分配和start。 //比如:该线程用来计算比指定起始值大的素数。 class PrimeThread extends Thread { long minPrime; PrimeThread(long minPrime) { this.minPrime = minPrime; }

volatile for variable that is only read in ISR?

问题 Is volatile needed for a variable that is read&write in main loop, but read-only in ISR? EDIT: At the moment of writing in main, the ISR is disabled. So, the variable is effectively used atomically. EDIT: (Very much related): volatile vs memory barrier for interrupts 回答1: volatile is a bad way to synchronize access. It is an optimization barrier but not more. it is not atomic; e.g. when your some_type is uint64_t on a platform without native 64 bit datatypes, there might be read only a part.

how quick can the processor handle the interrupts

I was studying about interrupts. So most architecture are interrupt driven, if everything is interrupt driven, how fast the processor can handle all of those. For example, while pressing a key board keys, it creates an interrupt asking the kernel to look for the buffer for new characters, in that case, how fast the processor can serve, also when an interrupt is put, the processor needs to switch to kernel space and that costs a lot in terms of context switch. So I assume, even after all these if the processor has a good performance, then I can only assume that the time between two key strokes

How does the CPU knows which interrupt service routine to run against a hardware interrupt?

For example, a key on a keyboard is press causing a hardware interrupt to be generated to the CPU, the CPU sends an acknowledgement to the interrupt controller. At the stage of the interrupt process, how does the CPU knows which interrupt service routine to run based on a key press on the keyboard? 来源: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48110019/how-does-the-cpu-knows-which-interrupt-service-routine-to-run-against-a-hardware

Making An “Any Key” Interuptable Python Timer

六月ゝ 毕业季﹏ 提交于 2019-12-02 04:50:38
问题 I am trying to make a simple timer which counts up until it is interrupted by keyboard input. right now I am using CTRL+C to stop the timer, but I would like to do something more simple like hitting space or enter or "any key". I hear this can be done with the threading module, but after several attempts I clearly do not know what I am doing with that. this is my current code: def countup(): try: a=0 for i in range(1000000) : print i,'\r', time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: Z = raw_input

问题 There are many threads on SO about interrupting reading the system.in but what I am looking for here is some kind of advice as to how to best code what I am trying to achieve. I have a getlogin() method that needs to do the following: ask a user to input the desired login environnement details, if after 6 seconds user have not input a valid value ("live" or "test") then set userlogin variable to "test" and return it to the caller. I have taken the following approach for the getlogin()
