Chapter 1 2018 S2 A1 What is the purpose of interrupts? How does an interrupt differ from a trap? Can traps be generated intentionally by a user program? If so, for what purpose?  An interrupt is a hardware-generated change of flow within the system. An interrupt handler is summoned to deal with the cause of the interrupt; control is then returned to the interrupted context and instruction.  A trap is a software-generated interrupt. An interrupt can be used to signal the completion ...

Chapter 1 Some early computers protected the operating system by placing it in a memory partition that could not be modified by either the user job or the operating system itself. Describe two difficulties that you think could arise with such a scheme. a) If the operating system cannot modify the memory, then some important and critical data such as protection and/or security data (e.g. passwords and access control information) necessary for the operating system would have to be passed thr...
