Chapter 13. Kernel Services

   

In addition to managing the system hardware and scheduling processes, the kernel provides a variety of services to both user applications and kernel subsystems. The services we most commonly associate with the kernel the system calls are covered in Chapter 4, "Programs, Processes, and Threads." The kernel also provides a variety of services to other subsystems within the kernel. In this chapter, we look at what some of those services are and how they are handled.
