Chapter 13 Kernel Services

   

Chapter 13 investigates the mechanisms in the kernel for supporting communication between processes: semaphores, message queues, shared memory, and signals. The kernel structures that support these features and the kernel tunables that control them are explained. We look at the user interfaces to these facilities and examine the kernel callout system, which allows a process to request a future signal from the kernel.
