The Kernel is nothing but a computer program that controls everything else. Anything that happens on the computer goes through it. In this post, we will discuss what a kernel is in an OS and the different types of Kernels. What is a Kernel in OS ...
Although the Linux-based operating systems dominate the most of computing, it still carries some of the design flaws which were quite a bit of debate in the early days of Linux. For example, it has the largest footprint and the most complexity over the other types of kernels. But it's ...
Web3os Package Manager Expand Web3os Package Manager The 3pm command can be used to manage installed packages. Installing a package adds an entry to /config/packages and all packages in this file are loaded on startup. Packages are generally ES Modules, located at a url that contains a ...
I recently discovered an interesting option KBUILD_MIXED_TREE in the Makefile of the Android kernel tree, which I found to be helpful in giving us an idea of how the device manufacturer builds the device modules for the devices that ship with the GKI kernel, and I was surprised that there...
Install the mainline kernel in an installed environment, restart, and choose this newly installed kernel. Build a live environment with the new kernel in it. Given the amount of effort involved in doing this, it is easiest to use an installed OS to test the mainline kernel. ...

Then, generate an NMI from the respective platform and verify that a full vmcore has been generated in the dump path. For more information on Non-Maskable Interrupts, please refer toAn Introduction to Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMIs)andWhat is an NMI and what can I use it for?at our Knowled...
When profiling an application with NVIDIA Nsight Compute, the behavior is different. The user launches the NVIDIA Nsight Compute frontend (either the UI or the CLI) on the host system, which in turn starts the actual application as a new process on the target system. While host and target ...
The halting of program execution is implemented in the form of a kernel bug check: when an access is made to memory bytes marked as invalid in the shadow, KASAN triggers aKASAN_ILLEGAL_ACCESS (0x1F2)bug check. The parameters of this bug check include useful information for debugging, such...
Previous high-performance computing systems have scaled in specific cases, but the dynamic nature of modern client and server workloads, coupled with the impossibility of statically optimizing an OS for all workloads and hardware variants pose serious challenges for operating system st...
