Core Concepts

What is an Operating System?

An operating system is a system software that acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware. It manages and coordinates the use of hardware among the various applications.

Primary Functions:

• Resource Management: Allocates and deallocates CPU, memory, disk, and I/O resources efficiently
• Process Management: Creates, schedules, and terminates user processes
• Memory Management: Manages primary memory (RAM) and secondary storage (disk)
• File System Management: Organizes and manages files and directories on disk
• Device Management: Controls and communicates with hardware devices through drivers
• Security & Protection: Enforces access control and protects system resources from unauthorized access
• User Interface: Provides command-line or graphical interface for user interaction

Key Examples:

• Desktop OS: Windows 10/11, macOS, Ubuntu Linux
• Mobile OS: Android, iOS
• Server OS: Linux, Windows Server
• Real-time OS: QNX, VxWorks

Operating System Architecture

Modern operating systems typically follow a layered architecture:

┌──────────────────────────────┐
│     Applications & Shells    │  (User Programs)
├──────────────────────────────┤
│    System Call Interface     │  (Services provided by OS)
├──────────────────────────────┤
│   OS Kernel (Core)           │
│ - Process Management         │
│ - Memory Management          │
│ - I/O System                 │
│ - File System                │
├──────────────────────────────┤
│      Hardware Layer          │
│ - CPU, RAM, Disk, I/O        │
└──────────────────────────────┘

Evolution of Operating Systems

1. Batch Systems (1950s-1960s): Programs ran sequentially with no user interaction
2. Multiprogramming Systems (1960s-1970s): Multiple programs loaded in memory simultaneously
3. Time-Sharing Systems (1970s): Multiple users could share computer resources
4. Personal Computers (1980s-1990s): Single-user, interactive systems
5. Modern OS (2000s-present): GUI, multitasking, networking, cloud integration

Process Management

What is a Process?

A process is a running instance of a program in memory. When you execute a program, the OS loads it into RAM and creates a process. Each process has its own:

• Process ID (PID): Unique identifier assigned by the OS
• Memory Space: Code segment, data segment, heap, and stack
• Registers: CPU registers for saving execution state
• File Descriptors: References to open files and devices
• Parent-Child Relationships: For process hierarchy

Process vs. Program:

• Program: Passive entity - code on disk (executable file)
• Process: Active entity - program in execution in memory

Process States and Transitions

A process goes through several states during its lifetime:

┌─────────┐
│   NEW   │  Process created, awaiting admission to ready queue
└────┬────┘
     │ (admitted)
     V
┌──────────────┐
│   READY      │  Process ready to execute, waiting for CPU allocation
└────┬────────┘
     │ (dispatch)
     V
┌──────────────┐
│   RUNNING    │  Process currently executing on CPU
└────┬──────┬─┘
     │      │
(wait)│      │ (time slice expired)
     │      │
     V      V
┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐
│ WAITING │ │ READY (Q) │  Moved back to ready queue
└────┬────┘ └─────┬─────┘
     │            │
     └────┬───────┘ (I/O complete)
          V
      ┌──────────────┐
      │   RUNNING    │  Resumes execution
      └────┬─────────┘
           │ (terminate)
           V
      ┌──────────────┐
      │   TERMINATE  │  Process finished, resources released
      └──────────────┘

State Explanations:

• NEW: OS created the process but hasn't admitted it yet
• READY: In main memory, ready to execute whenever CPU available
• RUNNING: Currently executing on CPU
• WAITING: Waiting for event (I/O completion, signal, etc.)
• TERMINATE: Process finished execution; OS releases all resources

Process Control Block (PCB)

The Process Control Block (also called Task Control Block) is a data structure maintained by the OS for each process. It contains:

┌──────────────────────────────┐
│    Process Control Block     │
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ • Process ID (PID)           │
│ • Program Counter (PC)       │
│ • CPU Registers              │
│ • Process State              │
│ • Memory Limits              │
│ • Open Files Table           │
│ • Scheduling Information     │
│ • Accounting Information     │
│ • Parent Process ID          │
│ • Priority                   │
└──────────────────────────────┘

The OS uses PCB during context switching to save and restore process state.

Context Switching

When the OS switches from one process to another, it must save the current process's state and restore the previous process's state. This operation is called context switching.

Steps:

1. Save CPU state in PCB of currently running process
2. Load CPU state from PCB of next process
3. Start executing next process

Overhead:

• Context switching takes CPU time (overhead)
• Too frequent switching reduces efficiency
• Typical context switch time: 0.1 - 10 microseconds

Inter-Process Communication (IPC)

Processes often need to communicate and synchronize with each other. OS provides two main mechanisms:

1. Shared Memory System

Multiple processes access a common memory region for data exchange.

Characteristics:

• Fast Communication: Direct memory access, no system call overhead
• Explicit Synchronization: Must use locks/semaphores to prevent race conditions
• Common in: Single machine applications, multi-threaded applications

Advantages: ✓ Fastest IPC method ✓ Simple to implement for simple data sharing ✓ Efficient for large data transfers

Disadvantages: ✗ Requires careful synchronization ✗ Complex to debug race conditions ✗ Not suitable for network communication

Example (C):

#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Create shared memory segment (1024 bytes)
    int shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, 1024, IPC_CREAT|0666);
    
    // Attach to process address space
    char *shared_mem = (char *)shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
    
    // Write to shared memory
    strcpy(shared_mem, "Hello from Process 1");
    
    // Other process reads this data
    printf("Shared: %s\n", shared_mem);
    
    // Detach
    shmdt(shared_mem);
    
    // Mark for deletion
    shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
    
    return 0;
}

2. Message Passing System

Processes communicate explicitly by sending and receiving messages.

Characteristics:

• Explicit Communication: Clear sender and receiver
• No Shared Memory: Each process has isolated address space
• Synchronization Built-in: Messages can block sender/receiver
• Network Friendly: Can work across network

Message Queue Operations:

#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/msg.h>
#include <string.h>

// Message structure
struct message {
    long type;
    char text[100];
};

int main() {
    // Create message queue
    int qid = msgget(1234, IPC_CREAT|0666);
    
    struct message msg;
    
    // Send message
    msg.type = 1;
    strcpy(msg.text, "Hello receiver");
    msgsnd(qid, &msg, sizeof(msg), 0);
    
    // Receive message
    msgrcv(qid, &msg, sizeof(msg), 1, 0);
    printf("Received: %s\n", msg.text);
    
    // Clean up
    msgctl(qid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
    
    return 0;
}

Comparison: Shared Memory vs. Message Passing

Memory Management

Memory Hierarchy

Computer systems have memory organized in a hierarchy based on speed and size:

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│  CPU Registers              │ ← ~10 bytes, extremely fast, ~1ns
├─────────────────────────────┤
│  L1 Cache                   │ ← ~32KB, very fast, ~4ns
├─────────────────────────────┤
│  L2 Cache                   │ ← ~256KB, fast, ~10ns
├─────────────────────────────┤
│  L3 Cache                   │ ← ~8MB, medium, ~100ns
├─────────────────────────────┤
│  Main Memory (RAM)          │ ← ~4-16GB, slow (~100ns), temporary
├─────────────────────────────┤
│  Secondary Storage (HDD)    │ ← ~1TB, very slow (~10ms), persistent
└─────────────────────────────┘

Key principle: Smaller memory is faster; larger memory is slower but cheaper.

Virtual Memory

Virtual memory allows programs to use more memory than physically available by using disk space as an extension of RAM.

How it works:

1. OS divides physical memory into frames (fixed-size blocks)
2. Programs use virtual addresses (logical addresses)
3. OS maintains page tables to map virtual → physical addresses
4. When needed page not in RAM, it's loaded from disk (page fault)

Benefits:

• Programs can use more memory than physical RAM
• Provides address space isolation between processes
• Enables memory protection
• Allows efficient resource sharing

Page Replacement Algorithms:

When RAM is full and a new page is needed, OS must remove a page:

1. LRU (Least Recently Used): Remove page not used for longest time
2. FIFO (First In First Out): Remove oldest page first
3. Optimal: Remove page needed furthest in future (theoretical)
4. Clock Algorithm: Approximates LRU with simpler mechanism

Memory Allocation Strategies

When allocating memory to a new process, OS chooses from available blocks:

Before Allocation:
[ Free(20) ][ Used(30) ][ Free(50) ][ Used(10) ][ Free(40) ]

Request: 35 units

Allocation Strategies:

1. First Fit: Allocates in first free block (50 units)
   Result: [ Free(20) ][ Used(30) ][ Free(15) ][Used(35)][ Used(10) ][ Free(40) ]

2. Best Fit: Allocates in smallest sufficient block (40 units)
   Result: [ Free(20) ][ Used(30) ][ Free(50) ][ Used(10) ][ Free(5) ][Used(35)]

3. Worst Fit: Allocates in largest block (50 units)
   Result: [ Free(20) ][ Used(30) ][ Free(15) ][Used(35)][ Used(10) ][ Free(40) ]

Comparison:

• First Fit: Fast, may fragment memory
• Best Fit: Better space utilization, slower
• Worst Fit: Larger remaining blocks, slower

Fragmentation

External Fragmentation: Free memory blocks scattered, can't allocate even if total free memory sufficient.

Internal Fragmentation: Allocated memory contains unused space.

CPU Scheduling

Purpose of CPU Scheduling

CPU scheduling is critical because:

• CPU is expensive resource (can't sit idle while processes wait)
• One process should not monopolize CPU
• System should be responsive and fair
• Throughput should be maximized

Scheduling Criteria

Different scheduling algorithms optimize for different criteria:

CPU Scheduling Algorithms

1. First-Come, First-Served (FCFS)

Processes are served in the order they arrive.

Example:

Processes:  P1(8ms)  P2(4ms)  P3(2ms)

Timeline:   |----P1----|--P2--|P3|
            0         8      12  14

Completion Times:
P1: 8ms
P2: 12ms
P3: 14ms

Average Turnaround: (8+12+14)/3 = 11.33ms
Average Waiting: (0+8+12)/3 = 6.67ms

Pros: ✓ Simple to understand and implement ✓ Fair in order of arrival

Cons: ✗ Convoy effect - short jobs wait for long jobs ✗ NOT preemptive in basic form ✗ Poor average waiting time

When to use: Batch systems where fairness is paramount

2. Shortest Job Next (SJN) / Shortest Job First (SJF)

Execute processes with shortest CPU burst time first.

Example:

Same processes in SJF order:

Timeline:   |P3|--P2--|----P1----|
            0  2      6         14

Completion Times:
P3: 2ms
P2: 6ms
P1: 14ms

Average Turnaround: (2+6+14)/3 = 7.33ms  ← Better!
Average Waiting: (0+2+6)/3 = 2.67ms     ← Much better!

Pros: ✓ Minimizes average waiting time (optimal for non-preemptive) ✓ Short jobs penalized less ✓ Good for batch jobs

Cons: ✗ Difficult to predict burst time ✗ Can cause starvation of long jobs ✗ Not suitable for interactive systems

3. Round-Robin (RR)

Each process given fixed time quantum. After quantum expires, process moved to end of queue.

Example (Time Quantum = 4ms):

Processes:  P1(8ms)  P2(4ms)  P3(2ms)

Timeline:
Q1: |P1(4)|P2(4)|P3(2)| P1(4)|
    0     4     8    10    14

Completion Times:
P3: 10ms  (done in Q1 burst 3)
P1: 14ms
P2: 8ms

Average Turnaround: (8+10+14)/3 = 10.67ms
Average Waiting: (6+8+10)/3 = 8ms

Pros: ✓ Fair allocation ✓ No starvation ✓ Good for time-sharing systems ✓ Preemptive, responsive

Cons: ✗ Context switch overhead ✗ Turnaround time depends on quantum and process count ✗ Poor for long processes

Optimal Time Quantum:

• Too small: Excessive context switching
• Too large: Becomes FCFS
• Typical: 10-100ms

4. Priority Scheduling

Each process assigned priority. Higher priority executes first.

Example (Higher number = Higher priority):

Processes:  P1(8ms,pri=3)  P2(4ms,pri=1)  P3(2ms,pri=2)

Order: P2(1) → P3(2) → P1(3)

Timeline:   |--P2--|--P3--|-----P1-----|
            0      4      6          14

Average Waiting: (0+4+6)/3 = 3.33ms

Pros: ✓ Important tasks get preferential treatment ✓ Flexible for different requirements ✓ Used in real systems

Cons: ✗ Low priority processes may starve ✗ Difficult to set priorities dynamically ✗ System/user complexity

Solution to Starvation - Aging: Gradually increase priority of waiting processes.

5. Multilevel Queue Scheduling

System divided into queues for different job types, each with own algorithm.

┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Real-time Jobs (Highest Priority)  │ FCFS
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  System Processes                   │ Priority
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Interactive Jobs                   │ RR
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Batch Jobs (Lowest Priority)       │ FCFS
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

Advantages: ✓ Different algorithms for different job types ✓ System optimization

6. Multilevel Feedback Queue

Processes can move between queues based on behavior.

Example:

Initial: Process enters Queue 0 (RR, quantum=8ms)
         If not done, moves to Queue 1 (RR, quantum=16ms)
         If not done, moves to Queue 2 (FCFS)

Benefits:
- Short jobs finish in Queue 0 (low context switch)
- Long CPU jobs eventually get longer quantum
- I/O bound jobs promoted higher

Preemptive vs. Non-Preemptive Scheduling

Preemptive: OS can interrupt running process if higher priority arrives or time quantum expires. Non-Preemptive: Process runs until completion or voluntarily yields.

Process Synchronization

The Critical Section Problem

When multiple processes access shared data simultaneously, race conditions can occur leading to incorrect results.

Example - Race Condition:

// Shared variable
int counter = 0;
const int ITERATIONS = 1000;

// Process 1
void increment() {
    for(int i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) {
        int temp = counter;        // Read
        temp = temp + 1;           // Compute
        counter = temp;            // Write
    }
}

// Process 2
void increment() {
    for(int i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) {
        int temp = counter;        // Read
        temp = temp + 1;           // Compute
        counter = temp;            // Write
    }
}

// Expected result: counter = 2000
// Actual result: counter might be 1387 or any value < 2000
// Because read-modify-write is NOT atomic!

Why Race Condition Occurs:

Timeline of Execution:
Time | Process 1         | counter | Process 2
-----|------------------|---------|------------------
1    | temp = 0 (read)  | 0       |
2    | temp = temp + 1  | 0       |
3    |                  | 0       | temp = 0 (read)
4    | counter = 1      | 1       |
5    |                  | 1       | temp = 1 + 1
6    |                  | 1       | counter = 2
...Result: Lost increment in Process 1!

Mutual Exclusion Solutions

1. Semaphores

A semaphore is an integer variable that can be accessed only through wait() and signal() operations (also called P and V operations).

// Binary semaphore (0 or 1)
#include <semaphore.h>

sem_t mutex = 1;

// Critical section access
void critical_section() {
    wait(&mutex);              // P() - Decrement, block if 0
    
    // Critical code here - ONLY ONE PROCESS
    counter++;
    
    signal(&mutex);            // V() - Increment, wake waiting process
}

How it works:

Semaphore Value | State
0               | Locked (other process holds lock)
1               | Unlocked (available)

wait(&s):
  if (s > 0)
      s = s - 1
  else
      block and wait

signal(&s):
  s = s + 1
  wake up one waiting process

Advantages: ✓ Simple concept ✓ Efficient implementation ✓ Works for multiple critical sections

2. Monitors

A monitor is a programming language feature that encapsulates shared data with procedures.

public class BankAccount {
    private int balance;
    
    // Synchronized keyword = mutex protection
    public synchronized void deposit(int amount) {
        balance = balance + amount;  // Only one thread at a time
    }
    
    public synchronized void withdraw(int amount) {
        if (balance >= amount)
            balance = balance - amount;
    }
}

Advantages: ✓ Automatic mutual exclusion ✓ Cleaner syntax ✓ Condition variables available

3. Locks and Atomic Operations

Modern approach using explicit locks:

import java.util.concurrent.locks.*;

Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();

void criticalSection() {
    lock.lock();
    try {
        // Critical code - protected
        counter++;
    } finally {
        lock.unlock();    // Always unlock (exception safe)
    }
}

Deadlock

Deadlock occurs when processes are stuck indefinitely waiting for resources held by other waiting processes.

Classic Example - Dining Philosophers:

5 philosophers sit around table with 5 forks
Each needs 2 forks to eat
Each sits down and picks up left fork
Then tries to pick up right fork
But right fork held by neighbor!
Result: All philosophers starving forever

Four Necessary Conditions (ALL must be true):

1. Mutual Exclusion: Resource can't be shared (only one process)
2. Hold and Wait: Process holds resource while waiting for another
3. No Preemption: Resource can't be forcefully taken
4. Circular Wait: Cycle of processes waiting for resources

Deadlock Prevention: Eliminate at least one condition:

1. Break Mutual Exclusion: Share resources (not always possible)
2. Break Hold and Wait: Request all needed resources at once
3. Break No Preemption: Allow preemption (not always safe)
4. Break Circular Wait: Order resources, always request in order

Deadlock Avoidance - Bankers Algorithm: Before granting resource, check if it leads to unsafe state.

Before allocation:
P1 needs: [0,0,1,0]  (resources still needed)
P2 needs: [1,0,1,0]
P3 needs: [0,1,2,0]

Available: [1,1,2,2]

Can we allocate to P1?
Check: If we give to P1 and it finishes, can remaining be satisfied?
If yes: SAFE → allocate
If no: UNSAFE → deny and wait

File Systems

File Concept

A file is a named collection of related information recorded on secondary storage (disk).

File Attributes:

• Name
• Type
• Size
• Location (disk address)
• Created date/time
• Modified date/time
• Owner/Permissions
• Protection (read, write, execute)

File Organization

Sequential File: Data stored and accessed sequentially

File: [Block1]→[Block2]→[Block3]→[Block4]
Good for: Tape backup, sequential processing

Indexed File: Index maintains disk addresses

Index:
Record 1 → Block 5
Record 2 → Block 12
Record 3 → Block 7

Good for: Database files, random access

Directory Structure

Single-level Directory: Simple but limited

/: [file1.txt] [file2.txt] [file3.txt]

Two-level Directory: User directories under system root

/
├── /user1/
│   ├── file1.txt
│   └── file2.txt
└── /user2/
    └── file3.txt

Tree-structured Directory: Hierarchical, most common

/
├── /home/
│   ├── /alice/
│   │   ├── /documents/
│   │   │   └── report.pdf
│   │   └── /photos/
│   └── /bob/
├── /usr/
│   └── /bin/
└── /tmp/

Linux File Permissions in Detail

Permission Symbols:

-rw-r--r-- user group file

│││││││││
││││││││└─ Others: read
│││││││┘── Others: write
││││││┘─── Others: execute
│││││┘──── Group: execute
││││┘───── Group: write
│││┘────── Group: read
││┘─────── Owner: execute
│┘──────── Owner: write
└────────── Owner: read (file type: - = file, d = directory)

Special Permissions:

setuid (4): Allows execution with file owner's privileges
setgid (2): Allows execution with group's privileges  
sticky (1): Only owner can delete file
