描述

Dear OxAX , Thanks for your efforts for writing "Linux Inside" . It has cleared most of my doubts. I request you to please elaborate few technical doubts about System call .

  1. System call in multitasking environment : a. What will happen if higher priority task need system resources by SYSCALL but already lower priority task's SYSCALL in running ( kernel code is executing ) ?

b. During one system call multitasking / multi threading is still possible or only one thread will have access to SYSCALL ?

  1. System call during External / Peripheral interrupt : a. what will happen if external interrupt or higher priority pheripheral interrupt triggers while processing SYSCALL ?

Request you to please reply on this & if possible please add explanation in "Linux Inside"

Regards, Gaurav

研究方向
Investigate the Linux kernel syscall entry points (e.g., arch/x86/kernel/entry 64.S) and scheduling mechanism (kernel/sched/core.c) to explain how system calls interact with multitasking. Also analyze interrupt handling code (kernel/irq/) to describe what happens when an interrupt occurs during a syscall. Consider adding a new section to the linux insides book covering these scenarios.
