No matter how you design your VM, IPC, scheduling, or IO subsystems, you will make some customers unhappy. It is argued that an operating system kernel that allows the run-time replacement of modules is an appropriate solution, especially for consumer-oriented environments. The replacement of core kernel modules allows applications to solve feature-deficiency, performance, and version-skew problems. Seamless replacement at run time allows other active applications to continue undisturbed. For example, a primitive virtual memory system might be replaced with one that supports mapped files and copy-on-write. A time-sharing scheduler might be upgraded with one that supports dead-line scheduling. An interprocess communication facility might be replaced to make a particular combination of communication options more efficient. An application known to tickle a bug in an old version of the MMU-handling code might load a more recent version of this machine-dependent code. After reviewing the motivation for this proposal, the author examines existing approaches and dismisses them as inadequate. He then considers run-time module replacement, with the goal of establishing it as a conceivable alternative worthy of further research.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345070,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 4th Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems.

Designers of these systems face a tradeoff between functionality and performance. Systems like Mach provide a set of general abstractions and attempt to handle every situation, which can lead to poor performance for common cases. Other systems, such as Unix, provide a small set of abstractions that can be made very efficient, at the expense of functionality. We are implementing a flexible system building tool, FLEX, that allows us to support a powerful operating systems interface efficiently by constructing specialized module implementations at runtime. FLEX improves the performance of existing systems by optimizing interprocess communications paths and relocating servers and clients to reduce communications overhead. These facilities improve the performance of Unix system calls on Mach from 20-400%. Furthermore, FLEX can dynamically extend the kernel in a controlled fashion, which gives user programs access to privileged data and devices not envisioned by the original operating system implementor.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345070,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 4th Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems.

Shared libraries implement performance critical portions of each system service, while dedicated servers implement the parts of each service that do not require high performance or that are difficult to implement in an application. Dedicated servers might be used, for example, to manage shared state that must persist across process lifetimes or to implement high-level abstractions that are difficult or impossible to provide in a library. Our initial experiments show that this approach to operating system structure can yield performance that is comparable to monolithic kernel systems while retaining all the modularity advantages that led industry to adopt microkernel technology in the first place. Since services reside in libraries, an application is free to use the library that is most appropriate. This approach can even yield better performance than monolithic kernel systems by allowing the shared libraries to be closely coupled with the applications, thereby exploiting application-specific knowledge in policy decisions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345070,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 4th Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems.
