Inter-process interference elimination
View Patent ↗Described herein is an implementation of a technology for the construction, identification, and/or optimization of operating-system processes. At least one implementation, described herein, constructs an operating-system process having the contents as defined by a process manifest. Once constructed, the operating-system process is unalterable.
1. A computer configured with an operating system, the computer comprising:
a processor configured to execute processor-executable instruction streams of one or more operating-system processes;
a memory configured to hold one or more operating-system processes as the processor-executable instruction streams of the one or more processes are executed by a processor;
an inter-process interference eliminator configured to:
analyze the processor-executable instruction stream of a subject operating-system process, which is one of the one or more operating-system processes, to determine if the subject process, when executed, has a potential to interfere with another executing process in the memory;
in response to a determination that the subject process, when executed, has the potential to interfere with another executing process in the memory, adjust the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process to eliminate that potential interference,
wherein the processor is configured to concurrently address memory holding two or more operating-system processes as the processor-executable instruction streams of the two or more processes are executed by a processor.
2. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inter-process interference eliminator is further configured to perform the adjustment a priori execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process.
3. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inter-process interference eliminator is further configured to perform the adjustment during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process.
4. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the concurrently addressing memory holding two or more operating-system processes is based on a run-time or administrative policy.
5. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inter-process interference eliminator is further configured to perform the analysis a priori execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process.
6. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inter-process interference eliminator is further configured to perform the analysis during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process.
7. A computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein one or more actions that adjust the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process to eliminate that potential interference comprise modifying the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject process.
8. A computer as recited in claim 7 , wherein the processor-executable instruction steam is modified to maintain the property of type safety.
9. One or more computer storage media having processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform acts comprising:
obtaining one or more operating-system processes, each process comprising a processor-executable instruction stream;
determining whether a subject operating-system process, when executing, has a potential to interfere with another operating-system process while both processes are executing, the subject operating-system process being one of the one or more operating-system processes.
10. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 9 , the determining act being performed a priori execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
11. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 9 , the determining act being performed during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
12. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 9 further comprising, in response to a determination that the subject operating-system process, when executed, has the potential to interfere with another executing process, adjusting the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process to eliminate that potential interference.
13. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 12 , the adjusting act being performed a priori execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
14. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 12 , the adjusting act being performed during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
15. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 9 , further comprising executing two or more operating-system processes within a common processor-addressable space in a memory.
16. One or more computer storage media having processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform acts comprising:
obtaining one or more operating-system processes, each process comprising a processor-executable instruction stream;
determining whether a subject operating-system process, when executing, has a potential to interfere with another operating-system process while both processes are executing within a common processor-addressable space in a memory, the subject operating-system process being one of the one or more operating-system processes.
17. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 16 , the determining act being performed a priori execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
18. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 16 , the determining act being performed during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
19. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 16 further comprising, in response to a determination that the subject operating-system process, when executed, has the potential to interfere with another executing process, adjusting the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process to eliminate that potential interference.
20. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 19 , the adjusting act being performed a priori or during execution of the processor-executable instruction stream of the subject operating-system process.
