摘要:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for suspending logically related processes associated with an application, determining whether to resume a suspended process based upon one or more wake policies, and/or managing an application state of an application, such as timer and/or system message data. That is, logically related processes associated with an application, such as child processes, may be identified and suspended based upon logical relationships between the processes (e.g., a logical container hierarchy may be traversed to identify logically related processes). A suspended process may be resumed based upon a set of wake policies. For example, a suspended process may be resumed based upon an inter-process communication call policy that may be triggered by an application attempting to communicate with the suspended process. Application data may be managed while an application is suspended so that the application may be resumed in a current and/or relevant state.

Aspects of the present invention are directed at providing safe and efficient ways for a program to perform a one-time initialization of a data item in a multi-threaded environment. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that allows a program to perform a synchronized initialization of a data item that may be accessed by multiple threads. More specifically, the method includes receiving a request to initialize the data item from a current thread. In response to receiving the request, the method determines whether the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item. If the current thread is the first thread to attempt to initialize the data item, the method enforces mutual exclusion and blocks other attempts to initialize the data item made by concurrent threads. Then, the current thread is allowed to execute program code provided by the program to initialize the data item.

A parallel processing method and apparatus for initializing libraries is disclosed. Libraries for an application are identified, an initialization order for the libraries is determined, and the libraries are initialized in asynchronous stages. The initialization order is determined by forming a library tree of the libraries' references and determining a load order for the references according to the levels of the references in the library tree. The asynchronous stages comprise a loading stage that includes a load queue, a snapping stage that includes a snap queue, and an initializing stage that includes an initialize queue.

Operating system virtual memory management for hardware transactional memory. A system includes an operating system deciding to unmap a first virtual page. As a result, the operating system removes the mapping of the first virtual page to the first physical page from the virtual memory page table. As a result, the operating system performs an action to discard transactional memory hardware state for at least the first physical page. Embodiments may further suspend hardware transactions in kernel mode. Embodiments may further perform soft page fault handling without aborting a hardware transaction, resuming the hardware transaction upon return to user mode, and even successfully committing the hardware transaction.

Operating system virtual memory management for hardware transactional memory. A method may be performed in a computing environment where an application running on a first hardware thread has been in a hardware transaction, with transactional memory hardware state in cache entries correlated by memory hardware when data is read from or written to data cache entries. The data cache entries are correlated to physical addresses in a first physical page mapped from a first virtual page in a virtual memory page table. The method includes an operating system deciding to unmap the first virtual page. As a result, the operating system removes the mapping of the first virtual page to the first physical page from the virtual memory page table. As a result, the operating system performs an action to discard transactional memory hardware state for at least the first physical page. Embodiments may further suspend hardware transactions in kernel mode. Embodiments may further perform soft page fault handling without aborting a hardware transaction, resuming the hardware transaction upon return to user mode, and even successfully committing the hardware transaction.

Deterministically resolving cycles in a library tree is disclosed. Resolving cycles supports certain processes such as safe library initialization. Cycles in the library tree are identified; at least one soft link in each identified cycle is identified; and the at least one soft link in each identified cycle is broken. If a cycle has no soft links, notification is provided indicating that the cycle cannot be broken. Identifying at least one soft link in each identified cycle comprises, for each link in the cycle, determining the dependent and supporting libraries; and determining if one or more functions in the supporting library are required for initializing the dependent library.

A method of establishing a protected environment within a computing device including validating a kernel component loaded into a kernel of the computing device, establishing a security state for the kernel based on the validation, creating a secure process and loading a software component into the secure process, periodically checking the security state of the kernel, and notifying the secure process when the security state of the kernel has changed.
