Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a dynamic alias page table are provided. With the apparatus and method, alias page table entries are added to an alias page table dynamically by determining if the alias page table has space for the entry and, if so, the entry describing the virtual address to physical address mapping is added to the alias page table and a successful completion is returned to the virtual memory manager. If the alias page table does not have space for the entry, a new page is used to map the next virtual page of the alias page table. This page must be marked as a fixed page if it not so marked already. This page is pinned in the software page frame table, and the hardware page table entry for this page is also pinned.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for broadcasting information. A change in data used by a number of processors in the data processing system is identified. A message is sent to the number of processors in the data processing system in which the message is sent with a priority level equal to a set of routines that use the data in response to identifying the change. This message is responded to only when the recipient is at an interrupt priority less favored than the priority of the message. A flag is set for each of the number of processors to form a plurality of set flags for the message in which the plurality of set flags are located in memory locations used by the number of processors in which the plurality of set flags remains set until a response is made to the message.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products for removal of elements from a linked list while other elements of the linked list are allowed to be accessed during the removal operation. In one embodiment, the method, apparatus and computer program product include identifying an add/remove area of a linked list and a static area of the linked list. Elements may only be added or removed from the linked list in the add/remove area or by a garbage collector that performs garbage collection only on elements in the static area of the linked list. The garbage collector identifies an element after the last element in the add/remove area and performs garbage collection beginning with that element and moving through the static area. In an alternative embodiment, a “next element” pointer in a previous list element is set to point to the element being deleted's “next element” pointer. Any global references to the element being deleted must be modified. A message may then be issued to the processors of a multiprocessor system at a same interrupt priority as a reading process priority. Once the processors respond to the message, garbage collection may be performed on the element to be deleted.

Abstract translation: 用于从链表移除元素的方法，装置和计算机程序产品，而在删除操作期间允许访问链表的其他元素。 在一个实施例中，方法，装置和计算机程序产品包括标识链表的添加/删除区域和链表的静态区域。 元素可能只能在添加/删除区域中的链接列表中添加或删除，或者只能在链表的静态区域中的元素上执行垃圾回收。 垃圾收集器在add / remove区域中的最后一个元素之后识别一个元素，并执行从该元素开始的垃圾回收，并通过静态区域移动。 在替代实施例中，先前列表元素中的“下一元素”指针被设置为指向被删除的元素“下一元素”指针。 必须修改对要删除的元素的全局引用。 然后可以以与读取过程优先级相同的中断优先级向多处理器系统的处理器发出消息。 一旦处理器响应消息，可以对要删除的元素执行垃圾收集。

Abstract: A system and method of allocating contiguous real memory in a data processing system. A memory controller within system memory receives a request from a data processing system component for a contiguous block of memory during operation of the data processing system. In response to receiving the request, the memory controller selects a candidate contiguous block of memory. Then, after temporarily restricting access to the candidate contiguous block of memory, the memory controller identifies a set of frames currently in use within the candidate contiguous block of memory, relocates the set of frames, and allocates the candidate block of memory for exclusive use by the requesting data processing component. The allocation of contiguous real memory occurs dynamically during the operation of the data processing system.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing frames. Frames intended for isolation are identified in which the frames include in-use frames and free frames. Reservation of free frames from the frames identified as intended for isolation is requested. Successfully reserved frames are moved to an isolation list. In-use frames are marked, and unisolated/unmarked frames are identified. Any free frames in the unisolated frames are moved to the isolation list. In-use frames in the unisolated frames are marked and reservation of the in-use frames in the unisolated frames is released.
