....from installation to installation, and grow worse when they vary dynamically. Much of the operating systems research in the past decade has investigated alternative approaches to addressing these diverse requirements. A promising approach is to incorporate customizability into system structure [6, 16, 35, 47, 52]. A customizable operating system can be tuned for the currently observed common conditions. In most implementations of this approach, the ability to be customized is designed into the operating system, but the actual customized code is written by experts and manually injected into the system. We ....

....as being invaluable for programmer productivity. Type and pointer safety is not compromised in any way in PJava. This is a natural consequence of applying the principle of persistence independence. Separation of policy and mechanism is already recognised as desirable in operating system design [Rashid et al. 89] In the operating system context, this is generally achieved by allowing system programmers to supply code that defines policy. Not all application programmers can be expected to provide such code and the finer grained mechanisms in a programming language implementation would be unacceptably ....

....In contrast, when the DMA is to or from an application address space, the driver (or kernel) has to perform VM operations on pages in a different address space. Unfortunately, operating systems do not support this in a uniform way. We briefly describe implementations for the Mach 3. 0 microkernel [19] and DEC OSF 1, and compare them in terms of complexity and performance. In Mach, the required VM operations can be performed on a different address by specifying the appropriate Mach port [20] for the target address space.

....shows many bright ideas as well. To start with, it is distributed in the deepest sense of the word with process migration and communication primitives supported by the kernel. As with Aegis, most of the system runs in user mode, thus enabling fast and easy switching of functionality. Mach Mach [9] [10] is perhaps the most well known microkernel operating system. It was initially developed as a research project at the university of Rochester and continued by Carnegie Mellon University. The goal of Mach is to demonstrate that you can structure operating systems in a modular way. Mach has a ....

....flexible backing storage would enable entirely new kinds of backing storage. For example, backing storage could take advantage of compression, the memory of idle computers [Felten Zahorjan 91] or even lazily calculate rather than fetch data (e.g. the digits of pi) The Mach operating system [Rashid et al. 89] introduced the external pager interface [Young 89] that provides just this functionality. An external pager is a user level server designated to provide the backing storage for one or more memory objects. A memory object is an abstract data container that can be mapped into a clients address ....

....the backing storage operations of external pagers, V Segment Managers 1 can control the mapping of physical pages into an application s virtual address space by calling MigratePages. This unmaps a physical page from one virtual location, and remaps it into another. Other systems such as Mach [Rashid et al. 89] and Chorus [Abrossimov Rozier 89] use remapping to improve the efficiency of bulk data transfers or to increase application performance [Appel Li 91] To service a page fault, a V Segment Manager chooses a frame, then reads the data from backing storage into that frame, and finally ....

.... address space, instead of copying a SharedOnRead parameter, we just share it; there is no change to the copy semantics if the two subsystems are not in the same address space (cf. Figure 1) The SharedOnRead is dearly related to the copy on write mechanism that can be nd in operating system (Mach [15] or Orca [2, 12] are using it) However, the strategy is slightly dioeerent in copy on write technique: you want to copy only when it is necessary instead, with the SharedOnRead mechanism, you want to share data on read operations when it is possible. The mechanism occurs at the user level and is ....

....has often manifested itself as a tendency towards monolithic system implementations which increasingly defy adequate testing and verification, and hinder improvements especially those not conceived within the monolithic framework. In recent years, micro kernels in systems such as Mach [ABG86, RBF89] and Chorus [RAA90] have emerged as a response to the monolithic implementations of operating systems. However, little has been done to tackle the monolithic filing service portion of most kernels. Adding any new features to a filing environment is usually a daunting task which frequently requires ....

....On the Unix system, the proc filesystem [3] is a specific example of making one particular type of entity a Unix process appear as a file. These files can be read to determine the state of a process, and written to effect changes in the state of a process. Operating systems such as Mach [8] provide a generalization of this feature by supporting easilyloadable filesystem code that can be used to provide filesystem interfaces for arbitrary entities. As opposed to these example, we have available to us a general framework for easily extending any type of entity into the realm of ....

....can schedule device driver activity. Because network interfaces are a principal source of asynchronous data and because TCP IP stacks tend to involve copies and other CPU intensive tasks, much of this work has focused on the scheduling of network protocol processing. Microkernels such as Mach [73] and Real Time Mach [88] run device drivers and network protocols in user level servers, allowing them to be scheduled normally. The Scout operating system [64] provides support for paths, channels through a layered communication system that can be explicitly scheduled. Nemesis [49] is a ....
