Each user-level thread maps to kernel thread
Examples Windows NT/XP/2000 Linux Solaris 9 and later
![Page 16: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

14.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Two-level Model
Similar to M:M, except that it allows a user thread to be bound to kernel thread
Examples IRIX HP-UX Tru64 UNIX Solaris 8 and earlier
![Page 20: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

14.21 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Thread Libraries
Thread library provides programmer with API for creating and managing threads
Two primary ways of implementing Library entirely in user space Kernel-level library supported by the OS
![Page 22: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
14.22 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Pthreads
May be provided either as user-level or kernel-level
A POSIX standard (IEEE 1003.1c) API for thread creation and synchronization
API specifies behavior of the thread library, implementation is up to development of the library
Common in UNIX operating systems (Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X)
![Page 23: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
14.23 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Java Threads
Java threads are managed by the JVM
Java threads may be created by: Implementing the Runnable interface

14.30 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Threading Issues
Semantics of fork() and exec() system calls
Thread cancellation of target thread Asynchronous or deferred
Signal handling
Thread pools
Thread-specific data
Scheduler activations
![Page 31: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
14.31 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Semantics of fork() and exec()
Does fork() duplicate only the calling thread or all threads?
![Page 32: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
14.32 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Thread Cancellation
Terminating a thread before it has finished
Two general approaches: Asynchronous cancellation terminates the target thread
immediately Deferred cancellation allows the target thread to periodically
check if it should be cancelled
![Page 33: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
14.33 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Signal Handling
Signals are used in UNIX systems to notify a process that a particular event has occurred.
A signal handler is used to process signals.
1. Signal is generated by particular event
2. Signal is delivered to a process
3. Signal is handled
Options: Deliver the signal to the thread to which the signal applies Deliver the signal to every thread in the process Deliver the signal to certain threads in the process Assign a specific threa to receive all signals for the process
![Page 34: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
14.34 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Thread Pools
Create a number of threads in a pool where they await work.
Advantages: Usually slightly faster to service a request with an existing thread
than create a new thread. Allows the number of threads in the application(s) to be bound to
the size of the pool.
![Page 35: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
14.35 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Thread Specific Data
Allows each thread to have its own copy of data
Useful when you do not have control over the thread creation process (i.e., when using a thread pool)
![Page 36: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
14.36 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Scheduler Activations
Both M:M and Two-level models require communication to maintain the appropriate number of kernel threads allocated to the application
Scheduler activations provide upcalls - a communication mechanism from the kernel to the thread library
This communication allows an application to maintain the correct number kernel threads
![Page 37: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

14.40 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Windows XP Threads
Implements the one-to-one mapping, kernel-level
Each thread contains A thread id Register set Separate user and kernel stacks Private data storage area
The register set, stacks, and private storage area are known as the context of the threads
The primary data structures of a thread include: ETHREAD (executive thread block) KTHREAD (kernel thread block) TEB (thread environment block)
![Page 41: Chapter 4: Threads](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/56815e34550346895dcc95df/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
14.41 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition
Linux Threads
Linux refers to them as tasks rather than threads
Thread creation is done through clone() system call
clone() allows a child task to share the address space of the parent task (process)
