Microkernel
In computer science, a microkernel (often abbreviated as μ-kernel) is the near-minimum amount of software that can provide the mechanisms needed to implement an operating system (OS). These mechanisms include low-level address space management, thread management, and inter-process communication (IPC). If the hardware provides multiple rings or CPU modes, the microkernel may be the only software executing at the most privileged level, which is generally referred to as supervisor or kernel mode.
Principe de moindre privilège
En informatique, le principe de moindre privilège est un principe qui stipule, selon l'ANSSI, qu'une tâche ne doit bénéficier que de privilèges strictement nécessaires à l'exécution du code menant à bien ses fonctionnalités. En d'autres termes, une tâche ne devrait avoir la possibilité de mener à bien que les actions dont l'utilité fonctionnelle est avérée. Ce principe suppose alors que chaque fonctionnalité ne doit posséder que les privilèges et ressources nécessaires à son exécution, et rien de plus.
Windows Driver Model
In computing, the Windows Driver Model (WDM) - also known at one point as the Win32 Driver Model - is a framework for device drivers that was introduced with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to replace VxD, which was used on older versions of Windows such as Windows 95 and Windows 3.1, as well as the Windows NT Driver Model. WDM drivers are layered in a stack and communicate with each other via I/O request packets (IRPs).
Control register
A control register is a processor register that changes or controls the general behavior of a CPU or other digital device. Common tasks performed by control registers include interrupt control, switching the addressing mode, paging control, and coprocessor control. When IBM developed a paging version of the System/360, they added 16 control registers to the design for what became the 360/67. IBM did not provide control registers on other S/360 models, but made them a standard part of System/370, although with different register and bit assignments.
Supervisor Call instruction
This article covers the specific instruction on the IBM System/360 and successor mainframe computers, and compatible machines. For the general concept of an instruction for issuing calls to an operating system, see System call. A Supervisor Call instruction (SVC) is a hardware instruction used by the System/360 family of IBM mainframe computers up to contemporary zSeries, the Amdahl 470V/5, 470V/6, 470V/7, 470V/8, 580, 5880, 5990M, and 5990A, and others; Univac 90/60, 90/70 and 90/80, and possibly others; the Fujitsu M180 (UP) and M200 (MP), and others; and is also used in the Hercules open source mainframe emulation software.
Segment d'état de tâche
Un segment d'état de tâche ou Task state segment (TSS) est une structure spécifique aux processeurs de la famille x86 où est stockée tout le contexte d'un processus. Son descripteur est placé dans la GDT (Table globale de descripteurs). En tant que segment, les segments d'état de tâche sont référencés par des descripteurs d'état de tâche (TSSD) situés dans la GDT.
