Hello, my knowledgeable friends! :)
1.
As I understand it, the kernel is always running and whenever an app
asks for a system resource the kernel does the needful. However, in my
process tree I see no process named linux or kernel. I only see the init
process at the root of the tree. Does the init process represent the kernel?
2.
When an app does a system call, would some form of IPC between the
process of that app and the kernel process (assuming there is one) be
involved?
3.
When an application uses a library, the app and the library are
processed in DIFFERENT threads in which of the following cases:
1. the library is statically linked
2. the library is dynamically linked
3. the library is loaded using dlopen
My guess is "none of the above", am I right?
These are NOT homework questions! :)
Thanks, as always.
Shriramana Sharma.
