Correct Microkernel Primitives
Primitives are basic means provided by a microkernel to implementors of operating system services. Intensively used within every OS and commonly implemented in a mixture of high-level and assembly programming languages, primitives are meaningful and challenging candidates for formal verification. We report on the accomplished correctness proof of academic microkernel primitives. We describe how...
متن کاملFrom a Proven Correct Microkernel to Trustworthy Large Systems
The seL4 microkernel was the world’s first general-purpose operating system kernel with a formal, machine-checked proof of correctness. The next big step in the challenge of building truly trustworthy systems is to provide a framework for developing secure systems on top of seL4. This paper first gives an overview of seL4’s correctness proof, together with its main implications and assumptions,...
متن کاملSecure Microkernel Operating Systems
This paper reviews the concepts and mechanisms used to improve security in general purpose operating systems. The evolution from makrokernels to microkernels is illustrated, showing different approaches to achieve not only (more) secure but also practical platforms for legacy software applications. The ultimate method of proving correctness by formal verification is revisited. A real-world mikr...
متن کاملPEACE Threads Interface On Microkernel
Recently, thread libraries have become powerful entities to support parallel programming on shared memory multiprocessors and multicomputers. However, the disparity between the primitives offered by the operating systems and thread’s interface creates a challenge for those who wish to create portable threads library. The implementation of PEACE (POSIX Extensions to an Advanced Computing Environ...
