CSC3150 Assignment 1 Solved

WARNING!!! Before starting on this assignment, make sure you have set up your VM properly. We would test all students' homework using the following environment. You can type the following command in terminal on your VM to see if your configuration matches the test environment. If not, you are still good to go, but please try to test your program with the following environment for at least once. Because you may be able to run your program on your environment, but not on TAs' environment, causng inconvenience or even grade deduction.


If you follow the tutorials then your VM setting should be fine, though verify your environment again is recommended.

Please note that, teaching assistants may ask you to explain the meaning of your program, to ensure that the codes are indeed written by yourself. Please also note that we would check whether your program is too similar to your fellow students’ code using plagiarism detectors. Violation against the format requirements will lead to grade deduction.


Here is the format guide. The project structure is illustrated as below. You can also use tree command to check if your structure is fine. Structure mismatch would cause grade deduction.

Please compress all files in the file structure root folder into a single zip file and name it using

your student id as the code showing below and above, for example,

Assignment_1_118010001.zip. The report should be submitted in the format of pdf, together

with your source code. Format mismatch would cause grade deduction. Here is the sample step

for compress your code.

Task 1 (30 points)


In this task, you should write a program ( program1.c ) that implement the functions below:


In user mode, fork a child process to execute the test program. (10 points)


When child process finish execution, the parent process will receive the SIGCHLD signal by wait() function. (5 points)

There are 15 test programs provided. 1 is for normal termination, and the rest are exception cases. Please use these test programs as your executing programs.

The termination information of child process should be print out. If normal termination, print normal termination and exit status. If not, print out how did the child process terminates and what signal was raised in child process. (15 points)


The main flow chart for Task 1 is:
















































Demo outputs:

Demo output for normal termination:

main@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Assignment_1_example/source/program1$ ./program1

./normal

Process start to fork

I'm the Parent Process, my pid = 4903

I'm the Child Process, my pid = 4904

Child process start to execute test program:

------------CHILD PROCESS START------------

This is the normal program

------------CHILD PROCESS END------------

Parent process receiving the SIGCHLD signal Normal termination with EXIT STATUS = 0

Demo output for hangup:



main@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Assignment_1_example/source/program1$ ./program1

./hangup

Process start to fork

I'm the Parent Process, my pid = 4908

I'm the Child Process, my pid = 4909

Child process start to execute test program:

------------CHILD PROCESS START------------

This is the SIGHUP program

Parent process receiving the SIGCHLD signal child process get SIGHUP signal child process is hung up

CHILD EXECUTION FAILED


Demo output for stopped:



main@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Assignment_1_example/source/program1$ ./program1

./stop

Process start to fork

I'm the Parent Process, my pid = 4931

I'm the Child Process, my pid = 4932

Child process start to execute test program:

------------CHILD PROCESS START------------

This is the SIGSTOP program

Parent process receiveing the SIGCHLD signal child prcess get SIGSTOP signal child process stopped

CHILD PROCESS STOPPED









Task 2 (60 points)


In this task, a template (“program2.c”) is provided. Within the template, please implement the functions below:
When program2.ko being initialized, create a kernel thread and run my_fork function. (10 points)


Within my_fork, fork a process to execute the test program. (10 points)


The parent process will wait until child process terminates. (10 points)


Print out the process id for both parent and child process. (5 points)


Within this test program, it will raise signal. The signal could be caught and related message should be printed out in kernel log. (10 points)


All 15 signals from Tasks 1 should be tested again in Task 2.


Follow the hints below to implement your function. If the function is non-static, you should firstly export this symbol so that it could be used in your own kernel module. After that, you should compile the kernel source code and install it. (Kernel compile: 15 points)


Hints:

Use “_do_fork” to fork a new process. (/kernel/fork.c)


Use “do_execve” to execute the test program. (/fs/exec.c)


Use “getname” to get filename. (/fs/namei.c)


Use “do_wait” to wait for child process’ termination status. (/kernel/exit.c)


The main flow chart for Task 2 is:













































Demo output:
    • 3769.385776] [program2] : module_init

    • 3769.385777] [program2] : module_init create kthread start

    • 3769.385777] [program2] : module_init kthread start

    • 3769.389787] [program2] : The child process has pid = 2914

    • 3769.389793] [program2] : This is the parent process, pid = 2912

    • 3769.391602] [program2] : child process

    • 3769.391604] [program2] : get SIGTERM signal

    • 3769.391605] [program2] : child process terminated

    • 3769.391605] [program2] : The return signal is 15

    • 3773.346070] [program2] : module_exit./my






Bonus Task (10 pionts)


In this task, you should create an executable file named “myfork” to implement the functions below:

Execute “./myfork test_program” will show the signal message that child process executes test_program. (3 points)

We can add multiple executable files as the argument of myfork, like “./myfork


test_program1 test_program2 test_program3”. From second argument, the queue indicates the relationship of parent and child. The proceeding one is parent, and the tailing one is child. For example: test_program_1 is parent of test_program_2, and test_program_2 is the parent of test_program_3. (3 points)

Print out a process tree, which can indicate the relationship of the test programs. For example: 1 -> 2 -> 3 (1/2/3 is the process ID) (4 points)


Demo output:



main@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Assignment_1_117010033/source/bonus$ ./myfork hangup normal8 alarm

------------CHILD PROCESS START------------

This is the SIGALRM program

This is normal8 program

------------CHILD PROCESS START------------

This is the SIGHUP program



---

Process tree: 5712->5713->5714->5715

Child process 5715 of parent process 5714 is terminated by signal 14 (Alarm clock)

Child process 5714 of parent process 5713 terminated normally with exit code 0

Child process 5713 of parent process 5712 is terminated by signal 1 (Hangup)

Myfork process (5712) terminated normally
