操作系统透明性研究

Research on the Vitrification of Operating System

目前的操作系统存在很多问题,其中的一个原因是透明性不够,用户无法了解操作系统的运行细节,无法观察到操作系统的内部运行机制。Dtrace的推出使用户有可能对操作系统进行全面的观察,但Dtrace是一个专业化的工具,对使用者的要求较高,普通用户无法从中获益。文章提出了一种基于Dtrace的观察系统结构,使普通用户也可方便、直观地观察到操作系统的内部机制,从而提高操作系统的透明度。

The current operating system has many problems, one is that it is unable to know the details of OS and opaque to look into the inside runnable mechanism for uses. The detrusion of Dtrace makes it possible to take the all-sided observation on the OS, but as a professional tool, it is quite demanding so that consumers can＇t benefit from it. The paper designs a Dtrace-based observational system, which allows users conveniently and directly observe the inside run-details of OS and pro- motes the vitrification of OS greatly.
