我们将带着以下问题去学习什么是系统调用

 

什么是系统调用，有何作用？

操作系统作为用户和计算机硬件之间的接口，需要向上提供一些简单易用的服务。主要包括命令接口和程序接口。其中，程序接口由一组系统调用组成。

 

“系统调用”是操作系统提供给应用程序(程序员/编程人员)使用的接口，可以理解为一种可供应用程序调用的特殊函数，应用程序可以发出系统调用请求来获得操作系统的服务。

问题：操作系统为什么要提供"系统调用"功能？

生活场景：你去学校打印店打印论文，当你按下”打印“之后，打印机开始工作。你的论文打印到一半时，另一位同学按下了”打印“按钮开始打印他自己的论文。最终，打印机还是先打印完你的论文后，再打印另一位同学的论文。

那么如果各个进程可以随意地使用打印机，会发生什么情况？

你的论文打印到一半时，另一位同学按下了”打印按钮“开始打印他自己的论文，结果你的论文就不打印了，开始打印另一位同学的论文...怎么不先来后到了！

解决办法：操作系统提供”系统调用“功能，用户进程想要使用打印机这种共享资源，只能通过系统调用向操作系统发起请求。操作系统会对各个请求进行协调管理。

应用程序通过系统调用请求操作系统的服务。系统中的各种共享资源都由操作系统统一掌握，因此在用户程序中，凡是与资源有关的操作(如存储分配、I/O操作、文件管理等)，都必须通过系统调用的方式向操作系统提出服务请求，由操作系统代为完成。这样可以保证系统的稳定性和安全性，防止用户进行非法操作。

系统调用相关处理涉及到对系统资源的管理、对进程的控制，这些功能需要执行一些特权指令才能完成，因此系统调用的相关处理需要在核心态下进行。

系统调用与库函数的区别

普通应用程序	可直接进行系统调用，也可使用库函数。有的库函数涉及到系统调用，有的不涉及
编程语言	向上提供库函数。有时会将系统调用封装成库函数，以隐藏系统调用的一些细节，使上层系统调用更加方便。
操作系统	向上提供系统调用
裸机

不涉及系统调用的库函数：如"取绝对值"的函数

涉及系统调用的库函数：如最常见的打印"print"函数

系统调用背后的过程

  

 

 int 指令的参数 x 指明了系统调用号。此处的 int 不是整型的意思，其实是interrupt的缩写。

在Linux系统中可以通过  # cat /usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h 或者 # cat /usr/include/asm/unistd_64.h 命令查看系统调用号

系统调用的大致过程：

传递系统调用参数 --》 执行陷入指令(用户态) --》执行系统调用相应服务程序(核心态)--》返回用户程序

注意事项

1.陷入指令是在用户态执行的，执行陷入指令之后立即引发一个内中断，从而CPU进入核心态

2.发出系统调用请求是在用户态，而对系统调用的相应处理在核心态下进行

3.陷入指令是唯一一个只能在用户态执行，而不可在核心态执行的指令

 总结

系统调用会使处理器从用户态进入核心态(非常重要)。
