Thread Signal Delivery, discusses how Solaris 7 employed a thread called the Asynchronous Lightweight Process (ASLWP) to monitor and deliver pending asynchronous signals. How can this solution be simplified if the operating system represents threads using one-to-one thread mappings?
What will be an ideal response?
In a one-to-one thread mapping, the kernel assigns a kernel thread to each user thread. In this case, the kernel can assign a queue of pending signals to each kernel thread. When the operating system receives a signal for a user thread, it appends the signal to the corresponding kernel thread’s queue of pending signals. When the operating system dispatches the thread, it delivers signals that are in the thread’s queue of pending signals.
