Signals APUE (Signals) Signals are software interrupts from unexpected events • an illegal operation (e. g. , divide by 0) • a power failure • an alarm clock • the death of a child process • a termination request from a user (Ctrl-C) • a suspend request from a user (Ctrl-Z) Process Signal #8 Page 2 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

Predefined Signals (1/2) APUE (Signals) 31 signals • /usr/include/signal. h (/usr/include/sys/iso/signal_iso. h, /usr/include/bits/signum. h) Every signal has a name • begin with ‘SIG’ • SIGABRT: abort signal from abort() • SIGALRM: alarm signal from alarm() Actions of the default signal handler • terminate the process and generate a core(dump) • ignores and discards the signal(ignore) • suspends the process (suspend) • resume the process Page 3 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

Signal Generation APUE (Signals) Terminal-generated signals • CTRL-C SIGINT • CTRL-Z SIGSTP signal Hardware excepts generate signals • divide by 0 SIGFPE • invalid memory reference SIGSEGV kill() • sends any signal to a process or process group • need to be owner or super-user Software conditions • SIGALRM: alarm clock expires • SIGPIPE: broken pipe • SIGURG: out-of-band network data Page 6 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

Handling of Signals APUE (Signals) Disposition or action: Process has to tell the kernel “if and when this signal occurs, do the following. ” Ignore the signal: all signals can be ignored, except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP Catch the signal: Call a function of ours when a signal occurs. Let the default action apply: most are to terminate process Page 7 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

Representative UNIX Signals (1/2) SIGART APUE (Signals) : generated by calling the abort function. SIGALRM : generated when a timer set with the alarm expires. SIGCHLD : whenever a process terminates or stops, the signal is sent to the parent. SIGCONT : this signal sent to a stopped process when it is continued. SIGFPE : signals an arithmetic exception, such as divide-by-0, floating point overflow, and so on SIGILL : indicates that the process has executed an illegal hardware instruction. SIGINT : generated by the terminal driver when we type the interrupt key and sent to all processes in the foreground process group. Page 8 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

Representative UNIX Signals (2/2) SIGKILL APUE (Signals) : can’t be caught or ignored. a sure way to kill any process. SIGPIPE : if we write to a pipeline but the reader has terminated, SIGPIPE is generated. SIGSEGV : indicates that the process has made an invalid memory reference. ( core dumped) SIGTERM : the termination signal sent by the kill(1) command by default. SIGSTP : Cntl-Z from the terminal driver which is sent to all processes in the foreground process group. SIGUSR 1 : user defined signal 1 SIGUSR 2 : user defined signal 2 Page 9 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

signal() APUE (Signals) Signal Handler 등록 signal(int signo, void(*func)())) • specify the action for a signal (signo func) • func − SIG_IGN (ignore) − SIG_DFL (default) − user-defined function • Return: the previous func Page 10 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

예제: alarm 1. c (w/o handler) APUE (Signals) #include <stdio. h> // alarm 1. c main( ) { alarm(3); printf(“Looping forever …n”); while (1); printf(“This line should never be executedn”); } Page 11 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

예제: alarm 2. c (w/ handler) (1/2) APUE (Signals) #include <stdio. h> // alarm 2. c #include <signal. h> int alarm. Flag=0; void alarm. Handler(); main( ) { signal(SIGALRM, alarm. Handler); alarm(3); printf("Looping …n"); while(!alarm. Flag) { pause( ); } printf("Loop ends due to alarm signal n"); } void alarm. Handler( ) { printf("An alarm clock signal was receivedn"); alarm. Flag = 1; } Page 12 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

SIGCHLD APUE (Signals) Whenever a process terminates or stops, the signal is sent to the parent. 자식 프로세스는 자신이 죽을 때, 부모 프로세스에게 SIGCHLD를 보낸다. Page 16 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

예제: timelimit. c (1/3) APUE (Signals) $ timelimit N command // command를 N seconds안에 수행하라! #include <stdio. h> // timelimit. c #include <signal. h> int delay; void child. Handler( ); main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int pid; sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &delay); signal(SIGCHLD, child. Handler); // delay = strtol(argv[1], 0, 0); pid = fork(); if (pid == 0) { // child execvp(argv[2], &argv[2]); perror("Limit"); } else { // parent sleep(delay); printf("Child %d exceeded limit and is being killedn", pid); kill(pid, SIGINT); } } Page 17 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

예제: timelimit. c (2/3) APUE (Signals) child. Handler( ) /* Executed if the child dies before the parent */ { int child. Pid, child. Status; child. Pid = wait(&child. Status); printf(“Child %d terminated within %d secondsn”, child. Pid, delay); exit(0); } Page 18 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

kill(), raise() APUE (Signals) #include <sys/types. h> #include <signal. h> int kill(pid_t pid, int signo); int raise(int signo); Both return: 0 if OK, 1 on error kill - sends a signal to a process or a group of processes raise - function allows a process to send a signal to itself Page 20 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

kill() APUE (Signals) pid means • pid > 0 : signal to the process whose process ID is pid • pid == 0 : signal to the processes whose process group ID equals that of sender • pid < 0 : signal to the processes whose process group ID equals abs. of pid • pid == -1 : unspecified (used as a broadcast signal in SVR 4, 4. 3 + BSD) Permission to send signals • The super-user can send a signal to any process. • The real or effective user ID of the sender has to equal the real or effective user ID of the receiver. Page 21 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

alarm() APUE (Signals) #include <unistd. h> unsigned int alarm (unsigned int seconds); Returns: 0 or number of seconds until previously set alarm() sets a timer to expire at a specified time in future. • when timer expires, SIGALRM signal is generated, • default action of the signal is to terminate the process. Only one alarm clock per process • previously registered alarm clock is replaced by the new value. if alarm(0), a previous unexpired alarm is cancelled. Page 22 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

pause() APUE (Signals) #include <unistd. h> int pause (void); Returns: -1 with errno set to EINTR suspends the calling process until a signal is caught. returns only if a signal handler is executed and that handler returns. • 그냥 종료하던지 (signal handler가 등록되지 않은 경우), • signal handler가 등록된 경우 해당 handler가 처리를 마친 후 리턴한다. Page 23 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

예제: mysleep. c (1/2) #include APUE (Signals) <signal. h> // mysleep. c <unistd. h> static void sig_alrm(int signo) { return; /* nothing to do, just return to wake up the pause */ } unsigned int mysleep(unsigned int nsecs) { if (signal(SIGALRM, sig_alrm) == SIG_ERR) return nsecs; alarm(nsecs); /* start the timer */ pause(); /* next caught signal wakes us up */ return alarm(0); /* turn off timer, return unslept time */ } 상기 mysleep() 함수는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 문제점을 안고 있다. • 만일 mysleep()을 사용하기 이전에 alarm을 set한 경우, 앞서의 alarm이 지워진다. • Race condition이 발생할 수 있다(즉, pause()가 호출되기 전에 alarm이 발생할 수 있다. ). 상기 문제 해결을 위해서는 보다 견고한 mysleep()의 구현이 필요하다.

abort() (1/2) APUE (Signals) #include <stdlib. h> void abort(void); This function never returns Causes abnormal program termination. This function sends the SIGABRT signal to the process. SIGABRT signal handler to perform any cleanup that it wants to do, before the process terminated. Page 26 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

abort() (2/2) APUE (Signals) Page 27 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon

sleep() APUE (Signals) #include <signal. h> unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds) ; Returns: 0 or number of unslept seconds This function causes the calling process to be suspended until either • The amount of wall clock time specified by second has elapsed (returns 0) • A signal is caught by the process and the signal handler returns (returns the number of unslept seconds) Page 28 UNIX System Programming by Yang-Sae Moon
