8 years ago - Running process makes a system call
- Function places the arguments passed to the call and an id specific to the system call in the relevant CPU registers.
- Generates an system call interrupt
- The kernel then receives the interrupt and looks up the required routine in a system call table.
- The kernel runs the routine, returning to the point in user code where the system call was made when complete.
Describe the general method for executing a system call.
