Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable the interoperability between processes configured for pointer authentication and processes that are not configured for pointer authentication. Enabling the interoperability between such processes enables essential libraries, such as system libraries, to be compiled with pointer authentication, while enabling those libraries to still be used by processes that have not yet been compiled or configured to use pointer authentication.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media directed to scheduling threads in a multi-processing environment that can resolve a priority inversion. Each thread has a scheduling state and a context. A scheduling state can include attributes such as a processing priority, classification (background, fixed priority, real-time), a quantum, scheduler decay, and a list of threads that may be waiting on the thread to make progress. A thread context can include registers, stack, other variables, and one or more mutex flags. A first thread can hold a resource with a mutex, the first thread having a low priority. A second thread having a scheduling state with a high priority can be waiting on the resource and may be blocked behind the mutex held by the first process. A scheduler can execute the context of the lower priority thread using the scheduler state of the second, higher priority thread. More than one thread can be waiting on the resource held by the first thread.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to efficiently handling execution of multiple threads to perform various actions. In some embodiments, an application instantiates a queue and a synchronization primitive. The queue maintains a set of work items to be operated on by a thread pool maintained by a kernel. The synchronization primitive controls access to the queue by a plurality of threads including threads of the thread pool. In such an embodiment, a first thread of the application enqueues a work item in the queue and issues a system call to the kernel to request that the kernel dispatch a thread of the thread pool to operate on the first work item. In various embodiments, the dispatched thread is executable to acquire the synchronization primitive, dequeue the work item, and operate on it.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to inter-process communication. In some embodiments, a kernel receives a notification of a communication to be sent from a first thread of a first application to a second thread of a second application. The kernel provides a reply port to the first thread for receiving a reply to the communication from the second thread. The kernel facilitates sending the communication from the first thread to the second thread. The kernel increases an execution priority of the second thread in response to the kernel determining that the reply port and a destination port associated with the second thread are identified in the communication. In some embodiments, the kernel creates the reply port in response to receiving the notification and, in response to detecting the reply has been communicated to the reply port, decreases the execution priority of the second thread and removes the reply port.
