  2. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    After recompiling a kernel binary image from source code, a kernel panic while booting the resulting kernel is a common problem if the kernel was not correctly configured, compiled or installed. [9] Add-on hardware or malfunctioning RAM could also be sources of fatal kernel errors during start up, due to incompatibility with the OS or a missing ...

  3. Linux kernel oops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_oops

    After a system has experienced an oops, some internal resources may no longer be operational. Thus, even if the system appears to work correctly, undesirable side effects may have resulted from the active task being killed. A kernel oops often leads to a kernel panic when the system attempts to use resources that have been lost. Some kernels ...

  4. Kernel page-table isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_page-table_isolation

    The second set of page table for use in user mode contains a copy of user-space and a minimal set of kernel-space handling system calls and interrupts. Kernel page-table isolation (KPTI or PTI, [1] previously called KAISER) [2][3] is a Linux kernel feature that mitigates the Meltdown security vulnerability (affecting mainly Intel 's x86 CPUs ...

  5. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Memory paging. In computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage [a] for use in main memory. [citation needed] In this scheme, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called ...

  6. Kernel (operating system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(operating_system)

    The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer 's operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system. The kernel is also responsible for preventing and mitigating conflicts between different processes. [1] It is the portion of the operating system code that is always resident in memory [2] and ...

  7. Kernel same-page merging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_same-page_merging

    Kernel same-page merging. In computing, kernel same-page merging (KSM), also known as kernel shared memory, memory merging, memory deduplication, and page deduplication is a kernel feature that makes it possible for a hypervisor system to share memory pages that have identical contents between multiple processes or virtualized guests.

    For reference, the laptop in question once hanged and showed a Windows 8 BSOD saying that a "Kernel Data Inpage Error" occurred, then after restarting showed an "operating system not found" error, although it worked fine again after another restart.

  9. General protection fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_protection_fault

    A general protection fault (GPF) in the x86 instruction set architectures (ISAs) is a fault (a type of interrupt) initiated by ISA-defined protection mechanisms in response to an access violation caused by some running code, either in the kernel or a user program. The mechanism is first described in Intel manuals and datasheets for the Intel ...
