  2. 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 ...

  3. ATAPI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATAPI

    ATAPI. ATAPI ( ATA Packet Interface) is a protocol used with the Parallel ATA (IDE) and Serial ATA standards so that a greater variety of devices can be connected to a computer than with the ATA command set alone. It carries SCSI commands and responses through the ATA interface. ATAPI devices include CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives, tape drives ...

  4. Machine-check exception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

    On Linux, the kernel writes messages about MCEs to the kernel message log and the system console. When the MCEs are not fatal, they will also typically be copied to the system log and/or systemd journal .

    procfs. The proc filesystem ( procfs) is a special filesystem in Unix-like operating systems that presents information about processes and other system information in a hierarchical file-like structure, providing a more convenient and standardized method for dynamically accessing process data held in the kernel than traditional tracing methods ...

  7. Linux kernel interfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_interfaces

    The system call interface of a kernel is the set of all implemented and available system calls in a kernel. In the Linux kernel, various subsystems, such as the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM), define their own system calls, all of which are part of the system call interface. Various issues with the organization of the Linux kernel system calls ...

    Linux. systemd, a software suite providing system components for the Linux operating systems, implements a blue screen of death similar to those of Microsoft Windows using a systemd unit called systemd-bsod since August 2023, which was fully added on December 6, 2023 starting with version 255 of systemd.

  9. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    One example is the Linux kernel's EDAC subsystem (previously known as Bluesmoke), which collects the data from error-checking-enabled components inside a computer system; besides collecting and reporting back the events related to ECC memory, it also supports other checksumming errors, including those detected on the PCI bus.
