Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 13

Questão

  • An instruction that leads to buffer overflow
  • Any instruction sent to the CPU when close to using max RAM
  • Any instruction performed by incompatible hardware.

Questão 19

Questão
What happens when a trap instruction occurs?
Responda
  • Control is switched to the OS at a specific location
  • The OS checks to see what caused the trap to occur
  • Grant access or perform terminate the process if the instruction was illegal.
  • A system call

Questão 20

Questão
