Description

[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PROCESS ADDRESS SPACE [0002]

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling use of various computer resources expressed in a physical memory space of a process address space used by a user application program.

In modern operating systems, a virtual address space is created from the viewpoint of the process by using the virtual memory technique, and the data is freely loaded in the corresponding address space, and this space is divided into several parts depending on the level of use. For example, on a 32-bit Linux operating system, an application is given 4 GB of virtual address space by default, 3 GB of which is the user address space and the remaining 1 GB is the kernel address space.

The user application accesses and executes code and data in the kernel address space as needed. This is handled by address mapping, in which the contents of the actual physical memory are mapped to the user address space and the kernel address space, respectively. Here, among the address spaces mapped to the application program, the kernel address space is configured to be shared by all application programs. For example, on a 32-bit Linux operating system, the 1 GB kernel address space is shared in the virtual address space of all applications. This sharing, however, leads to unintended problems. For example, user applications with fraudulent intent may access device drivers of devices that should not be accessed, steal data, or cause problems such as system hacking through unintended execution.

This virtual memory technique is widely used to protect the memory of a computer device and provide a stable computing environment. For example, when only the actual physical memory space is used without using the virtual memory technique, a process having a capacity larger than the size of the main memory of the computer can not be loaded in the memory, and therefore, execution is impossible. A typical example of an application using the com extension of MS-DOS is physical memory only.

If the user performs a process that exceeds the size of the computer's main memory while using the computer, the user will encounter a system failure screen. Virtual memory techniques are designed to overcome these limitations.

In addition, the virtual memory technique prevents a process running in the operating system from accessing memory in an area not allocated to itself, thereby preventing a bug in the process from affecting the operation of another process, It is also responsible for preventing unauthorized access to the system.

Using the virtual memory technique, a virtual address space is created from the viewpoint of the process and is mapped to the actual physical memory space. Generally, the process address space created to execute an application consists of a space for access in user mode and a space for access in system mode. The operating system is responsible for setting up and managing the process address space entirely. Therefore, the entire operating system must be a Trusted Computing Base (TCB). If the operating system is exposed to an external attack, the security of the entire system is compromised.

It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention. Like reference numerals are used for like elements in describing each drawing.

The terms first, second, A, B, etc. may be used to describe various elements, but the elements should not be limited by the terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, the second component may also be referred to as a first component. And / or < / RTI > includes any combination of a plurality of related listed items or any of a plurality of related listed items.

It is to be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected or connected to the other element, . On the other hand, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another element, it should be understood that there are no other elements in between.

The terminology used in this application is used only to describe a specific embodiment and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the present application, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like are used to specify that there is a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a component or a combination thereof described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries are to be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the contextual meaning of the related art and are to be interpreted as either ideal or overly formal in the sense of the present application Do not.

First, the terms used in the present application are defined as follows.

Physical memory space is the space in which the physical address used to access the main memory of the computer is loaded in the address register and is accessible as such physical address. Also called Physical Address Space, it is the same as the physical memory space of the computer. One of the most representative examples of using physical memory space is a program of the com extension type of MS-DOS. The physical memory space alone can not place a process having a capacity larger than the size of the main memory of the computer in memory, . Virtual memory techniques are designed to overcome these limitations.

A kernel is a part of an operating system that performs resource allocation for a process that constitutes the operating system and a program that is executed under the control of the operating system. For example, the kernel of the Linux operating system consists of process control blocks and file systems, such as process scheduler, interprocess communication, synchronization, process space control, device drivers, and power management.

On the other hand, in order to communicate with the kernel area of the operating system and the user application, a command interpreter is required which reads the sentences inputted by the user and executes the system functions requested by the sentences. shell. That is, the operating system may be divided into a shell, which is in contact with the user application, and a kernel, which is a set of actual sub routines.

As the term used in the present invention, an authority refers to whether or not any computer resources can be used. Permission to use at this time is called authorization. Here, the computer resources include both the software and the hardware contained in the computer device. And may include various libraries, various modules in the kernel area of the operating system, device drivers, and the like.

The primary reason for managing these privileges is to ensure that only authorized users access the authorized resources to secure the data. The authorization management infrastructure may vary depending on the type of computer resources to be used and the need for rights management. For example, it is possible to manage only the access permission for arbitrary computer resources, or to manage different access rights according to a subject who accesses computer resources.

A page table is a term used when a paging technique, one of the virtual memory techniques, is used. The paging technique is a technique of organizing all the virtual memory devices into blocks of the same size, and the blocks of the same size are referred to as pages. One process has one page table. The page table lists the page number and the starting address of the physical memory allocated to that page. By referring to the page table, the physical memory address allocated to the process can be known.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the structure of a general computer device.

Referring to FIG. 1, a general computer device 10 may be configured as follows. The hardware of the computer device 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU), which is a brain of a computer, a storage device for storing programs and data used by the computer, An audio device, a power source, and a network device. Storage devices usually use two terms, storage and memory. In general, the term storage refers to an auxiliary storage device. When referring to a main storage device and a cache memory device, the term memory Lt; / RTI >

If it is assumed that such hardware is at the bottom, it is the kernel area 200 of the operating system that directly controls the hardware to control the hardware. Thus, the kernel area 200 may be conceptually thought to be located directly above the hardware. There are two main functions of the kernel: file management and process management. Process management can consist of modules such as inter-process communication, scheduling between processes, and memory management of processes. These kernel modules are closely related to each other, and how organically and efficiently manage them will determine the kernel performance of the operating system.

It may be referred to as a shell to provide an interface for communicating with the user application program to the kernel area 200. Thus, the shell may be conceptually thought to be located at the top of the kernel area 200, and the user application may be considered to be at the top.

2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a structure of a computer apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the case where the general computer device 20 and the memory management device 100 exist outside the kernel area 200 can be understood in comparison with each other.

In the kernel area 200 of the operating system, there are control modules related to files and processes that can control the hardware. As an example of a Linux operating system, a directory in Linux is in the form of a tree structure, which contains the source code for the Linux kernel under the / usr / src / linux directory. When the source code of these Linux kernels is compiled and the computer is booted, the contents of the Linux kernel are loaded onto the operating system.

Thus, it is possible to directly modify the source code of the Linux kernel, or to modify or delete some or all of the source code contents related to the memory management module 210 of the Linux kernel area 200 and to compile the Linux kernel source code. At this time, the memory management module 210 can be directly coded and compiled in the area outside the Linux kernel on behalf of part or all of the source code of the modified or deleted memory management module 210. In this case, the memory management can be used by the developer himself or herself without using the functions provided by the Linux operating system. Even if the unintentional kernel area 200 is damaged, the memory management part defined by the developer May not be damaged.

At this time, the memory management apparatus 100 outside the kernel can exchange commands with the user application program through the shell, and can communicate with the kernel area 200 or directly with the hardware.

3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a memory management apparatus 100 and components according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the memory management apparatus 100 for executing an application program in a computer device is configured to execute a program for executing an application program, A memory control request unit 120 for extracting identification information of a resource and a process address space in which a memory address of an application program and a computer resource are mapped based on the privilege information and the identification information outside the kernel area 200 of the computer apparatus And a memory controller 130 for controlling the memory controller 130.

An authority for a certain user application to use computer resources in the computer device can be managed by the memory management device 100 and the memory control requesting part 120 can extract the right information. In addition, the computer resources can be uniquely identified and identification information including information mapped to the physical memory space 300 can be extracted. The memory control request unit 120 can request the memory control by transmitting the extracted authority information and the identification information to the memory control unit 130. [

The memory control unit 130 can map a process and a sub-process generated by executing the application program to computer resources based on the right information and the identification information received from the memory control request unit 120. [ The process address space containing this mapped information may be created in the virtual memory space of the computer device.

The memory management device 100 can replace some or all of the memory management module 210 that is located outside the kernel area 200 of the computer device and that is embedded in the kernel area 200. [

In the general kernel area 200 of the operating system, there is a memory management module 210 that is responsible for mapping the process address space to computer resources. The memory management apparatus 100 according to the present invention may modify or delete some or all of the source code contents related to the memory management module 210 of the kernel area 200 and may instead modify or delete the contents of the memory management module 210 ) Can be directly developed and compiled. In this case, the developer can use the function developed by himself or herself, and the memory management portion defined by the developer may not be damaged even though the unintended kernel area 200 is damaged.

4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a general process address space.

Referring to FIG. 4, the physical memory space 300 stores various sub-processes required for executing the current application program. Specifically, sub-processes such as application program 1, application program 2, library 1, kernel module 1, kernel module 2, device 1 driver, and device 2 driver are loaded.

In the first process address space 310, various data required in the physical memory space 300 are mapped in driving the application program 1. The application program 1 and the library 1 are mapped to the user address area, In the area, subprocesses of all kernel memory areas such as kernel module 1, kernel module 2, device 1 driver, and device 2 driver are mapped.

In the second process address space 320, various data necessary in the physical memory space 300 are mapped in driving the application program 2. The application program 2 and the library 1 are mapped to the user address area, In the area, subprocesses of all kernel memory areas such as kernel module 1, kernel module 2, device 1 driver, and device 2 driver are mapped.

Here, the kernel address area of the first process and the kernel address area of the second process are configured to be completely identical, and the same situation arises even if a third process is created. Also, among the user address areas of the first process, the same area is also mapped in the library 1.

The interval indicated by X in the two process address spaces is an interval in which actual memory mapping is not performed, and a page fault occurs in the access request for the corresponding interval.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a process address space generated as a result of process address space control according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. Fig.

5 to 6 and FIG. 3 described above, the memory management apparatus 100 may further include a mapping information storage unit 140 for storing the right information and the identification information.

The memory control request unit 120 extracts the right information and the identification information stored in the mapping information storage unit 140 and transmits the extracted right information and the identification information to the memory control unit 130, .

The authority information may be set before execution of the application program, or may be generated when the application program is executed.

When an application is executed, a process necessary for executing the application is created. This process is constituted by a sub-process. In some cases, an application runs solely on its own, but in most cases it is often run using other computer resources, and the process to run other computer resources is called a subprocess. For example, if an application is to read and update a database, a process is required to open the database and write to that database instance. That is, the database process is required as a subprocess.

In addition, if an application program broadcasts a message over a network to which it belongs via an Ethernet card, a process for driving the Ethernet card is required, and a sub-process of the device driver of the Ethernet card is required .

The memory management apparatus 100 of the present invention may set and store an application program having a certain authority with respect to computer resources and may store the authority information by analyzing the generated sub- Can be generated. The authority information may be stored in the mapping information storage unit 140. [

The computer resources may include at least one of a library, a kernel module, and a device driver.

The computer resources may be mapped by allocating a certain area to the actual physical memory space 400. Such computer resources include software and hardware of the computer device. A library refers to a program and a subroutine contained in a computer apparatus which an application program uses as needed, and an application program itself as well as other application programs can be included in the library. A kernel module is a unit that is modularized into a function known in the kernel area 200 of the operating system. A device driver is software that can control the hardware of a computer device and is also referred to as a device driver.

An application can use these computer resources according to the authority information. Typical applications use multiple libraries, kernel modules, and device drivers.

The authority information may be information indicating whether the computer resource is allowed to access, read, write, or change.

Referring to FIG. 5, the address space of the first process is configured by mapping a memory in the physical memory space 400. At this time, among the kernel address areas, the device 2 driver and the kernel module 1 are not mapped And the address space of the second process is also configured by mapping the memory in the physical memory space 400. At this time, the device 1 driver and the kernel module 2 are not mapped in the kernel address area. This is the result of the mapping control of the process address space.

Suppose you want to satisfy the following program execution constraints: Application 1 should not use kernel module 1, nor should device 2 be used. In order to satisfy such a restriction, the first process address space 410 is not mapped so that the kernel module 1 and the device 2 driver can not be driven at all.

This privilege information may be set differently depending on the application program. Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown an example in which an application program can have rights information about a computer resource. In the case of FIG. 6A, only the access permission to computer resources is allowed. Access is granted to the Device 1 driver and User Library 1, but not to the Device 2 driver.

On the other hand, the authority information can be managed in a more detailed form as in the case of FIG. 6B. Referring to FIG. 6B, some application programs are allowed only for the device 1 driver, and only for the device 2 driver access and read. On the other hand, for user library 1, access, read, write, and modification are allowed.

In this case, the term access may be defined as the application knowing the existence and address of any computer resource. That is, according to FIG. 6B, although the application program knows the existence of the device 1 driver and the physical memory address but can not read the contents thereof, the device 1 driver resource can not be used eventually.

In the case of read, write, and change, appropriate authority definition can be made according to the type of computer resources. The definition of authority may not be limited to the above four cases. For example, it is possible to define permissions such as desorption and removal. Database backup If your application uses a backup device driver, you can define and use permissions such as detach and remove data cartridges.

7 is an exemplary diagram for explaining identification information of a computer resource.

Referring to FIG. 7, the identification information may be information including a unique identifier of the computer resource and address information of the physical memory space 400 allocated to the computer resource. The identifier may also be indicative of the function of the computer resource.

The identifier of the identification information may be a specific functional unit such as a " device 1 driver " or may be a form in which a functional meaning such as a universal unique identifier (UUID) or a MAC (Media Access Control) May also be possible. Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, since the physical memory area for each identifier is recorded, it is possible to dynamically change the process address space after confirming the value requested by the memory control request unit 120 to the physical memory area.

The memory control unit 130 generates a process address space in which an application program is mapped only to a physical memory space of a computer resource having usage rights or maps an application program to all of the computer resources inherent in the computer apparatus, The process address space can be created by releasing the mapping to computer resources that do not have usage rights.

With continued reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 5 referred to above, there are two possible ways to create a process address space that includes a mapping to computer resources. In the first method, the memory control request unit 120 can transmit an identifier such as a module or a device which should not be used by a corresponding application program. In this case, among the entire kernel area 200 address space, Can be mapped to the process address space.

In the second method, the memory control request unit 120 delivers identifiers such as modules, devices, and the like that the application program should not use. In this case, Alternatively, the process address space can be created by mapping a physical memory area including an identifier having no use permission to the process address space, and then releasing the mapping of the application resource to a computer resource having no usage right.

The second method differs from the first method in that, from the application point of view, the second way is to know the existence of computer resources of identifiers that do not have usage rights. That is, according to the first method, the application program may not know the existence of the computer resource of the identifier having no usage right. However, according to the second method, the physical memory address of the computer resource of the identifier having no usage right is unknown, The existence itself becomes recognizable.

FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram for explaining process address space control using the page table 520. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 8, the memory controller 130 may modify the page information 520 of the process address space 510 to change the authority information on the computer resource. The dynamic modification of the process address space 510 may be implemented differently depending on the generation technique of the process address space, but those skilled in the art will readily understand the present invention. In the case of using the paging scheme among the virtual memory schemes, the process address space 510 through the page table 520 can be created. The page table 520 is modified for the physical memory space 500 to be access- The process address space 510 can be generated.

9 is a flowchart for explaining each step of the memory management method.

Referring to FIG. 9, a memory management method for executing an application program in a computer device includes: a step of generating, in response to an execution request for an application program, rights information on a computer resource embedded in the computer device necessary for execution of the application program, (S910) of creating a process address space in which a memory address of an application program and a computer resource are mapped based on the privilege information and the identification information outside the kernel area of the computer device (S920) .

When an application is requested to be executed, a process necessary for executing an application program is created, and this process includes sub-processes. The right of any user application to use the computer resources in the computer device can be managed by the computer device, and such rights information can be extracted. In addition, identification information of computer resources can be extracted. Based on the extracted credential information and the identification information, the application program can be executed and the generated processes and sub-processes can be mapped to computer resources. The process address space including this mapping information can be created in the virtual memory space of the computer device.

The device on which the memory management method is performed can replace some or all of the memory management modules located in the kernel area outside the kernel area of the computer device. Using this approach, the memory management portion defined by the developer may not be compromised despite the unintended corruption of the kernel area.

The memory management method may further include storing the authority information (S930) before the step of extracting the authority information and the identification information. When the step of storing the authority information is performed, the memory control may be requested by extracting the stored authority information and transmitting the authority information.

The authority information may be set before execution of the application program, or may be generated upon execution of the application program. It is possible to prescribe and store which application program has the authority for the computer resource, and when the application program is executed, the generated sub-process can be analyzed to generate the privilege information. Such authority information may be stored in a computer device.

The computer resources may include at least one of a library, a kernel module, and a device driver.

The authority information may be information indicating whether the computer resource is allowed to access, read, write, or change. The authorization information can be set differently depending on the application program. Referring to FIG. 6, it is shown as an example how an application program can have rights information about a computer resource. In the case of FIG. 6A, only the access permission to computer resources is allowed. Access is granted to the Device 1 driver and User Library 1, but not to the Device 2 driver.

On the other hand, the authority information can be managed in a more detailed form as in the case of FIG. 6B. Referring to FIG. 6B, some application programs are allowed only for the device 1 driver, and only for the device 2 driver access and read. On the other hand, for user library 1, access, read, write, and modification are allowed.

The identification information may include a unique identifier of the computer resource and address information of the physical memory space allocated to the computer resource. The identifier may also be indicative of the function of the computer resource.

The step of creating a process address space may include creating a process address space in which an application maps only to a physical memory space of a computer resource for which the application has usage rights or mapping an application program to all of the computer resources inherent in the computer device, A program can create a processor address space by unmapping computer resources that do not have usage rights.

The second method differs from the first method in that, from the application point of view, the second way is to know the existence of computer resources of identifiers that do not have usage rights. That is, according to the first method, the application program may not know the existence of the computer resource of the identifier having no usage right. However, according to the second method, the physical memory address of the computer resource of the identifier having no usage right is unknown, The existence itself becomes recognizable.

The step of creating the process address space may modify the privilege information for the computer resource by modifying the page table of the process address space. When using the paging scheme among the virtual memory schemes, a process address space can be created through the page table. In the physical memory address area requiring access control, do.
