Operating System Process Management Questions

Fundamentals of process and thread lifecycle, scheduling, and resource management in operating systems. Cover process creation and termination semantics, differences between processes and threads, common process states such as new, ready, running, blocked, and terminated, context switching and process control block responsibilities, and scheduling algorithms including round robin, priority scheduling, and multilevel feedback queue. Discuss concurrency concerns such as priority inversion and starvation and mitigation approaches, plus the memory layout of a process including code, data, heap, and stack regions.
