Problems solved by technology

Also, since the code of the new program version references the data segment of the old version, it is not possible to simply use dlclose to close the old version even if all threads have been migrated from the old version to the new version

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention proposes a system and method that can support global variable migration during dynamic software update (DSU). The disclosed system can be used to support global variable migration during program updates, including plugin updates used by multithreaded applications, and the like. The described DSU support system can support asynchronous DSU in some applications and complete the update without stopping. Although the presently described asynchronous DSU support system may be implemented in different environments, standard C programming syntax is used in this specification to illustrate example embodiments.

[0023] refer to figure 1 , an example of a DSU support system will be described in the context of a DSU tool 100 that supports a software program 104 with multiple program version updates (from version_1.so to version_N.so). specifically, figure 1 Virtual memory is shown in the form of a logical address space 102 that has been defined by an op...

Abstract

A system and method for managing global variable migration on a processing system during live program updates. The method includes: creating a shared data segment in the physical memory of the processing system; binding the logical address space of the first global variable data segment of the first version of the program to the physical address of the shared data segment; The logical address space of the second global variable data segment of the updated version of the program is bound to the physical address of the shared data segment. The first global variable data segment and the second global variable data segment exist simultaneously, and both are mapped to public global variables stored in the shared data segment.
