... performed, the inclusion of IdleProcRef and the ex-clusion of NullProcRef are of some importance. They determine the range of possible values for the domains of the components of process descriptors. ... the idle process, of course.Proof. The components of the process description, pstate, pkind, pstack,pregs, etc., all have identical domains by the first part of the invariant of PROCESSES.Thatis:dom ... interruptsoccur during the execution of a piece of code. They are used as a kind of low-level mutual exclusion mechanism.4.3 Common Structures 101Proof. By a previous Lemma (Lemma 5), | scnt|...
