Non-supervisor mode cross address space dynamic linking

摘要

In a network of object oriented distributed systems, a plurality of program code managers, each having access to a plurality of program code segment objects, a plurality of address space managers, each having access to a plurality of address space objects having linked program segment and symbol address information, and a plurality of trusted third party authentication managers are provided, thereby allowing a client process executing in non-supervisor mode to be able to dynamically link a program segment to either another program segment in another address space or a process in either another address space or the client's address space, without compromising the security of the systems.
