Abstract:
A method for performing process fault tolerant control of an electronic device, and an associated apparatus and an associated computer program product are provided, where the method includes: using at least one driver in a kernel layer of an operating system (OS) of the electronic device to perform detection to determine whether a specific process running on the electronic device will be influenced by an error of the electronic device; and when it is detected that the specific process running on the electronic device will be influenced by the error of the electronic device, using at least one control signal of the OS to perform process control on the specific process and using a package manager service (PMS) module of the OS to trigger a rescue procedure. For example, the method may further include: when triggering the rescue procedure, preventing immediately triggering termination of the specific process.
