Process retext for dynamically loaded modules

摘要

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for dynamically loading a module into an application address space. In response to receiving a checkpoint signal by a plurality of threads associated with an application running in a software partition, the plurality of threads rendezvous to a point outside an application text associated with the application. Rendezvousing the plurality of threads suspends execution of application text by the plurality of threads. The application text is moved out of an application address space for the application to form an available application address space. The available application address space is an address space that was occupied by the application text. A software module is moved into the available application address space.
