How to resolve the critical section problem in concurrent programming?

The critical section problem can be resolved using synchronization mechanisms such as semaphores. Semaphores are variables used to control access to common resources by multiple processes in a concurrent system, ensuring that only one process can enter the critical section at a time.
A computer is in System mode when: When does a deadlock occur in a system? Which memory management scheme allows the physical address space of a process to be non-contiguous? Which is better, Time slicing or time sharing? Why do modern operating systems use preemptive multitasking? What is the main purpose of a context switch in an operating system? Where is the Page Table typically stored in a computer system? When is the "thrashing" condition likely to occur in a system using virtual memory? How to resolve the critical section problem in concurrent programming? Which of the following are/is true? What mechanism does an operating system use to handle the execution of multiple processes that require frequent access to the CPU?
