Upstream Linux kernel testing has grown exponentially on many fronts during the past few years: kselftest is now more stable, KUnit gaining coverage and many out-of-tree test suites have kept growing. Many automated systems are running those tests continuously and...
You know the rules, right? You should not implement a logic analyzer in software because equidistant sampling points cannot be guaranteed. You should also not disable interrupts in your kernel code, and if you really need to, it should be as short as possible. And...
This presentation will cover some of the most recent KSPP accomplishments, as well as some currently active efforts. Also, a brief explanation of how you can help us complete some particularly challenging work will be...
The Linux kernel is one of the most complex pieces of software ever written. Being in ring 0, bugs in the kernel are a big problem, so having confidence in the correctness and robustness of the kernel is incredibly important. This is difficult enough for a single...
One of the ways to get a solid understanding of operating systems is to write one, from scratch. This is what Vlad has been doing in his free time since 2016. It all started as an experiment to see what would it take to write an OS that could just “run a shell” and...
