[$] Debian's /tmpest in a teapot

1 év 3 hónap óta

Debian had a major discussion about mounting /tmp as a RAM-based tmpfs in 2012 but inertia won out in the end. Debian systems have continued to store temporary files on disk by default. Until now. A mere 12 years later, the project will be switching to a RAM-based /tmp in the Debian 13 ("Trixie") release. Additionally, starting with Trixie, the default will be to periodically clean up temporary files automatically in /tmp and /var/tmp. Naturally, it involved a lengthy discussion first.

clang option -fret-clean committed

1 év 3 hónap óta

Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) has committed -fret-clean for clang: CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org 2024/06/02 09:40:43 Modified files: gnu/llvm/clang/include/clang/Driver: Options.td gnu/llvm/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains: Clang.cpp gnu/llvm/llvm/lib/Target/X86: X86.h X86TargetMachine.cpp gnu/usr.bin/clang/libLLVMX86CodeGen: Makefile share/man/man1 : clang-local.1 Log message: add -fret-clean option (amd64 and i386 only at first), defaulting to off. This causes the caller to cleans the return address off the stack after a callq completes. The option is best used in low-level libraries (such as libc), because libc contains low-level system call stubs. The option reduces hints (found on the stale parts of the stack) about libc.so's mapping location, and together with random-relinking, relro got/pic, and xonly makes some exploit methods more difficult. ok mortimer, mlarkin, much discussion with kettenis, in snaps for 2 weeks.

See our earlier article for more discussion.

For now, this is only for amd64 and i386.

Opt Green: KDE Eco's New Sustainable Software Project

1 év 3 hónap óta

KDE Eco, a KDE project focused on reducing software's environmental impact, has announced its Opt Green campaign to reduce e-waste:

Over the next two years, the "Opt Green" initiative will bring what KDE Eco has been doing for sustainable software directly to end users. A particular target group for the project is those whose consumer behavior is driven by principles related to the environment, and not just price or convenience: the "eco-consumers".

Through online and offline campaigns as well as installation workshops, we will demonstrate the power of Free Software to drive down resource and energy consumption, and keep devices in use for the lifespan of the hardware, not the software.

Our motto: The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own.

See the KDE Eco Get Involved page for more information on how to participate.

[$] One more pidfdfs surprise

1 év 3 hónap óta
The "pidfdfs" virtual filesystem was added to the 6.9 kernel release as a way to export better information about running processes to user space. It replaced a previous implementation in a way that was, on its surface, fully compatible while adding a number of new capabilities. This transition, which was intended to be entirely invisible to existing applications, already ran into trouble in March, when a misunderstanding with SELinux caused systems with pidfdfs to fail to boot properly. That problem was quickly fixed, but it turns out that there was one more surprise in store, showing just how hard ABI compatibility can be at times.
