Huston: Calling Time on DNSSEC?

1 év 3 hónap óta
Geoff Huston suggests that it is time to give up on DNSSEC and look for a better way to secure the Internet namespace.

What appears to be very clear (to me at any rate!) is that DNSSEC as we know it today is just not going anywhere. It's too complex, too fragile and just too slow to use for the majority of services and their users. Some value its benefits highly enough that they are prepared to live with its shortcomings, but that's not the case for the overall majority of name holders and for the majority of users, and no amount of passionate exhortations about DNSSEC will change this.

[$] LLVM improvements for BPF verification

1 év 3 hónap óta

Alan Jowett gave a remote presentation at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit about what features could be added to LLVM to make writing BPF programs easier. While there is nothing specific to LLVM about BPF code (and the next session in the track was led by GCC developer José Marchesi about better support for that compiler), LLVM is currently the most common way to turn C code into BPF bytecode. That translation, however, runs into problems when the BPF verifier cannot understand the code LLVM's optimizations produce.

[$] Fleshing out memory descriptors

1 év 3 hónap óta
One of the long-term goals of the folio conversion in the kernel's memory-management subsystem is the replacement of the page structure, which describes a page of physical memory, with an eight-byte "memory descriptor". This change would reduce the overhead of tracking physical memory, increase type safety, and make memory management more flexible. Thus far, though, details on what the memory-descriptor future will look like have been relatively scarce. At the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Matthew Wilcox led a discussion to try to fill in the picture somewhat.

[$] The next steps for the maple tree

1 év 3 hónap óta
The maple tree data structure was added during the 6.1 development cycle; since then, it has taken its place at the core of the kernel's memory-management subsystem. Unsurprisingly, work on maple trees is not yet done. Maple-tree maintainer Liam Howlett ran a session in the memory-management track of the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit to discuss the current state of the maple tree and which features can be expected next.
