Doing for Sustainability, What Open Source Did for Software - Asim Hussain, Green Software Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
In the realm of sustainability, grassroots initiatives often emerge as powerful catalysts for change, driven by the collective wisdom of practitioners. Enter Impact Framework, an open-source tool designed to quantify the environmental impact of software. It takes observations you can easily gather from running systems such as CPU utilization, page views, installs, and prompts, and induces them into environmental impacts like carbon, waste, and water. Drawing parallels to the evolution of open-source software, Impact Framework embodies the ethos of openness—open source, open standards, and open data—as the bedrock of its mission. In this talk, I'll explain the history of Impact Framework and its core concepts and take the audience through a live exercise to demonstrate how to use it to measure the environmental impacts of a piece of software. As we embark on this journey, we echo the sentiment of our community: to do for sustainability what open source did for software—a seismic shift rather than a mere agreement. Join us as we explore the transformative power of open-source principles in driving sustainable impact at scale.

Mastering Windows Monitoring in Kubernetes Environments - Mansi Kulkarni & Kanika Rana, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Are you struggling to monitor Windows on Kubernetes as a developer? With the limited support stack available, it can be a challenging task to keep track of everything. Kubernetes now supports HostProcess containers on Windows nodes. As a result, the Windows exporter, a Prometheus exporter for Windows, can be deployed as a host process pod. This feature is introduced as an add-on in the kube-prometheus project. This talk will implement a monitoring stack using Windows exporter on a Windows node in Kubernetes. We start by diving into various metric collectors, their functionalities, and utilization. Subsequently, demonstrate how to implement the Windows exporter, configure a ServiceMonitor, and deploy a Prometheus instance. Once Prometheus is up and running, we highlight the differences in the monitoring approach compared to Linux machines. Finally, we complete the monitoring experience with a Grafana dashboard analyzing the collected metrics.

Application of the Upcoming SPDX Safety Profile - Nicole Pappler, AlektoMetis.com
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Creating and maintaining a safety critical project comes with a lot of challenges. A central issue is keeping your documentation, starting from planning and guideline documents, down to requirements, safety analysis, reviews and tests, consistent and up to date. These artefacts often have their own lifecycle and are natively managed in different tools, with usually great traceability capabilities regarding dependencies between these artefacts as long as you stay within one tool or within a (usually propriety) tool family of one single tool vendor. Currently the resulting traceability gaps between these tools are handled either by the popular engineering tools like MS Excel or methods like “search for identical names”, depending highly on manual maintenance.

Using SPDX relationships, the upcoming Safety Profile in SPDX 3.1 will provide a model to represent all these dependencies as a knowledge model that can be used both to analyse possible impacts after a change (be it because of a security update or functional variants of your product), provide evidence of completeness and compliance as a Safety SBOM or simply keep track of your product variants.

Understanding Cultural Differences When Approaching OSS - Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, Bitergia & Willem Jiang, ByteDance
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
Willem and Daniel have been discussing on cultural differences between China and Spain and how to effectively engage newcomers from different regions. Two books were used as starting point: The Culture Map book by Erin Meyer and From the Soils by Fei Xiaotong, a sociological study of the Chinese society written in the 40’s. While Western societies tend to be more individualistics when approaching an OSS community, according to the book From the Soils, Chinese society works in a more ‘ring based’ scenarios where network of trust are quite important over the years. As an example in Chinese society, if you want to do business with another person, you need to be introduced by a trusted person. It is like a social currency to play with. In the case of the OSS communities, your personal career and public record can talk for you, so you do not need others to introduce you. Your own brand is your social currency. In China, an extra step may be required and a trusted person may introduce you. This talk will share experiences and good practices learned over the years to engage and onboard newcomers. Specially, those that face specific barriers such as language or cultural ones.

Stabilizing Chromium's Wayland Support: Implementing and Testing Fallback Tab Dragging - Max Ihlenfeldt, Igalia
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Chromium has experimental support for Wayland and is moving towards stabilizing that support. One of the features needed for stabilization is proper tab dragging support.

Dragging tabs out of and back into Chromium windows doesn’t work on Wayland as on other platforms due to protocol restrictions. There already is a protocol extension that makes regular tab dragging possible, but it requires support from the Wayland compositor. Until all major compositors implement this extension, we need some form of fallback tab dragging that always works.

Unfortunately, to be able to run automated tests against this new tab dragging implementation, we need to fix some long-standing issues with how these tests are run on Wayland - time for another new protocol extension!

Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
This session will introduce the SPDX Lite profile, its background, and what and how it solves with many JSON examples. The Lite profile of SPDX 3.0 is designed to make it quick and easy to start creating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) when a company has limited capacity for introducing new items into its process. Over the past few years, the importance of SBOM has increased. As interest in SBOM from government agencies and industries grows, the SBOM specification extends significantly to meet these various needs. SPDX Lite is a lightweight and compact SBOM specification. The OpenChain Project Japan WG explores and promotes SBOM. The focus is on making the SBOM practical from security assurance and license compliance perspectives and on sharing and transferring SBOM across the global software supply chain in any industry. SPDX Lite is one of the achievements of collaboration between the OpenChain project and the SPDX project. Attendees in this session will learn the first steps to creating an SBOM using the Lite profile of SPDX 3.0 by several examples of SBOM documents that address regulations and requirements.

Traceability and Automation Examples With Basil an Open Source Software for Quality Management - Luigi Pellecchia & Gabriele Paoloni, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
In Safety Critical applications it is mandatory to ensure Sw Requirements traceability to Sw Specifications, Test Cases, Test Results, Bugs and more.
The process leading to this goal is usually complex and time-consuming and it is essential to understand the state step by step and highlight what remains to be done.
Moreover, for the intrinsic nature of a software project, we need to ensure traceability and test verification following any evolution in the ecosystem of the project.

BASIL The FuSa Spice, is an open source sw that provides a quality management solution aimed to address the above mentioned challenges for SW developments that are code driven and equally for the ones requirements driven.

We will see how to implement in BASIL Sw Requirements traceability to the source Code and to existing upstream Test Cases, how to execute them, how to navigate Test Results and artifacts and how to link failures to a bug in a bug tracking system.

We will also go into the details of a pipeline implementation based on the BASIL HTTP Api to understand how changes in one or more work items can be managed through automation with the goal of implementing a continuous certification framework.

Open Source and IP Departments: Risk Containment and Portfolio Management - Shane Coughlan, The Linux Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Product teams, R&D teams and OSPOs occasionally find themselves in an adversarial situation with IP Departments around open source and how it should be managed in an organization. This is usually due to misunderstandings about how open source provides value and how the risks associated with it can be contained. With open source increasingly necessary for organizations to compete effectively, it is important to ensure all departments understand its strategic importance, and how to manage it in the context of their KPIs and requirements. This talk will explain how to collaborate with IP Departments using the language of external risk containment and internal portfolio management, and help IP Department staff assess open source as part of a diversified IPR strategy.

Demystifying Secure Application Communication with Zero Trust and Istio Without Sidecars - Lin Sun, solo.io
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Modern cloud-native applications are frequently distributed across multiple Kubernetes clusters or virtual machines. But what exactly are the requirements for securing communication among these cloud native applications? Is encryption alone sufficient? Do applications require unique identities? How can we ensure the integrity of our applications' data? Do we need to control who can access what? And what are the considerations when dealing with multi-cluster environments? This presentation will explore the essentials of securing application communications within a zero-trust architecture framework. Lin will explain how mutual TLS (mTLS) meets these requirements through its handshake and record protocols. Moreover, she’ll demonstrate live how you can implement mTLS for applications by simply labeling their namespaces, without any restart of applications or sidecars using Istio's ambient mesh.

Developing on Containers with Dev Containers - Hrittik Roy, Loft Labs
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Cloud computing has been primarily used by companies for production environments for quite some time now. However, a small group of users have found ways to move their development environment to the cloud. This allows them to access all their shared libraries, build tools, and software development kits (SDKs) on the cloud. As a result, they can build and ship their applications natively on the cloud. Gartner reports that 60% of cloud workloads will be developed and deployed using Container Development Environments (CDEs). In this talk, you will primarily focus on how you can simplify the structure of your projects by utilizing modern standards like devcontainer.json and open source CDEs such as DevPod ( devpod.sh ) to reduce the cognitive load for contributors and eliminate unnecessary obstacles. Moreover, DevPod handles the lifecycle of the infrastructure it runs on, and it can even suspend cloud resources automatically to save on costs. By the end of the talk, you will make local development much easier while saving costs.

Sponsored Session: Sustaining Git Performance Under Heavy Workloads: GHS, an AI-driven Approach - Daniele Sassoli, GerritForge
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)
Over time we've become accustomed to taking for granted that Source Code Management systems are always available. SCMs are a mission-critical part of any software-related business. When they don't work as expected, whole organizations come to a halt quicker than you would expect, therefore, efficient maintenance of such systems is crucial to success.

Git repositories that are under heavy load quickly become inefficient or even inaccessible. This impacts client operations of all types (e.g., git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack). Currently, the only countermeasures are a full GC or a geometric repacking, either time or metrics-based.

As the repositories grow, running a full GC takes longer, is more expensive, and risks introducing additional workload at inopportune times (e.g., running GC during a burst of repository activity may bring nodes to a standstill). In this talk, we will introduce an AI-driven approach to maintaining the performance of busy Git repositories that undergo heavy workloads. The AI model will explore and learn different strategies, including partial repacking, bitmap regeneration, empty directory removals, and more, by evaluating its success using reinforcement learning.

However, we were able to success the launced this model based on Honda's DNA of Waigaya, A00, and 120% quality products. The key point for this is the use of AOSP(Android Open Source Project) and some OSS. This presentation will show how a traditional automotive OEM like Honda was able to create an in-house software development team, and how it used OSS, including AOSP. By applying OpenChain(ISO/IEC 5230) self-certification and SPDX Lite to our development process, we were able to solve many problems and get a higher starting point. However, vehicles have difficult requirements, so we will tell you the points to minimize customization of OSS.

Hall M1 (Level 1)
Once in a while, new processor architectures show up -- aarch64, RISC-V, Loongarch, Elbrus -- and more to come. Getting Linux distributions - especially those using binary packages - up on them has traditionally been difficult, but it doesn't have to be. For the new OpenMandriva RISC-V port, we have automated the process in a way that will also work for other new architectures (or even other core changes like spins using a different libc). This talk introduces the pitfalls and the Open Source tools we've used to overcome them.

Virter – How the "Docker for VMs" Can Help You Test the Linux Kernel - Christoph Böhmwalder, LINBIT HA-Solutions GmbH
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
Testing the Linux kernel and its associated components at scale presents unique challenges compared to other software projects. While user-space projects can usually use containers to efficiently and quickly run their integration tests, kernel-level software requires virtual machines, making the process more difficult. At LINBIT, we also notice this when developing our Linux kernel driver, DRBD, and other components that depend on it.

That is why, after several iterations with other approaches, we have created our own open-source tool for the task: Virter, a "Docker for VMs."
Virter isn't just a proof-of-concept; it's a practical solution. Its primary design goal is to simplify the provisioning, cloning, and running of virtual machines. We currently use it to run around 40,000 VM instances every day as part of our testing efforts.

In this talk, we will share our experience testing the Linux kernel, a journey that ultimately led to the creation of Virter. We will demonstrate how we now use Virter to effectively and efficiently test Linux kernel components and explore how your workflow might benefit from it, too.

Enhancing Kernel Functional Safety Analysis with KS-nav - Alessandro Carminati & Gabriele Paoloni, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 12:35 - 12:55 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
In order to make functional safety claims on SW components, having a clear understanding of the underlying software architecture is crucial. However, if SW architectural documentation is missing, understanding how software operates and how its parts fit together can be challenging. For the Linux kernel and many other OSS SW, such documents are absent and instead, analysts must rely on code, which can be hard to read.
ks-nav is a tool designed to help in reverse engineering and understanding the code by generating diagrams that highlight the interactions between code elements and sub-elements.

ks-nav relies on binary images instead of source code analysis to get rid of the uncertainty introduced by configurations, compiler optimizations, and any other toolchain related issues. Additionally, using the MAINTAINERS file, it precisely pinpoints subsystems, enabling users to delve into their interactions with clarity.

This session focuses on:
* Why understanding the code is critical in FuSa activities;
* How ks-nav works, how it addresses the various challenges of analyzing the code;
* An example of how ks-nav can be used to support an expert-driven FMEA for a specific use case.

Promoting Group Wide Open Source Activity Within Sony by Identifying Common Key Open Source Project - Kazumi Sato & Masayuki Kuwata, Sony Group Corporation
Monday September 16, 2024 12:35 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
In this presentation, we present how an analysis of companies and technical trends can lead to the formation of group-wide community and participation in open source alliance organizations. We analyzed companies and technological trends in the related technology area to clarify the situation around the company direction from top-level executives. As a result, we identified important foundations and open source projects in which companies in the related technology area were actively involved. These projects are also important for the Sony Group business. However, due to the diverse nature of Sony's business entities, the organization responsible for video production was unaware of the significance within Sony group, even though they were aware of the trends in OSS and the importance for their own business. In contrast, the organization in the electronics field lacked awareness of video production trends. We tailored the analysis results to each organization and communicated them accordingly. This explanation led to valuable insights for each tech executive, resulting in the formation of group-wide community and participation in a related alliance organization.

Lightning Talk: Kustomize Your Operator - Moritz Wanzenböck, LINBIT
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:25 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
More and more Operators automate deployment of cloud native applications in Kubernetes. Operators often automate the whole process of setting up and maintaining applications, including setting up the necessary workload resources, such as Deployments, StatefulSets and more. This poses a challenge for us Operator developers. Oftentimes, users of our Operator have specific requirements for the deployed workloads, restricting them to specific nodes, requiring additional configuration, added sidecar containers and many more. This talk shows how using kustomize in our Operator, we can simplify our own Operators while still allowing users the full range of customization. This even also allows for quick iteration during feature development.

Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:35 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Three years have passed since the issuance of the U.S. Executive Order (EO #14028), the adoption of SBOM in Japan has gradually progressed. Japanese companies are learning the minimum elements of SBOM which was published by NTIA, and are converting to a development process that takes automated SBOM generation into account. In July 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) published a guide on the introduction of SBOM for software management, then the second version is scheduled to be released this summer. In addition, in April 2024, Nikkei Computer, a prominent Japanese computer magazine, published a less than 20-page special feature on SBOM in its opening issue. In this session, Ayumi Watanabe, a Japanese SBOM evangelist and an advisor to METI's SBOM PoC project, will discuss the status of SBOM in Japan, including the content of METI's guidelines, and the maturity and challenges of SBOM implementation in Japanese companies.

Cross Industry Demands and Collaboration Opportunities in Open Source for Safety Critical Systems - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH & Olivier Charrier, Wind River
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
The increasing computation power of embedded CPUs has revolutionized industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, or Industrial by enabling centralized and enhanced use cases, software-defined functionalities, and increased automation. The challenges of this increased complexity are often addressed by incorporating Open Source Software, particularly Linux, virtualization and RTOS. As these industries are heavily regulated by quality and safety-integrity standards, the certification of these highly complex systems becomes crucial.

Starting from the similarities and overlaps in system architecture design across use cases, this talk will explore the demands imposed by safety integrity standards in various industries. To develop these systems and adhere to required processes, the integration of tools and a high degree of automation is essential.

The authors show how Open Source projects bridge the gap between open source and safety-criticality, introducing tools and processes, and showcasing collaborative efforts in creating reproducible example system architectures. These systems can serve as a foundation for companies and projects adopting Open Source in safety-critical applications.

Linux in Space: Fault Detection, Recovery and Fault-Tolerant System Designs - Lenka Kosková Třísková & Lukas Mazl, Technical University of Liberec & Tomas Novotny, VZLU
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Linux in space must be highly reliable and autonomous, both because of the hostile external environment, the physical unavailability of the system, and the limited data flow and direct system administration capabilities. Radiation and other external influences lead to sudden shutdowns and system reboots. Also, data stored in storage devices are at risk of radiation and physical effects. Therefore, the design of a satellite always considers which parts of the system to duplicate or otherwise insure and how to ensure the system's ability to detect an error and recover. In the design of Linux4Space, we have encountered various approaches to solving the problem (from "we have two SD cards, and one is sure to last six months" to "fully duplicated storage and CPU with error detection"). We have reviewed the designs of other satellites and systems. In this paper, we provide some specific examples from natural satellites and summarize everything we have been able to find and track down for various other solutions, examples, and demonstrations.

The Devboards Community for Android - Amit Pundir, Linaro Ltd.
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
"Which device prototype or a development board do you suggest?" - got to be one of the most frequently asked question in the embedded workspace. Last year EOSS/ELC'23 was no different and we ran into similar questions around Android development boards. That planted the idea of enabling a community around the development boards or devices that provide decent AOSP (Android Open Source Project) support.

So we started working on The Devboards for Android community initiative https://devboardsforandroid.linaro.org to enable a collaborative space for AOSP system developers. We briefly talked about it at the Android Microconf at LPC'23 as well.

Overall idea of this project is to provide an umbrella space for collaboration and consolidate all the resources about the devices that are known to support AOSP reliably. For each supported device, links are made available to the kernel source, local manifests, device specific files and binaries (like bootloader, firmware, HALs) and documentation. We hope that this initiative will be instrumental in sharing and co-developing features like generic HALs across multiple devices and possibly enabling the supported devices with LAVA CI in the future.

Real-time Scheduling Fault Simulation - Ben Dooks, Codethink
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
There is a lot of work around how to achieve good real-time on Linux, but not as much on how to simulate faults such as jitter in the system, deadline misses or other faults. Without this it is difficult to test how your application or entire system copes with these problems.

As part of work with a number of clients, especially in the safety sphere, questions have come up on how to test processes which rely on real-time scheduling. If we have a way of injecting faults we can reliably test error handling and other mitigations. Mitigations such as throttling, restarting or some measured shutdown of services.

We will go through some methods we evaluated for fault injection via both user and kernel space. How existing kernel features can be used and what needs to be done in the way of either configuring or extending kernel features. There will be discussion about how each method works and the comparative merits where overlaps exist.

We hope that this can help to promote thinking and improvements on how the scheduler and particularly real-time scheduling is tested under Linux.

Client server computing relies on encryption algorithms to ensure that data sent across networks cannot be read, or faked, by untrusted parties. This is the rock on which financial computing works in a business to customer environment, as well as how data at rest is protected from malicious prying eyes reading our personal data. This talk will cover the basics of how Diffe-Hellman encryption works, how symmetric and asymetric keys operate, as well as how all of this will soon become unsafe because of quantum computing. As well as showing the audience the basics (no maths degree required) this talk will show how quantum safe encryption is able to address this, and how folks can get wise and get started.

Lightning Talk: Optimizing Kubernetes Multicluster Backup & Restore - Hường Đinh, Viettel Solutions
Monday September 16, 2024 14:25 - 14:35 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
In this presentation, I aim to address critical challenges in Kubernetes cluster management, particularly focusing on optimizing multicluster backup and restore processes using Velero. The current state of Kubernetes cluster management emphasizes the critical importance of implementing robust backup and restore processes. However, a challenge arises when dealing with multiple clusters, requiring the installation of Velero on each cluster, resulting in complex and resource-intensive multicluster Kubernetes environments. To address this issue, the proposed solution advocates for a centralized Velero installation, allowing for the backup and restore of individual clusters using their corresponding kubeconfig. The talk delves into the design architecture of multicluster backups, outlining how to integrate this approach with Velero's existing features. This innovative approach not only simplifies management but also optimizes resource utilization in a way that aligns with the evolving landscape of Kubernetes cluster operations. I aim for the audience to leave with actionable insights and a clear roadmap for implementing centralized backup strategies in their own multicluster setups.

Lightning Talk: Cognitive and Self-Adaptive System for Effective Distributed-Tracing (Using Jaeger, Open Tracing) - Susobhit Panigrahi, Broadcom
Monday September 16, 2024 14:45 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
In the realm of distributed systems and microservices architecture,dynamic API tracing systems play a pivotal role in diagnosing API failures and performance issues.However, current implementations often sample only a fraction of traces(1-5%) due to storage and scale constraints,leading to a skewed distribution favoring normal execution traces.This bias hampers effective diagnosis,impacting both developers and SRE teams.Our proposed solution employs a Machine Learning and Cognitive approach to rectify this imbalance in trace collection. By dynamically adapting based on actual data, the system learns to capture higher-interest traces, helping root causing issues. This innovative approach has significantly improved the Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) for SRE teams, revolutionizing issue triaging within the organization. The Adaptive Sampling technique, driven by data analysis, standardizes trace distribution, reduces storage requirements, and dynamically adjusts the sampling rate.It lowers costs & resource utilization for tracing services, also streamlines trace metric analysis for SRE,offering a forward-looking solution to common challenges in the Observability and Infrastructure space.

How to Make Your Kubernetes Add-Ons Management Painless in Multi Cloud - Eleni Grosdouli & Gianluca Mardente, Cisco Systems
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
One of the most powerful aspects of Kubernetes is its extensibility. But with flexibility comes complexity. Deploying Kubernetes add-ons extend its functionality, but with most platform engineers managing and maintaining multiple clusters across different environments comes the pain. Giving a breather to platform administrators will allow them to be more productive and creative, while enabling them to perform deployments easily, quickly and reliably. From a small home lab to large-scale production environments, keeping up with Kubernetes add-ons deployment and management in a consistent, reliable, and maintainable manner can be like trying to find Nemo on the CNCF landscape. In this engaging session, we will demonstrate: - How smoothly Flux synchronises Kubernetes resources - How to use different add-on formats, including Helm charts, raw YAML/JSON highlighting the Lua language template creation for advanced deployments and logical application - How to deploy Cilium as a CNI - How to deploy Kyverno policies to clusters based on their scope as templates Attendees will learn a new, easy and creative way of deploying applications whether on-prem or in the cloud.

Bringing Existing Open-Source Code into MISRA Compliance - Roberto Bagnara, University of Parma and BUGSENG
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Bringing an existing codebase into MISRA compliance is known to be a difficult, risky and time-consuming task. Yet, when a product needs a functional safety certification and rewriting the software is out of question, this is a necessity. Such an endeavor requires facing multiple tradeoffs and, consequently, lots of experience both on the codebase and on MISRA. The choices between deviating the guideline, and the (often, many) ways in which code may be changed and deviations may be formulated, are tough and with consequences that are not immediately evident. The situation is particularly interesting in the case of open-source software, where additional challenges have to be faced. In this presentation, we illustrate our experience and the several lessons learned while undertaking MISRA compliance work in open-source projects, most notably the Zephyr RTOS and the Xen hypervisor, both used in many embedded systems. Key take-home points include: effective deviation strategies and mechanisms; dealing with the MISRA C essential type model (guidelines related to that account for many of the violations in existing codebases); interaction with open-source communities.

From Hardware to Linux - Stefan Eichenberger, embear GmbH
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
This presentation will show a step-by-step guide from hardware design to a fully functional Linux system. Initial considerations in the hardware design phase will help simplify the bringup. This includes designing for testability and incorporating features that make debugging easier, such as having accessible test points and providing instrumentation, such as a serial console and a JTAG interface. The next phase involves the bootloader, which is the first software component to run on the system. At this stage, we can use JTAG for early debugging to get some text output and eventually a console. The transition to the Linux kernel involves strategies that may include using JTAG again for early kernel debugging, followed by using printk and KDB for later diagnostics. The final phase involves the root file system and userspace tools that help bring up the rest of the peripherals. This final section of the presentation shows some userspace diagnostic and debugging tools for successfully getting a Linux-based system up and running.

DAMON Recipes: Ways to Save Memory Using a Linux Kernel Subsystem in the Real World - SeongJae Park, Amazon & Honggyu Kim, SK hynix
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem for efficient data access monitoring that has been integrated into the mainline since v5.15. The subsystem has been further developed into an access-aware system operating engine. In addition, userspace tools for DAMON have been developed to provide a human-friendly interface and additional userspace capabilities. Several major Linux distributions now offer DAMON-enabled kernels and user-space tool packages. Of course, not all use cases for DAMON are known, but the DAMON maintainer has been privileged to hear about some interesting and creative uses of DAMON from several people who primarily use DAMON for memory efficiency in their prototypes, researches, and products. In this talk, we'll give a brief introduction to the practical benefits and unique internal mechanisms that DAMON provides, with live demos of key features. We'll then detail real-world examples of DAMON use in prototypes, researches, and products. Finally, we'll show you how you can join the project community for participating to the development or get help. The rest of the talk will be followed by a Q&A.

Fine-Grained Policies RBAC with OpenFGA - José Carlos Chávez, Okta
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
The fine-grained nature of cloud native deployments requires fine-grained authorization at each component. However, this may require security policies to be centrally defined and the configurations reflecting them to be defined in each microservice to enable uniform, consistent enforcement across the entire system which is hard to model and maintain. OpenFGA is an open source solution to Fine-Grained Authorization that applies the concept of Relationship-based access control (ReBAC) where a subject's permission to access a resource is defined by the presence of relationships between those subjects and resources. It was designed for reliability and low latency at a high scale. This talk will offer an overview of OpenFGA, ReBAC and its advantages over more traditional RBAC and ABAC in the context of Zero Trust.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Corner Case Defects - Robert Altnoeder, LINBIT HA-Solutions GmbH
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
This session is about often unexpected and sometimes intricate defects that may either occur infrequently, seemingly randomly, or only in very specific corner cases.

These defects are often overlooked by developers, and most tests may not discover them either, despite how widespread they are, often lurking in plain sight, waiting to strike at the most unfortunate moment.
In this session, we will take a look at some code examples, we will talk about the sometimes surprising ways in which things can go wrong, and about how to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Embedded Audio Policies Made Easy with WirePlumber - George Kiagiadakis, Collabora
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Building robust audio policies on embedded systems that integrate well with upstream APIs and components such as PipeWire and PulseAudio has been a challenging task for a long time. In many implementations, custom hardware DSP management components are built, bypassing existing upstream functionality, making integration and maintenance harder than they need to be. In this talk, George will explain how many of these difficulties can be overcome by integrating management directly into WirePlumber, the default session manager of PipeWire, and how existing functionality can be factored in to build complex solutions with ease. Emphasis will be given also on how recent developments in WirePlumber have improved this particular use case.

Practical Application of Verified Boot - Rouven Czerwinski, Pengutronix e.K.
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
More and more applications of embedded linux systems require them to ensure that only trusted software is started on the device. This means that verified boot procedures need to be employed to verify the software running on the device. This talk will highlight the necesssary components to cryptographically verify the bootloader, kernel and filesystem. It will also show how these components can be integrated using the OpenEmbedded build system. Bootloader verification will be covered by providing examples to use the signing.bbclass in Yocto in conjunction with the NXP CST tool to sign a bootloader, kernel verification is covered by a to be upstreamed fitimage class and filesystem verification will be shown with a dm-verity class example for Yocto. Additionally the talk will highlight common pitfalls when deploying locked down embedded systems encountered during project work. We will also cover the case of using GPLv3 licenses on locked down devices.

New Challenges Towards Spatial Safety in the Linux Kernel - Gustavo A. R. Silva, The Linux Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
The first flexible-array transformation we implemented in the kernel, as part of the Kernel Self-Protection Project, took place back in March 2019. At the time, our work on preventing integer overflows during memory allocations led us to discover an 8-year-old bug. Addressing this bug not only resolved a longstanding issue but also initiated the work of flexible-array transformations across the whole kernel tree. This marked the beginning of a challenging yet rewarding journey to add bounds-checking on trailing arrays in the Linux kernel. Five years have passed since then, and we've come a long way. We have now new Clang and GCC hardening compiler options and attributes, that significantly improve the security of the Linux kernel, particularly in the spatial-safety area. We have new hardening helpers that make traditional methods less prone to error. In general, we have new and safer ways of doing things, which usually require a learning curve, even for seasoned kernel developers. In this talk, we will walk through the most recent challenges and history of our quest to improve spatial safety in the Linux kernel, and with that, get rid of out-of-bounds bugs once and for all.

The Power of Mentorship: Your Path to Open Source Success - Stephanie Taylor, Google
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
Developers interested in making their first contributions to open source communities often aren’t sure where to start - what community is a good fit, will the community be interested in their ideas, how do they take that first step into a community? You have learned some basics about open source but where do you put those coding skills to work and find cool open source communities doing interesting work you care about? For 20 years Google Summer of Code has helped bridge this gap for over 20,000 beginners to open source (students, young professionals, career switchers, etc.) and helped them find over 1,000 welcoming communities prepared to mentor them as they start their open source journey. Many mentorship programs (Outreachy, LFX) are designed to bring new contributors into the open source ecosystem to keep diverse perspectives coming into OSS. Learn about GSoC and other programs that you can join to put into practice the OSS skills you have been learning.

What Makes a Good, or Bad, Open Source Experience?! - Ildiko Vancsa, Open Infrastructure Foundation & Philip Robb, Ericssson Software Technology
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
Open source means a lot of things to a lot of people. That may be why it’s one of the most misunderstood and misused terms in tech and related ecosystems. In fact, if you ask ten different people in tech “what is open-source?”, you are likely to get ten very different answers. We know, we’ve done it! So what makes a “good” or “bad” experience for users and participants in open-source projects? Ildiko and Phil have set out to answer this question with their “My Open Source Experience” podcast. They are talking to seasoned professionals and newbies, to understand the challenges and successes they’ve experienced so far. Questions they ask include: Was it the code, the community, or the person's employer that made their experience better or worse? How did people navigate difficulties? What are “best practices” to achieve “success” however that is defined for individuals, their organization, and/or their community? In this talk Ildiko and Phil share some of the most interesting take-aways from their conversations with podcast guests as well as from their own open source journeys, and invite the audience to join the conversation and share their experiences.

Open Source Compliance Management - Removing the Thorn from Your Company's Side - Eleftheria Stefanaki & Jimmy Ahlberg, Ericsson
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
This session covers two major topics: Firstly, the significance of an open source management system in the context of IP management for heavily software-dependent companies. Managing open source dependencies is a key pain-point, since so much of modern software development depends on it. Yet only a small number of people truly understand open source beyond “just the code”. Although a company's heavily intellectual property (IP)-involved departments deal with IP management everyday, they are oblivious to open source software. This talk suggests ways to translate the ‘open source talk’ and make these departments your comrades in arms. Secondly, the speakers introduce the OpenChain Specification 2.1 (ISO/IEC 5230:2020) on open source license compliance, aka a framework and a blueprint for how to translate open source management into IP management. This session gives you the tools to turn the view of open source from a potential liability to a valuable asset. The speakers pull from their experience working in IP heavy weights such as Ericsson (more than 60.000 granted patents globally) to put the above into context and give example of Ericsson’s ongoing journey in this area.
