  2. Linux Kernel Module Continuous Address Space Re-Randomization

    Nadeem, Muhammad HassanVirginia Tech2020

    … While this technique is widely studied, its kernel space counterpart known as kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR) has received less attention in the research community. KASLR, as it is implemented today is limited in entropy of randomization. Specifically, the kernel image and …

    Lamps, Jereme MatthewUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    … processes in virtual time is very useful to the Linux Kernel. Each process may be directed to advance in virtual time either more quickly or more slowly than actual (real) time. This allows interactions between processes and physical devices to be artificially scaled. For example, a network may …

  7. On the implications of unsafe eBPF composition

    Somaraju, Sai RoopVirginia Tech2024

    In the era of Linux being omnipresent, the demand for dynamically extending kernel capabil- ities without requiring changes to kernel source code or loading kernel modules at runtime is increasing. This is driven by numerous use cases such as observability, security, and network- ing, which can be …

We discuss the necessary features for datapaths to support the user-space CCP agent and develop a library, libccp, for software datapaths. We use QUIC as a case study to design a CCP datapath and evaluate various congestion control …

    Boyd-Wickizer, SilasMassachusetts Institute of Technology2014

    … for some applications, such as operating system kernels, parallelization reveals inter-core communication as a performance bottleneck. When data is updated on one core and read or written on other cores, the cache coherence protocol serializes accesses to the data. The result is that each access …
