On the radar: GCC security policy

I want to try a little experiment here. As I spend my day screwing around on the net, I come across a lot of conversations that may or may not eventually make good LWN articles. I'll toss one of those out here occasionally and see if people find it useful. Appearance here does not mean that I will (or will not) write something about it later, only that it has caught my attention.

The first topic is a few weeks old but still possibly interesting: the GCC folks are working to hammer out a security policy, which comes down to laying out what does — or does not — constitute a GCC security bug:

https://lwn.net/ml/gcc-patches/CAGWvny=z1yotE-6geJL1j80qSeZU67h-ZENPowM=BSNm0nHOVA@mail.gmail.com/

Strangely enough, it turns out that if you feed untrusted source to the compiler and the result bites you, they don't think it's a compiler bug.

So I measured one change (the SLUB numa locality change) at a time and the data seems to be nice I think? (at least on my old Broadwell machine with 2 sockets)

The "Neither a win nor a loss" situation was because one change was a win and the other change was a loss.

But it's still synthetic hackbench and I wonder how it would perform on network benchmarks - but not sure if I could benchmark this enough on local env cuz I only have 2.5Gbps lan cards.

you're right :) I just wanted to note that we're close. I'm not into overthinking the whole 'best friends' thing.

Making a small progress on one of my TODOs: run automatic builds & tests using CI tools for MM development kernels

This is a jenkins configuration matrix specially targeting SLUB to cover various SLUB configurations. Only boot test is done atm.

There are many milestones on this project, which demands more time :P
