Kernel Recipes 2017 - Understanding the Linux kernel via ftrace - Steven RostedtAnne Nicolas
Ftrace is the official tracer of the Linux kernel. It has been apart of Linux since 2.6.31, and has grown tremendously ever since. Ftrace’s name comes from its most powerful feature: function tracing. But the ftrace infrastructure is much more than that. It also encompasses the trace events that are used by perf, as well as kprobes that can dynamically add trace events that the user defines.
This talk will focus on learning how the kernel works by using the ftrace infrastructure. It will show how to see what happens within the kernel during a system call; learn how interrupts work; see how ones processes are being scheduled, and more. A quick introduction to some tools like trace-cmd and KernelShark will also be demonstrated.

The webinar will review a multi-layered framework for PostgreSQL security, with a deeper focus on limiting access to the database and data, as well as securing the data.
Using the popular AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Auditing) framework we will cover:
- Best practices for authentication (trust, certificate, MD5, Scram, etc).
- Advanced approaches, such as password profiles.
- Deep dive of authorization and data access control for roles, database objects (tables, etc), view usage, row-level security, and data redaction.
- Auditing, encryption, and SQL injection attack prevention.
Note: this session is delivered in German

In this PowerPoint, learn how a security policy can be your first line of defense. Servers running AIX and other operating systems are frequent targets of cyberattacks, according to the Data Breach Investigations Report. From DoS attacks to malware, attackers have a variety of strategies at their disposal. Having a security policy in place makes it easier to ensure you have appropriate controls in place to protect mission-critical data.
Database firewall is a useful tool that monitor databases to identify and protect against database specific attacks that mostly seek to access sensitive information stored in the databases. However the commercial database firewalls are expensive and needs specific product knowledge, while the opensource database firewalls are designed for specific opensource database servers.
In order to fulfill the need of inexpensive database firewall, Snort - an opensource IDS/IPS - is possible to achieve the goal in some scenarios with familiar rule writing. The paper will explain the limitation of Snort as a database firewall, constraints in commercial database statement and some example implementation.
A Percona Support Engineer Walkthrough on pt-stalkMarcelo Altmann
This presentation shows the approach we use to diagnostic performance issues on the customer. We explain the USE method and how you can relate it with pt-stalk
A beginners guide to get familiar with the Linux and learn the most commonly and frequently used commands. Most of the commands are expected to run across all well known Linux distributions. Plus, there are a few commands for the advanced users as well.
this slide is created for understand open vswitch more easily.
so I tried to make it practical. if you just follow up this scenario, then you will get some knowledge about OVS.
In this document, I mainly use only two command "ip" and "ovs-vsctl" to show you the ability of these commands.

Jserv gave a talk about the conceptual introduction to LLVM. The session mentioned the evolution of compiler technologies, paradigm shift, LLVM as a promising open source project, and how LLVM changes the IT world.
