The document discusses options for designing multi-threaded applications that use the Linux streams library. It notes that each FILE structure is locked to avoid race conditions between threads accessing the same stream. For best performance, threads should not share streams, or the unlocked stream operations can be used to avoid locking. With little thread contention, streams can be shared with minor delays from buffering. To reduce contention, locks can be managed manually between groups of unlocked operations.
A basic Introduction to Rust. Rust is a modern system programming language which offering different approach than other existing new modern system programming languages to deal with: memory safety without GC, abstraction without overhead, and concurrency without data races.

LAS16-400: Mini Conference 3 AOSP (Session 1)
Speakers: Thomas Gall, Bernhard Rosenkränzer
Date: September 29, 2016
★ Session Description ★
The Android Open Source Project is one community which is strategic to Linaro and it’s members. The purpose of this mini conference is to gather fellow Android engineers together from the community, member companies, and Linaro to discuss engineering activities and improve collaboration across different groups.
Within this mini conference we encourage discussion and presentations to advance engineering topics, forge consensus and educate each other.
The tentative agenda for this mini conference includes :
- Quick introduction
- Filesystems - Between requirements for encryption and standing concerns about degrading performance as an Android file system age, let’s have some discussion involving current data, known issues and towards improvements in this area for Android.
- HAL consolidation - Review current status and discuss next steps to work on.
One build for many devices: device/build configuration. Next features and platforms to add. Gaps in HiKey support vs. AOSP build.
- Graphics - YUV support in mesa and hwc.
- WiFi and sensor HAL status and next steps
- New developments with AOSP + the Kernel - With regards to the Google Common Kernel tree and upstream Linux kernel activities related to Android, there are a few topics up for discussion:
- - Updates on HiKey in AOSP
- - EAS in common.git & integration with AOSP userspace
- - New Sync API in 4.6+ kernels, and how it will affects graphics drivers
- AOSP transition to clang - As everyone knows GCC in AOSP has been deprecated. Let’s cover current status, issues and next steps. Let’s also discuss the elephant in the room, building the kernel with clang.
- Out of tree AOSP User space Patches - This is a discussion with the goal of organized action to see forward progress on AOSP user space patches that aren’t in AOSP for whatever reason.
- Android is used in some environments where booting can be frequent and affect the product experience. Do you want to wait for a minute while your car boots? We’ll spend time brainstorming on improving Android boot time.

High-Performance Networking Using eBPF, XDP, and io_uringScyllaDB
In the networking world there are a number of ways to increase performance over naive use of basic Berkeley sockets. These techniques have ranged from polling blocking sockets, non-blocking sockets controlled by Epoll, all the way through completely bypassing the Linux kernel for maximum network performance where you talk directly to the network interface card by using something like DPDK or Netmap. All these tools have their place, and generally occupy a space from convenience to performance. But in recent years, that landscape has changed massively.. The tools available to the average Linux systems developer have improved from the creation of io_uring, to the expansion of bpf from a simple filtering language to a full-on programming environment embedded directly in the kernel. Along with that came something called XDP (express datapath). This was Linux kernel's answer to kernel-bypass networking. AF_XDP is the new socket type created by this feature, and generally works very similarly to something like DPDK. History lessons out of the way, this talk will look into, and discuss the merits of this technology, it's place in the broader ecosystem and how it can be used to attain the highest level of performance possible. This talk will dive into crucial details, such as how AF_XDP works, how it can be integrated into a larger system and finally more advanced topics such as request sharding/load balancing. There will be detailed look at the design of AF_XDP, the eBpf code used, as well as the userspace code required to drive it all. It will also include performance numbers from this setup compared to regular kernel networking. And most importantly how to put all this together to handle as much data as possible on a single modern multi-core system.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
2. Streams and performance
● Since each FILE structure is held in user space
it could be accessed by two threads at the
same time.
● So the streams library locks each FILE to avoid
race conditions.
● You must take these locks into consideration
when designing a multi-threaded streams using
application.
3. Options for design – best option
● Don't use the same stream in different threads
● If you use the standard stream operation (without
the _unlocked suffix) then you get quite good
performance.
● This is due to the fact that uncontended locks in
Linux are acquired very fast in user space (futex).
● Or, you can go a step further and just use the
*_unlocked operations and get no locking at all.
4. Options for design – little contention
● If your application is not doing lots of IO then you
can just go ahead and use the same streams in
different threads with little contention.
● Remember that streams buffer in user space and
so most of the time you are causing very slight
delays (memcpy).
● In this case you must not use the _unlocked
versions of the functions.
5. Options for design – reducing
contention
● If you do contend on streams then you can
manage the locking yourself and get some more
performance.
● Use flockfile(3) and funlockfile(3) and between
them use the *_unlocked operations.
● If you have multiple IO operations between each
lock and unlock then you are saving the need to
acquire and release the lock multiple times.
6. Locking manually for transactional
IO
● If you have multiple threads that want to access the same
files using the streams library and you want each to perform
several IO operation without being interrupted then you must
resort to manual locking.
● Use flockfile(3) and funlockfile(3) and between them use the
*_unlocked operations.
● Note that this does not protect you from other processes
accessing the same file.
● If you put the FILE structures and their buffers (using
setbuffer) into shared memory you can use the streams
library for multi-processed designs.
