This document discusses Xen cache coloring and real-time performance in embedded systems. It introduces cache interference between virtual machines and the hypervisor solution of cache partitioning via cache coloring. Each VM is allocated its own portion of cache entries to prevent interference. Benchmark results show that with cache coloring, a motor control application execution time and interrupt response time remain stable even under high interference, whereas without coloring performance degrades significantly. Cache coloring effectively isolates workloads and enables mixed criticality systems on the same device.
Static Partitioning with Xen, LinuxRT, and Zephyr: A Concrete End-to-end Exam...Stefano Stabellini
Static partitioning enables multiple domains to run alongside each other with no interference. They could be running Linux, an RTOS, or another OS, and all of them have direct access to different portions of the SoC. In the last five years, the Xen community introduced several new features to make Xen-based static partitioning possible. Dom0less to start multiple static domains in parallel at boot, and Cache Coloring to minimize cache interference effects are among them. Static inter-domain communications mechanisms were introduced this year, while "ImageBuilder" has been making system-wide configurations easier. An easy-to-use complete solution is within our grasp. This talk will show the progress made on Xen static partitioning. The audience will learn to configure a realistic reference design with multiple partitions: a LinuxRT partition, a Zephyr partition, and a larger Linux partition. The presentation will show how to set up communication channels and direct hardware access for the domains. It will explain how to measure interrupt latency and use cache coloring to zero cache interference effects. The talk will include a live demo of the reference design.
Safety-Certifying Open Source Software: The Case of the Xen HypervisorStefano Stabellini
Safety is important to software everywhere human lives are at risk. In these environments often safety-certifications are required to ensure that the quality of the software is high enough to minimize the risk of harm to humans. Safety-certifications such as ISO 26262 come with a series of requirements and processes that sometimes clash with well-established Open Source software development practices. How do we reconcile safety-certifications with Open Source? This presentation will provide an answer to that question. Taking Xen as an example of an Open Source project with a rich 15+ years history, this presentation will explain the best way to match Open Source activities with safety-certification requirements. It will discuss the role of the upstream community and downstream vendors in achieving compliance with ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. It will go through the changes to Xen Project processes already underway and the ones planned for the future to align the Xen hypervisor with safety-certifications. The talk will cover MISRA, traceability, testing, etc., and the latest updates from the Xen FuSa working group.
Xen Project is a static partitioning hypervisor for embedded deployments (industrial, medical, etc.) Xen enforces strong isolation between domains so that one cannot affect the execution of another. Features such as cache coloring reduce interference and improve interrupt latency and determinism. A real-time workload can run alongside a more complex guest. But can it be used in safety-critical environments? The Xen hypervisor has a microkernel design: services and tools are non-essential and run in unprivileged VMs, while the core is less than 50K LOC. This architecture lends itself well to safety-critical applications as only the core is critical and needs to go through the certification process. This presentation will describe the activities of the Xen FuSa SIG (Special Interest Group) to make Xen easier to safety-certify. It will go through the aspects of Xen that pertain safety and it will explain how to set up a mixed-criticality system with Xen. The talk will discuss the challenges of making an Open Source project safety-certifiable and the progress that the Xen community made so far in the areas of documentation and requirements, MISRA-C code compliance, and interference reduction.
Xen on ARM for embedded and IoT: from secure containers to dom0less systemsStefano Stabellini
This document discusses Xen for embedded and IoT applications. It proposes ViryaOS, a new Xen Project sub-project that would provide a secure Xen-based container runtime and build system for embedded and IoT use cases.

Securing Prometheus exporters using HashiCorp VaultBram Vogelaar
Things like Infrastructure as Code, Service Discovery and Config Management can and have helped us to quickly build and rebuild infrastructure but we haven't nearly spend enough time to train our self to review, monitor and respond to outages. Does our platform degrade in a graceful way or what does a high cpu load really mean? What can we learn from level 1 outages to be able to run our platforms more reliably.
This talk will focus on on creating a secure prometheus exporter ecosystem using HashiCorp Vault where we can we be sure that we are not leaking any business metrics from our observability stack. After which we ll investigate how to automatically rotate the certificates we created to do so.

This document discusses Xen Dom0-less, an approach to running Xen virtual machines without a privileged Domain 0. Traditionally Xen uses a Dom0 to perform boot and configuration tasks, but this adds complexity. Dom0-less allows VMs to boot directly on the hardware using the device tree protocol. This reduces boot time and complexity while enabling safer configurations. Challenges include lack of VM monitoring and PV device support without Dom0. The status is that basic Dom0-less booting is implemented in Xen but more work is needed for true Dom0-less and PV device drivers.

DevConf-2018
Gluster storage is integrated with oVirt as file based storage using FUSE, enabling all oVirt features with very little special code. However FUSE is not the most efficient and scalable way to access Gluster storage, resulting in poor virtual machine performance. With newly added native Gluster support a VM can access gluster storage directly in the most efficient way. Decreased storage access latency results in a better IOPS, thus making storage more responsive and improve the VMs performance. Participants will be able to learn more on how file system access works for VMs, review the reason for potential performance issues in hyperconverged setups, and how to improve it.

It discusses gathering important information about the existing DB2 environment, the high-level phases of the migration including establishing Teradata infrastructure, migrating data, processes and applications, and establishing a production environment. It also covers specific considerations for migrating the physical database including options for converting DB2 tables and indexes to Teradata.
Optimizing Kubernetes Resource Requests/Limits for Cost-Efficiency and Latenc...Henning Jacobs
Kubernetes has the concept of resource requests and limits. Pods get scheduled on the nodes based on their requests and optionally limited in how much of the resource they can consume. Understanding and optimizing resource requests/limits is crucial both for reducing resource "slack" and ensuring application performance/low-latency. This talk shows our approach to monitoring and optimizing Kubernetes resources for 80+ clusters to achieve cost-efficiency and reducing impact for latency-critical applications. All shown tools are Open Source and can be applied to most Kubernetes deployments.

Accelerating Virtual Machine Access with the Storage Performance Development ...Michelle Holley
Abstract: Although new non-volatile media inherently offers very low latency, remote access
using protocols such as NVMe-oF and presenting the data to VMs via virtualized interfaces such as virtio
adds considerable software overhead. One way to reduce the overhead is to use the Storage
Performance Development Kit (SPDK), an open-source software project that provides building blocks for
scalable and efficient storage applications with breakthrough performance. Comparing the software
paths for virtualizing block storage I/O illustrates the advantages of the SPDK-based approach. Empirical
data shows that using SPDK can improve CPU efficiency by up to 10 x and reduce latency up to 50% over
existing methods. Future enhancements for SPDK will make its advantages even greater.
Speaker Bio: Anu Rao is Product line manager for storage software in Data center Group. She helps
customer ease into and adopt open source Storage software like Storage Performance Development Kit
(SPDK) and Intelligent Software Acceleration-Library (ISA-L).
Eitaro Fukamachi gave a presentation on writing a fast HTTP parser in Common Lisp called fast-http. He explained that the bottleneck in the Wookie web framework was HTTP parsing, which was slower than Node.js. This was because Node.js uses the C-based and highly optimized http-parser library. Eitaro discussed how fast-http achieves high performance through an architecture that reduces memory allocation and uses the right data types, as well as through benchmarking, profiling, and type declarations to provide hints to the compiler. The goal was to write carefully optimized Lisp code that could match or beat C in performance for complex programs like an HTTP parser.
XPDDS18: Design and Implementation of Automotive: Virtualization Based on Xen...The Linux Foundation
This talk presents a production-ready automotive virtualization solution with Xen. The key requirements that we focus are super-fast startup and recovery from failure, static virtual machine creation with dedicated resources, and performance effective graphics rendering. To reduce the boot time, we optimize the Xen startup procedure by effectively initializing Xen heap and VM memory, and booting multiple VMs concurrently. We provide fast recovery mechanism by re-implementing the VM reset feature. We also develop a highly optimized graphics APIs-forwarding mechanism supporting OpenGLES APIs up to v3.2. The pass rate of Khronos CTS in a guest OS is comparable to the Domain0’s. Our experiment shows that our virtualization solution provides reasonable performance for ARM-based automotive systems (hypervisor booting: less than 70ms, graphics performance: about 96% of Domain0).

pgsodium is a Postgres extension that provides an alternative to pgcrypto with encryption functions that wrap the libsodium encryption library. It offers features like multi-layered role-based access to symmetric functions, integration with key management systems, end-to-end encryption with key exchange, and streaming encryption with forward secrecy. It aims to address limitations of pgcrypto like lack of key derivation, public key signing, and missing cryptography functions.
This document provides an overview of Gerrit Code Review, including:
- Gerrit allows code review of commits before they are integrated into branches through a "push for code review" workflow. It creates changes and change refs for pushed commits.
- Changes can be reviewed through the Gerrit web interface by viewing diffs and leaving comments. Reviewers can vote on changes using configurable review labels like "Code-Review".
- The standard workflow involves pushing commits for review, reviewing and voting on changes, and then submitting approved changes to branches. Gerrit integrates with Git and provides access controls and permissions on repositories.

XPDDS19 Keynote: Xen Dom0-less - Stefano Stabellini, Principal Engineer, XilinxThe Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce Dom0-less: a new way of using Xen to build mixed-criticality solutions. Dom0-less is a Xen feature that adds a novel approach to static partitioning based on virtualization. It allows multiple domains to start at boot time directly from the Xen hypervisor, decreasing boot times dramatically. Xen userspace tools, such as xl and libvirt, become optional.
Dom0-less extends the existing device tree based Xen boot protocol to cover information required by additional domains. Binaries, such as kernels and ramdisks, are loaded by the bootloader (u-boot) and advertised to Xen via new device tree bindings.
The audience will learn how to use Dom0-less to partition the system. Uboot and device tree configuration details will be explained to enable the audience to get the most out of this feature. The talk will include a status update and details on future plans.
The document describes the data structures used to represent I2C buses, devices, drivers, and clients in the Linux kernel. It explains how a new I2C bus instance is recognized, how devices are added to the I2C bus, and how an I2C device driver is added and bound to devices. Key data structures include i2c_adapter, i2c_client, i2c_driver, and the device/driver model links between them.
Identifying privilege escalation paths within an Active Directory environment is crucial for a successful red team. Over the last few years, BloodHound has made it easier for red teamers to perform reconnaissance activities and identify these attacks paths. When evaluating BloodHound data, it is common to find ourselves having sufficient rights to modify a Group Policy Object (GPO). This level of access allows us to perform a number of attacks, targeting any computer or user object controlled by the vulnerable GPO.
In this talk we will present previous research related to GPO abuses and share a number of misconfigurations we have found in the wild. We will also present a tool that allows red teamers to target users and computers controlled by a vulnerable GPO in order to escalate privileges and move laterally within the environment.
This document discusses Microservices and Docker Swarm. It begins by introducing the presenter and their background. It then defines what a microservice is and introduces Docker. Key concepts about Docker Swarm are explained such as swarm features, service discovery without an external database, and the swarm concept of managers, workers, services and tasks. It demonstrates how to build a swarm cluster and add nodes, and discusses security, routing mesh, scaling, reverse proxy, rolling updates and secrets. Finally it briefly mentions logging, metrics and dashboard tools to monitor Docker systems.
Softlayer began in 2005 and was acquired by IBM in 2013. It provides cloud computing infrastructure including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Rendering animation requires huge computing resources and time. Rendering a single animated film can require 300+ artists, 17,000+ CPU cores, 75 million CPU hours and 500 million digital files. Keeping resources on-premises to render films can cost millions whereas cloud infrastructure from Softlayer provides scalable resources more cost effectively. While security and cost concerns still hold the media industry back from fully adopting the cloud, its popularity for rendering is projected to grow to 88% within a year and 60% within 5 years.

Pierre Paulin, Director of R&D for Embedded Vision at Synopsys, presents the “Trends in Neural Network Topologies for Vision at the Edge” tutorial at the September 2020 Embedded Vision Summit.
The widespread adoption of deep neural networks (DNNs) in embedded vision applications has increased the importance of creating DNN topologies that maximize accuracy while minimizing computation and memory requirements. This has led to accelerated innovation in DNN topologies.
In this talk, Paulin summarizes the key trends in neural network topologies for embedded vision applications, highlighting techniques employed by widely used networks such as EfficientNet and MobileNet to boost both accuracy and efficiency. He also touches on other optimization methods—such as pruning, compression and layer fusion—that developers can use to further reduce the memory and computation demands of modern DNNs.

This document provides an overview of Gerrit Code Review, including:
- Gerrit allows code review of commits before they are integrated into branches through a "push for code review" workflow. It creates changes and change refs for pushed commits.
- Changes can be reviewed through the Gerrit web interface by viewing diffs and leaving comments. Reviewers can vote on changes using configurable review labels like "Code-Review".
- The standard workflow involves pushing commits for review, reviewing and voting on changes, and then submitting approved changes to branches. Gerrit integrates with Git and provides access controls and permissions on repositories.

XPDDS19 Keynote: Xen Dom0-less - Stefano Stabellini, Principal Engineer, XilinxThe Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce Dom0-less: a new way of using Xen to build mixed-criticality solutions. Dom0-less is a Xen feature that adds a novel approach to static partitioning based on virtualization. It allows multiple domains to start at boot time directly from the Xen hypervisor, decreasing boot times dramatically. Xen userspace tools, such as xl and libvirt, become optional.
Dom0-less extends the existing device tree based Xen boot protocol to cover information required by additional domains. Binaries, such as kernels and ramdisks, are loaded by the bootloader (u-boot) and advertised to Xen via new device tree bindings.
The audience will learn how to use Dom0-less to partition the system. Uboot and device tree configuration details will be explained to enable the audience to get the most out of this feature. The talk will include a status update and details on future plans.
The document describes the data structures used to represent I2C buses, devices, drivers, and clients in the Linux kernel. It explains how a new I2C bus instance is recognized, how devices are added to the I2C bus, and how an I2C device driver is added and bound to devices. Key data structures include i2c_adapter, i2c_client, i2c_driver, and the device/driver model links between them.
Identifying privilege escalation paths within an Active Directory environment is crucial for a successful red team. Over the last few years, BloodHound has made it easier for red teamers to perform reconnaissance activities and identify these attacks paths. When evaluating BloodHound data, it is common to find ourselves having sufficient rights to modify a Group Policy Object (GPO). This level of access allows us to perform a number of attacks, targeting any computer or user object controlled by the vulnerable GPO.
In this talk we will present previous research related to GPO abuses and share a number of misconfigurations we have found in the wild. We will also present a tool that allows red teamers to target users and computers controlled by a vulnerable GPO in order to escalate privileges and move laterally within the environment.
This document discusses Microservices and Docker Swarm. It begins by introducing the presenter and their background. It then defines what a microservice is and introduces Docker. Key concepts about Docker Swarm are explained such as swarm features, service discovery without an external database, and the swarm concept of managers, workers, services and tasks. It demonstrates how to build a swarm cluster and add nodes, and discusses security, routing mesh, scaling, reverse proxy, rolling updates and secrets. Finally it briefly mentions logging, metrics and dashboard tools to monitor Docker systems.
Softlayer began in 2005 and was acquired by IBM in 2013. It provides cloud computing infrastructure including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Rendering animation requires huge computing resources and time. Rendering a single animated film can require 300+ artists, 17,000+ CPU cores, 75 million CPU hours and 500 million digital files. Keeping resources on-premises to render films can cost millions whereas cloud infrastructure from Softlayer provides scalable resources more cost effectively. While security and cost concerns still hold the media industry back from fully adopting the cloud, its popularity for rendering is projected to grow to 88% within a year and 60% within 5 years.

XDF18: Heterogeneous Real-Time SoC Software Architecture - Stefano Stabellini...The Linux Foundation
Hypervisors are key to enable mixed-criticality systems: a critical workload, typically with real-time requirements, running alongside a larger operating system, such as Linux. The interrupt latency needs to be deterministic, and the boot time of the critical function only a fraction of a second. Hypervisors are also the enabling technology to securely deploy new customers apps at runtime, without affecting system safety.
This presentation will give an overview of hypervisor technologies for Xilinx platforms. It will introduce the most recent developments of the Xen hypervisor, including the "null" scheduler and dom0less, and it will explain how to make use of the new features to best configure Xen for embedded environments.
Luca Relandini - Microservices and containers networking: Contiv, deep dive a...Codemotion

System Device Tree and Lopper: Concrete Examples - ELC NA 2022Stefano Stabellini
System Device Tree is an extension to Device Tree to describe all the hardware on an SoC, including heterogeneous CPU clusters and secure resources not typically visible to an Operating System like Linux. This full view allows the System Device Tree to be the "One true source" of the entire hardware description and helps to prevent the common (and hard-to-debug) problem of conflicting resources and system consistency. Lopper is an Open Source framework to parse and manipulate System Device Tree. With Lopper, it is possible to generate multiple traditional Device Trees from a single larger System Device Tree. This presentation will provide an overview of System Device Tree and will discuss the latest updates of the specification and tooling. The talk will illustrate multiple use-cases for System Device Tree with concrete examples, such as Linux running on the more powerful CPU cluster and Zephyr running on a smaller Cortex-R cluster. It will also show how to use Lopper to generate multiple traditional Device Trees targeting different OSes, not just Linux but also Zephyr/other RTOSes. Finally, an end-to-end demo based on Yocto to build a complete heterogeneous system with multiple OSes and RTOSes running on different clusters on a single reference board will be shown.
Static partitioning is becoming increasingly common in embedded. A static hypervisor, such as Xen dom0less, is employed to split the hardware resources into multiple domains and run a different OS in each domain. For instance, Linux and Zephyr. Only the simplest static partitioning configurations don't involve any data exchanges between the domains. Often, communication and data exchanges between two or more environments are required to complete the data processing pipeline that implements the target application. However, the VM-to-VM communication mechanisms available in static partitioning configurations are typically more limited compared to general-purpose hypervisors. For example, PV drivers are not available to Xen dom0less domains. This presentation will discuss the need for communication in static partitioning setups and it will present the technical challenges involved in getting traditional communication methods to work, including Xen PV drivers and VirtIO. The talk will also provide simpler alternatives based on shared memory and interrupt notifications to set up domain-to-domain data streams: simpler techniques that are easily exploitable both by Linux and by tiny baremetal applications as well.
RunX is a new OCI-compatible containers runtime that starts containers as Xen virtual machines (VMs). It is written to be very simple with minimal overhead and supports real-time capabilities, accelerators, and secure defaults. RunX is a new project under the Linux Foundation Edge umbrella and is open to contributions from the start. It uses a minimal Linux kernel and Busybox-based ramdisk to boot regular containers as VMs within a pristine container environment using tiny micro-VMs optimized for embedded systems. RunX implementations choices include being easy to build and run with minimal dependencies and not requiring in-guest agents to reduce overhead.
Containers are incredibly convenient to package applications and deploy them quickly across the data center.
This talk will introduce RunX, a new project under LF Edge that aims at bringing containers to the edge with extra benefits. At the core, RunX is an OCI-compatible container runtime to run software packaged as containers as Xen micro-VMs. RunX allows traditional containers to be executed with a minimal overhead as virtual machines, providing additional isolation and real-time support.
It also introduces new types of containers designed with edge and embedded deployments in mind. RunX enables RTOSes, and baremetal apps to be packaged as containers, delivered to the target using the powerful containers infrastructure, and deployed at runtime as Xen micro-VMs. Physical resources can be dynamically assigned to them, such as accelerators and FPGA blocks.
This presentation will go through the architecture of RunX and the new deployment scenarios it enables. It will provide an overview of the integration with Yocto Project via the meta-virtualization layer and describe how to build a complete system with Xen and RunX.
The presentation will come with a live demo on embedded hardware.
System Device Tree & Lopper
The document discusses using a System Device Tree (S-DT) and the open source Lopper tool to simplify hardware resource allocation and configuration across multiple operating systems and firmware. An S-DT describes all hardware resources that can later be divided into partitions or domains. Lopper takes an S-DT as input, prunes it to generate traditional device trees for each domain, and handles address mapping and other transformations. The document outlines ongoing work to specify shared resource allocation, bus firewall configuration, and integration with RemoteProc in the S-DT to further standardize the process.
Hypervisors are becoming more and more widespread in embedded environments, from automotive to medical and avionics. Their use case is different from traditional server and desktop virtualization, and so are their requirements. This talk will explain why hypervisors are used in embedded, and the unique challenges posed by these environments to virtualization technologies.
Xen, a popular open source hypervisor, was born to virtualize x86 Linux systems for the data center. It is now the leading open source hypervisor for ARM embedded platforms. The presentation will show how the ARM port of Xen differs from its x86 counterpart. It will go through the fundamental design decisions that made Xen a good choice for ARM embedded virtualization. The talk will explain the implementation of key features such as device assignment and interrupt virtualization.
Xen is an open-source type-1 hypervisor that has been ported to run on ARM architecture. The port started in 2011 and ARM Holdings joined the Xen Project in 2013. Xen has a small code base, strong security features, and powers many large cloud computing installations. It is widely used in Linux distributions for ARM64 systems.
The document discusses efforts to improve Xen as a hypervisor for OpenStack. It notes goals of making Xen a good platform for OpenStack production and development. In January 2015, Xen via Libvirt was in group C of the OpenStack integration classification, with no automated testing working. By June 2015, significant progress had been made, with Xen via Libvirt reaching group B, all Tempest tests passing on the latest OpenStack and libvirt trees. The Xen Project now has an OpenStack CI loop for automated testing with voting rights. Instructions are provided for deploying OpenStack on Xen using DevStack.
As part of the process of building Xen, the current build system clones multiple external git trees and compile them. For example Seabios and QEMU are imported using this mechanism. The process is unfriendly to Linux distributions, which have the requirement of building each component just once, and is unfriendly to users, who often find it confusing and inflexible. A new tool was created to solve this problem.
This talk will introduce Raisin: a source distribution system for the Xen Project. Raisin offers a generic framework to deploy any Xen related projects from source. Currently it supports QEMU, SeaBIOS, OVMF, Linux, Libvirt and blktap, but is very easy to extend. Raisin also helps developers by providing quick validation tests that can be run against local changes.
The presentation will explain the goals of the project, the current status, and the best ways to use it.
This document discusses using Xen as the hypervisor for OpenStack. It notes that Xen is a small, open source type-1 hypervisor that currently powers over 50% of public cloud infrastructure. The goals are to make Xen a great platform for OpenStack production and development by getting it to group A status within OpenStack within 1 year. It describes installing Ubuntu, Xen, and Devstack to deploy OpenStack on Xen and fixing bugs encountered along the way, including two Xen bugs in Nova and one in Libvirt. Current status is that everything works out of the box with the latest OpenStack and Libvirt using Xen.
