BKK19-105 gVisor Container on Arm64: Let‘s Talk about Our Progress!

Google has released gVisor in 9 months ago, a new kind of sandbox that can be used to provide secure
isolation for containers that is less resource intensive than running a full virtual machine (VM).

At its core, gVisor is an open source user-space kernel, written in Go,
that implements a substantial portion of the Linux system surface.
It includes an Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime called runsc that provides an isolation boundary between the application and the host kernel.
The runsc runtime integrates with Docker and Kubernetes, making it simple to run sandboxed container.

Now, we have enabled gVisor ptrace platform on Arm64 platform. In this presentation, we will introduce and show our progress.
Also we will show a demo of gVisor on Arm64 platform.

ne of the challenging tasks of TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) is it’s low latency and bounded jitter strict requirements. Although XDP (eXpress Data Path) does not offer any jitter guarantees it offers significantly lower latency, by offloading traffic off the kernel and directly into user-space sockets (AF_XDP), compared to the linux kernel network stack. This talk is about a brief XDP introduction and the latency numbers we got on our initial tests.

BKK19-200K1 KEYNOTE: Enabling vertical ecosystem to unleash the potential of diversified computing

The future is an intelligent digital world, where everything is to be sensible, connected to the cloud and AI enabled. That brings huge amount of information, and the relative calculation power
requirements. However the scenarios for computing applications are varied. The diversity of applications and the resulting data are also diverse. Diverse applications produce diverse data,
including text, images, and video, as well as structured, unstructured data.

Because of the diversity of data, the appreciated computing architectures are also diverse. The ARM architecture has proved its value in the consumer-grade terminal industry. With the
continuous innovation of ARM architecture, the performance of enterprise-grade ARM CPU will be greatly improved, ARM architecture is moving toward edge computing and data centers from the end, however an open ecosystem is critical for this leap.
In this presentation Huawei will share their opinion and plans on how to build an open, competitive and win-win ARM data center ecosystem with industry partners.

BKK19-200K2 KEYNOTE: Open Source QA - what will it take to get to the next level

Over the last 20 years, Open Source software has made incredible inroads and become the de-facto standard for system software in many market categories. The same is not true of Open Source Quality Assurance. Despite the availability of many QA resources that are Open Source, the testing landscape is very fragmented, and there are lots of areas where in-house and ad-hoc testing hardware, code and methods are used.

In this keynote, Tim will describe barriers to sharing existing tests and test infrastructure. Tim will give his insights about what will it take to get Quality Assurance to the same level of ubiquity, quality, community, ease of deployment, and low cost, as Open Source coding.

BKK19-211 Harmonizing open source test definitions

Different test frameworks have very different approaches to tests, including when they run, how they are run, what data formats are used, and what the various fields are that control test operation and results analysis. Recently, Tim has conducted a survey of different "test definitions", in an attempt to cull best practices and search for commonality that will lead to enhanced interoperability between test systems. In this session, Tim will present the results of his survey, and make suggestions for areas where tests could be harmonized, and used in common between Fuego and Lava - two test systems with very different approaches.

BKK19-402 Inferencing at the edge and Fragmentation Challenges

As deep learning (DL) expands is application into ever more areas, DL at the edge has become an area of rapid innovation and has also become highly fragmented. This creates a challenge in the ecosystem for framework providers that want to take advantage of specialized hardware, and an equal challenge for SoC providers, or makers of DL accelerators that need to support various frameworks, customer innovations, device constraints, etc. This talk will explore what constitutes DL at the edge, it will highlight the recent trends in this area from runtimes and compilers, to model formats, and explore the challenges, and scalability needs of collaborative solutions.

BKK19-400K1 KEYNOTE: Digital transformation: Gains and Pains from the perspective of a large industry company

Everybody wants to be digital. But getting there can be an interesting journey, especially for an industrial company with few digital roots.
How do cultural change, business model innovation, new (and old) technologies and open source play together in such an environment?
And how are industry alliances and communities fitting in with this? Some tales from the coal face will be shared to illustrate this.

BKK19-412 Scheduling in CI/CD systems

Modern CI/CD systems receive a wide variety of workloads, everything from quick jobs with simple dependencies that take less than a minute all the way up to full operating system rebuilds that can take hours or days. The needs of the software developer for quick turnaround of routine jobs are balanced against the system architect's expectation that expensive systems should not see undue amounts of idle time.

This analysis looks at the challenges faced by a CI/CD system that incorporates a variety of machines of varying capacities, hosted by different organizations, where the individual systems themselves have varying degrees of parallel compute capabilities. We identify several real-world systems - NixOS's "nixpkgs", the FreeBSD build system, the LLVM build farm, and others - to pick out some important considerations.

BKK19-419 Debugging with OP-TEE

Debugging trusted applications (and OP-TEE itself) can be difficult because, for very good reasons, secure software is often reluctant to disclose information about its operation to the non-secure world, meaning is does not have access to the rich facilities in operating systems such as GNU/Linux that would normally be used for system level debug.

In this session we will discuss the common debug techniques used to debug secure applications. We will also look at how it is possible to implement function tracing to help solve problems, especially on platforms where JTAG debug is unavailable.

BKK19-503 VMs in a container-centric world

While Virtual Machines have been around for many decades containers are a relatively new development. Their usage has grown rapidly as users have started designing solutions using swarms of micro services in on-demand clouds managed by orchestration systems. At the same time containers are really just a group of processes sharing a host kernel which has led to concerns about security and isolation if things go wrong. Efforts are now underway to bring the strong isolation of virtual machines into the free-wheeling world of rapidly updated
containerised applications.

This talk will give an overview of the two technologies and how they are being brought together to provide the best of both worlds. This includes topics such as making orchestration systems VM aware as well as projects to move container run times into specialised virtual machines. We will also discuss what else needs to be done to enable the ARM eco-system to take advantage of these two complimentary technologies.

BKK19-500K1 KEYNOTE: Linux Code of Conduct

A fundamental change is happening in the way software is made in the
FOSS communities in the 21st century. These communities are now mature
and the people who work there understand their work place differently.
Over a decade and a half as more and more companies employ developers to
contribute to FOSS and the communities become diverse, different
expectations have begun to emerge from all stakeholders. These global
communities have narrower social interactions, say, around a water
cooler or in person, therefore, putting a premium on the way their
internal intermediated communication is conducted. This talk will
examine why Code of Conduct in this new world are on the rise and are a
positive sign for mature FOSS projects that govern themselves and don't
like suits. It will explore ways of managing legal risk by drafting
codes of conduct addressing bias, creating a frictionless reporting
mechanism for legal incident response, and making the project a fun,
inclusive productive place.

BKK19-500K2 KEYNOTE: Open Source Building Blocks

Much of the innovation today can be contributed to various forms of open source software initiatives. This open source collaboration has produced a number of essential open source building blocks used in advanced next generation solutions such as machine learning, IoT, and wireless connectivity. However to effectively use these open source building blocks, engineering organizations much ensure the proper underlying infrastructure is in place to allow for portability, performance, interoperability and scale. This talk will provide some context and examples around this growing software development model in the semiconductor industry.

BKK19-513 TF-A: Dynamic Configuration and PIE support

This is a presentation on Dynamic Configuration and the associated Position Independent Executable Support (PIE) in Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A).

SFO17 had a BoF session (by Dan Handley) to discuss the implementation plan for dynamic configuration in firmware. General agreement was that this is a good feature to do and some of the envisaged use-cases were:
* Dynamic config of secure firmware features
* Dynamic firmware config using hardware configuration, security policies
* Modification of hardware configuration as seen by other software
* Centralized static firmware configuration etc

The presentation will focus on the implementation of dynamic configuration and how it can be utilized by TF-A partners. Some illustrations wherein ARM platforms dynamically configure the firmware for functionality and memory savings will also be provided.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support for TF-A has been a long pending request from TF-A partners. The presentation will describe the technical details on how this feature was implemented in AArch64 version of TF-A. It will also cover some limitations of the implemented `dynamic relocation fixup` code.
