An Approach To Managing CVEs With Vendor Kernels - Jan Pfiffner, Grossenbacher Systeme AG
Wednesday October 7, 2026 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
South Hall 3 B (Floor 3)
Managing vulnerabilities in the kernel has gotten more attention but also needs more effort due to the exploding number of CVEs. With the kernel now being a CNA since 2024, options have evolved, and most recently, since 596ad6c on openembedded-core/master, it has gotten "easy". But this is not working for vendor kernels, as they lag mainline and a rebase is impractical, if not impossible, due to...

Modern SoCs have a variety of CPU cores on board - e.g. on ARM we often see Cortex A, plus Cortex M, plus System Controllers. The number of cores is as increasing as the demands. Concepts like 'Software Defined Vehicle' (SDV) from the automotive sector is just one example for such complex demands. One obvious requirement is to run other OS than Linux on dedicated cores.

Kernel and embedded Linux engineers often need to reproduce a build or test from someone else. In practice this is still harder than it should be. A kernel may be built with one toolchain. The rootfs may come from a local build. Firmware may have changed. A model may need specific variables. Continuous Integration (CI) and lab runs may hide setup steps in scripts or jobs. Then someone asks: Can...

Sponsored Session: Your Dev Environment Is Probably Slowing You Down - Ben Potter, Coder
Wednesday October 7, 2026 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
South Hall 2 A (Floor 2)
Every developer has felt it: a fresh clone that takes hours to get running, a build that only works on one machine, or a setup that's impossible for a teammate - or an AI agent - to reproduce.As projects grow, developer environments become infrastructure in their own right. Get them wrong, and onboarding slows, builds become fragile, and "works on my machine" never really goes away.This talk...

CRA Readiness With SPDX 3 SBOMs in Zephyr - Benjamin Cabé, The Linux Foundation
Wednesday October 7, 2026 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
South Hall 2 B (Floor 2)
SBOMs for embedded firmware are harder than simple dependency lists. A Zephyr-based product typically combines upstream Zephyr code, vendor HALs, out-of-tree modules, binary blobs, generated files, Kconfig and devicetree configuration, and of course user/application code. Some of these pieces end up in the final firmware image, some do not, and yet it is important to have a clear picture of what...

Thursday October 8, 2026 11:40 - 12:20 CEST
Small Hall (Floor 0)
For a decade, the default answer to "where does Kubernetes run" was someone else's cloud. But lately, regulated organizations, telcos, banks, and the public sector are pulling sensitive workloads back onto hardware they own and operate — for cost, performance, sovereignty, and increasingly to run AI and GPU workloads they control. The hard part is doing that without giving up the automation the...

Beyond Cyclictest: Evaluating Real-Time Linux Through Real Interrupt Workloads - Koshiro Onuki, Toshiba Corporation
Thursday October 8, 2026 11:40 - 12:20 CEST
South Hall 3 A (Floor 3)
Real-time Linux systems are often judged with timer-based benchmarks such as cyclictest, a useful baseline for wakeup latency caused by scheduling and system activity. Yet many embedded workloads are driven by external events, not periodic timers: GPIO edges, network packets, serial I/O, or other hardware interrupts. In these systems, the critical value is the latency from an interrupt to a...

Thursday October 8, 2026 13:50 - 14:30 CEST
South Hall 2 B (Floor 2)
Zephyr's new USB support has been in development for some time. It consists of USB device and USB host support. The new device support has been the default for the last two releases. Work on the device part also introduced initial support for the host stack at that time. This was primarily necessary to enable USB/IP support on the native_sim board. Johann will start with a brief overview of the...

Traditionally, embedded systems were simple enough that an initramfs was not needed at all. This has changed in the last recent years with new requirements, often related to verified boot. That means that additional steps are now needed before the rootfs can be mounted. Existing solutions, such as the Yocto initramfs-framework have significant drawbacks.

In Zephyr, subsystems, middleware, and application components typically depend on one or more lower-level device driver APIs.

Open source communities are like a busy marketplace from some fantasy book. They are crowded, full of magic, and have all kinds of information. You will meet there many different characters: the wizards who saw everything twice and have every answer; the newbies who just landed and are completely lost; or the jumpy folks looking desperately for some quick fix for their production issue. It can be...

Every time you write data to or read data from a storage device in Linux, multiple caches are involved: the page cache (located in the memory) on the VFS layer, different kinds of caches on the storage devices (SSDs, HDDs) and controllers, and maybe filesystem-level or device mapper-level caches, too. The caches help you to boost the I/O performance, but they also increase the risk of data loss...

XDP & XSK Support From a Linux Driver Standpoint - Théo Lebrun, Bootlin
Friday October 9, 2026 09:05 - 09:45 CEST
South Hall 3 C (Floor 3)
XDP (eXpress Data Path) is about running eBPF programs on network packets as early as possible. The goal of such an approach is performance: we minimise operating system networking stack overhead by letting the user decide which packets should reach it. XSK is an extension to XDP allowing zero-copy redirect from the Ethernet driver directly to userspace processes. This approach approximates...

Clocks in Zephyr: A Practical Guide for BSP Developers (Lesson Learned From a Real Porting) - Martin Hoff, Silicon Laboratories
Friday October 9, 2026 09:05 - 09:45 CEST
South Hall 2 A (Floor 2)
Clocks are easy to ignore until your first Zephyr BSP port — when UART, SPI, or DMA suddenly depend on device tree properties you have never touched. This beginner-friendly talk explains how clocks work in Zephyr today: clocks as phandle-arrays (like pwms and gpios), the meaning of #clock-cells, and how DT macros connect DTS to driver code. We separate three everyday questions: enabling a clock,...

Booting mainline Linux on a Snapdragon SoC is a great step, but it is very different from shipping a product. In standard vendor BSPs, power and performance tuning is often hidden behind blobs and downstream hacks. When you build a commercial device entirely on upstream Linux and U-Boot, you lose those vendor shortcuts. You have to understand the hardware deeply to balance battery life and...

A pull_request_target trigger plus ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} in a checkout step. That combination lets any external contributor run arbitrary code with your repository's secrets and write token. This is the "pwn request" pattern, and it's in production workflows across some of the most popular open-source projects on GitHub. I'll use a real finding (a CRITICAL-severity pwn...

Why We Fixed It Upstream: A Telco Perspective - Kashif Khan, Ericsson & Jan Melen, Ericsson Software Technology
Friday October 9, 2026 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Club H (Floor 1)
Working in telco infrastructure means regulatory compliance isn't optional. When a CVE drops, we can't wait a quarter. We can't backport locally. We have to fix it upstream, and we have to do it fast. This constraint forced us to ask harder questions about how we collaborate with open source projects. At Ericsson we maintain bare metal Kubernetes using Metal3, Cluster API, and Ironic. Over the...

Two Sides of the Same Coin: What Software and Data Research Repositories Can Learn From Each Other - Kairo De Araujo, TU Delft
Friday October 9, 2026 14:50 - 15:30 CEST
Club E (Floor 1)
Research data repositories and software package registries serve different audiences, but they answer the same four questions: - who published this and can we trust them - has it been tampered with - where did it come from - how long will it stay available and verifiable? Both communities have answered them in parallel, different vocabularies, different tooling, little exchange. This talk maps...

Failure Propagation in Linux: Challenges for Safety Qualification - Alessandro Carminati, NVIDIA
Friday October 9, 2026 14:50 - 15:30 CEST
Club A (Floor 1)
Linux was not developed around fault-containment properties expected of safety-certifiable software. The linear map lets kernel code access memory across userspace ownership boundaries, so corruption can affect another process or container. Shared slab/page allocators and per-CPU caches compound this risk: corrupted state may remain latent and later affect unrelated subsystems. MMIO can cause...

Friday October 9, 2026 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
South Hall 3 A (Floor 3)
Modern IOMMUs are deployed across wildly different environments. In enterprise servers, they require massive scalability, heavy virtualization support, and a zero-tolerance policy for lock contention. On the other hand, as these high-performance IOMMUs increasingly find their way into mobile, automotive, and edge SoCs, aggressive dynamic power management becomes mandatory. Using arm-smmu-v3 as a...

A Surprisingly Hard Question: How Much Memory Does My System Use? - Richard Weinberger, sigma star gmbh
Friday October 9, 2026 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
Panorama Hall (Floor 1)
When everything runs smoothly, memory usage is just another metric. But when out-of-memory situations strike, or you are tasked with cutting a workload's RAM in half, it suddenly becomes the most important metric in your system. While Linux exposes dozens of memory-related counters, answering basic questions is notoriously difficult. Developers and system administrators often struggle to pinpoint...
