Writing Linux Kernel Modules in Safe Rust - Geoffrey Thomas, Two Sigma Investments & Alex Gaynor, Alloy

With 65% of recent Linux kernel vulnerabilities being the result of memory unsafety (buffer overflows, pointers used after being freed, etc.) and not logic errors, both kernel developers and downstream users have wondered whether it's possible to use a safer language than C for kernel development. This talk will explore the presenters' work building a framework for writing kernel modules in Rust and accessing kernel APIs in safe Rust. In particular, the talk will discuss some of the challenges of building binary-compatible kernel modules in Rust, techniques for working with existing C code, and how to design safe bindings over raw kernel APIs. It will also discuss advantages and difficulties for integrating Rust in upstream kernel development and possible directions the upstream kernel community could go.

A lot of things have been said about WebAssembly inside of the browser; after all, that's why it was originally created. But a new case is emerging as well, and that's WebAssembly on the server. More specifically, we're seeing a rise of support for WebAssembly in serverless application platforms, combining two brand-new technologies together. We're also seeing a lot of growth of the Rust programming language, and its close alignment with WebAssembly. In this talk, Steve will talk about Rust, WebAssembly, serverless technologies, and how it all fits together.

ABSTRACT
2018 has seen a massive push towards improving Rust's usability. This comes both with ergonomics improvements, but also with stabilisation of a lot of use-case specific features.
Rust is now usable and is used on everything from bare metal microcontrollers over small IoT gateway systems up to server programming. It can be deployed on phones just as it can be deployed in your web browser through Webassembly (WASM). That makes the newest edition of Rust the only currently available memory-safe language that can be used in almost any contexts without the need of a runtime.
This talk gives you a tour of what is possible with just one language and just one compiler right now.
Finally, Rust 2018 includes a lot of ergonomics improvements like a better async/await-story and cleverer safety [...]

In some ways, a browser engine seems to have little in common with a web
framework. But both are ambitious software projects, approached by large
groups of diverse people trying and sometimes failing to cooperate,
collaborate, and code together. This talk shares firsthand observations,
collected over 3 years of working within the Rust and Servo teams at Mozilla
as well as volunteering on the Rust Community Team, about what all developers
can learn from Rust's approaches to the universal challenges of code and
community.

Is Rust ready for the embedded world yet? If your IOT project is on ARM or MSP430, it already has native support in the Rust compiler, and AVR and RISC-V have compiler forks available.

But architecture support is only the first challenge: If you're used to writing Rust for hosts that run an operating system, the paradigm shift of having to do everything yourself in the embedded world can be jarring.

This talk will introduce the basic techniques for writing Rust to run microcontrollers, and survey outstanding embedded rust projects already available in the ecosystem.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
