Oracle Linux Kernel engineer Alan Adamson provides an introduction to connecting NVMe flash storage using TCP. Oracle Linux UEK5 introduced NVMe over Fabrics which allows transferring NVMe storage commands over a Infiniband or Ethernet network using RDMA Technology. UEK5U1 extended NVMe over Fabrics to also include Fibre Channel storage networks. Now with UEK6, NVMe over TCP is introduced which again extends NVMe over Fabrics to use a standard Ethernet network without...

In this third and final in the series Oracle Linux kernel and ksplice engineer Vegard Nossum explores even further into kernel fuzzing. Note: Make sure to read part 1 and part 2 if you missed them. In the previous blog post we ended up with a basic working fuzzer, but there are still many things we can do to improve the usability and utility of the fuzzer. In this part we will explore some obvious and some non-obvious extensions. General-purpose registers + delta states One...

Oracle Linux kernel and ksplice engineer Vegard Nossum delves further into kernel fuzzing in this second of a three part series of blogs. In part 1 of this series we looked at what the Linux kernel entry code does and how to JIT-assemble and call a system call. In this part, we'll have a closer look at flag registers, the stack pointer, segment registers, debug registers, and different ways to enter the kernel. More flags (%rflags) The Direction flag is not the only flag...

Oracle Linux kernel and ksplice engineer Vegard Nossum provides some great insight into kernel fuzzing in this first of a three part series of blogs. Introduction If you've been following Linux kernel development or system call fuzzing at all, then you probably know about trinity and syzkaller. These programs have uncovered many kernel bugs over the years. The way they work is basically throwing random system calls at the kernel in the hope that some of them will crash the...

In a recent blog post I illustrated how to use the OCI Command Line Interface (CLI) in shell scripts. While the OCI CLI is comprehensive and powerful, it may not be the best solution when you need to handle a lot of data in shell scripts. In such cases using a programming language such as Python and the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Python SDK makes more sense. Data manipulation is much easier, and the API is —as expected— more complex. In an attempt to demystify the use of the...

Linux is a foundational operating system for enterprise IT organizations. In fact, according to the Linux Foundation, Linux is the primary platform for cloud and is experiencing continual growth. But are all Linux distributions the same? In this white paper, the analyst company, Evaluator Group reviews Oracle Linux, taking a close look at what differentiates it based on input from users that have moved their environments from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux. In-depth...
