A big raise for MPPs and American tariffs are reinstated. These stories and more are in your morning news on the go.

MPPs are back at Queen's Park today as the legislature resumes, world markets bounced back a bit this morning, and federal party leaders continue to hit the campaign trail with only two weeks left until election day.

The Agenda welcomes four of the five new Liberal MPPs to discuss returning to Queen's Park with official party status for this first time in seven years: Rob Cerjanec, the MPP for Ajax; Lee Fairclough, the MPP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore; Jonathan Tsao, the MPP for Don Valley North; And Tyler Watt, the MPP for Nepean.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doug Ford imposed an electricity surcharge on Monday, Donald Trump responded with doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminum, and then they called the whole thing off. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine a chaotic week in Canada and United States trade relations. Doug Ford's team at Queen's Park is going to look a lot like the old team with few MPPs losing their seats during the last election. The government will also deliver a full budget, and Steve and John Michael speculate what might be in that. The Supreme Court of Canada struck down Doug Ford's third party election spending law, which is a win for unions and civil society groups. Will the government use the notwithstanding clause to get it passed? Or will they drop this altogether?

We have reaction from MPPs across the political spectrum on a pending early election call, a traffic stop in Leamington has led to drugs being seized, and a local author unveils a collection of Texas Road haunting stories. All the evening headlines, and the weekend forecast, on the go.

Premier Doug Ford says he needs a fresh mandate to combat Donald Trump's tariffs, but opposition MPPs believe he has all the tools he needs already. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why the premier may be pushing for an early election. The province moved some ServiceOntario locations to Staples Canada, which they said would save taxpayers money. The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario says otherwise.

Queen's Park is back and still talking about bike lanes. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the government's first big piece legislation and why it's so laser focused on bikes. Dr. Jane Philpott is taking charge of a provincial team that's looking to connect all Ontarians with a primary healthcare provider. It's an odd job for the former Liberal health minister although well within her wheelhouse, but will Doug Ford listen to her recommendations? Marit Stiles joins the podcast to talk about the NDP's plans for upcoming session at QP, the fact that 3 of her MPPs have left for Federal politics, and why she's the alternative Ontarians need right now.  Steve's column: https://www.tvo.org/article/celebrating-a-man-who-knows-all-there-is-to-know-about-ontario-political-history JMM's column: https://www.tvo.org/article/opinion-ontario-could-have-a-new-option-for-turning-offices-into-homes-if-the-government-takesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ontario legislature returns after a long summer break. MPPs head back to Queen's Park under interesting circumstances as parties are also getting ready for a potential snap election. Aidan Grove-White, Fraser Macdonald and Kelly Baker join the podcast to analyze what the priorities of each party will be this fall. They also highlight the key risks and opportunities the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, NDP and Liberals could face. With an election looming, our guests discuss how the parties are preparing to hit the campaign trail.

Send us a textOn this episode of Newsmakers, host Louie Butko was joined by CHCH Queen's Park Producer Randy Rath to discuss what to expect later this month when MPPs return from their extended summer break.Randy also described what he believes was a missed opportunity for Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie following a pair of by-election losses this summer to the Progressive Conservatives.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're beating the heat with hard hitting punditry. To that end, we're knocking off some of the circus politics to talk about serious issues like foreign interference in our politics and the seemingly increasing gulf between police and reporters while they're on the job. For the interview this week, we're talking to one of the newer members of the Ontario legislature about how she's spending these 120 some-odd days of summer. This Thursday, June 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Sum of All Interference. The word from Parliament Hill is interference, but nobody quite knows what to do about it. On the one hand Elizabeth May says no current MP is on the list of compromised Canadian politicians, but Jagmeet Singh says that's not true. Meanwhile, both Pierre Poilievre and Yves-François Blanchet are going the read-no-evil, see-no-evil route, which leaves Justin Trudeau who has to face down another crisis of confidence in his government's efficacy. So what does it all mean? We Have Cop-cerns. A piece by Savanna Craig for Aljazeera outlines her concerns about the way that police are treating journalists covering protests in Canada after she was detained covering a pro-Palestinian protest in Montreal a few months ago. We've seen some of that in our own backyard when a Guelph Today reporter had his camera seized by the coroner's office while covering a car accident, so we must now ask the following question: Are police respecting journalists doing their jobs? Clancy Feast. It was about seven months ago that Aislinn Clancy scored a big win for the Green Party of Ontario by securing a seat in Kitchener Centre, the second seat for the Greens. Since then, there's been a whirlwind of issues inside and outside the legislature, not the least of which is the possibility that all MPPs might have to run again in an early general election this fall or next spring. We're going to talk about all that with Clancy, as well as fighting for action on climate change in the middle of our first heatwave of the year. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Just hours after Queens Park rose for their summer break, Premier Doug Ford surprised the province with an unexpected cabinet shuffle. Is this a sign of an impending election in the fall when MPPs return? Our host Alex Pierson asks this very question to Adrienne Batra, the Editor-In-Chief of the Toronto Sun if she believes he's shoring up his ministers, or if this shakeup was for another reason.

A Wallaceburg resident is facing a handful of charges after a single-vehicle crash in Kingsville over the long weekend, the cost of living in Canada is inching close to where the Bank of Canada would like to see it sitting, and MPs are back in Ottawa today -- the same day that MPPs return to Queen's Park.

The Ontario legislature resumes on September 25th. MPPs return to Queen's Park after a uniquely eventful summer in Ontario politics, which sets the stage for a heated fall sitting. Alex Armanious, Fraser MacDonald and Aidan Grove-White join the podcast to analyze what happened during the summer and discuss what to expect this fall.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.31.551329v1?rss=1 Authors: Imaz-Iruretagoyena, J., Blanco-Urrejola, M., de la Cruz-Gambra, A., Marquez, M., Sierra, A., Baleriola, J. Abstract: Polarized cells in the brain, such as neurons and glia, rely on the asymmetric distribution of their proteins compartmentalizing the function of dendrites, axons, glial projections and endfeet. Subcellular proteomes can be assembled either by the transport of proteins synthesized in the cell soma or by the delivery of mRNAs to target compartments where they are locally translated into protein. This latter mechanism is known as local protein synthesis or local translation, and it has been best studied in neurons. Increasing evidence suggest it is also required to maintain local protein homeostasis in glial cells, however, in microglia, local translation remains largely unexplored. Given the scant evidence, we aimed at exploring the existence of local translation in microglial peripheral processes (MPPs) and unravel its functional significance. We report that local translation indeed happens in MPPs and it is enhanced by triggering a microglial inflammatory response with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) suggesting a functional relevance of this molecular mechanism in response to inflammation. We found that Actb and Par3 mRNAs polarize to MMPs and are locally translated upon LPS exposure. Interestingly, downregulation of the Actb binding protein IMP1/ZBP1 impaired Actb mRNA polarization and its localized translation, leading to defects in filopodia distribution, lamellar directed migration and phagocytosis in microglia. Thus, our work contributes to recent findings that localized translation occurs in microglia and gives a mechanistic insight into the relevance of this molecular mechanism in fundamental microglial functions in response to LPS-induced inflammation.

Día Mundial de la Hemofilia: ¿Situación del paciente hemofílico en Venezuela?Para hablar de este tema nos acompañaron Dra. Apsara Boadas, Hematólogo del Centro Nacional de Hemofilia; y Luis Rojas, presidente la Asociación Venezolana de Hemofilia.Cada 17 de abril se celebra el DIA MUNDIAL DE LA HEMOFILIA con el objeto de visibilizar a las personas que viven con trastornos de la coagulación. Este año la Federación Mundial de Hemofilia “FMH” ha escogido como tema central “Acceso para todos: la prevención de hemorragias como norma de atención a nivel mundial”. El llamado es a unirse para abogar ante legisladores locales y gobierno por mejorar el acceso tratamiento y la atención, con énfasis en un mejor control y prevención de las hemorragias para todas las personas con trastorno de la coagulación (PCTC). Esto significa la implementación de tratamiento en el hogar, así como del tratamiento profiláctico, con el propósito de ayudar a estas personas a lograr una mejor calidad de vida.Por lo tanto, la Asociación Venezolana para la Hemofilia “AVH” este año celebra nuevamente este día, luego de 8 años, ya que finalmente se logró el objetivo “la compra de los medicamentos: los factores de coagulación en cantidades adecuadas, de calidad y, sobre todo, la reactivación de la entrega de factores de manera profiláctico. Esto se debe a las estrategias realizadas por la AVH, para que el IVSS y el MPPS realizaran las compras de estos medicamentos para nuestras 5223 personas con Trastornos De Coagulación a nivel nacional. Desde la AVH hacemos llegar al IVSS y al MPPS nuestro agradecimiento.Sin embargo, la AVH exhorta a las autoridades competentes, a que cumplan con las compras de los reactivos necesarios para el diagnóstico y seguimientos de estas patologías, ya que desde el 2015 no se cuenta con ellos en el Banco Municipal de Sangre en Caracas.

After 16-year-old Gabrial Mageles was killed in yet another act of random violence on the TTC, people are demanding something be done to increase safety. And mayoral candidates, MPPs and even the Premier have come forward with ideas, but do they actually address the root issue? And now that we are out of the pandemic, the province is planning to eliminate a much-needed program as well as heavily reduce incentives for seniors. Follow along with host Dani Stover as she dives into what happened at Keele Station, why bail reform is part of the conversation, and why the province may need to start investing more in its most vulnerable citizens with healthcare and housing.

After a consecutive 15 years of running the province, the Ontario Liberal Party now finds itself in third place in the last two elections, with only eight MPPs. Historically, this is the weakest the party has been in nearly 80 years. Deep in the political wilderness, the Liberal party must now decide where it went wrong, what it stands for, and what its goals are. In the lead up to the annual meeting, we invite party insiders to discuss the future of the Liberal brand in Ontario.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.17.516971v1?rss=1 Authors: Thambyrajah, R., Fadlullah, Z., Proffitt, M., Neo, W. H., Guillen, Y., Casado-Pelaez, M., Herrero-Molinero, P., Brujas, C., Castelluccio, N., Gonzalez, J., Iglesias, A., Marruecos, L., Ruiz-Herguido, C., Esteller, M., Mereu, E., Lacaud, G., Espinosa, L., Bigas, A. Abstract: Recent findings are challenging the classical hematopoietic model in which long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) are the base of the hematopoietic system. Clonal dynamics analysis of the hematopoietic system indicate that LT-HSC are not the main contributors of normal hemapoiesis in physiological conditions and the hematopoietic system is mainly maintained by multipotent progenitors (MPPs, hereafter HPC) and LT-HSCs are mostly in a non-active state. The first HSCs emerge from the aorta-gonad and mesonephros (AGM) region along with hematopoietic progenitors (HPC) within hematopoietic clusters. Molecular pathways that determine the HSC fate instead of HPC are still unknown, although inflammatory signaling, including NF-KB has been implicated in the development of HSCs. Here, we identify a chromatin binding function for IKB (also known as the inhibitor of NF-KB) that is Polycomb repression complex 2 (PRC2)- dependent and specifically determines dormant vs proliferating HSCs from the onset of their emergence in the AGM. We find a specific reduction of LT-HSCs in the IKB knockout new-born pups. This defect is manifested at the FL stage already, and traceable to the first emerging HSCs in the E11.5 AGM, without affecting the general HPC population. IKB-deficient LT-HSCs express dormancy signature genes, are less proliferative and can robustly respond to activation stimuli such as in vitro culture and serial transplantation. At the molecular level, we find decreased PRC2-dependent H3K27me3 at the promoters of several retinoic acid signaling elements in the IKB- deficient aortic endothelium and E14.5 FL LT-HSCs. Additionally, IKB binding itself is found in the promoters of retinoic acid receptors rar in the AGM, and rar{gamma} in the LT-HSC of FL. Overall, we demonstrate that the retinoic acid pathway is over-activated in the hematopoietic clusters of IKB-deficient AGMs leading to premature dormancy of LT- HSCs that persists in the FL LT-HSCs.

The Ford government vows to roll back their back-to-work legislation as the education workers union agrees to stop striking. Co-hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath break down how Ontario's opposition MPPs challenged this attempt at using the notwithstanding clause, and how its deployment was not like any other this province has seen so far.Then, a look at how Premier Doug Ford and Deputy Premier Sylvia Jones won't need to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry. And finally, a quick reprieve from the two biggest stories of the province through a climate-adjacent private member's bill from an Ontario Liberal leader hopeful.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Striking education support workers take it to the MPPs' offices, the provincial Labour Relations Board was due to hear an illegal strike petition, and the OPP search for a missing Kingsville man. All the evening headlines, and the windy weekend forecast, on the go.

CUPE's on strike and thousands of people are picketing MPPs' offices. Some schools are closed and it looks like that'll be the case next week.

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest reigning monarch, is dead at 96; MPPs at Queen's Park agrees to pause work until next week in light of the Queen's passing; and, here's how Toronto is marking the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Today the Bank of Canada announced they were increasing interest rates by another 75 basis points, bringing us to a total increase of 3.25%. When we see interest rates go up, we see cost of living go up, but those who are on ODSP, often get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting an affordable income to support themselves. To send a message to Doug Ford that this isn't an acceptable way to live, MPPs across Ontario are confining themselves to only spending $92.51 for two weeks worth of groceries to really understand what it's like to squeeze those dollars. Joining Alex to discuss this is David Lepofsky, a Lawyer and Chair with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance.

In this episode I am interviewing a fellow supporter of nuclear energy who, although not a Canadian, she posted an article on Canada Day singing the praises of the CANDU reactor.  I think CANDU is an underappreciated technological wonder, similar to the Avro Arrow.  It is also at risk of going down that same path unless Canadians rise up and tell their MPs and MPPs that we need more of them.

In 2018, the Trump administration announced the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPPs), under which policy certain noncitizens arriving at the southwest border of the United States were returned to Mexico during their immigration proceedings. Known as the “remain in Mexico” policy, the MPPs faced legal challenges shortly after their enactment, but the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to enforce it. In June 2021, the Biden administration sought to end the policy, but Texas and Missouri challenged that effort, arguing that rescinding the policy violated federal immigration law and that the policy change violated the Administrative Procedure Act. A federal district court agreed with the challengers and ordered the Biden administration to implement the MPPs in good faith or initiate new agency action in compliance with the APA. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit declined to block the lower court's ruling, as did the Supreme Court. In October 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new decision ending the policy supported by a memorandum explaining the decision. A district court again ordered DHS to continue the CPPs, and the Fifth Circuit upheld the order. The Biden administration sought expedited review as to whether federal immigration law requires it to maintain the policy and whether the October decision to end the policy has any legal effect. The case was decided on June 30, 2022. The Court held that the Government's rescission of MPP did not violate section 1225 of the INA, and the October 29 Memoranda constituted final agency action. Chief Justice ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Justices BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, and KAVANAUGH joined. Justice KAVANAUGH filed a concurring opinion. Justice ALITO, filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices THOMAS and GORSUCH joined. Justice BARRETT filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice THOMAS, ALITO, and GORSUCH joined as to all but the first sentence.

On this week's episode, it was a pleasure to welcome the Ontario NDP's Dr Jill Andrew and Faisal Hassan to The Drip to discuss the NDP's platform ahead of the June 2nd election. As you can imagine, it was a thoughtful and fun discussion on Ontario's political landscape.In part 1, we compared the size of Doug Ford's budget against the fact that there was barely a morsel for Black and racialized Ontarians; the NDP's plan to make life more affordable and their approach to enhancing mental health; their proposal to accelerate pharmacare for Ontario; and how they'll differentiate themselves from the Ontario Liberals, with whom they have plenty policy in common.In part 2, we discuss the possibility of an NDP-Liberal coalition after the June 2nd election; the possibility of voters being ready to give the NDP another shot like they gave Doug Ford; and Jill and Faisal make an appeal to the voters of Toronto-St. Paul's and York South-Weston. -- Special thanks to Fido Mobile for their financial contribution, which enables us to reach more people than ever before.

The list of MPPs who have decided not to run again now includes Christine Elliott. With her departure, the list of people who have declined to stand for re-election now stretches to nineteen, something fairly unheard of for a one-term government. Is Doug Ford's leadership in trouble? Also, should there by greater consequences for MPPs who behave badly? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath dig into the response from Queen's Park over the trucker convoy. Also, opposition MPPs are asking for stronger measures against MPP Randy Hillier over racist comments he made on Twitter. And, why public health and Premier Doug Ford are changing their messaging around Covid-19. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We explore whether a BSD can replicate Cisco router performance; RETGUARD, OpenBSDs new exploit mitigation technology, Dragonfly's HAMMER2 filesystem implementation & more! This episode was brought to you by Headlines Can a BSD system replicate the performance of a Cisco router? (https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/6upchy/can_a_bsd_system_replicate_the_performance_of/) Short Answer: No, but it might be good enough for what you need Traditionally routers were built with a tightly coupled data plane and control plane. Back in the 80s and 90s the data plane was running in software on commodity CPUs with proprietary software. As the needs and desires for more speeds and feeds grew, the data plane had to be implemented in ASICs and FPGAs with custom memories and TCAMs. While these were still programmable in a sense, they certainly weren't programmable by anyone but a small handful of people who developed the hardware platform. The data plane was often layered, where features not handled by the hardware data plane were punted to a software only data path running on a more general CPU. The performance difference between the two were typically an order or two of magnitude. source (https://fd.io/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2017/07/FDioVPPwhitepaperJuly2017.pdf) Except for encryption (e.g. IPsec) or IDS/IPS, the true measure of router performance is packets forwarded per unit time. This is normally expressed as Packets-per-second, or PPS. To 'line-rate' forward on a 1gbps interface, you must be able to forward packets at 1.488 million pps (Mpps). To forward at "line-rate" between 10Gbps interfaces, you must be able to forward at 14.88Mpps. Even on large hardware, kernel-forwarding is limited to speeds that top out below 2Mpps. George Neville-Neil and I did a couple papers on this back in 2014/2015. You can read the papers (https://github.com/freebsd-net/netperf/blob/master/Documentation/Papers/ABSDCon2015Paper.pdf) for the results. However, once you export the code from the kernel, things start to improve. There are a few open source code bases that show the potential of kernel-bypass networking for building a software-based router. The first of these is netmap-fwd which is the FreeBSD ip_forward() code hosted on top of netmap, a kernel-bypass technology present in FreeBSD (and available for linux). Full-disclosure, netmap-fwd was done at my company, Netgate. netmap-fwd will l3 forward around 5 Mpps per core. slides (https://github.com/Netgate/netmap-fwd/blob/master/netmap-fwd.pdf) The first of these is netmap-fwd (https://github.com/Netgate/netmap-fwd) which is the FreeBSD ip_forward() code hosted on top of netmap (https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap), a kernel-bypass technology present in FreeBSD (and available for linux). Full-disclosure, netmap-fwd was done at my company, Netgate. (And by "my company" I mean that I co-own it with my spouse.). netmap-fwd will l3 forward around 5 Mpps per core. slides (https://github.com/Netgate/netmap-fwd/blob/master/netmap-fwd.pdf) Nanako Momiyama of the Keio Univ Tokuda Lab presented on IP Forwarding Fastpath (https://www.bsdcan.org/2017/schedule/events/823.en.html) at BSDCan this past May. She got about 5.6Mpps (roughly 10% faster than netmap-fwd) using a similar approach where the ip_foward() function was rewritten as a module for VALE (the netmap-based in-kernel switch). Slides (https://2016.eurobsdcon.org/PresentationSlides/NanakoMomiyama_TowardsFastIPForwarding.pdf) from her previous talk at EuroBSDCon 2016 are available. (Speed at the time was 2.8Mpps.). Also a paper (https://www.ht.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~nanako/conext17-sw.pdf) from that effort, if you want to read it. Of note: They were showing around 1.6Mpps even after replacing the in-kernel routing lookup algorithm with DXR. (DXR was written by Luigi Rizzo, who is also the primary author of netmap.) Not too long after netmap-fwd was open sourced, Ghandi announced packet-journey, an application based on drivers and libraries and from DPDK. Packet-journey is also an L3 router. The GitHub page for packet-journey lists performance as 21,773.47 mbps (so 21.77Gbps) for 64-byte UDP frames with 50 ACLs and 500,000 routes. Since they're using 64-byte frames, this translates to roughly 32.4Mpps. Finally, there is recent work in FreeBSD (which is part of 11.1-RELEASE) that gets performance up to 2x the level of netmap-fwd or the work by Nanako Momiyama. 10 million PPS: Here (http://blog.cochard.me/2015/09/receipt-for-building-10mpps-freebsd.html) is a decent introduction. But of course, even as FreeBSD gets up to being able to do 10gbps at line-rate, 40 and 100 gigabits are not uncommon now Even with the fastest modern CPUs, this is very little time to do any kind of meaningful packet processing. At 10Gbps, your total budget per packet, to receive (Rx) the packet, process the packet, and transmit (Tx) the packet is 67.2 ns. Complicating the task is the simple fact that main memory (RAM) is 70 ns away. The simple conclusion here is that, even at 10Gbps, if you have to hit RAM, you can't generate the PPS required for line-rate forwarding. There is some detail about design tradeoffs in the Ryzen architecture and how that might impact using those machines as routers Anyway... those are all interesting, but the natural winner here is FD.io's Vector Packet Processing (VPP). Read this (http://blogs.cisco.com/sp/a-bigger-helping-of-internet-please) VPP is an efficient, flexible open source data plane. It consists of a set of forwarding nodes arranged in a directed graph and a supporting framework. The framework has all the basic data structures, timers, drivers (and interfaces to both DPDK and netmap), a scheduler which allocates the CPU time between the graph nodes, performance and debugging tools, like counters and built-in packet trace. The latter allows you to capture the paths taken by the packets within the graph with high timestamp granularity, giving full insight into the processing on a per-packet level. The net result here is that Cisco (again, Cisco) has shown the ability to route packets at 1 Tb/s using VPP on a four socket Purley system There is also much discussion of the future of pfSense, as they transition to using VPP This is a very lengthy write up which deserves a full read, plus there are some comments from other people *** RETGUARD, the OpenBSD next level in exploit mitigation, is about to debut (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=150317547021396&w=2) This year I went to BSDCAN in Ottawa. I spent much of it in the 'hallway track', and had an extended conversation with various people regarding our existing security mitigations and hopes for new ones in the future. I spoke a lot with Todd Mortimer. Apparently I told him that I felt return-address protection was impossible, so a few weeks later he sent a clang diff to address that issue... The first diff is for amd64 and i386 only -- in theory RISC architectures can follow this approach soon. The mechanism is like a userland 'stackghost' in the function prologue and epilogue. The preamble XOR's the return address at top of stack with the stack pointer value itself. This perturbs by introducing bits from ASLR. The function epilogue undoes the transform immediately before the RET instruction. ROP attack methods are impacted because existing gadgets are transformed to consist of " RET". That pivots the return sequence off the ROP chain in a highly unpredictable and inconvenient fashion. The compiler diff handles this for all the C code, but the assembly functions have to be done by hand. I did this work first for amd64, and more recently for i386. I've fixed most of the functions and only a handful of complex ones remain. For those who know about polymorphism and pop/jmp or JOP, we believe once standard-RET is solved those concerns become easier to address seperately in the future. In any case a substantial reduction of gadgets is powerful. For those worried about introducing worse polymorphism with these "xor; ret" epilogues themselves, the nested gadgets for 64bit and 32bit variations are +1 "xor %esp,(%rsp); ret", +2 "and $0x24,%al; ret" and +3 "and $0xc3,%al; int3". Not bad. Over the last two weeks, we have received help and advice to ensure debuggers (gdb, egdb, ddb, lldb) can still handle these transformed callframes. Also in the kernel, we discovered we must use a smaller XOR, because otherwise userland addresses are generated, and cannot rely on SMEP as it is really new feature of the architecture. There were also issues with pthreads and dlsym, which leads to a series of uplifts around _builtinreturn_address and DWARF CFI. Application of this diff doesn't require anything special, a system can simply be built twice. Or shortcut by building & installing gnu/usr.bin/clang first, then a full build. We are at the point where userland and base are fully working without regressions, and the remaining impacts are in a few larger ports which directly access the return address (for a variety of reasons). So work needs to continue with handling the RET-addr swizzle in those ports, and then we can move forward. You can find the full message with the diff here (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=150317547021396&w=2) *** Interview - Ed Maste, Charlie & Siva - @ed_maste (https://twitter.com/ed_maste), @yzgyyang (https://twitter.com/yzgyyang) & @svmhdvn (https://twitter.com/svmhdvn) Co-op Students for the FreeBSD Foundation *** News Roundup Next DFly release will have an initial HAMMER2 implementation (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2017-August/313558.html) The next DragonFly release (probably in September some time) will have an initial HAMMER2 implementation. It WILL be considered experimental and won't be an installer option yet. This initial release will only have single-image support operational plus basic features. It will have live dedup (for cp's), compression, fast recovery, snapshot, and boot support out of the gate. This first H2 release will not have clustering or multi-volume support, so don't expect those features to work. I may be able to get bulk dedup and basic mirroring operational by release time, but it won't be very efficient. Also, right now, sync operations are fairly expensive and will stall modifying operations to some degree during the flush, and there is no reblocking (yet). The allocator has a 16KB granularity (on HAMMER1 it was 2MB), so for testing purposes it will still work fairly well even without reblocking. The design is in a good place. I'm quite happy with how the physical layout turned out. Allocations down to 1KB are supported. The freemap has a 16KB granularity with a linear counter (one counter per 512KB) for packing smaller allocations. INodes are 1KB and can directly embed 512 bytes of file data for files 512 bytes. The freemap is also zoned by type for I/O locality. The blockrefs are 'fat' at 128 bytes but enormously powerful. That will allow us to ultimately support up to a 512-bit crypto hash and blind dedup using said hash. Not on release, but that's the plan. I came up with an excellent solution for directory entries. The 1KB allocation granularity was a bit high but I didn't want to reduce it. However, because blockrefs are now 128 byte entities, and directory entries are hashed just like in H1, I was able to code them such that a directory entry is embedded in the blockref itself and does not require a separate data reference or allocation beyond that. Filenames up to 64 bytes long can be accomodated in the blockref using the check-code area of the blockref. Longer filenames will use an additional data reference hanging off the blockref to accomodate up to 255 char filenames. Of course, a minimum of 1KB will have to be allocated in that case, but filenames are
