Problem Solving With Systemtap

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=17 I thought that kprobes is quite cool and imagined that systemtap was just a interface on the top of that. But it isn't. It provide the environment, including it's own scri…

Dark Arts Revealed: How to read Kernel Oopses and More

Debugging Linux kernel using Kdump

"Kdump" is one of the most attractive keywords in OLS 2006 for me, the others are "Kprobe" and "SystemTap" at the practical point. http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=159 http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/ http:…

Reverse Engineering USB Drivers for Compatibility

http://www.linuxmontreal.com/projects/usb/reveng/ It's fun. Finally he made ethereal can capture usb packets and analyze them. It's a sort of hacker's work literaly.

Why Userspace Sucks - (Or, 101 Really Dumb Things Your App Shouldn't Do)

First off, the title is really provocative;) and it gathered lots of hackers. For my implression, this is the most entertained session. Dave Jones is a really funny guy, he made the audience laugh several times and communicated with them v…

A Step by Step Introduction to Writing (or Undestanding) a Linux Filesystem

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=252 I don't think that I will implement the real filesystem by myself, but as for virtual filesystem, this tuturial can be useful for the starting point. http://pserver.samba…

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=114 It is exactly a proof-of-concept as written in the abstruct and made me think about what the bootloader should be. http://kboot.sourceforge.net/

It's a small wonderful world!

Surprise!! Although I don't think I am anything special at all in this world, I've been spending most of my time here and I know some people who work like I do. So I met some old co-workers here!! One of them, whose nick name is..."minipan…

Cool guys!

Fortunately I had a dinner with some famous hackers here(thanks, Paul;), though my English was still bad. They seemed to really enjoy spending time here, at Ottawa. They talked and laughed much over various kind of kernel topics. They were…

In Ottawa!

Ottawa is a quite nice town, which has a little bit more degree of humidity. Comparing with Helsinki, though it is also nice, Helsinki is bit severer because of its climate. Anyway I will spend this week here under this good climate;)

Their design is quite incredible. I am so impressed. Probably I guess that they were somewhat inspired by UML. Also I have to mention the fact that they had established this implementation at 2002.The point is that a dsp process is taken a…

Dress code

Since these days it is relatively hot and it seems that there is no dress code here, I wear T-shirts, short pants and sandals without socks. It is quite comfortable whenever I do something. I cannot stop it;) Anyway, I will have three days…

Summer Of 69

He will have a concert at Hartwall Arena in September. Yes, he is Bryan Adams. It seems too hard to get sequential seats now. What should I do about that? The reason why I want to go there is that it happened that I watched one of the band…

It is more usuful than other similar tools. I can access it directly from my emacs at work;) and also read, write, update and delete the log. Although it seems to be enough for daily use, I am a little bit greedy. The new features that I w…

Yen town - Swallowtail Butterfly in 1996

Do you remember the movie "Swallowtail"? It is Shunji Iwai's movie from 1996. It was on TV here in Finland. It has the taste of the 1990's(good days, I almost hadn't yet come out to the real world!). He made up the world in it, which is as…

Naked King?

That just happened this morning! It ever happens almost once a year or so. It's that I find myself naked in bed when I wake up in the morning, literally naked. Even underpants, I strip unconsciously during sleep. Although I have no idea wh…

Nothing to say

I've kept this blog more than one week sequentially . Great! But Today I don't have anything special to write here;) Basically I've been writing the meaningless everyday. Anyway, as for today, of course, I haven't slept all day long, but I…

Video blog?

This doesn't seems to be appropriate for this summer season. There is a video that my son was skating on the ice nearby my house last winter. So it seems that the time is coming to post blogs with MOVIE. http://www.moviecaster.net/new_movi…
