    About works on concurrency and SMP being done in the OpenBSD kernel... did you see this old paper about exploiting system call on multi-core CPUs ?

        > Is pledge() safe from this attack ?

        Yes, because it doesn't try to do checks on data in userspace memory. Mostly it doesn't do those types of checks at all, but for path checking the logic is integrated into the actual namei() processing instead of being done separately.

    Unclear to me what should be submitted.. "only" a 100 words abstract and a CV, or the full paper already?

    May, 8th coming in at light speed :(

      We don't require a paper at all. An abstract is enough.
