The next t2k17 report comes from Martin Pieuchot (mpi@) who writes
I came to Toronto with two goals. The first one was to not do much
Network/MP hacking, the second one was to get the next milestone
towards DTrace in and the third one was to dance.
Apart from some "dance with your socket " lock diffs, I didn't move
forward with unlocking the socket layer. I wanted to see if something
happened. So I sat next to guenther@ hoping that I could help him to
unlock the top of the kernel. But I don't shout loud enough for a
hackathon, so Philip got preempted and I'm still waiting for a diff.On the CTF side I imported my ISC-licensed ctfdump [0] and ctfconv [1],
and implemented symbol pretty printing in ddb(4). With jasper@'s help
we then changed kernel build infrastructure to use ctfstrip(1) instead
of the traditional strip(1). Which means GENERIC kernel now always
contain CTF data.I also jumped into the Coverity train and fixed some issues. daniel@
found the right moment to start scanning our kernel!Since it's a hackathon I had to dive into some weird USB issues, this
time a multiple report HID device. Which I decided not to tackle and
went swing dancing.It was a great hackathon. I enjoyed meeting all the new and old
hackers again. I had plenty of interesting chats. I was really happy
to come back. Thanks to the University of Toronto and krw@ for the
organization![0] https://github.com/mpieuchot/ctfdump

Thank you, Martin for your exciting repot from t2k17!

I think the correct ctfconv link is:

It may only* be swing, but that's a little harsh! ;-)
