@zetamacs I'm curious whats going to get focus now syscall has been fully removed after 5 years work. could we see some VMD and filesystem work?. My understanding is that softdep was pulled as it was hampering various planned improvements.
oh, they removed a syscall? interesting.
🐐 drh3xx [OP/mod] · Apr 07 at 18:25:
@norayr it's actually the syscall (for making indirect syscalls) syscall that was removed.
indirect calls? interesting, xz backdoor was using glibc ifunc, again a function for indirect calls. no idea if it is completey ibplemented in glibc or glibc uses imilar kernel level system call.
sysupgraded all my boxes, all working fine.
