SpaceX à la rescousse ? pourquoi il est quasi impossible qu’Elon Musk vole au secours des 3 taïkonautes coincés

Alors que trois Chinois sont pour l'instant coincés dans l'espace, car leur capsule de retour pourrait présenter un risque de sécurité, des voix se sont élevées pour que SpaceX intervienne. Mais l'idée d'une mission de secours avec une Falcon 9 et un vaisseau Crew Dragon est vraiment très incertaine.

[$] Magic kernel functions for BPF

✇LWN
Par :daroc

When programs written in BPF (the kernel's hot-loadable virtual-machine bytecode) call kernel functions (kfuncs), it may be useful for those functions to have additional information about the context in which those BPF programs are executing. Rather than requiring it to supply that information, it would be convenient to let the BPF verifier pass that information to the called function automatically. That is already possible, but a recent patch set from Ihor Solodrai would make it more ergonomic. It allows kernel developers to specify that a kfunc should be passed additional parameters inferred by the verifier, invisibly to the BPF program. The discussion included concerns that Solodrai's implementation was unnecessarily complex, however.
