The arrival of high CPU core density, with commodity
quad-core notebooks and 32-core servers, combined
with 10gbps networking have transformed network
design principles for operating systems. This talk
will describe changes in the FreeBSD 6.x, 7.x, and
forthcoming 8.x network stacks required to exploit
multiple cores and serve 10gbps networks. The goal
of the session will be to introduce the audience
to general strategies used to improve performance,
their rationales, and their impact on applications
and users:
- Introduction to the SMPng Project and the follow-on Netperf Project
- Workloads and performance measurement
- Efficient primitives to support modern network stacks
- Multi-core and cache-aware network memory allocator
- Fine-grained network stack locking
- Load-balancing and contention-avoidance across multiple CPUs
- CPU affinity for network stack data structures
- TCP performance enhancements including TSO, LRO, and TOE
- Zero-copy Berkely Packet Filter (BPF) buffers
- Direct network stack dispatch from interrupt handlers
- Multiple input and output queues
Robert Watson is a researcher at the University of
Cambridge Computer Laboratory investinging operating
system and network security. Prior to joining the
Computer Laboratory to work on a PhD, he was Senior
Principal Scientist at McAfee Research, now SPARTA
ISSO, a leading security research and development

the US Navy, and Apple Computer. His research
interests include operating system security, network

TrustedBSD MAC Framework on FreeBSD and Darwin (270 Kb)
Robert Watson will describe the design and application
of the TrustedBSD MAC Framework, a flexible kernel
security framework developed on FreeBSD, and recently
experimentally ported to Apple's Darwin operating
system. The MAC Framework permits loadable access
control kernel modules to be loaded, modifying the
security behavior of the operating system, including
SEBSD, a port of the SELinux FLASK/TE security model
to FreeBSD.

CAPP-Compliant Security Event Audit System for Mac OS X and FreeBSD (UKUUG LISA 2006). (199 Kb)
UKUUG LISA 2006 took place in Durham, UK in March,
2006. On this page, you can find my slides from
this conference.
OpenBSM is a BSD-licensed implementation of Sun's
Basic Security Module (BSM) API and file format,
and is the foundation of the TrustedBSD audit
implementation for FreeBSD. This talk will cover
the requirements, design, and implementation of
audit support for FreeBSD. Security audit support
provides detailed logging of security-relevant
events, and meets the requirements of the CAPP
Common Criteria protection profile.

How the FreeBSD Project Works (EuroBSDCon 2006 Full Conference) (4.4 Mb), TrustedBSD presentation on Audit and priv(9) (Developer Summit) (166 Kb)
EuroBSDCon 2006 took place in Milan, Italy, and not
only offered excellent food on a flexible schedule,
but also an interesting array of talks on work
spanning the BSD's. On this page, you can find my
slides from the FreeBSD developer summit and full
conference.
Status report on the TrustedBSD Project: introduction
and status regarding Audit, plus a TODO list;
introduction to the priv(9) work recently merged
to 7.x.
The FreeBSD Project is one of the oldest and most
successful open source operating system projects,
seeing wide deployment across the IT industry. From
the root name servers, to top tier ISPs, to core
router operating systems, to firewalls, to embedded
appliances, you can't use a networked computer for
ten minutes without using FreeBSD dozens of times.
Part of FreeBSD's reputation for quality and
reliability comes from the nature of its development
organization--driven by a hundreds of highly skilled
volunteers, from high school students to university
professors. And unlike most open source projects,
the FreeBSD Project has developers who have been
working on the same source base for over twenty
years. But how does this organization work? Who
pays the bandwidth bills, runs the web servers,
writes the documentation, writes the code, and calls
the shots? And how can developers in a dozen time
zones reach agreement on the time of day, let alone
a kernel architecture? This presentation will attempt
to provide, in 45 minutes, a brief if entertaining
snapshot into what makes FreeBSD run.

Introduction to Multithreading and Multiprocessing in the FreeBSD SMPng Network Stack (370 Kb)
EuroBSDCon 2005 took place in Basel, Switzerland
in November, 2005. Due to an injury, I was unable
to attend the conference itself, and my talks were
presented in absentia by Poul-Henning Kamp and Ed
Maste, who have my greatest appreciation!
The FreeBSD SMPng Project has spent the past five
years redesigning and reimplementing SMP support
for the FreeBSD operating system, moving from a
Giant-locked kernel to a fine-grained locking
implementation with greater kernel threading and
parallelism. This paper introduces the FreeBSD SMPng
Project, its architectural goals and implementation
approach. It then explores the impact of SMPng on
the FreeBSD network stack, including strategies for
integrating SMP support into the network stack,
locking approaches, optimizations, and challenges.

BSDCan 2004 took place at the University of Ottawa
in Ottawa, Canada. On this page, you can find my
slides from the conference.
Robert Watson will describe a variety of pieces of
work done as part of the TrustedBSD Project, including
the TrustedBSD MAC Framework, Audit facilities for
FreeBSD, as well as supporting infrastructure work
such as GEOM/GBDE, UFS2, OpenPAM. He will also
discuss how certification and evaluation play into
feature selection, design, and documentation.
