+ <strong>Project:</strong> Implementation of MPLS in FreeBSD<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Ryan French<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.andre;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>MPLS is a networking protocol used for routing information
+ quickly and efficiently. It is used extensively in the
+ internet's backbone networks. Over the course of the program,
+ code has been ported to FreeBSD from the OpendBSD/NetBSD
+ operating systems. Basic functionality of sending and receiving
+ packets was the main goal of the project, but unfortunately this
+ was not acheived. It is very close to having this functionality,
+ but there are a few minor bugs preventing the code from
+ integrating fully with the FreeBSD networking stack.</p>
+
+ <p>This project will continue to be worked on until sending,
+ receiving, label swapping, tunnels, and the LDP daemon has been
+ successfully implemented.</p>
+
+ <strong>Ready to enter CVS/SVN:</strong> No.</li>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> TCP/IP regression test suite (tcptest)<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Victor Hugo Bilouro<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.gnn;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>As a testing tool, it can perform regression, protocol
+ conformance, and fuzz tests. The tool may also be employed as an
+ aid to protocol developers and both testing and debugging of
+ firewalls/routers.</p>
+
+ <p>It is built on top of PCS(Packet Construction Set) "PCS is a set
+ of Python modules and objects that make building network
+ protocol code easier for the protocol developer. PCS enables
+ testing at OSI layers 3, 4, and 5."</p>
+
+ <p>Tcptest mainly is a python module and one script for each test
+ covered (more then one per script often) The module count with
+ methods acting as fasteners, doing things like (a)three way
+ handshake, (b)active/passive close and (c)several createXX and
+ assertXX, where XX=(ip, tcp, rst, urg, fin, syn, psh, so on...)
+ As the tests are being created, the number of 'fasteners' are
+ growing, turning each moment easier to create new tests.</p>
+
+ <p>Use of small tests. So we can cover a wide range of traffics,
+ events and transitions predetermined separately. The development
+ would be like a protocol, but without covering all possible
+ events and transitions, only traffic previously
+ determined. Instead of targeting a TCP Finite State Machine
+ (FSM) like the implementation of TCP/IP protocols, the
+ development will be based towards flow of packets, where traffic
+ is composed of packets that are sent and received in a
+ previously registered way.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Porting Open Solaris Dtrace Toolkit to FreeBSD<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Liqun Li<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.jb;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>Sun Open Solaris Dtrace is pretty useful feature. Users can find
+ performance bottlenecks with Dtrace in real production
+ environment. Since many probes implemented in Open Solaris are
+ not supported in FreeBSD, the Open Solaris Dtrace Toolkit should be
+ ported to &os;. Its main job is to find whether a given probe is supported by
+ FreeBSD, if so, find it; if not, develop one to support this
+ function. This summer, at first, I went throught all DTK script
+ commands, found some of them work directly. But most do
+ not. Under my mentor John Birrell careful help, I retrieved the
+ respective FreeBSD kernel variables, and ended up making
+ system/uname.d work. In addition, I tried to make sar-c.d work
+ under FreeBSD. Since we need to investigate in Sun Open
+ Solaris Kernel how Open Solaris defines the probe and
+ what probes it needs, this work is realy time consuming, and not
+ done yet. From this project, I got to know much about FreeBSD
+ kernel and Dtrace probes. I found kernel hacking/coding pretty
+ interesting.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Adding .db support to pkg_tools --> pkg_improved<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Anders Nore<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.flz;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>This project is a replication of the pkg_install tools with
+ several new features and speed improvements due to the caching
+ of some package-information to a B-Tree Berkeley DB file. Some
+ of the new features is the adding of installtime to the
+ installed packages +CONTENTS file, human-readable size-output in
+ pkg_info(1), progress indication to pkg_add's remote
+ option. Installtime range searches with pkg_info(1) and
+ pkg_delete(1) similar to that of version search is now available
+ using the -M option.</p>
+
+ <p>A new tool pkg_convert(1), caches some parts of the existing
+ /var/db/pkg/ flat database into a Berkeley DB file, and the
+ tools check for this file and uses it for speed improvements if
+ it is available and updates it according to
+ pkg_{add|delete}'s. You can also use pkg_convert(1) to view the
+ entries in the cache. The tools will give you an indication if
+ the database is corrupt, and it is fully recoverable by using
+ pkg_convert(1).</p>
+
+ <p>Two bugs in the existing pkg_tools have also been discovered
+ and fixed, everything is ofcourse backwards-compatible with the
+ older/original pkg_install tools.</p></li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Project:</strong> Porting BSD-licensed text-processing tools from OpenBSD<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Gabor Kovesdan<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> Max Khon<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>At the moment, BSD grep seems to be ready and highly compatible
+ with the GNU version. However, there are differences in the
+ regex handling, which is a result of the different
+ interpretations, that the different regex libraries use and thus
+ it is not really possible to fix at the level of grep. As for
+ diff, some progress has been made, but some important features
+ are still missing. The sort utility seemed to be badly
+ constructed concerning the wide character support and the
+ overall implementation. Because of these difficulties, the
+ efforts were prioritized for grep and diff. Probably sort needs
+ a complete rewrite or at least an extreme amount of
+ modifications.</p>
+
+ <strong>Ready to enter CVS/SVN:</strong> If we can accept the
+ regex differencies in grep, it is ready to enter SVN after some
+ thorough testing. As for diff and sort, they can be installed
+ via the Ports Collection.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Project:</strong> Multibyte collation support<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Konrad Jankowski<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.dds;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>Collation is what allows for current language/encoding correct
+ sorting/ordering of strings. This project aimed to add proper
+ collation in UTF-8 encodings for all languages for FreeBSD. This
+ summer I have accomplished:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>imported data from the Unicode Consortium: POSIX locale files
+ and regression test data</li>
+ <li>written converter scripts to extract collation data from this
+ files</li>
+ <li>ported Apple's version of colldef (which is our version, but
+ much extended by them)</li>
+ <li>extended the colldef even more, to work on collation data from
+ the Unicode Consortium</li>
+ <li>added some performance improvements, the biggest one not used
+ by default now (no time to test yet) - reading the charmap only
+ once for all languages</li>
+ <li>ported Apple version of strcoll, wcscoll, strxfrm, wcsxfrm and
+ locale/collate.c, taking out xlocale (rationale on wiki)</li>
+ <li>Written regression test scripts. It appeared that Apple's code
+ doesn't full Unicode Collation Algorithm - the part which deals
+ with expansions. It is needed for half of languages to pass the
+ more advanced regression tests.</li>
+ <li>for last few days I am working on implementing expansions, I will
+ not rest until they work</li>
+ <li>I was not able to start writing manpages and create a megapatch
+ agains HEAD, I'll do that when the algorithm is 100% correct
+ for all the languages.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Current informatin will be available on my wiki:
+ http://wiki.freebsd.org/KonradJankowski/Collation</p>
+
+ <strong>Ready to enter CVS/SVN:</strong> After finishing expansion support and
+ cleanup.

+ <strong>Project:</strong> VM Algorithm Improvement<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Mayur Shardul<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.jeff;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>A new data structure, viz. radix tree, was implemented and used
+ for management of the resident pages. The objective is efficient
+ use of memory and faster performance. The biggest challenge was
+ to service insert requests on the data structure without
+ blocking. Because of this constraint the memory allocation
+ failures were not acceptable, to solve the problem the required
+ memory was allocated at the boot time. Both the data structures
+ were used in parallel to check the correctness and we also
+ benchmarked the data structures and found that radix trees gave
+ much better performance over splay trees.</p>
+
+ <strong>Ready to enter CVS/SVN:</strong> We will investigate some more approaches
+ to handle allocation failures before the new data structure goes
+ in CVS.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Project:</strong> TCP anomaly detector<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Rui Paulo<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.andre;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>The TCP Anomaly Detector (tcpad, for short) project went
+ reasonably well. I am currently tracking some bugs and lowering
+ the number of false positives.</p>
+
+ <p>tcpad tries to monitor TCP connections and detect
+ non-conformant hosts. It does this by sniffing packets on the
+ wire and creating, what I would like to call, a virtual TCP
+ stack on each end. When an error is detected, tcpad creates a
+ pcap file with all the packets exchanged between the two hosts
+ and the state of each virtual TCP stack.</p>
+
+ <p>tcpad is still being developed, so expect it to "detect" dozens
+ of "problems" after running for some minutes.</p>
+
+ <p>I was a bit late developing results because the SoC began
+ before my exams did (I was still having classes), but now, that
+ "damage" is partly fixed. ;-) Overall, this SoC was a really
+ interesting learning experience. I must say that my TCP
+ knowledge has increased a few points. :-)</p>
+
+ <p>Andre Oppermann is my mentor. I blogged a bit about this
+ project at <a href="http://blogs.freebsdish.org/rpaulo/">my blog</a>.
+ The wiki page is located <a
+ href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/RuiPaulo/TCPAnomaly">here</a>.</p>

+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Project:</strong> FreeBSD auditing system testing<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Vincenzo Iozzo<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> Attilio Rao<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>The project was focused on testing the audit system. The first
+ part of the project consisted of writing a patch for
+ /dev/auditpipe in order to preselect events by process' pid. The
+ second half was focused on creating a testing framework for
+ audit. Some auxiliary functions and modules were written. What is
+ missing: - More abstraction in the framework - More tests for
+ events</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>Project:</strong> Dynamic memory allocation for dirhash in UFS2<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Nick Barkas<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.dwmalone;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>Modified dirhash code in perforce is now able to free up memory
+ used by older dirhashes when the VM system invokes vm_lowmem
+ events. This will allow the default dirhash_maxmem value to be
+ increased, improving performance on large directory lookups when
+ there is memory to spare on they system. There are versions of
+ the low memory event handling code for both -CURRENT and
+ 7-STABLE. A number of tests have been run showing the new event
+ handler seems to work properly.</p>
+
+ <p>I intend to do further testing and benchmarking to find the
+ best default values to use for vfs.ufs.dirhash_reclaimage (the
+ number of seconds a dirhash can sit unused before the dirhash
+ low memeory event handler will unconditionally delete it) and
+ the minimum percentage of memory that will be freed upon
+ vm_lowmem events even if there are not enough hashes older than
+ dirhash_reclaimage (currently this is hard coded to 10%). I
+ would also like to add some code to choose a reasonable new
+ default vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem value based upon the amount of
+ memory in the system, set automatically at boot time and tunable
+ via sysctl. Once these tweaks have been made I plan to ask for
+ testing from more users to shake out any bugs or potential
+ workloads where the new code may hurt overall performance.</p>
+
+ <p>Current details about status are on the <a
+ href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/DirhashDynamicMemory">wiki</a>.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Reference implementation of the SNTP client<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Johannes Maximilian Kohn<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> Harlan Stenn<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>A reference implementation of the SNTP client based on the
+ latest ntpv4 document. SNTP is a lightweight client that enables
+ admins to synchronize with NTP servers. SNTP's networking code
+ is written protocol independent and should work with almost any
+ protocol like IPv4 or IPv6. SNTP supports MD5 authentication to
+ verify the authencity of the queried server.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> NFSv4 ACLs<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Edward Tomasz Napierala<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.rwatson;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>The aim of my GSoC project was to implement NFSv4 ACLs in a
+ similar way POSIX.1e ACLs are supported. That was done by
+ extending user utilities (setfacl(1)/getfacl(1)), libc API and
+ adding neccessary kernel stuff, for ACL storage and enforcement
+ on both UFS and ZFS. Regression tests were implemented to ensure
+ correct operation. Semantics is supposed to be identical to the
+ one in SunOS. There is also a wrapper (distributed separately)
+ that implements SunOS-compatible acl(2)/facl(2) API, to make
+ porting applications like Samba easier.</p>

+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>The idea was to work on some missing parts of
+ Libarchive. Despite the many goals, only few of them could be
+ implemented. So far the project contributed a ZIP writer with
+ tests. It supports basic functionality, except compression,
+ ZIP64 and some fancy features of the ZIP specification. Work

+ running at the same time. First, fake-pkg was modified to obtain
+ a lock over PKG_DBDIR to prevent clobbering of the database in
+ case more than one port tries to register at a time. Next, a
+ lock called BASE_LOCK was added for every port to obtain at the
+ beginning of a build. This lock is located in a ports directory,
+ and prevents any port from being built by multiple make
+ processes. Locks were then added for other sensitive targets,
+ and the pkg_install tools were modified to honor locks on
+ PKG_DBDIR.</p>
+
+ <p>Once these locks were added, a new variable, FAKE_J, to take
+ advantage of makes -j flag. This allows make to fork multiple
+ processes to handle dependencies and fetching, without passing
+ the -j flag onto the actual build of a port.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Ports license auditing infrastructure<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Alejandro Pulver<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.brooks;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>This project is about adding license support to the Ports
+ Collection, so ports with certain licenses can be
+ identified. The ports makefile part is functional (may need some
+ adjustements though): definition of licenses by port, notions of
+ permissions (sell and redistribute, for distfiles and packages)
+ replacing NO_{PACKAGE,CDROM} and RESTRICTED, configuration
+ (one-time, and saved; with checksum in case the license
+ changes), verbose/diagnostic output of the internal processing
+ logic (how it is accepted or rejected, if by the user, by
+ default or by saved configuration), registration of license
+ information and license itself in the package (so that both
+ packages and ports can be searched for properties such as
+ license types or restrictions), and more can be easily added to
+ the current code.</p>
+
+ <p>The license database (a list of them and their properties) was
+ going to be mirrored from FOSSology: a tool to analyze software
+ licenses. We are working on getting FOSSology to automatically
+ classify ports (I've sent suggestions and patches to the
+ developers, who accepted them and provided very good
+ support). So for the moment it is not usable (at least
+ licenses/properties are defined manually, and each port is
+ marked manually to indicate its license).</p>
+
+ <p>I will continue working on the FOSSology's port, and on the
+ missing features such as multiple licenses support (AND, OR,
+ etc). For more information see the wiki page: Ports license
+ auditing infrastructure</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Improving layer2 filtering<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Gleb Kurtsou<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> Andrew Thompson<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>Project aimed to improve layer2 filtering in ipfw and pf. All
+ of the project goals are achieved: pfil framework is extended to
+ handle ethernet packets, ipfw layer2 filtering is greatly
+ simplified, added l2filter and l2tag per interface flags. Both
+ ipfw and pf firewalls support filtering by ethernet addresses,
+ support stateful filtering with ethernet addresses and
+ firewall's lookup tables are extended to contain ethernet
+ addresses.</p>
+
+ <p>ipfw was extended to perform arp packet filtering: arp-op,
+ src-arp and dst-arp options added.</p>
+
+ <p>Details and usage examples are on my
+ <a href="http://blogs.freebsdish.org/gleb/">blog</a>.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Porting FreeBSD to Efika (PPC bring up)<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Przemek Witaszczyk (vi0@)<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.raj;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>The main aim of the project is to port FreeBSD operating system
+ to MPC5200B evaluation board. Among subleading tasks, there were
+ objectives such as making kernel proceed to device drivers
+ initialization, modelling newbus hierarchy of devices, writing
+ the programmable interrupt controller driver, writing the PCI
+ driver. The ultimate goal is reaching multiuser mode.</p>
+
+ <p>As for now, half of the project is realized. After solving a
+ few difficult problems at the basic level (binary interface
+ issues with entry point to the SmartFirmware on the device), the
+ boot procedure reaches the device drivers initialization stage,
+ and hits the PIC driver init. At this point, the driver skeleton
+ is constructed and is called. The driver uses ofwbus bus driver
+ which intermediates between the openfirmware and the FreeBSD
+ newbus devices hierarchy. After completing the PIC driver, I'll
+ be in the position to write the remaining drivers for
+ peripherals integrated on the MPC5200B chip using the newbus
+ architecture.</p>
+
+ <p>I am determined to continue the work on the project after the
+ formal GSoC end date in order to bring at least the interrupt
+ controller driver to operation.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Audit Firewall Events from Kernel<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> Diego Giagio (diego@)<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.csjp;<bR>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>This project is part of TrustedBSD project and aims to provide
+ auditing support to security-related events generated by various
+ firewall implementations on FreeBSD such as IPFW, PF and
+ IPFILTER.</p>
+
+ <p>Currently both administrative events (such as add/remove rules)
+ and network events (such as network connection establishment)
+ are being audited on IPFW. This means that all IPFW
+ security-related events are already being audited the way we
+ planned it to. Although PF and IPFILTER auditing support aren't
+ yet finished, all the hard infrastructure work needed to
+ implement that is already committed.</p>
+
+ <p>The next step is basically finish implementing PF and
+ IPFILTER's auditing support. On the IPFW side, my research
+ showed that the way it handles statefull connections (even
+ before my work) needs improvement. I will also work on this. I
+ will keep working on this project in order to polish every rough
+ edge we might find. Once this is finished, I'll probably begin
+ working on other interesting TrustedBSD projects.</p>

+ <strong>Project:</strong> Create a tiny operating system from FreeBSD<br>
+ <strong>Student:</strong> James Harrison<br>
+ <strong>Mentor:</strong> &a.imp;<br>
+
+ <strong>Summary:</strong>
+
+ <p>This project was a success and a failure at the same time. I
+ started work imagining that I would be creating, genuinely
+ creating, a new tiny operating system from FreeBSD. This was to
+ be a worthy goal, a challenging goal, and overall a fun goal. I
+ imagined it would involve making a bunch of shell scripts for
+ stripping out various parts of the OS, integrate a custom
+ kernel, and bob's your mother's brother, everything's done. This
+ was even reflected in the name of the project; it's the same
+ approach as TinyBSD, so I called mine ShinyBSD as a kind of
+ homage.</p>
+
+ <p>Instead, I gained respect for TinyBSD, which is a fantastic
+ tool. A truly, truly, fantastic tool. Ultimately, with just a
+ few tweaks, it could do exactly what I needed it to do; building
+ a small OS has been completed for some time.</p>
+
+ <p>The second portion was to cross compile and boot an arm
+ device. I had more hardware issues than you can shake a large
+ stick at, so though I can verify that I was working hard on
+ cross compiling, I cannot verify that the cross compiled product
+ I had made sense as a bootable image. I've started configuring
+ qemu now to see if I can verify via that. In discussion with my
+ mentor, I believe a profitable method of applying my knowedge
+ post-GSOC is to get a Makefile prepared for TinyBSD that cross
+ compiles out of the box.</p>
+
+ <strong>Ready to enter CVS/SVN:</strong> Not yet, though when the Makefile is complete
+ it would be good to offer it up for inclusion in base.
