0x1A: Tutorial, Making Time Uncertainty a First-Class Concept in Linux Timing
by Jamal Hadi Salim 14 Jun '26

14 Jun '26

Maciek Machnikowski continues his tradition of teaching us about Time. In this session, Maciek reframes timestamps as intervals with quantified uncertainty rather than precise points, arguing that explicit uncertainty windows let applications reason about temporal correctness without hidden accuracy assumptions. He discusses sources of uncertainty such as clock sync offsets, network delay jitter, hardware timestamping limitations, and kernel-to-userspace transfer paths. Ignoring these, argues Maciek, causes errors in ordering, causality detection, and compliance checks. He will describe a time-uncertainty daemon sample and discuss Linux kernel API gaps. Come and grow your knowledge with a real human maestro! More details: https://netdevconf.info/0x1A/sessions/tutorial/making-time-uncertainty-a-fi… cheers, jamal

0x1A: Workshop, What's next for the PSP Security Protocol
by Jamal Hadi Salim 12 Jun '26

12 Jun '26

Willem de Bruijn will chair a workshop on PSP Security Protocol. PSP is an inline cryptography protocol optimized for large-scale datacenter deployments. It scales to high performance and high connection count. PSP is supported by network devices from Broadcom, Intel, Nvidia and others and by the Linux kernel as of v6.18. Current hardware implements the initial PSP Architecture Spec. In this workshop Willem will lead a discussion on candidate extensions for the next version of PSP, such as confidential compute and multi-host support. Future directions for the Linux kernel PSP stack and support infra such as packetdrill test coverage will be covered. cheers, jamal
