  • Morpho-Syntactic Interactions Between V and C in Romance1
    Dialectologia. Special issue, V (2015), 293-319. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 7 August 2015. Accepted 26 September 2015. MORPHO-SYNTACTIC INTERACTIONS BETWEEN V AND C IN ROMANCE1 Ángel J. GALLEGO Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Abstract This paper discusses a series of morpho-syntactic (a)symmetries that emerge in the vP and CP levels of different Romance languages. The (a)symmetries considered indicate a P or D oriented nature for specific functional heads placed in the vP and CP domains, an idea that has been at the forefront of micro-parametric studies ever since the 80s (cf. Kayne 1984, 2000; Uriagereka 1995). The consequences of this investigation for the status of parameter theory are further considered (cf. Chomsky 1981; Baker 2001; Biberauer 2008; Kayne 2000; Picallo 2014) and the study of the lexicon, arguably the main locus of linguistic variation (cf. Halle & Marantz 1993; Hale & Keyser 1993; Starke 2014; Uriagereka 2008).

  • Porting the QEMU Virtualization Software to MINIX 3
    Porting the QEMU virtualization software to MINIX 3 Master's thesis in Computer Science Erik van der Kouwe Student number 1397273 [email protected] Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Faculty of Sciences Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Supervised by dr. Andrew S. Tanenbaum Second reader: dr. Herbert Bos 12 August 2009 Abstract The MINIX 3 operating system aims to make computers more reliable and more secure by keeping privileged code small and simple. Unfortunately, at the moment only few major programs have been ported to MINIX. In particular, no virtualization software is available. By isolating software environments from each other, virtualization aids in software development and provides an additional way to achieve reliability and security. It is unclear whether virtualization software can run efficiently within the constraints of MINIX' microkernel design. To determine whether MINIX is capable of running virtualization software, I have ported QEMU to it. QEMU provides full system virtualization, aiming in particular at portability and speed. I find that QEMU can be ported to MINIX, but that this requires a number of changes to be made to both programs. Allowing QEMU to run mainly involves adding standardized POSIX functions that were previously missing in MINIX. These additions do not conflict with MINIX' design principles and their availability makes porting other software easier. A list of recommendations is provided that could further simplify porting software to MINIX. Besides just porting QEMU, I also investigate what performance bottlenecks it experiences on MINIX. Several areas are found where MINIX does not perform as well as Linux. The causes for these differences are investigated.

  • Can Microkernels Mitigate Microarchitectural Attacks?⋆
    Can Microkernels Mitigate Microarchitectural Attacks?? Gunnar Grimsdal1, Patrik Lundgren2, Christian Vestlund3, Felipe Boeira1, and Mikael Asplund1[0000−0003−1916−3398] 1 Department of Computer and Information Science, Link¨oping University, Sweden ffelipe.boeira,[email protected] 2 Westermo Network Technologies [email protected] 3 Sectra AB, Link¨oping,Sweden Abstract. Microarchitectural attacks such as Meltdown and Spectre have attracted much attention recently. In this paper we study how effec- tive these attacks are on the Genode microkernel framework using three different kernels, Okl4, Nova, and Linux. We try to answer the question whether the strict process separation provided by Genode combined with security-oriented kernels such as Okl4 and Nova can mitigate microar- chitectural attacks. We evaluate the attack effectiveness by measuring the throughput of data transfer that violates the security properties of the system. Our results show that the underlying side-channel attack Flush+Reload used in both Meltdown and Spectre, is effective on all in- vestigated platforms. We were also able to achieve high throughput using the Spectre attack, but we were not able to show any effective Meltdown attack on Okl4 or Nova. Keywords: Genode, Meltdown, Spectre, Flush+Reload, Okl4, Nova 1 Introduction It used to be the case that general-purpose operating systems were mostly found in desktop computers and servers. However, as IoT devices are becoming in- creasingly more sophisticated, they tend more and more to require a powerful operating system such as Linux, since otherwise all basic services must be im- plemented and maintained by the device developers. At the same time, security has become a prime concern both in IoT and in the cloud domain.
