| Coccinelle is a program matching and transformation tool that has been extensively used for improving Linux kernel code. This project will involve using Coccinelle to address a security issue in the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel contains many data structures whose contents never change once they are initialized, many of which contain function pointers. Such structures that are modifiable at run time constitute a security risk, because an attacker may be able to overwrite the field value with a pointer to malicious code, that will then be executed with full kernel privileges. The first goal of this project is to use Coccinelle to insert const annotations on such structures to prevent runtime modfications. Some structures, however, cannot be made const, because they are initialized in several steps. In these cases, it may be possible to annotate the structure as {{{__ro_after_init}}}, if all of the initializations can take place during the init phase. The second goal is to add {{{__ro_after_init}}} where they are needed. This may requiring adding {{{__init}}} annotations on some code that is actually only needed during the init phase.line bash script. Please indicate in your application whether you are interested in this part of the project, however, interest in this part of the project is not a prerequisite for being selected as an intern. More information about Coccinelle is available [http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ here], including a [http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/papers/tutorial.pdf tutorial]. For some Coccinelle small tasks, click on the mentor name. == IIO driver == ''Mentor:'': [:AlisonSchofield:Alison Schofield] and [:DanielBaluta:Daniel Baluta] A driver allows applications to communicate and control hardware devices. Each development cycle, driver changes account for more than a half of the total Linux kernel code changes. The goal of this project is to write a driver for a sensor using the Industrial I/O interface. In the first part of the project you will get familiar with the hardware and the IIO subsystem then implement raw readings from the device. After upstreaming the code we will enhance the driver with support for buffered readings, power management and interrupts. The exact device will be decided when the internship starts. We will provide you the hardware setup necessary to test the driver. If you are interested in this project please consider solving the [:IIO_tasks:IIO tasks]. == nftables == ''Mentor:'': [:pablo:Pablo Neira Ayuso] nftables provides a replacement for the very popular {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables tools. nftables reuses most of the Netfilter components such as the existing hooks, connection tracking system, NAT, userspace queueing, logging among many other features. So we have only replaced the packet classification framework. nftables comes with a new userspace utility ''nft'' and the low-level userspace library ''libnftnl''. The goal will be to help finish the translation layer software that converts from the iptables syntax to nftables, complete some simple missing features and fixing bugs whenever possible. If you are interested in this project please consider solving any of the following tasks: * Request an account for the wiki.nftables.org page and help us improve the content. * Provide an iptables to nft translation via the iptables-translate utility. You can give a try to the following extensions: icmp, icmp6, rt. * Try to fix any of the existing nft bugs in bugzilla.netfilter.org. For more information on nftables, please check: http://wiki.nftables.org == Project == ''Mentor:'': [:WikiName:Mentor names] Brief project description. |

Outreachy (formerly FOSS Outreach Program for Women (OPW) and Project Ascend Alumni)
Please see the Outreachy homepage for an introduction to the program.
The application period for Round 16 will start in mid February, 2018. It's too early to send patches to the outreachy kernel mailing list, but please consider working through the other parts of the tutorial if you are interested in applying.
We are looking for round 16 funding sponsors and Linux kernel mentors. Please see the linked FAQ pages if you want to help out.
Welcome Outreachy applicants! Our round 15 sponsors have generiously donated funds for internships for women, genderqueer, genderfluid, or genderfree people, and residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander to work on the Linux kernel. The kernel is the most basic layer of the Linux operating system. It encompasses many things: hardware drivers, filesystems, security, task scheduling, and much more.
News This year, we ask that you send all patches to the appropriate staging driver maintainers, as well as to the outreachy mailing list. See Submit a patch for more information. For IIO patches, be sure to send them to linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
How to apply
The application period for Outreachy Round 16 is February 12 to March 22. Please fill your application by March 22, and complete your kernel patch by March 22 also (7pm UTC in both cases). Applicants that do not complete the first patch will not be considered for an internship. Please take a look at our application FAQ for more info on how to fill out your application.
If you are interested in being a Linux kernel intern, please:
Join the outreachy-kernel mailing list
- Join the #outreachy IRC channel on irc.gnome.org
- Join the #kernel-outreachy IRC channel on irc.oftc.net
Read our instructions for applying, and apply by March 22.
Use our tutorial to send in your first kernel patch by March 22.
Participating Linux kernel projects
Applicants for all projects should have basic experience with C or C++ and boolean algebra. Optionally, we would love it if you have basic operating system knowledge, know your way around a Linux/UNIX command line, and/or know the revision system called git. Please note that these three skills can be learned during the internship.
Some projects may have small tasks you can complete as part of the application process. Do not start on these tasks until after you complete the first patch tutorial and Greg Kroah-Hartman has accepted at least ten of your cleanup patches and two of your patchsets. In order to ensure applicants aren't working on the same task, we need your help in coordinating who is working on what task. Please see the Outreachy tasks page for details before starting on a task!
