In an initial report based on source code review, the reviewers said "The combination of design, programming language, and exceptionally skilled engineers makes Hubris fundamentally sound and quite resilient to average, low-level security bugs."

@mxshift ("Rick Altherr") replied to a tweet by @mxshift:

As part of that scrutiny, Oxide engaged with an independent security company to evaluate Hubris early in its design. Design documents and source code have been picked through to find any concerns early and have them be addressed as part of the design instead of a bandaid.

As Steve says, I'm relieved Hubris is finally open source so I can share all the cool things my coworkers and I have been up to. Hubris is in many ways a dream environment for embedded development.

Super glad that this is finally open source, so I can sing my co-workers' praises in public and not private 😀

also today is my 6 year work anniversary!!

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

this leads me to another interesting thing: because system calls can take borrows, this means we can do stuff that's hard to do in non-rust systems, for example, "please loan some memory of mine to this task over here" which is very cool imho

this is the bit you'd actually want to call, exposed in our "userlib" library for writing tasks.

(well this is actually part of the definition, note it's not a 'pub fn')

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

another cool thing: system calls are defined in terms of Rust semantics. so we can have safe system calls! here's the definition of "reply":

i wanted try blocks once but resisted the temptation; we're very close to being on stable, and if we let nightly flags proliferate, we'll never get there

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

we do use nightly. but *only*:

* inline asm
* naked functions

inline assembly is on its way to being stabilized: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72016#issuecomment-964186287 but we need one or two bits that won't be stable just yet, iirc

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

individual tasks use unsafe to access hardware as well, of course. being a microkernel a lot of stuff that would be in the kernel in a monolithic kernel is in userspace here.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

there's also a few unsafe extern "C" fns, for things like SysTick handler, the syscall entrypoint, stuff like that.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

One fun thing folks always ask about OSes written in Rust: what's the deal with unsafe?

well, the kernel itself is just under 2300 lines of Rust code. `rg "unsafe"` spits out one screen of results for me; we have 7 invocations of 'unsafe' *except* for arch\arm_m.rs which has 22
