UGoogle kunye neLinux Foundation zibhengeze izicwangciso zoku xhasa ngemali abagcini bexesha elizeleyo ababini abaza kugxila ngokukodwa kuphuhliso lwe Ukhuseleko lwekernel yeLinux.
UGustavo Silva kunye noNathan Chancellor, bobabini abancedisi beLinux abasebenzayo, baya kusebenza ukomeleza ugcino kunye nokuphucula ukhuseleko lwekernel kunye namanyathelo anxulumeneyo ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kweprojekthi yesoftware yasimahla eyona idumileyo kwihlabathi kubasebenzisi kumashumi eminyaka ezayo.
Injongo kukwenza inkqubo yokusebenza kwindawo yonke yomelele ngakumbi, njengoko uphando lubonisa ukuba ukhuseleko lwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo kufuneka luphuculwe, ngakumbi kwiLinux.
Ingxelo ukusuka kwi-Linux Foundation Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) kunye neYunivesithi yaseHarvard yeLebhu yeNzululwazi yeNzululwazi (LISH) ifumene ukusilela kwemizamo yokhuseleko kwisoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo.
Isoftware yomthombo wasimahla kunye nevulelekileyo (FOSS) ibe yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yoqoqosho lwangoku. Isoftware yasimahla iqikelelwa ukuba yenze i-80 ukuya kwi-90 yeepesenti yayo yonke isoftware yanamhlanje, kwaye isoftware sisixhobo esibaluleke kakhulu phantse kuwo onke amashishini, ngokutsho kweLinux Foundation.
Ukuqonda ngcono imeko yokhuseleko kunye nozinzo lwenkqubo yesoftware yasimahla nevulelekileyo kunye nendlela imibutho kunye neenkampani ingayixhasa, i-OpenSSF kunye ne-LISH baye basebenzisana ukwenza uphando olubanzi yabanegalelo kolu hlobo lwesoftware njengenxalenye yomzamo omkhulu wokwamkela indlela yokuthintela ukomeleza i-cybersecurity ngokuphucula ukhuseleko lwesoftware yasimahla.
Iinjongo ukusuka kolu vavanyo lwaba qonda imeko yokhuseleko kunye nozinzo lwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo kunye nokuchonga amathuba okuyiphucula kunye nokuqinisekisa ukusebenza kwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo kwixesha elizayo. Iziphumo zichonge izizathu zokuba nethemba ngekamva lesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo.
"Ukhuseleko lwekhonkco lokubonelela kunye nokhuseleko lwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo kubalulekile," utshilo uDan Lorenc, injineli yesoftware kuGoogle. "Sizama ukuthetha ngayo ngoku kwaye sibonise abantu indlela esenza ngayo, ukuze bakhuthazwe kwaye bakhuthazwe kwaye bafumane ezinye iindlela zokusinceda nathi."
U-Lorenc ubona izinto ezimbini eziphambili kumba wokhuseleko lwesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo. Eyokuqala yinyani yokuba ivela kubantu kwihlabathi liphela, abanye babo banokuba nenkohlakalo okanye baneenjongo ezimbi, umba wokhuseleko ohambelana nesoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo. Enye into yokuba isoftware kwaye yonke isoftware ineziphene, ngabom okanye hayi, ekufuneka zilungiswe.
“Ngenxa yokuba ikhowudi ingeyoyakho ayithethi ukuba akukho zinambuzane,” wongeze watsho uLorenc. "Kuyinto engafanelekanga ukuba iinkampani ezininzi ziqala ukuyiqonda." Ezi zinto zimbini, zidityaniswe nenani elikhulayo labantu abasebenzisa isoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo, yenza ukhuseleko lube yinto ephambili. "Siwongekile ukuxhasa iinzame zikaGustavo Silva kunye noNathan Chancellor emsebenzini wabo wokuqinisa ukhuseleko lwe-Linux kernel," wongezelela.
Ingqonyela, omnye wabaphuhlisi ababini abathatha le ndima, usebenze kwi-Linux kernel iminyaka emine enesiqingatha. Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, waqala ukufaka isandla kuguqulelo oluphambili lweLinux njengenxalenye yeprojekthi yeClangBuiltLinux, inyathelo lokwakha i-Linux kernel ngezixhobo zokwakha zeClang kunye neLLVM.
Iza kugxila ekutsaleni nasekulungiseni naziphi na iibugs ezifunyenwe ngabahlanganisi beClang/LLVM ngelixa usebenza ukuseka iinkqubo zokudibanisa eziqhubekayo ukuxhasa lo msebenzi kwixesha elizayo. Ngezo njongo zisekiweyo, uceba ukuqalisa ukongeza ukusebenza kunye nokulungisa i-kernel usebenzisa obu buchwepheshe bokwakha.
Ingqonyela sinethemba lokuba abantu abaninzi baya kuqalisa ukusebenzisa le projekthi umqambi weziseko zophuhliso LLVM kunye negalelo ekugqibeleni kunye nokulungiswa kwe-kernel, kuba "iya kuhamba indlela ende ekuphuculeni ukhuseleko lweLinux kuye wonke umntu," utshilo kwingxelo.
U-Silva waqala ukusebenza kwi-kernel njengenxalenye ye-Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative, inkqubo apho abaphuhlisi abancinci baqeqeshwa khona ziinjineli ezisebenza kwi-kernel.
Okwangoku, umsebenzi wakhe wexesha elizeleyo wokhuseleko ugxile ekupheliseni iindidi ezahlukeneyo zokuphuphuma kwebuffer. Ikwasebenza ekulungiseni ubuthathaka phambi kokuba bafikelele kumgca ongundoqo kunye nokuphuhlisa iindlela zokukhusela ezisusa zonke iindidi zobuthathaka. U-Silva ukhulule i-kernel patch yakhe yokuqala kwi-2010 kwaye ube phakathi kwabaphuhlisi abaphezulu abahlanu abasebenzayo ukususela ngo-2017.
"Sisebenzela ukwakha isiseko esiphezulu esithembekileyo, esinamandla kunye nokumelana nokuhlaselwa ngamaxesha onke," kusho uSilva. "Ngale migudu, sinethemba lokuba abantu, abagcini ngokukodwa, baya kuqonda ukubaluleka kokwamkela utshintsho oluya kwenza ukuba ikhowudi yabo ingabikho kwiibhugi eziqhelekileyo."
