every one of your videos up until now has been right on the perfect edge of "I understand, but we're stretching it". I've got to be honest, this one managed to get over my head. That's not bad, its a challenge. Gonna have to rewatch it a couple times and do some extra research on top of it, I think.

@@fasterthanlime Again, fantastic work, you're a really great teacher. Watching it again, I wrote down things that I have questions on. There are definitely resources on most of things available and I have a good place to start learning from now. The largest gap in available resources to me seems like eBPF. What defines the memory sections (ro, rw, re)? (Making our own executable packer is on my list to read yet.) TLB makes sense for virtual->physical, but what does walking the page table mean? (Also how does the TLB cache recent memory accesses? Is there a large performance hit to TLB misses? And can the TLB only work for a single process at a time? How does flushing work?) What exactly is a page fault? What is stack/heap, and how to they relate to syscalls (break, mmap, madvise, etc)? Does madvise just allow the kernel to remove pages from the resident memory, but they're still in the virtual memory? What is malloc, malloc_trim, calloc, realloc, free, and how do they relate to syscalls, heap, virtual address space, etc? With your mention of eBPF I lost all understanding of what eBPF is. I thought that it was only for packet manipulation and statistics collection on network traffic. A video on eBPF would be awesome. Everything after ~18:00 I was completely lost. That could probably take a decade of learning. (ptrace, userfaultfd, what is a fd?, what's a setuid binary, self-tracing processes, PID namespaces, seccompbpf?)

Your videos are great. I was looking for some rust videos when I stumbled upon them. I've been programming for about 20 years so most videos are painfully slow. Your videos always touch on subjects that I've never had to deal with. I've not learnt a huge amount of rust, but my understanding of how systems actually work has grown a lot, and enticed me to think more about the tools I take for granted every day and to think about in earnest how I would build them. So thank you!

This video exposes a lot of "false dogma" IMO. You traditionally hear the simple explanation of the cost of dynamic vectors, usually saying something like "if a push exhausts the capacity, you have to reallocate and copy everything over", which is *morally* true, and maybe was *actually* true 20 years ago. Nowadays, on modern OSes its interesting to see how it's not the case. Yet another reason to never preemptively optimize. Measure first!

Technically sections in an ELF don't need padding. The section header contains the size field, the loader in the kernel can just load the non-zero stuff and leave the rest. Filling ELF section with zeroes ensures that the page is also filled with zeroes, instead of garbage. It has nothing to do with page alignment. The virtual *adresses* still need to be page aligned though, as most MMUs don't support setting memory attributes on anything other than a whole page.

You haven't looked at RR code base before? A lot of this stuff's in there, although, your project I think is a better source to learn this stuff from since it's probably smaller in scope (and it's in Rust, RR is written in C++). But you've got the sending of fd's over a socket, the injection of syscalls, etc and all that really cool Linux stuff.

It's so crazy that the minimum memory a program can allocate (4k) used to be sold as high end ram sticks. I was reading a comment on some other tech video and a person said their computer could have up to 20 4k ram cards. But that would take all their expansion slots.

It was another time, for sure! From devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20200728-00/?p=104012 Huge pointers could refer to memory blocks larger than 64KB by adjusting the segment whenever the offset overflowed.¹ Pointer arithmetic with huge pointers was computationally expensive, so you didn’t use them much.²
