Session
As the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) evolves, the kernel must juggle a complex mix of safety-critical functions and general-purpose applications. But how do we prove that a bug in a non-critical 'Quality Managed' (QM) container won't disrupt the deterministic performance required for an ASIL-B context? This is the challenge of Freedom From Interference (FFI).
In this session, we dive into a specialized test suite designed for the Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System. We’ll demonstrate a 'worst-case scenario' architecture where we execute a syscall fuzzer (Syzkaller) inside the QM environment to intentionally try to break the system from the inside out while simultaneously validating functional integrity and scheduler latency.
