In lieu of proposed agenda items and due to a few absences anyway, let's cancel this week.
Instead, please review the recent type-safe system call ABI proposal: https://github.com/tock/design-explorations/pull/4
We will likely also skip next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Inspired by the ongoing discussions about porting Tock to CHERI, I wrote
down some ideas on how to make Tock's syscall ABI more type-safe. The
writeup is in the design-explorations repository at Add an exploration of
type-safe system calls <https://github.com/tock/design-explorations/pull/4>.
While I'm not suggesting that we should start on Tock 3.0 now, I do think
we should incorporate some of the design ideas into Tock 3.0 when it
happens. A secondary goal of the document is to spread knowledge about
CHERI.
Feel free to take a look, and either reply with feedback here or comment on
the PR.
