Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable the interoperability between processes configured for pointer authentication and processes that are not configured for pointer authentication. Enabling the interoperability between such processes enables essential libraries, such as system libraries, to be compiled with pointer authentication, while enabling those libraries to still be used by processes that have not yet been compiled or configured to use pointer authentication.

Abstract: A management node of a server maintains a database of configuration parameters that stores the individual configuration parameters for each compute node. In response to a boot request at a compute node, a configuration parameter control module at the node intercepts locally targeted requests to load configuration parameters. The configuration parameter module sends the requests to the management node and in response the management node sends configuration parameters responsive to the requests. The configuration parameter module provides the configuration parameters to the compute node, thereby emulating a local boot memory for the compute node.

Abstract: Methods and devices for provisioning a hyper-converged infrastructure of bare metal systems are disclosed herein. Two fabric elements are configured in a master-slave arrangement to ensure high availability. ONIE capable fabric elements may be pre-installed with an operating system as firmware to run open network operating systems, such as Linux. The Linux operating system includes a KVM hypervisor to run virtual machines. An operating system of the virtual machines can access an external network by creating a bridge between switch management ports and a virtual network interface. New node elements may be added by connecting the network ports of the new node element to the fabric elements and booting the new node element in a network/PXE boot mode. The new node element obtains an IP address from a DHCP server and boots an image downloaded from a PXE server.
