  2. Memory safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety

    When combined with automatic bounds checking on all array accesses and no support for raw pointer arithmetic, garbage collected languages provide strong memory safety guarantees (though the guarantees may be weaker for low-level operations explicitly marked unsafe, such as use of a foreign function interface). However, the performance overhead ...

    One of the goals of the OpenBSD project is the integration of facilities and software for strong cryptography into the core operating system. To this end, a number of low-level features are provided, including a source of strong pseudo random numbers; [19] built-in cryptographic hash functions and transforms; and support for cryptographic hardware (OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework).

  5. modprobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modprobe

    modprobe is a Linux program that provides for loading a loadable kernel module into a Linux kernel, unloading a loaded module and many other related features.It provides an ability to make decisions about which modules to load, awareness of module dependencies, so that when requested to load a module, it adds other required modules first and resolution of recursive module dependencies.

  6. Filter driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_driver

    The Windows Dev Center - Hardware pages explain upper and lower filter drivers in detail. [2] For example, the generic USB camera (UVC) driver usbvideo.sys is a function driver, while the bus driver handles USB data from the host controller devices. A lower level filter modifies the behavior of the camera hardware (e.g. watching for interrupt ...

  7. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    When the driver pushes harder on the right foot, the valve may "pop" open to a point greater than that wanted by the driver, thus creating too much power and a lurch forward. Special solvent sprays are offered by all manufacturers and aftermarket jobbers to solve this very common problem.
