The two special_issues entries were proof-of-concept data and could not be corroborated: no TPDS "Edge AI Systems" or open FGCS "Serverless Computing at the Edge" call is findable, and both named real researchers as guest editors. Removed rather than corrected — nothing verifiable exists to replace them with. No open special issue was found at any tracked journal, so the field stays absent until a real CFP appears. Audited the rest of the data while there. All 39 candidate pools come from DBLP and all 471 digested papers reconcile against them, so the paper set is sound. Three defects surfaced: - DBLP returns HTML-escaped text and fetch_papers never decoded it, so 136 entities sat in the cached pools and "Theodore Y. Ts'o" reached the published ATC-2024 digest. Decoded at the fetch boundary and cleaned the existing files through the YAML parser. - SC event_dates recorded the exhibition window (Nov 17-19) instead of the conference (Nov 15-20); EuroSys ran a day long (Apr 19-24 vs 19-23). Both verified against the official sites, which also confirm every SC, EuroSys and OSDI submission deadline is exact. - TC-2025 digest carried a paraphrased title, now matching DBLP. EuroSys only records its spring cycle; the fall cycle has no home in the one-deadline-per-venue schema. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

FetchBPF: Customizable Prefetching Policies in Linux with eBPF
Xuechun Cao, Shaurya Patel, Soo-Yee Lim, Xueyuan Han et al.
TL;DR — Extends eBPF into the page-fault / prefetch path, giving user-space programs a safe, low-overhead hook to install custom hardware-prefetch policies without kernel modifications.
Fast (Trapless) Kernel Probes Everywhere
Jinghao Jia, Michael V. Le, Salman Ahmed 0001, Dan Williams 0001 et al.
TL;DR — Eliminates the trap-based overhead of kprobes by using binary rewriting to instrument kernel functions at near-zero cost, enabling always-on production tracing.
FBMM: Making Memory Management Extensible With Filesystems
Bijan Tabatabai, James Christopher Sorenson III, Michael M. Swift
TL;DR — Proposes delegating Linux virtual-memory management to filesystem drivers via a clean abstraction layer, opening the OS memory subsystem to the same extensibility that filesystems enjoy.
Limitations and Opportunities of Modern Hardware Isolation Mechanisms
Xiangdong Chen, Zhaofeng Li 0004, Tirth Jain, Vikram Narayanan et al.
TL;DR — Empirically evaluates Intel MPK, RISC-V sPMP, and related primitives and shows that their performance and safety properties diverge sharply from vendor claims, motivating a fresh look at hardware-assisted compartmentalization.
FastCommit: resource-efficient, performant and cost-effective file system journaling
Harshad Shirwadkar, Saurabh Kadekodi, Theodore Y. Ts'o
TL;DR — Redesigns ext4 journal commits to write only changed metadata deltas rather than full blocks, slashing journaling overhead while preserving crash consistency — and is already deployed in the Linux kernel.
ZMS: Zone Abstraction for Mobile Flash Storage
Joo Young Hwang, Seokhwan Kim, Daejun Park 0002, Yong-Gil Song et al.
TL;DR — Introduces a zone-based abstraction that exposes the append-only write semantics of mobile UFS flash to the OS, cutting write amplification and GC overhead by an order of magnitude on mobile workloads.
Ethane: An Asymmetric File System for Disaggregated Persistent Memory
Miao Cai 0001, Junru Shen, Baoliu Ye
TL;DR — Proposes a split-path file system design where reads bypass the server entirely and writes use lightweight logging, achieving near-DRAM read latency on disaggregated persistent memory.
StreamCache: Revisiting Page Cache for File Scanning on Fast Storage Devices
Zhiyue Li, Guangyan Zhang
TL;DR — Demonstrates that the Linux page cache becomes a bottleneck — not a benefit — for sequential scans on NVMe SSDs, and replaces it with a lightweight streaming buffer that halves latency for analytical workloads.
PeRF: Preemption-enabled RDMA Framework
Sugi Lee, Mingyu Choi, Ikjun Yeom, Younghoon Kim
TL;DR — Adds fine-grained preemption to RDMA by intercepting work-queue operations at the NIC driver level, enabling priority isolation for latency-sensitive RPC traffic sharing a fabric with bulk transfers.
OSMOSIS: Enabling Multi-Tenancy in Datacenter SmartNICs
Mikhail Khalilov, Marcin Chrapek, Siyuan Shen, Alessandro Vezzu et al.
TL;DR — Designs an OS-like resource manager for SmartNIC compute and memory that enforces tenant isolation and QoS, showing that shared-SmartNIC deployments are practical without sacrificing performance.
mmTLS: Scaling the Performance of Encrypted Network Traffic Inspection
Junghan Yoon, Seunghyun Do, Duckwoo Kim, Taejoong Chung et al.
TL;DR — Splits TLS session state across multiple cores using a novel sharding scheme, removing the per-connection serialization bottleneck in middlebox TLS inspection and achieving near-linear multi-core scaling.
UniMem: Redesigning Disaggregated Memory within A Unified Local-Remote Memory Hierarchy
Yijie Zhong, Minqiang Zhou, Zhirong Shen, Jiwu Shu
TL;DR — Collapses the local/remote memory distinction into a single unified hierarchy with a new page-placement runtime, achieving transparent memory disaggregation with significantly lower tail latency than prior CXL-based approaches.
