It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

I wonder if there could be some way to sign a dynamic library to allow it to create direct system calls and then pass that as a kernel command line argument at boot?

OpenBSD is certainly taking it quite far. They want to disallow system calls from all non-libc code segments so that only whitelisted code can interface with it.

It is not the only operating system in the "unstable kernel interface" group though. Linux is actually the only one with a stable system call interface.

I've written somewhat at length about this:

FWIW your website is unusable on desktop: the font is unreadably huge. And while Firefox's reader mode does seem to mitigate the issue correctly, Safari's cuts off at the second paragraph.

Thank you. I'll try to fix it. I gotta get better at this.
