PROFILE
Abhilasha Manna
Worked on kernel security hardening and build system improvements for the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository, focusing on Linux and Yocto environments. Delivered features that conditionally included hardening.config in kernel builds based on distro security policies, ensuring consistent application of security measures. Implemented global enforcement of hardening configurations and addressed build path leakage by overriding CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, preventing host-specific paths from appearing in kernel modules. These changes resolved Yocto QA build errors and improved auditability and maintainability. Utilized C and Python to configure build systems and kernel modules, enhancing the security posture and release readiness of Qualcomm device kernel builds.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 performance highlights for qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom. Delivered kernel module security hardening and build path leakage prevention across builds. Implemented global hardening.config and overridden CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE to avoid embedding host workspace paths in out-of-tree (OOT) kernel modules, addressing Yocto Package QA build failures and improving overall security. Changes were implemented via two commits on linux-qcom-next and linux-qcom-6.18 branches, ensuring consistent hardening across kernel versions. Key outcomes include: - Global enforcement of security hardening across all builds to maintain a uniform security baseline. - Prevention of build-path leakage by setting CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE to n, eliminating host-specific paths from shipping images. - Resolution of Yocto QA build errors related to leaked build paths, reducing post-build remediation and accelerating release readiness. - Clear alignment with security and packaging requirements, improving maintainability and audit readiness.

Nov 1, 2025Month: 2025-11 | Qualcomm Linux (meta-qcom) security hardening feature delivered. Implemented conditional inclusion of hardening.config in the kernel build only when DISTRO_FEATURES contains sec-hardening, aligning build behavior with security policy and reducing potential misconfigurations. The work is tracked under the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository and is demonstrated by a single, signed commit that adds conditional hardening.config support. Impact highlights: strengthened kernel build security posture for Qualcomm devices by gating hardening options behind distro features, improving consistency across releases, and enabling easier audits of security-related build-time decisions.
