KernelCI: how patches grow up and go to school
This talk will give an overview of the open-source tools being created by the KernelCI project to help catch problems before they end up in the Linux kernel. Follow a patch from its toddler days on the mailing list through its “school-age” years of stress and testing in linux-next and mainline and its eventual “graduation” into a long-term stable (LTS) kernel. Throughout the lifecycle of a patch, there are many opportunities for testing, and we’ll discuss all the ways KernelCI is involved. There may even be stories of “grown-up” patches that need to go back to school.
We’ll cover the tooling used by KernelCI to build, boot and test the kernel, an overview of how a wide variety of hardware is used to validate the kernel, and how data is collected during each phase in order to provide reporting, analysis and visualization of results.
