Continuously Integrating the Upstream Linux Kernel on Hardware
summary
Project runs continuous functional tests on upstream and LTS kernels using LKFT and tools like LAVA, Jenkins, SQUAD, Bugzilla; it builds kernels with OpenEmbedded, schedules boot and functional suites (kselftest, LTP, libhugetlbfs) on real boards and QEMU, and reports regressions within 48 hours. The pipeline accumulates over 10 million tests and about 150 test jobs for next/mainline kernels; flaky and hanging tests remain the main operational challenge to trustable pass/fail signals.
