Description

The Linux kernel is constantly growing and evolving; unfortunately, corner-case regressions can creep into code in every release. Gcov test coverage can find infrequently used code paths that may contain issues. This presentation discusses how such techniques are used to improve kernel testing with stress-ng and the challenges in reaching full test coverage.
