Speaker

Arnd Bergmann (Linaro)

Description

For the past 15 years, Arnd has been using a custom kernel build setup for regression testing linux-next kernels. Initially set up purely for the maintenance of the SoC tree, this has also helped in a number of other initiatives for cross-tree code changes and produced thousands of bugfixes across every major subsystems of the kernel.

In this session, Arnd will discuss some of the lessons learned from this work, and how some of the same ideas can be applied to other test setups and CI systems.
