| | | | | As a Linux kernel developer, I will often need to build and boot new kernels to hunt down issues or test new functionality for regressions. While it is possible to manually install these kernels on machines, it is easiest to use the distribution's package manager, as the kernel does not need to be built on the machine it is being installed on. With .deb and .rpm-based systems, it is easy to build a kernel package within the kernel source itself, using the bindeb-pkg and binrpm-pkg targets respectively. However, for Arch Linux, my distribution of choice, that is not so simple. Furthermore, when doing certain types of development, such as bisecting an issue, it is more convenient to do all the building in an actual source tree, rather than one that is managed ... | |

| | | | | Here is everything you need to know to set up a minimal Linux kernel dev environment on Ubuntu 20.04. It works great on small VPS instances, is optimized for a fast development cycle, and allows you to run custom binaries to exercise the specific kernel functionality being developed. Step 1: | |

| | | Note This post is based on a whitepaper I wrote at the beginning of 2016 to be used to help many different companies understand the Linux kernel release model and encourage them to start taking the LTS stable updates more often. I then used it as a basis of a presentation I gave at the Linux Recipes conference in September 2017 which can be seen here. With the recent craziness of Meltdown and Spectre , I've seen lots of things written about how Linux is released and how we handle handles security patches that are totally incorrect, so I figured it is time to dust off the text, update it in a few places, and publish this here for everyone to benefit from. | ||
