ClangBuiltLinux Continuous Integration: Review and Look Ahead

Author

Abstract

Over the last year, we have had vastly improved our continuous integration due to the move from Travis CI to TuxSuite + GitHub Actions as well as reaching out to other continuous integration platforms such as Red Hat's Continuous Kernel Integration (CKI).

This talk aims to outline the improved coverage such as:

• generator.yml / check_logs.py / generate_*.py
• Coverage of allmodconfig / allyesconfig
• Coverage of clang-10 through clang-14
• Coverage of sanitizers
• Coverage of distribution configurations

The talk will discuss some of the pain points of maintaining a continuous integration setup and see if there are ways to improve this:

• Making failure reasons more obvious
• Applying patches to help failing builds
• Automatically filing issues (or sending emails?)
• Making issues more reproducible

Estimated duration of talk

30-45 minutes between presentation and potential discussion.
