While Continuous Integration (CI) has become a standard for most software projects via platforms like GitHub, testing massive, highly complex repositories like the Linux kernel has traditionally required bespoke environments. This limitation creates significant friction for new kernel contributors, out-of-tree module maintainers, and low-level system library authors attempting to validate compatibility against the latest development branches.
This session details a practical architecture for running the latest development kernels entirely within commodity CI environments. There are two key components: a highly optimized, VM-tuned kernel configuration, and vmtest, an open-source utility that abstracts away the complexities of QEMU configuration, seamlessly maps the CI workspace as the virtual machine's root filesystem via the 9P protocol, and propagates test command return codes back to the runner.
By the end of the session, attendees will gain the knowledge to build custom kernel CI workflows, leaving with a boilerplate GitHub Actions .yml from danobi/vmtest-action-demo to immediately deploy their own testing pipelines.
