BPF CI for stable kernels

This repository implements BPF CI testing for released Linux stable kernels.

The per-version kernel branches are synced and tests are triggered on push.

Branches

CI code lives on the main branch, no Linux code is committed there.

linux-X.Y.y branches track corresponding released stable kernel.

.github and ci directories from main are overlaid on top of every stable version branch on every sync.

mainline mirrors torvalds/master, it's a shared-history base for the stable branches.

How it works

.github/workflows/sync-upstream.yml runs daily and on every push to main:

1. mainline is refreshed from torvalds master.
2. Each tracked linux-X.Y.y branch is regenerated from the released stable tip + queued stable-queue patches (git am) + the CI code overlaid from main, then pushed.

The push to a linux-X.Y.y branch triggers .github/workflows/test.yml.
