@kernellogger Finding out what would be a sustainable approach to test kernel patches with a distribution kernel is already a conference presentation. If I was in Linux conference, would not miss that one. It is *rarely* covered topic.

Let’s imagine you want to do this in Rust:

#[link_section = ".note.jarkko"]

What is the default alignment?

#rust

@vathpela @kernellogger @securepaul Yeah all this helps! It's just before I take a few days and play with all these cool ideas that you and others kindly provided, anything I would right now would probably be uttermostly incorrect :-) Lot's of stuff to process. Thank you!

Have not really checked this through but what is keeping v4l2loopback out of upstream?

It's useful for instance using a phone as a webcam during meetings, which actually quite useful (because e.g. iPhone actually has a quality camera).

@vathpela @kernellogger @securepaul I'll revisit this thanks :-) Cannot really say but appreciate all this info. Now I need to digest all this for a while.

That was a little scary. I asked ChatGPT, how would I best do X ? It responded, why don't you use thing Y that you have? I had told it in the past that I have thing Y, in a different chat session. That means we have arrived at the state where it's keeping track of what I said in the past.

Advice needed. what i say if i get a patch in the form "Dr. Firstname Lastname" in SOB?

I can say that it does trigger me a bit but I can deal with my personal issues ;-)

@vathpela @kernellogger @securepaul pretty interesting discussion this came to be. but yeah, it is essentially a flaw in developer experience.

for more complex patch sets it would be beneficial to be able to do such thing with low barrier, i.e. it could also have positive effect on quality for stuff sent to LKML in the end. you always end up doing fairly narrow and targeted testing without this feature in the distribution, which means in practice missing bunch of "side-channel bugs".

@vathpela @kernellogger @securepaul One ugly but totally working hack my kernel testing project: I don't use cmake as a build system. I use it to download source code and get away using Git submodules :-)

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/linux-tpmdd-test/src/branch/main/CMakeLists.txt

It's ugly but solid ;-)
