[$] Kernel API specification and validation
jeudi 3 juillet 2025, 20:24 , par LWN.net
The kernel project makes a strong promise to its users: the kernel ABI will
not be changed in ways that break user-space code. The occasional failure notwithstanding, kernel developers do try to live up to that promise. They are handicapped by one little problem, though: there is no description of what the kernel ABI is, and no comprehensive way to test whether a given change breaks it. The kernel API specification framework proposed (in its second revision) by Sasha Levin addresses some of those concerns, but the solution is incomplete and does not come for free.
