Linux Regtracking

Build and integrate mechanisms into the Linux kernel development processes to track all regressions reported by humans or CI systems, as the kernel is at the very heart of many devices that drive the internet or connected to it – but many of those use outdated kernel versions with known vulnerabilities, as vendors and admins fear switching to a later version might break something.
