SLTS Kernel and Base-Layer Development in the Civil Infrastructure Platform - Yoshitake Kobayashi, Toshiba

The Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) is creating a super long-term supported (SLTS) open source "base layer" for industrial grade software. We have been working on security fixes and some backported features since the moment we decided that Linux kernel v4.4 would be the first SLTS version. In this talk, we will describe the current development status of the SLTS kernel and testing environment. First, we'll explain our kernel development policy. Then, we'll describe the functionality that has been backported. Second, we'll talk about testing before using our base-layer on real products. We have been developing a test framework to collect and share test results. To build it, we don't want to duplicate existing work such as KernelCI, Fuego and others. For that reason, we are trying to collaborate and contribute to such projects. And finally, we'll discuss the future roadmap.
