The kernelci.org project aims at continuously testing the mainline Linux kernel, from stable branches to linux-next on a variety of platforms. When a revision fails to build or boot, kernel developers get informed via email reports, with a summary of results also available on the website itself. There is now a new experimental feature to automatically run a bisection for each boot regression found on kernelci.org. This will be started with the known good/bad revisions, on a given platform, in a given lab, with a given config, and has already started to show some very useful results.
