...We aim to send all the changes we make here upstream, but this may take time. This kernel allows us to ship new features faster, as we do not have to adhere to the upstream release schedule (and, for better or worse, code standards). We also rely on it to test and prototype patches before sending them upstream, which is crucial because we maintainers cannot test on all Surface devices (which also means we may break things along the way).

syzkaller is Google’s coverage-guided, feedback-driven kernel fuzzer designed to uncover reliability and security bugs in operating system kernels at scale. It automatically generates, mutates, and minimizes system call programs, then drives them through a specialized executor (syz-executor) to exercise deep kernel paths. The system integrates tightly with sanitizers such as KASAN, KMSAN, KCSAN, and UBSAN to surface memory safety, concurrency, and undefined behavior issues with actionable reports. ...
