With an ever-increasing user-base demanding a higher quality of stable, production-ready kernel sources and featureful desktop support the professionalism and staffing of the kernel project are very important. Because we as users want the best from Gentoo Linux we supply a selection of both generic and specialized sources capable of handling the day-to-day grind to make life a little easier.
In order to provide a rich choice of high-quality kernel trees, Gentoo Linux must apply, write and test several kernel patches to the official upstream releases before they can offer finished ebuilds to the users. This is where the Gentoo Kernel project comes into play. By maintaining quality control, clearly defined roadmaps, highly skilled developers and a standard base across all of our kernels the project will help bring the end-user experience of our kernels to even higher levels.
== Information on Vulnerabilities ==
* [[Project:Security/Vulnerabilities/Meltdown_and_Spectre | Meltdown and Spectre]]
== Subprojects ==
The kernel project has the following subprojects:
* gentoo-sources
** Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the 3.4.x to 4.x kernel tree. [4.0]
** '''Lead:''' [[User:mpagano|Mike Pagano]], [[User:aliceinwire|Alice Ferrazzi]]
*mips-sources
** Gentoo Kernel based from the 2.4 branch supporting MIPS processors. [2.4/2.6]
** '''Lead:''' The '''MIPS''' project, see the [[Project:MIPS|MIPS project]] for a list of members.
== Kernel related Gentoo Subprojects ==
* Automatically check new kernel
** [[Project:Kernel/Kernel CI | Kernel CI]]
* Automatically configure the kernel settings
** [https://github.com/Calchan/kernelconfig kernelconfig]
* Automatically install the kernel
** [[Genkernel]]
* Automatically clean old not used kernel
** [https://github.com/mgorny/eclean-kernel2 eclean-kernel2]
* Automatically build and install live patch
** [[Elivepatch]]
== Other Kernels ==
The Gentoo Kernel project maintains the following list of kernels currently in portage. Additional kernels in portage that are not listed below are not maintained under the kernel project.
* '''ck-sources''': Con Kolivas' kernel sources.
* '''git-sources''': Git sources, the absolute latest kernel available.
* '''hardened-sources''': Sources based upon genpatches-base along with the grsecurity patch which includes Pax.
* '''tuxonice-sources''': TuxOnIce (formerly Suspend2) sources and the Gentoo patchset.
* '''usermode-sources''': Full sources for the User Mode Linux kernel.
* '''vanilla-sources''': Full prepatched/rc sources for the Linux kernel.
* '''xbox-sources''': Full sources for the Xbox Linux kernel.
* '''pf-sources''': Linux kernel fork with new features, including the -ck patchset (BFS), BFQ, TuxOnIce and UKSM.
== Genpatches ==
Many kernels in Gentoo include part or all of the genpatches patchset. genpatches is focused on being a minimal patchset mostly focused on bugfixes, with minimal deviation from the upstream Linux kernel.
The genpatches homepage can be found at https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches.
== Maintainers guide ==
In order to encourage new contributors, we have documented the procedures used when maintaining gentoo-sources.

== Kernel stabilization ==
The following policy is in place for kernel stabilization that can be performed by members of the kernel team without opening a stabilization bug. For this to occur, the following procedures must be followed:
'''For new kernel major point releases (e.g. 4.12.0)'''
* A stable request bug is opened and arch teams stabilize as per existing policy. No auto stabilizing occurs here as only the arch teams can really determine if the kernel is working on their own arch.
'''For subsequent security related releases of a kernel point release (eg. 4.12.1. 4.12.2)'''
* If the kernel team determines a significant security fix is included for a kernel release of 4.X.Y where 4.X.(Y-1) has already been stabilized per the first bullet, the kernel team can auto stabilize that specific version.
* Dependent upon the severity of the security bug, (root exploit, minor module) the kernel team will remove stable keywords from earlier versions of the same 4.X.Y series within a reasonable time frame.

<p>Many kernels in Gentoo include part or all of the genpatches patchset. genpatches is focused on being a minimal patchset mostly focused on bugfixes, with minimal deviation from the upstream Linux kernel.

<p>The following policy is in place for kernel stabilization that can be performed by members of the kernel team without opening a stabilization bug. For this to occur, the following procedures must be followed:
</p><p><b>For new kernel major point releases (e.g. 4.12.0)</b>
</p>
<ul><li> A stable request bug is opened and arch teams stabilize as per existing policy. No auto stabilizing occurs here as only the arch teams can really determine if the kernel is working on their own arch.</li></ul>
<p><b>For subsequent security related releases of a kernel point release (eg. 4.12.1. 4.12.2)</b>
</p>
<ul><li> If the kernel team determines a significant security fix is included for a kernel release of 4.X.Y where 4.X.(Y-1) has already been stabilized per the first bullet, the kernel team can auto stabilize that specific version.</li>
<li> Dependent upon the severity of the security bug, (root exploit, minor module) the kernel team will remove stable keywords from earlier versions of the same 4.X.Y series within a reasonable time frame.</li></ul>
