    [$] Monitoring the internal kernel ABI
    As part of the Distribution
    Kernels microconference     at Linux Plumbers Conference 2019, Matthias
    Männich described how the Android project monitors changes to the internal
    kernel ABI. As Android kernels evolve, typically by adding features and
    bug fixes from more recent kernel versions, the project wants to ensure
    that the ABI remains the same so that out-of-tree modules will still
    function. While the talk was somewhat Android-specific, the techniques and
    tools used could be applied to other distributions with similar needs
    (e.g. enterprise distributions).
