Full name
Bruno de Oliveira Magalhães
Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, expressed discontent with the hdrtest component in the pre-release of Linux 6.15. The hdrtest, designed to check kernel code headers, automatically activates the allmodconfig setting, used for comprehensive testing. According to Torvalds, this makes the build time-consuming and produces unwanted files. He harshly criticized the intrusive execution of hdrtest and marked it as "BROKEN," disabling it until fixes are made. His decision may expedite the overhaul or removal of hdrtest, reflecting the ongoing pursuit of optimizations in Linux. Although incisive, Torvalds aims to keep Linux efficient, and it is up to those responsible for hdrtest to correct the issues and ensure the desired functionality without compromising the developers' build experience.
