17.2.2. Update the Linux kernel
During update all you kernel modules may break since the kernel API is not stable.
They are usually trivial breaks of things moving around headers or to sub-structs.
The userland, however, should simply not break, as Linus enforces strict backwards compatibility of userland interfaces.
This backwards compatibility is just awesome, it makes getting and running the latest master painless.
This also makes this repo the perfect setup to develop the Linux kernel.
In case something breaks while updating the Linux kernel, you can try to bisect it to understand the root cause, see: Section 38.17, “Bisection”.
