Konstantin Ryabitsev [1]introduces the "b4" tool for kernel development . Developers and LWN readers will be familiar with b4 under its previous name: [2]get-lore-mbox . " On top of that, b4 also introduces support for cryptographic patch attestation, which makes it possible to verify that patches (and their metadata) weren't modified in transit between developers. This is still an experimental feature, but initial tests have been pretty encouraging. " See [3]this article for early coverage of the attestation feature.
