Rust in the Linux Kernel — Open Research

A community-driven, structured research project on Rust in the Linux kernel: motivation, history, technical integration, toolchains, contribution paths, challenges, and future directions.

Goals

• Produce a clear, citable knowledge base (docs/) about Rust-for-Linux.
• Maintain living roadmap of research tasks (see ROADMAP.md).
• Provide reproducible snippets that show Rust↔C interoperability in kernel context.

Who is this for?

• Kernel & systems developers curious about Rust.
• Researchers compiling references and timelines.
• Contributors wanting a friendly, structured starting point.
