PTracer continuously monitors new patches in the git repository of the mainline Linux kernel, filters out unconcerned ones, classifies the rest as bug-fixing or non bug-fixing patches, and reports bug-fixing patches to the kernel experts of commercial operating systems. We use the patches in February 2019 of the mainline Linux kernel to perform the test. As a result, PTracer recommended 151 patches to CGEL kernel experts out of 5,142, and 102 of which were accepted. PTracer has been successfully applied to a commercial operating system and has the advantages of improving software quality and saving labor cost.
