| # 🐧 Linux Kernel Bugfixes & Patches Dataset (Instruction-Tuned) |
|
|
| ## 📖 Dataset Description |
|
|
| This dataset is a highly curated, instruction-tuned collection of **problem-solution pairs** extracted directly from the official Linux Kernel Git repository (`torvalds/linux`). It is specifically designed to train Large Language Models (LLMs) on **low-level C programming, kernel architecture, memory management, and security vulnerability patching**. |
|
|
| Unlike raw commit histories, this dataset has been strictly filtered to include only meaningful bug fixes and excludes noisy data such as typos, documentation updates, and version bumps. |
|
|
| - **Language:** English (Commit messages), C / Assembly (Code) |
| - **License:** GPL-2.0 (Inherited from Linux Kernel) |
| - **Format:** Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) ready (Instruction / Input / Output) |
|
|
| ## 🚀 Intended Uses & Applications |
|
|
| This dataset is perfect for training AI Agents and local LLMs for: |
| 1. **Low-Level Code Repair:** Teaching models to fix memory leaks, use-after-free errors, null pointer dereferences, and race conditions. |
| 2. **Patch Generation:** Generating valid `git diff` outputs based on issue descriptions. |
| 3. **Cybersecurity Analysis:** Fine-tuning models to recognize and patch CVEs and kernel panics. |
|
|
| ## 📊 Dataset Structure |
|
|
| Each row in the dataset represents a single bug-fix commit. The data is formatted for immediate use in SFT pipelines (like Unsloth, QLoRA, Axolotl). |
|
|
| **Example Instance:** |
| ```json |
| { |
| "id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...", |
| "instruction": "Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: net: sched: fix memory leak in tc_action", |
| "input": "Problem Details:\nWhen a filter action fails to initialize, the memory allocated for option parameters is not properly freed, resulting in a memory leak under high load.", |
| "output": "```diff\n--- a/net/sched/act_api.c\n+++ b/net/sched/act_api.c\n@@ -120,6 +120,7 @@ static int tcf_action_init(struct net *net...\n+ kfree(opt);\n```" |
