QA: Monitor Linux log messages as port of release (candidate) testing

Dear Guenter,


Thank you for testing release candidates and releases [1]. Is your test setup documented somewhere?

If not happening already, could the Linux messages (at least up to log level warning) also be monitored? For example, in Linux 5.14, a new warning snuck in by cefc7ca462 (ACPI: PRM: implement OperationRegion handler for the PlatformRtMechanism subtype) [2], which could have been caught early on, and fixed before the release.

The test summaries would then also notify about possible behavior change.


Kind regards,

Paul
