While the source code for Oracle's "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" (UEK) kernel is already available through the company's own servers, the group is now releasing it to GitHub to boost the popularity of its Linux patch.
Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel will continue to focus on performance and stability, while also working with the RHEL-derived Oracle Linux distribution, and they now hope that publishing their source code changes to GitHub will increase UEK's exposure and thus users .
Projects include the legacy UEK2 kernel based on Linux 3.0, and the latest UEK4 kernel from the Linux 4.14 LTS source. The code has been hosted in the GitHub repository. It should be noted that although the source code is hosted in the repository, the master branch of the repository only stores the project documentation. You need to switch to branch/UEK-version to view the real source code.
Oracle announced the news on its blog and said that since 2007, Oracle has contributed more than 400,000 lines of code to the Linux kernel.
