This patch introduces a `.gitlab-ci` file along with a `ci/` folder, defininga basic test pipeline triggered by code pushes to a GitLab-CI instance. This initial version includes static checks (checkpatch and smatch for now) and build tests across various architectures and configurations. It leverages an integrated cache for efficient build times and introduces a flexible 'scenarios' mechanism for subsystem-specific extensions.

Hey all,
You can check the validation of this patchset on: https://gitlab.collabora.com/koike/linux/-/pipelines/87035
I would appreciate your feedback on this work, what do you think?
If you would rate from 0 to 5, where:
[ ] 0. I don't think this is useful at all, and I doubt it will ever be. It doesn't seem worthwhile. [ ] 1. I don't find it useful in its current form. [ ] 2. It might be useful to others, but not for me. [ ] 3. It has potential, but it's not yet something I can incorporate into my workflow. [ ] 4. This is useful, but it needs some adjustments before I can include it in my workflow. [ ] 5. This is really useful! I'm eager to start using it right away. Why didn't you send this earlier? :)
Which rating would you select?
4.5 :)
One thing I'm wondering here is how we're going to cope with the different requirements each user / framework has.
Like, Linus probably want to have a different set of CI before merging a PR than (say) linux-next does, or stable, or before doing an actual release.
Similarly, DRM probably has a different set of requirements than drm-misc, drm-amd or nouveau.
I don't see how the current architecture could accomodate for that. I know that Gitlab allows to store issues template in a separate repo, maybe we could ask them to provide a feature where the actions would be separate from the main repo? That way, any gitlab project could provide its own set of tests, without conflicting with each others (and we could still share them if we wanted to)
I know some of use had good relationship with Gitlab, so maybe it would be worth asking?
