Phoronix reports on Google engineer Roman Gushchin’s status update at the Linux Plumbers Conference on Sashiko, the Google-built agentic code review system for the Linux kernel. In less than a year the open source tool, which works with Google’s Gemini and other LLMs, has completed more than 191,000 patch reviews across 99 mailing lists, performed over 19 million autonomous git lookups, and drawn more than 7,600 replies from over 1,100 kernel developers. More than 1,277 upstream kernel commits this year cite Sashiko, along with 1,567 in linux-next, and 463 CVEs so far this year reference it. Google engineers are now working on a local terminal review mode, a persistent bug database, and self-review for Sashiko.
