Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
CodeQL identified a medium severity security issue with the action
definitions not including a permissions block as required by modern
security practices. This change ensures that the majority of the actions
force the token to be read-only and not accidentally write content back
into the repository.
This workflow runs only if there is a change to the kernel_module path.
Consequently, commits that only impact the kernel_module will be ignored
for the standard userspace driver build.
This commit also updates the CodeQL workflow to only run on a scheduled
basis and on pull requests, but not on every push, since this is a
fairly slow script.
Finally, this commit also removes the obsolete kernel module sources,
since they are no longer maintained, and it also provides a hook for
Github actions to pick up and execute the kernel workflow.
This commit adds workflows to handle the continuous integration builds
as well as the CodeQL analysis on each push. This also adds a workflow
to create a release and upload the orig.tar.gz file when pushing a tag.
