What are Linux kernel fuzzing tools?

Tools that bombard kernel code with random, malformed inputs to crash it deliberately — revealing bugs before they hit production.

Is Greg KH's Clanker an AI fuzzer?

Likely — the T1000 nod and his LLM tinkering suggest smarts beyond dumb randos, assisting in bug discovery across subsystems.

Will fuzzing make Linux kernels bug-free?

Not fully — but it'll slash crashes by orders, making your systems as reliable as a Swiss watch.
