Usage

import pandas as pd

# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/username/repo-name/migrations.parquet")

# Display first few rows
print(df.head())

# Filter by migration type
function_changes = df[df['type'] == 'function_signature_change']
print(f"Function signature changes: {len(function_changes)}")

Data Collection

This dataset was generated using the kernel-migrate tool, which:

1. Fetches commits between specified kernel version tags
2. Parses C source and header files using tree-sitter
3. Detects API changes including function signature modifications and struct layout changes
4. Extracts metadata about each migration
