To use Linux in high-integrity regulated environment, such as safety-critical systems, security systems or systems subject to other regulatory norms, it requires to show evidences that Linux has a high software quality. High software quality is roughly assessed by two classes of measurements:
- Observation, Measurement and Assessment of the Software Development Process and Practices
- Verification, Analysis and Assessment of the Software Artefact
The Google Summer of Code Projects are activities that contribute to those two fields of work.

Some background on Enabling Linux in Safety Applications
The SIL2LinuxMP project is an collaborative research project to provide procedures and methods to qualify Linux on a multi-core embedded platform at safety integrity level 2 (SIL2) according to IEC 61508 Ed 2.
Some more information on the SIL2LinuxMP project is available here:

The SIL2LinuxMP project has ended at the end of 2018 and the activities around Linux in safety-critical systems will be continued in a new organisational structure in 2019.
