Linux Kernel Assembly → Explanation Dataset

A dataset of disassembled Linux kernel functions paired with structured natural-language explanations, built from the Linux Commits Dataset (Zenodo 10654193).

Each row corresponds to a single compiled function extracted from a .c or .h file touched by a Bug-Fix Commit (BFC) or Bug-Introducing Commit (BIC) in the Linux kernel git history. Source files are compiled with gcc -O2 -g -fno-inline -fno-omit-frame-pointer and disassembled with objdump -d -S (AT&T syntax, source-interleaved).

Intended for training or evaluating models on assembly code understanding, specifically, generating natural language explanations from disassembled Linux kernel functions.

Schema

Column Type Description
bfc_hash string Hash of the bug-fix commit in the pair
bic_hash string Hash of the bug-introducing commit in the pair
commit_hash string The specific commit this function was extracted from
commit_type string "bfc" (bug-fix commit) or "bic" (bug-introducing commit)
filename string Source file path within the kernel tree (e.g. kernel/sched/core.c)
func_name string Name of the disassembled function
asm string objdump -d -S output for one function (AT&T syntax, source lines interleaved)
explanation string Structured description: commit type, function name, author, date, commit message, and role
commit_message string First 512 characters of the commit message

Usage 

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("theelderemo/linux-asm-pairs", split="train")
print(ds["asm"])
print(ds["explanation"])

Filter to only bug-fix commits:

bfc_only = ds.filter(lambda x: x["commit_type"] == "bfc")

Data Pipeline

  1. BFC/BIC pairs sourced from bfc_bic.csv in Zenodo record 10654193
  2. Full diffs fetched from a local bare clone of the Linux kernel git repo (snapshot: 2023-11-12)
  3. Changed .c / .h files compiled with gcc -O2 -g -fno-inline -fno-omit-frame-pointer
  4. Functions extracted via objdump -d -S --no-show-raw-insn
  5. Explanations constructed from Perceval-parsed commit metadata
