https://github.com/google/syzkaller/tree/master/dashboard/config/linux

+ a bunch of configs fragments with explanations why things are

https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/dashboard/config/linux/bits/maintained.yml
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/dashboard/config/linux/bits/base.yml
