ColinIanKing/stress-ng V0.17.04 on GitHub

Stress-ng V0.17.04 "pragmatic problem producer" highlights:

Support for Cygwin builds
More system calls exercised in sysbadaddr (cacheflush, xattrs) and better mixed invalid address exercising
Reduced spawning rate in sysbadaddr stressor for improved faster system call coverage
Improved SO_SOCKET SO_* option exercising in sock stressor
Add native radixsort, heapsort and mergesort support if BSD sort functions are not available, these can be faster than the libc variants
sysfs stressor: Exercise /sys/power/disk test resume command
pty stressor: Exercise cfgetispeed and cfgetospeed
Add map_shadow_stack system call to sysinval and syscall stessors
Add Access Control Lists exercising with new acl stessor
Exercise all open mode permutations in open stressor

Notable Bug Fixes:

don't kill entire process group or pid 1 (init) on SIGTERM
sock stressor: fix zerocopy - enable it via setsockopt and use zerocopy flag appropriately
sock stressor: retry send on ENOBUFS
vma stressor: fix non-termination of vma pthreads and child processes
mmap stressor: add mprotect EACCESS error check for NetBSD
metamix stessor: add EBADF on fdatasync on read-only fd
