-
Increased coverage
- fanotify13 added test variant for overalfs upper fs
- mmap05 increased coverage for EINVAL
- mmap06 increased coverage for EACCES
- bind03 now includes regression test for
c0c3b8d380a8 ("unix_bind_bsd(): unlink if we fail after successful mknod") - stack_clash added test for mmap() minding gap
-
ebizzy benchmark counter increment races and overflows were fixed
-
A few more testcases were converted to guarded buffers
that is data passed by pointer to kernel are immediatelly
following a PROT_NONE page and followed by canaries
to catch off-by-one errors -
Tests that modprobe kernel modules are now skipped when secure boot is
enabled on x86 and ppc64le -
ioprio tests now use IOPRIO_PRIO_NUM instead of hardcoded value
to check for prio range -
35 testcases were converted to the new test library
- we finally got rid of the old and messy libclone library
- The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)
-
The new runltp-ng version is now called kirk
- The name was changed since kirk now supports different testsuites as well
- Apart from the name changes the internals were rewritten and cleaned up
- Prototype for parallel testruns is included as well
- https://github.com/linux-test-project/kirk/#readme
-
There is now experimental LTX support implemented
- Beware this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL at the moment
- LTX is tiny binary that runs on system under test
- LTX communicates with kirk over serial using messages packed in msgpack
- LTX is going to be locked in memory and executed with realtime priority
- LTX allows advanced features such as running tests in parallel
- https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltx
REMOVED TESTS
- mmap07 (included in mmap06)
- setgroups04 (included in setgroups03)
