NOTABLE CHANGES

• New tests

  • file_attr05 Check for EOPNOTSUPP when filesystem does not support FSX operations.
    Regression test for 474b155adf392 ("fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP")
  • userfaultfd05 Test for UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
  • userfaultfd04 Test for UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE
  • userfaultfd03 Test for /dev/userfaultfd
  • userfaultfd02 Test for UFFDIO_MOVE
  • userfaultfd01 Test for UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY
  • clone10 Test for CLONE_SETTLS
  • clone11, clone304 Tests for more EPERM conditions
  • name_to_handle_at03 Tests for AT_HANDLE_FID

• Increased coverage

  • fanotify24 Added a regression test for 28bba2c2935e2 ("fsnotify: Pass correct offset to fsnotify_mmap_perm()")

• Rewritten and updated tests

  • lio_listio_2-1, aio_cancel_5-1 Were rewritten to actually block while writing and not relying on a chance.

  • Tests that compile and load kernel modules now properly skip the test when kernel is Lockdown/Secure boot.

  • swapon03 Now does not try to calculate the exact maximal number of swap files based on kernel config.

  • readahead02: Was fixed to wait for the readahead to happen and also updated
    to use mincore() instead of system wide I/O counters.

  • ima_conditionals.sh Was split into four tests so that subset of the tests
    is not skipped without CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY=y.

• New shell tst_runas.c helper

  We are replacing the use of sudo with simpler tst_runas.c helper that changes
  UID and GID before executing a command. This makes tests less likely to fail
  because of system restrictions on sudo (such as setting /usr/sbin/nologin as
  a login shell).

• Openposix tests had to be updated with new invalid clock IDs

  Since the addition of CONFIG_POSIX_AUX_CLOCK the clock id 17 was not invalid anymore.

• New shell library now supports setting runtime

• New documentation:

  • https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/ground_rules.html
  • https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/api_c_tests.html#process-state
  • https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/api_c_tests.html#saving-and-restoring-proc-sys-values

• Kirk was updated to v3.2.1

• The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
