    • faccessat202 checks that the syscall fails correctly
    • tcindex01 aka CVE-2023-1829
    • mremap06 reproducer for 7e7757876f25 ("mm/mremap: fix vm_pgoff in vma_merge() case 3")
    • starvation a simple test case for sched starvation https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/9fd2c37a05713c206dcbd5866f67ce779f315e9e.camel@gmx.de/
    • pipe14 for end-of-file (read() returns 0) in a case the write end is closed
    • statx12 basic test for STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT
    • kvm_svm03 KVM test for CPU lockup through malicous SVM guest
    • kvm_svm02 test that KVM correctly intercepts VMSAVE and VMLOAD instructions
      in a nested virtual machine aka CVE-2021-3656
    • statx11 a basic test for STATX_DIOALIGN on block device
    • statx10 a basic test for STATX_DIOALIGN on regular file

  • 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)
