NOTABLE CHANGES

  • New tests

    • mlock05 Test for pre-faulting locked memory
    • kvm_svm04 Functional test for VMSAVE/VMLOAD instructions
    • arch_prctl01 Test for ARCH_SET_CPUID and ARCH_GET_CPUID
    • kallsyms A test to check that it's impossible to read kernel memory from userspace
    • unlink09 Negative tests for unlink()
    • getrandom05 Negative tests for getrandom()
    • gethostname02 Negative tests for gethostname()
    • splice08 Test for splicing from /dev/zero and /dev/full
    • splice09 Test for splicing to /dev/zero and /dev/null
    • shmat04 A regression test for fc0c8f9089c2
      ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close")
    • aslr01 Tests that hugepages, that cause addesses to be aligned to higher
      order of 2, are not used for libraries when ASLR is enabled.

  • Increased coverage

    • getsockname01 More negative testcases
    • getsockopt01 More negative testcases
    • bind01 More negative testcases
    • swapon01 Runs on all supported filesystems now
    • waitpid01 Tests all deadly signals now
    • fanotify01 Tests setting two marks on different filesystems

  • Rewritten tests

    • msgstress testcases were rewritten into a single msgstress01 test
      this should finally fix the test to scale well from small embedded boards
      towards big servers

    • symlink01 has been split into several testcases, previously several different
      testcases were build from the source based on different messy ifdefs

  • UCLINUX support was completely removed from LTP

    It was unmaintained and partially broken and nobody stepped up to maintain
    the support.

  • Small runtest files cleanup

    • runtest/io was merged into ltp-aiodio.part4
    • runtest/cap_bounds and runtest/filecaps were merged into single runtest file

  • 32 testcases were converted to the new test library

  • The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

  • New tests

    • nfs09 Regression test for file truncation on NFS.

  • Increased coverage

    • nfsstat01.sh: Add support for NFSv4*

  • Removed tests

    • clockdiff01.sh Testing clockdiff is not relevant nowadays.
    • telnet01.sh Testing telnet not make sense nowadays, remove it.
    • xinetd_tests.sh Testing xinetd is not relevant nowadays.
    • host01.sh The test does not work in all cases since testing host require
      proper DNS setup or internet connection. Rather than fixing this
      it makes sense to remove the test.
