Since the last release 278 patches by 35 authors were merged. Notable changes for this release include: ----------------------------------------- * New tests for: - unshare(1) command - ioctl07 test for RNDGETENTCNT ioctl() - new network MACsec testcases - new network IPsec SCTP and DCCP testcases * New regression tests for: - CVE-2017-5754 aka meltdown - CVE-2017-12193 (test add_key04) - CVE-2017-15299 and CVE-2017-15951 (test request_key03) - CVE-2017-7308 (test setsockopt02) - CVE-2016-9604 (test keyctl08) - CVE-2017-15537 (test ptrace07) - CVE-2017-12192 (test keyctl07) - add_key03 regression test for kernel commit 237bbd29f7a0 - keyctl06 regression test for kernel commit e645016abc80 * Fixed tests: - brk01 (test rewritten from scratch) - sigwaitinfo01 (fixed and enabled) - openposix aio testcases (uninitialized aiocb) + many smaller fixes * Removed tests: - invalid openposix pthread_barrier_wait_6-1 test - tcp_cmds tests for rwho, echo, finger, and rdist. * The test library gained support to run a particular test against different filesystems including FUSE filesystems such as NTFS or exFAT. The mkfs and kernel/FUSE support for a particular filesystem must be in-place otherwise the tests will skip it automatically. Some of the filesystem specific syscall tests such as fallocate() are executed this way now. We also have a new test that fills up filesystem using several threads and expects the syscalls to fail gracefully. * The fuzzy synchronization library that is used to trigger races mostly in CVE testcases was rewritten to use one thread instead of starting a thread on each iteration, which is not only faster but also more stable since we introduce less random jitter to the timing measurements this way. * Various fixes and enhancements for the network testcases. * Support for NUMA API older than v2 was dropped from the testcases. * The configure script now correctly detects devel libraries on -m32 build. * Another large scale cleanup using coccinelle was done on the code base. We transformed patterns such as: if (scall(...) < 0) tst_brkm(TBROK, ...); into: SAFE_SCALL(); Which will produce unified and more verbose error reporting in case that the call to scall() will fail. * The runltp script now lists test skipped by the skipfile parameter as skipped in the testrun results, these were missing from it previously. * 24 testcases were cleaned up and converted to the new test library + The usual amount of fixes all over the code base Downloads and links: -------------------- The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux and can be downloaded at: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/releases/tag/20180118 The project pages as well as GIT repository are hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp http://linux-test-project.github.io/ If you ever wondered how to write a LTP testcase, don't miss our developer documentation at: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/C-Test-Case-Tutorial https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/BuildSystem Patches, new tests, bugs, comments or questions should go to to our mailing list at ltp@lists.linux.it. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Cyril Hrubis Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 15:53:35 +0100 Subject: [LTP] [ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been released for JANUARY 2018 Message-ID: <20180118145335.GA20730@rei> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ltp@lists.linux.it Good news everyone, the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *January 2018* has been released.
