Kernel .config parser was rewritten to support proper boolean expressions
-
LTP now requires pkg-config > 0.23 (working version 0.24 was released in 2010)
-
Error handling in test library (mostly SAFE_MACROS()) was unified
-
High level test library overview was written:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/lib/README.md -
IMA/EVM
- fixed ima_tpm.sh for TPM 2.0 and for TPM 1.2 on kernel >= v5.8 (commit 6f1a1d103b48)
- rewrote ima_boot_aggregate.c to new API

METADATA EXTRACTION & TEST CATALOGUE
There is an ongoing experiment that attempts to extract metadata from the
testcases, we also have a proof of concept web page that renders the json
metadata into a browseable test documentation. There is not much there yet,
but we are hoping, among other things, to build a nice, searchable and
browseable test catalogue based on these efforts.

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS
brought to you by Petr Vorel
-
New testcases
- ipsec: test also randomized message length
- features: new checksum testcases
- virt: add mode l3s in ipvlan test
- netstress: support SO_REUSEPORT, MSG_ZEROCOPY
-
Various tests converted into new API
- (arping01, broken_ip, clockdiff01, ip_tests.sh, ping0{1|0}, tracepath, traceroute)
-
Various small fixes and enhancements, most notable ones:
- dhcp: correct prefix for expected IPv6 address)
- lower down packet size to minimum, which still be high enough to require
fragmentation. This is critical for performance tests, which compare
virtual devices with the real ones. - netstress: various fixes to avoid false-positives
- dhcp: AppArmor and SELinux fixes, fix paths for non-RHEL distros

all race conditions and random failures
- second rewrite and simplification of the fuzzy sync library
TODO LIST AND ISSUE TRACKER
As noted in the previous release we started to maintain a LTP TODO list in the
form GitHub issues, as expected the list is growing:
But more importantly we are starting to implement testcases based on that list,
recently we added the fsetxattr, fgetxattr, mlock2, prctl, and statx tests and
more is about to come in the near future.
We do have also list of reproducers to be turned into testcases:
Lastly but not least I would like to ask everyone to contribute to these lists.
If you have a reproducer or notice missing coverage do not hesitate to open an
issue.

- 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
