Since the last release 236 patches by 28 authors were merged. Notable changes are: o New testcases - tracepath, clockdiff, arpping, ping, wc, insmod - ftrace - access() - fallocate() FALLOC_FL_INSTERT_RANGE - kcmp() - lgetxattr() - sched_setscheduler() - epoll_ctl() - sbrk() regression test - dio_sparse added direct I/O regression test (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/622065/) o Rewritten/cleaned up tests - waitpid syscall testcases - NFS tests - ftrace tests o More work on memory cgroup testcases - a lot of cleanups, big tests were split into smaller ones - implemented proper synchronization primitives between processes which saves a few minutes on the test execution time o More work on the new test API - test is executed in child processes, parent process watches for timeout, does cleanup, reports results, etc. - Ctrl+C kills all subprocesses correctly and the parent process runs cleanup - new command line option parsing helpers - 25 testcases were cleaned up and rewritten to use the new test API o New EXPECT_PASS and EXPECT_FAIL helpers in shell library o New shell wrappers for checkpoint (futex based) synchronization primitives o New tst_su wrapper (that makes sure that path to LTP binaries is in $PATH) o Open Posix Testsuite changes - parallel build has been fixed - the build process now uses the top level configure parameters (CC, CFLAGS, LDLIBS, LDFLAGS) + The usuall amount of cleanups, fixes, and speedups. 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/20160920 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 (continuously updated) developer documentation at: 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-list@lists.linux.it -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
