Good news everyone,
the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *May 2021* has been
released.
Since the last release 364 patches by 50 authors were merged.
NOTABLE CHANGES
===============
* New tests
- fanotify17 - tests for fanotify() user limits
- fanotify18 - tests for validating user permissions
- fanotify19 - tests for unpriviledged events
- brk02 - test that removes two VMAs on shrink
- close_range{01,02} - basic close_range() tests
- rtc02 - /dev/rtc timer tests
* New regression tests
- bpf_prog05 truncation on 32bit div/mod by zero aka CVE-2021-3444
- writev03 regression test for d4690f1e1cda 'fix iov_iter_fault_in_readable()'
- io_uring02 regression test for unsafe handling of the root directory aka CVE-2020-29373
* Increased coverage
- tmpfs was added for tests that loop over filesystems supported by the SUT
- fanotify05 added more queue overflow tests and test for unlimited queue
* 52 tests were rewritten to the new library
- with that we reached important milestone where new library testcases
outnumber the old library tests for the first time ever
- Converted tests:
- chdir01
- chmod05
- chown01, chown02, chown03
- close01, close02
- get_mempolicy01
- getgid01, getgid03
- getpid01, getpid02
- getppid01, getppid02
- io_cancel01, io_getevents01
- mallopt01
- mmap19
- netns_netlink
- pec
- pidns13
- reboot01, reboot02
- sched_getparam01, sched_getparam02, sched_getparam03
- semctl01, semctl02, semctl03, semctl04, semctl05, semctl07
- sendfile03, sendfile04, sendfile05, sendfile07
- setgid01, setgid02, setgid03
- swapoff01, swapoff02, swapoff03
- swapon01, swapon02, swapon03
- time01
- times01
- tkill01, tkill02
- unlinkat01
- unshare01, unshare02
- wait01, wait02
+ CAN tests were cleaned up and converted to the new library
* Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA)
- new SELinux measurement tests
+ fixes
* Added new library for managing network interfaces over netlink
* Added new library for cgroup discovery and management
- this is a big leap forward for cgroup testing
- greatly simplifies testscases as the library gracefully handles v1/v2
split configurations that are unfortunatelly still common on recent systems
- first few tests were converted to use the library
- more tests are in the queue
* Fixed timeouts in shell test library
- ensure that all child processes are killed on timeout as well
- runs a cleanup after timeout
* The fuzzy sync library was fixed to yield() on single CPU systems
- which fixed test timeouts on single CPU systems
- self tests for the library where implemented where we check that races we
crafted into the code are triggered correctly by the library even on single
CPU systems
* Fixed kernel module detection on BusyBox
* Open Posix Testsuite now use $TMPDIR instead of previously hardcoded /tmp
* LTP should now produce reproducible build after a few fixes to the buildsystem and libs
* The documentation generated from the test sources was improved, you can check
out the generated documentation pages for this release at:
http://linux-test-project.github.io/metadata/metadata.asciidoctor.html
Also have a look at a few nice test documentation examples:

http://linux-test-project.github.io/metadata/metadata.asciidoctor.html#bpf_prog05
http://linux-test-project.github.io/metadata/metadata.asciidoctor.html#semctl09
* We also wrote down a document about the oldest supported kernel and libc, see:

+ The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
