The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/. Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/, http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and, IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp. JULY 2008 Highlights: * Addition of io_destroy(), io_getevents(), io_setup() & io_submit() tests, * Addition of IO-throttle Controllers test, paving the way for launching of ltp-mm tree, * GCOV Patches for Kernel 2.6.26, * Update to OpenHPI 2.12.0, * Addition of move_pages() tests, * SELinux tests fix, * Memory tests fix, * Filecaps tests fix, * LTP-AIO fix, * Hackbench compilation fix, * Realtime tests fix, etc, JULY 2008 LTP Contributors: * Junjiro Okajima, * Craig Meier, * Stephen Smalley, * Masatake YAMATO, * Peter Oberparleiter, * Ramon de Carvalho Valle, * Matt Fleming, * Serge Hallyn, * Andrea Righi, * Shi Weihua, * Edjunior Barbosa Machado, * Gilles Carry, * Vijay Kumar B, * Veerendra Chandrappa, Note(s) from the Maintainer: I participated in OLS 2008. I was exited to meet lot of people from the community and know their personal opinion about LTP. I patiently heard improvements to be done in LTP and the course of actions we need to take. I will shortly start those discussions on the mailing lists. I was happy to hear that people were happy that the project is active and kicking. The immediate challenge before us is to increase that pace and make it more effective, which i hope we will be able to achieve over a period of time. Our web site also contains other information such as: - A Linux test tools matrix - Technical papers - How To's on Linux testing - Code coverage analysis tool. We would encourage the community to post results to ltp-results@lists.sf.net, patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@lists.sf.net, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382 (for New Bug(s)), http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=303382 (for New Patch(s)), http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=353382 (for New Feature Request(s)) Please also see the Change Log Attached (JULY 2008) for detailed changes.

The testscripts/test_selinux.sh script does not detect if refpolicy should be used or not. The LTP selinux-testsuite test policy uses the can_setcon macro which is not defined in global macros of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 selinux policy targeted sources.

Most of them simply add command-line options to specify the amount of memory/pages to use for tests. However, there's one fix that works around a bug in uClibc's pthread implementation. Allow the amount of memory to be used to be passed as a command-line argument. Matt Fleming . Modified File(s): ltp/testcases/kernel/mem/mem/mem02.c 8) Log Message: I've attached some patches that I created for LTP at work. Most of them simply add command-line options to specify the amount of memory/pages to use for tests. However, there's one fix that works around a bug in uClibc's pthread implementation. It can be unsafe to call exit(3) from a signal handler. Call _exit(2) instead. Matt Fleming . Modified File(s): ltp/testcases/kernel/mem/mtest06/mmap1.c 9) Log Message: I've attached some patches that I created for LTP at work. Most of them simply add command-line options to specify the amount of memory/pages to use for tests. However, there's one fix that works around a bug in uClibc's pthread implementation. Allow the number of pages to use for the test to be specified on the command-line. Fix a memory leak. Also, call _exit(2) from child processes which avoids the child calling the atexit functions that the pthread library setup. This fixes an issue where the pthread manager thread would begin exiting at the same time as a child thread. The child thread would run the atexit functions which cause it to wait for a signal to be sent from the thread manager. As the thread manager was trying to exit that signal would never be sent. Calling _exit(2) from the child avoids this whole mess. Matt Fleming .

We should handle this opportunely trying to re-submit the AIO request again. Maybe an even better approach could be to just sleep a bit before trying to re-submit the request. In any case this would resolve a never-ending loop in aio01.c, where io_getevents() can be continuously called without having issued any actual request if io_submit() failed with -EAGAIN.

Signed-off-by: Edjunior Barbosa Machado . Modified File(s): ltp/testcases/network/generate.sh 28) Log Message: When compiling powerpc binaries, gcc defaults to 32 bit. To do some tests I needed to have a 64 bit binary. Since I'm using realtime, I modified config.mk as below. My questions: is there any official way to turn LTP in 64bit? If not, what shall we do then? Should LTP default to 32 or native-arch bit? Shall we use something like: "if (uname -m) ..." or use a command line option? Any comment? Gilles. According to man gcc: -m64 Generate code for a 32-bit or 64-bit environment. The 32-bit environment sets int, long and pointer to 32 bits and generates code that runs on any i386 system. The 64-bit environment sets int to 32 bits and long and pointer to 64 bits and generates code for AMD's x86-64 architecture. For darwin only the -m64 option turns off the -fno-pic and -mdynamic-no-pic options. This seems like the right thing to do to me. Gilles, have you confirmed that this doesn't break things on the x86_64 platforms? No objection from me. --Darren I've also run the involved tests on an x86_64 machine and it was OK. Gilles Carry . Modified File(s): ltp/testcases/realtime/config.mk 29) Log Message: First patch regroups TSC functions and macros definition into librttest. Second patch is to have an atomic reading of the 64-bit timebase register of powerpc64. This new function is only valid if -m64 is used when compiling the whole testcase suite with a powerpc64. Thirs patch is a fix to avoid spurious tsc_minus warning. These patches been tested on a ppc64 machine either with 32 or 64 bit binaries. (-m64).

Reading the 64-bit register using two 32-bit instructions sometimes causes wrapping when a clock update appears in between. A single 64-bit read fixes this. Signed-off-by: Gilles Carry . Cc: Tim Chavez . I suppose the right thing to do in the long run would be to rename this function to something more generic: read_hw_clock() or something like that.
