ltp - LTP 20240524 Latest Release

Published by pevik 5 months ago

NOTABLE CHANGES

New tests
- mlock05 Test for pre-faulting locked memory
- kvm_svm04 Functional test for VMSAVE/VMLOAD instructions
- arch_prctl01 Test for ARCH_SET_CPUID and ARCH_GET_CPUID
- kallsyms A test to check that it's impossible to read kernel memory from userspace
- unlink09 Negative tests for unlink()
- getrandom05 Negative tests for getrandom()
- gethostname02 Negative tests for gethostname()
- splice08 Test for splicing from /dev/zero and /dev/full
- splice09 Test for splicing to /dev/zero and /dev/null
- shmat04 A regression test for fc0c8f9089c2
  ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close")
- aslr01 Tests that hugepages, that cause addesses to be aligned to higher
  order of 2, are not used for libraries when ASLR is enabled.
Increased coverage
- getsockname01 More negative testcases
- getsockopt01 More negative testcases
- bind01 More negative testcases
- swapon01 Runs on all supported filesystems now
- waitpid01 Tests all deadly signals now
- fanotify01 Tests setting two marks on different filesystems
Rewritten tests
- msgstress testcases were rewritten into a single msgstress01 test
  this should finally fix the test to scale well from small embedded boards
  towards big servers
- symlink01 has been split into several testcases, previously several different
  testcases were build from the source based on different messy ifdefs
UCLINUX support was completely removed from LTP

It was unmaintained and partially broken and nobody stepped up to maintain
the support.
Small runtest files cleanup
- runtest/io was merged into ltp-aiodio.part4
- runtest/cap_bounds and runtest/filecaps were merged into single runtest file
32 testcases were converted to the new test library

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

New tests
- nfs09 Regression test for file truncation on NFS.
Increased coverage
- nfsstat01.sh: Add support for NFSv4*
Removed tests
- clockdiff01.sh Testing clockdiff is not relevant nowadays.
- telnet01.sh Testing telnet not make sense nowadays, remove it.
- xinetd_tests.sh Testing xinetd is not relevant nowadays.
- host01.sh The test does not work in all cases since testing host require
  proper DNS setup or internet connection. Rather than fixing this
  it makes sense to remove the test.

New documentation

We have finally started working on a comprehensive documentation for LTP and
it's test library, the current state can be seen at:

KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)

The new runltp-ng version is now called kirk
- The name was changed since kirk now supports different testsuites as well
- Apart from the name changes the internals were rewritten and cleaned up
- Prototype for parallel testruns is included as well
- https://github.com/linux-test-project/kirk/#readme
There is now experimental LTX support implemented
- Beware this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL at the moment
- LTX is tiny binary that runs on system under test
- LTX communicates with kirk over serial using messages packed in msgpack
- LTX is going to be locked in memory and executed with realtime priority
- LTX allows advanced features such as running tests in parallel

ltp - LTP 20220121

Published by metan-ucw over 2 years ago

Since the last release 269 patches by 32 authors were merged.

Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

NOTABLE CHANGES

New tests
- quotactl{08,09} tests for quota info hidden in filesystem.
- fanotify22 test for FAN_FS_ERROR events by intentionally corrupting a fs image
- memcontrol02 test for cgroup memory.current and memory.stat
- memcontrol01 test for cgroup subtree_control and memory controller
- write06 test if write() works correctly with O_APPEND fd
- statx08 statx test for the stx_attributes_mask
- fanotify{20,21} tests for FAN_REPORT_PIDFD
- irqbalance01 test that tries to assert that IRQ are spread between CPUs reasonably
- dup207 tests that file offset is correct for both original and dup()ed fds
- dup206 tests special case where oldfd == newfd
- ima_conditionals.sh test uid, gid, fowner, and fgroup options added
  in kernel commit 40224c41661b ("ima: add gid support") from v5.16
Increased coverage
- quotactl* tests added support for quotactl_fd and hidden quota files
- quotaclt* tests also test with vfsv1 format
- statx01 added check for stx_mnt_id
- statx01 added check for nlink
- stat01 added check for nlink
- finit_module02 added ETXTBSY check
- epoll_create added two test variants (libc wrapper and raw syscall)
- creat09 runs on all filesystems now
- dup202 added check that file mode is same after it has been changed on dup()ed fd
The test library process, that watches over timeouts and carries on with the
test cleanup, now adjusts it's own OOM score so that it's more likely that it
outlives the child process that runs the test
First half of the ltp-aiodio testcases was rewritten and cleaned up
- the rewritten tests are free of runtest file hacks that were problematic for years
- the second half should get fixed during the next development cycle
- the rewritten tests so far are:
  - dio_truncate
  - dio_read (previously ltp-diorh)
  - dio_append
  - dio_sparse
  - aiodio_append
39 tests were rewritten to the new library
'make check' improvements
- added check if test.tags is properly NULL terminated
- added check if test global functions and variables are static
- fixed not to report tst_ prefixed static inline functions
The test library gained support for 'known-fail' tag
- to mark kernel bugs that are unfixed for a long time
- this is similar to the existing tags
- the first use of the interface are ustat() tests that are failing on Btrfs
  ever since the introduction of the filesystem
The test library gained support for version check when a tool is required to
be installed on a system, e.g. .needs_cmds = {"mkfs.ext4 >= 1.43.0", NULL} will
skip the test unless the mkfs.ext4 is present and the version is at least 1.43.0
The test library added .supported_archs field to the test_test structure
which can be used to limit the test to a subset of CPU architectures
The test library added .skip_in_compat flag to skip tests in compat (-m32) mode
The shell library gained support boolean expressions on kernel .config
variables
New environment variable KCONFIG_SKIP_CHECK was added that allows users to
skip kernel config checks
New environment variable LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE was added that can be
used to limit tests that run against all filesystem to a single one
The new library testcases now print environment variables in help (-h)
The test metadata are parsed during the build and installed by default now,
which is another step towards making the test executor smarter.

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE

In-flight patchse include:

KVM test infrastructure that would allow us implement KVM regression tests
watchqueue (pipe based kernel notification) testsuite
futex_waitv tests
CGroup testcases and fixes
Test runtime API for the test library that would allow us to controll
testrun runtime explicitly and fix a few tests that run into timeouts
on older/slower hardware

Unfortunately the runltp-ng is still not included in LTP, we will try to work
on it during the next development cycle as well, but we can't promise it will
be rock stable to be included in the next release either.

ltp - LTP 20210927

Published by metan-ucw about 3 years ago

Since the last release 483 patches by 40 authors were merged.

This is a record breaking release by the number of patches as well as by the
amount of newly implemented functionality. Many thanks to all contributors!

And even more thanks to the reviewers!

Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

Increased coverage
- epoll_create02 checks for more EINVAL failures
- epoll_ctl03 checks that the syscall works with all valid flags combinations
- mbind01 more tests for MPOL_LOCAL
- epoll_pwait01 adds test variants for epoll_pwait2()
75 tests were rewritten to the new library
Removed tests
- sched/stress as it was unmaintained and unused for years
- stress_cd and stress_floppy since these scripts were broken and unmaintained for years
- disktest as it was unmaintained and unused for years
The CI was moved from Travis to GitHub actions
'make check' was introduced to the LTP build system
- which is a tool for developers that runs various sanity checks on the source code
- this includes:
  - checkpatch.pl, custom set of sparse rules for C
  - checkbashism.pl for shell
- please make sure you run 'make check' or 'make check-testname' and fix the
  warnings before submitting patches
Subset of our library tests i.e. tests for the test library is now executed
CI in github actions, this is ongoing effort to make sure that the test library
used by the testcases is working as expected
The test library was fixed to print all messages to stderr
Testcases were fixed not to expect certain users and groups to be present on the system
- some tests were expecting bin, daemon and similar groups and users to exist on the system
- now LTP depends only on user 'nobody' and group 'nogroup'
New environment variable LTP_VIRT_OVERRIDE was added
- this is meant as a quick workaround for cases where the test library
  cannot properly detect if system is virtualized or not
- see https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/User-Guidelines
Fixed (again) timeouts in shell test library
- turns out you cannot make timeouts in shell race-free so the timeout logic
  is now implemented in a small C helper binary
Finally after the years we are slowly making tests limits-aware
- cgropup tests and a few others are now aware of pid limits imposed by the system
- next step would be doing rough estimates on the number of processes we can run
  based on the free system memory
There is ongoing effort to fix LTP cgroup tests, this release includes many
small fixes and improvements in the cgroup tests
The aarch64 system call table was fixed not to include 32bit only syscall numbers
The TST_EXP_*() macros were improved and a few bugs were fixed
The test library developer documentation and tutorials were reorganized and improved

The more that the usual amount of fixes and cleanups

WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE

Next release will hopefully include runltp-ng which is new and improved LTP
testrunner. The current runltp script will be maintained alongside with the
new solution for some time but removed after a few releases.

You are more than welcome to try it and make sure that it works for you before
it becomes the official LTP testrunner.

See: https://github.com/metan-ucw/runltp-ng

  - 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#acct02
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:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Supported-kernel,-libc,-toolchain-versions

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.

- second rewrite and simplification of the fuzzy sync library
  and this time the user API is much easier to use
- rewrite of the mempolicy NUMA tests that should finally solve
  all race conditions and random failures

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:

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/labels/missing%20coverage

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:

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/labels/reproducer

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.

New macro for automatic retry with exponential backoff has been added to the
test library, which should replace all the ad-hoc retry loops we do have all
around the codebase.
IMA (Integrity Measurement Architecture) tests
- Were rewritten to use new API, updated, and various bugs has been fixed.
- The most important changes:
  - Avoid running on tmpfs ima_measurements.sh and ima_violations.sh
  - ima_measurements.sh: support new IMA measurement templates, support testing
    most of IMA supported hash algorithms, fix & update iversion check
  - tpm.sh: replace ima_measure with evmctl (external)
  - ima_policy.sh: improve check of policy writability
  - ima_boot_aggregate: fixing event size for modern BIOS
  Many thanks to Mimi Zohar for her review and testing of IMA test cases.
Plus the usual number of fixes and cleanups all over the place

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
