    • fanotify19 - tests for unpriviledged events
    • brk02 - test that removes two VMAs on shrink
    • close_range{01,02} - basic close_range() tests

    • 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

      • 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

  • The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
