      1 Linux Test Project
      2 ------------------
      3 
      4 Linux Test Project is a joint project started by SGI, OSDL and Bull developed
      5 and maintained by IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat, Oracle and others. The
      6 project goal is to deliver tests to the open source community that validate the
      7 reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux.
      8 
      9 The LTP testsuite contains a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel
     10 and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel and system
     11 libraries by bringing test automation to the testing effort. Interested open
     12 source contributors are encouraged to join.
     13 
     14 Project pages are located at: http://linux-test-project.github.io/
     15 
     16 The latest image is always available at:
     17 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/releases
     18 
     19 The discussion about the project happens at ltp mailing list:
     20 http://lists.linux.it/listinfo/ltp
     21 
     22 The git repository is located at GitHub at:
     23 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp
     24 
     25 Warning!
     26 --------
     27 Be careful with these tests!
     28 
     29 Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular
     30 stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems
     31 on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems.
     32 
     33 Developers corner
     34 -----------------
     35 
     36 Before you start you should read following documents:
     37 
     38 * doc/test-writing-guidelines.txt
     39 * doc/build-system-guide.txt
     40 
     41 these two should contain all information needed for modifying or creating LTP
     42 testcases. If something is not covered there don't hesitate to ask on the LTP
     43 mailing list.
     44 
     45 Also note that these documents are available online at:
     46

README.kernel_config

      1 ---------------------------------
      2 Enable CODE COVERAGE for your Kernel:
      3 ---------------------------------
      4 1) Apply kernel-gcov patch(s) against the corresponding Kernel. They are available here:
      5 http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ltp/utils/analysis/gcov-kernel/linux-2.*.*-gcov.patch?view=log,
      6 2) Also enable the following options in your .config file before building the kernel
      7 CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE=y
      8 CONFIG_GCOV_ALL=y
      9 CONFIG_GCOV_PROC=m
     10 CONFIG_GCOV_HAMMER=y
     11 
     12 ---------------------------------
     13 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test Containers/Namespaces
     14 ---------------------------------
     15 CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
     16 CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
     17 CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
     18 CONFIG_USER_NS=y
     19 CONFIG_PID_NS=y
     20 CONFIG_NET_NS=y
     21 CONFIG_VETH=y
     22 CONFIG_MACVLAN=y
     23 
     24 The IPC namespaces do not automatically enable IPC, so you may
     25 also want to have:
     26 
     27 CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
     28 CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y
     29 CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y
     30 
     31 ---------------------------------
     32 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test Controllers
     33 ---------------------------------
     34 CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
     35 CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG=y
     36 CONFIG_CGROUP_NS=y
     37 CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED=y
     38 CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
     39 CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
     40 CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
     41 CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
     42 CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
     43 ---------------------------------
     44 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test Power Management features
     45 ---------------------------------
     46 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
     47 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
     48 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG=y
     49 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
     50 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y
     51 CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
     52 CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y
     53 CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y
     54 CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y
     55 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
     56 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
     57 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y
     58 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND=y

     62 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
     63 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
     64 CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y
     65 ---------------------------------
     66 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test filecaps security feature
     67 ---------------------------------
     68 CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y
     69 ---------------------------------
     70 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test SELinux security feature
     71 ---------------------------------
     72 Your Kernel should have been built with the following options to
     73 test SELinux:
     74 
     75 CONFIG_SECURITY=y
     76 CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
     77 CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM=y
     78 
     79 CONFIG_SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR=0
     80 This has to be set to a positive value if you want to test this check.
     81 Fedora kernels set it to 65536.
     82 
     83 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
     84 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM=y
     85 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
     86 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
     87 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS=y
     88 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE=1
     89 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT=y
     90 
     91 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_POLICYDB_VERSION_MAX=y
     92 You don't want this one unless you are running Fedora 3 or 4.
     93 On anything newer, it will cause unnecessary policy expansion.
     94 
     95 CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK=y
     96 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
     97 
     98 By default, if you boot with multiple LSMs compiled into the kernel, the
     99 kernel won't boot succesfully - there can be only one (aside from
    100 explicit internal "stacking" e.g. as is done for combining SELinux or
    101 Smack with capabilities).  Unless you use the security= option to select
    102 one at boot.  SELinux and Smack will honor the security= option.
    103 ---------------------------------
    104 ---------------------------------
    105 Enabling Kernel Configuration to test SMACK security feature
    106 ---------------------------------
    107 CONFIG_NETLABEL=y
    108 CONFIG_SECURITY=y
    109 CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
    110 CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK=y
    111 CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX should not be set
    112

    117 Enablement for Enhancement to kexec/kdump for implementing the following features:
    118 - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec.
    119 - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
    120 Now, only the i386 architecture is supported. More from the following git logs:

    151 Video For Linux Two API testing Requirements:
    152 You need to have a video device (i.e. webcam, tuner card, etc.) connected to your system and available under /dev/video0. If you don't have any hardware device available, you can still test the "Virtual Video Driver". To compile this you need to compile your kernel with CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI=m under:
    153   -> Device Drivers
    154     -> Multimedia devices
    155       -> Video For Linux
    156         -> Video capture adapters
    157          -> Virtual Video Driver
    158 
    159 The tests also require CUnit Framework to be installed before compiling the tests. Download & Install the same from:
    160 http://sourceforge.net/projects/cunit/

    250 For more information on Fault injection, please refer to:
    251 linux-2.6/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt,
    252 
    253 You should also have made the following entries in your /etc/fstab file
    254 once the kernel is booted with the above CONFIG options set:
    255 
    256 debugfs		/sys/kernel/debug/		debugfs
    257 
    258 # How the Kernel Fault Injection works for LTP ?
    259 
    260 1) Build Kernel with all the above possible kernel CONFIG Options,
    261 2) Create the above entry in /etc/fstab file,
    262 3) Reboot in the new kernel,
    263 4) Goto LTPROOT. Build and Install LTP as per ltp/INSTALL file,
    264 5) Choose your own test(or default) to run with fault injection as follows:
    265 	./runltp -f <command_file> -F <LOOPS>,<FAULT_PROBABILITY>
    266 
    267 The algorithm functions like:
    268 loop (for each testcase)
    269 begin
    270 	execute_testcase(inside_stable_kernel)
    271 	begin
    272 		insert_fault_into_kernel()
    273 		loop X Times
    274 		begin
    275 			execute_testcase(inside_fault_kernel)
    276 		end
    277 		restore_kernel_to_normal()
    278 	end
    279 end
    280 
    281 # External TODOs:
    282 1) Add or modify testcases when relevant kernel functionality changes.

    291 CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
    292 CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
    293 
    294 Beside that, the following packages are necessary.
    295   e2fsprogs
    296   e2fsprogs-devel
    297   e2fsprogs-libs
    298 And the version of packages must be 1.41.4 or above.
