Good news everyone,
the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *September 2024* has been
released.
Since the last release 266 patches by 47 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.

- signalfd02 Negative tests for signalfd() syscall
- mseal02 Negative tests for mseal() syscall
- hugeshmget06 A hugepage shm test
- landlock07 Landlock Houdini reproducer aka CVE-2024-42318
- getcpu02 Negative tests for getcpu() syscall
- landlock06 Tests for LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV
- landlock05 Tests for LONDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER
- landlock04 Tests that syscalls are enabled/disable accordingly to the ruleset

- mseal01 Tests that memory is protected from being changed after it's sealed
- fchmodat2_02 Negative tests for fchmodat2()
- fchmodat2_01 Tests for AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for fchmodat2()
- cachestat04 Checks that cachestat() syscall either reports EBADF or zeroed
statistics on all kinds of unsupported fds
- cachestat03 Negative tests for cachestat() syscall
- cachestat02 Basic cachestat tests with fd pointing to shared memory
- cachestat01 Basic cachestat tests for regular files
- shutdown01 Basic shutdown tests
- shutdown02 Negative tests for shutdown() sycall
* The symlink01 mess is being split into separate testcases
- open15 A test that open() syscall works correctly with symlinks
- lstat03 A basic lstat() test.
- rename15 Tests that rename works correctly with symlinks
- chmod08 Tests that chmod() works correctly with symlinks
* Increased coverage
- readdir and getdents tests were enabled to run on all supported filesystems
after we found that bcachefs had sublty broken implementation
- gedent02 Adds more negative tests
- timer_settime01 Now checks for premature timer expiration as well
- pkey01 Now includes tests for PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE
- request_key01 Added more negative tests
- acct02 Added more negative tests
- prctl04 has been renamed to seccomp01 and now covers also the seccomp()
syscall along with the older prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) calls
- msync04 now uses direct I/O to verify that data have been written to disk
* Rewritten tests
- fork05 was rewritten and correctly reports TCONF on non i386 hardware
- fcnt14 a file locking test was rewriten to generate subtests at runtime
- sched_starvation now autocallibrates expected runtime based on CPU speed
- sched_footbal was rewritten and is now executed as part of the sched
runtest file
* The test library now supports specifying mkfs and mount options per a
filesystem
* Bunch of checks for kernels older than 4.4 were removed from the tests since
the currently minimal kernel version LTP supports is 4.4
* We have a new shell test library that:
- makes shell code seamlessly interoperable with C
- reuses most of the C test library
- makes use shared memory to report test results
- there are currently no tests using this library, we will start rewriting
existing tests after the release
* 3 testcases were converted to the new test library
+ The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
