Enable CODE COVERAGE for your Kernel:
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
1) Apply kernel-gcov patch(s) against the corresponding Kernel. They are available here:
|
|
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ltp/utils/analysis/gcov-kernel/linux-2.*.*-gcov.patch?view=log,
|
|
2) Also enable the following options in your .config file before building the kernel
|
|
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE=y
|
|
CONFIG_GCOV_ALL=y
|
|
CONFIG_GCOV_PROC=m
|
|
CONFIG_GCOV_HAMMER=y
|

|
|
also want to have:
|

CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y

|
|
Enabling Kernel Configuration to test SELinux security feature
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Your Kernel should have been built with the following options to
|
|
test SELinux:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM=y
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR=0
|
|
This has to be set to a positive value if you want to test this check.
|
|
Fedora kernels set it to 65536.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE=1
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT=y
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_POLICYDB_VERSION_MAX=y
|
|
You don't want this one unless you are running Fedora 3 or 4.
|
|
On anything newer, it will cause unnecessary policy expansion.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK=y
|
|
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
|
|
|
|
By default, if you boot with multiple LSMs compiled into the kernel, the
|
|
kernel won't boot succesfully - there can be only one (aside from
|
|
explicit internal "stacking" e.g. as is done for combining SELinux or
|
|
Smack with capabilities). Unless you use the security= option to select
|
|
one at boot. SELinux and Smack will honor the security= option.

CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX should not be set

Video For Linux Two API testing Requirements:
|
|
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:
|
|
-> Device Drivers
|
|
-> Multimedia devices
|
|
-> Video For Linux
|
|
-> Video capture adapters
|
|
-> Virtual Video Driver
|
|
|
|
The tests also require CUnit Framework to be installed before compiling the tests. Download & Install the same from:
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cunit/

|
|
|
For more information on Fault injection, please refer to:
|
|
linux-2.6/Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt,
|
|
|
|
You should also have made the following entries in your /etc/fstab file
|
|
once the kernel is booted with the above CONFIG options set:
|
|
|
|
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/ debugfs
|
|
|
|
# How the Kernel Fault Injection works for LTP ?
|
|
|
|
1) Build Kernel with all the above possible kernel CONFIG Options,
|
|
2) Create the above entry in /etc/fstab file,
|
|
3) Reboot in the new kernel,
|
|
4) Goto LTPROOT. Build and Install LTP as per ltp/INSTALL file,
|
|
5) Choose your own test(or default) to run with fault injection as follows:
|
|
./runltp -f <command_file> -F <LOOPS>,<FAULT_PROBABILITY>
|
|
|
|
The algorithm functions like:
|
|
loop (for each testcase)
|
|
begin
|
|
execute_testcase(inside_stable_kernel)
|
|
begin
|
|
insert_fault_into_kernel()
|
|
loop X Times
|
|
begin
|
|
execute_testcase(inside_fault_kernel)
|
|
end
|
|
restore_kernel_to_normal()
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# External TODOs:
|
|
1) Add or modify testcases when relevant kernel functionality changes.
