: Nifty! what exactly does the update update to - took a quick scan of : the LTP website and it didn't exactly say anything about what : specifically it tests against.. that I could see..
LTP basically tests against all currently implemented syscalls (up to about 2.6.20something). I mostly bothered implementing syscalls <= 2.6.17, leaving out a bunch, but also adding more recent syscalls (2.6.26, ...), mainly because the gentoo base I downloaded relies on them. It is far from full linux compatibility, but that is not the realistic aim anyways; just being able to run most common linux binaries is enough. So far I've tested the linux emulation layer with java and apache tomcat, and it seems to work correctly; except for one nasty panic that crops up after shutting tomcat down a few times (related to sys_linux_exit_group and vm_map_stack_grow, it seems); I'm working on that currently. Apart from that, I haven't seen any other panics, so it should be fairly stable once this issue is addressed. Cheers, Alex Hornung
