and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
This reverts the default timeout for test cases back to 300 seconds.
The change in the release was quite blind because it did not anticipate
many existing tests to be slow enough to overflow the modified timeout
(30 seconds), specially in anita.
My plan to really fix this is to let test cases specify their sizes in
a declarative way instead of specifying timeouts in seconds (the timeout
being defined by atf-run on a size basis), so I'm not going to bother to
go over all existing tests trying to figure out which ones need a higher
timeout for now. It is just easier to revert.
interval instead of assuming that there are exactly 1000 real-time-clock
milliseconds per second! On some ports when running under qemu, there
can be twice as many RTC milliseconds as expected.
This is part 2 of the changes required to make the libevent tests work
on port-amd64 under qemu.
even when running under qemu on platforms with a clock-skew problem.
The original 3-second timer was intended to be "longer than the http
timeout" (which is 2 seconds), and the updated 5-second value still meets
this requirement. The updated value also meets the requirement even when
the http timeout stretches to 4-seconds under qemu.
This is part 1 of getting the libevent tests working on port-amd64 with
qemu.
Experimental version released on November 7th, 2010.
* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_THROW_RE to atf-c++, which is the same as
ATF_REQUIRE_THROW but allows checking for the validity of the exception's
error message by means of a regular expression.
* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH to atf-c++, which allows checking for a
regular expression match in a string.
* Changed the default timeout for test cases from 5 minutes to 30 seconds.
30 seconds is long enough for virtually all tests to complete, and 5
minutes is a way too long pause in a test suite where a single test case
stalls.
* Deprecated the use.fs property. While this seemed like a good idea in
the first place to impose more control on what test cases can do, it
turns out to be bad. First, use.fs=false prevents bogus test cases
from dumping core so after-the-fact debugging is harder. Second,
supporting use.fs adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. atf-run will
now ignore any value provided to use.fs and will allow test cases to
freely access the file system if they wish to.
* Added the atf_tc_get_config_var_as_{bool,long}{,_wd} functions to the atf-c
library. The 'text' module became private in 0.11 but was being used
externally to simplify the parsing of configuration variables.
* Made atf-run recognize the 'unprivileged-user' configuration variable
and automatically drop root privileges when a test case sets
require.user=unprivileged. Note that this is, by no means, done for
security purposes; this is just for user convenience; tests should, in
general, not be blindly run as root in the first place.
