ChangeLog

LTP-20060515
-Added a patch from Darrick Wong to reduce the memory requirements of 
 pounder's ramsnaketes
-Added a patch for crash01.c from Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
 POWER5 has coherent icache, but POWER4, PPC970 and some other processors
 lack it. The standard dcbst/icbi/isync is needed to avoid using the not
 so random (or stale) data instead.
-Test.h was moved to common headers to eliminate the need for every test file to
 declare Tst_count extern
-Usctest.h was changed to eliminate scope issues when actually using TEST()
-Added a patch from Mike Gahangan to clean up a makefile with an extra build 
 target variable.  
-Added a patch from Issac Wilcox that can keeps the test from returning a false
 failure
-Made changes to setregid02, setregid03 and setregid04 to use gid_t instead 
 of int where appropriate
-Made changes to setresgid01, setresgid02,setresgid03, setresuid01,setresuid02,
 and setresuid03  to pull the [gs]etre* prototypes from headers rather than 
 defining them ourself
-Made changes to setreuid01,setreuid02,setreuid03,setreuid04,and setreuid05
 to use uid_t instead of int where appropriate
- Added a change to getpriority01 to combine the TEST_RETURN and TEST_ERRNO 
  if check so that we always display PASS or FAIL messages as pointed out 
  by Isaac Wilcox
- Added a patch to make the output of fork07 deterministic.
  Specifically, make sure stdout is flushed before forking 100 times,
  else you can get 101 copies of the output.  This only seems to happen
  if glibc notices that stdout is a regular file, but in my test setup
  stdout is always redirected to a file and compared with something.
-Changed the declaration for setup and cleanup from extern in the 
 following files:

 alarm01,chdir02,chown01,close08,creat09,dup0,dup04,execl01,execle01,execlp01,
 execv01,execve01,execvp01,fchmod01,fchown01,fcntl02,fcntl03,fcntl04,fcntl05,

  system, it the max number guaranteed.  Thus, if the system actually
  allows more, the test case doesn't produce the expected failure.

  The rlim_max used by setrlimit() is expected to be greater than current hard limit to get EPERM.

- Fixed ftp01 and telnet01 seems designed to run with non-root user connection
  when the user name is set to RUSER environment variable.
  However, it is incomplete.ftp01 creates a directory whose permission is root.
  So, non-root user cannot write in the directory.

  Blackfin processor, we found a problem in mount01 where malloc was not
  reserving space for the trailing null byte and strncpy was being called
  without enough bytes to account for the trailing null byte.  The
  following patch fixes the problem
- Increased USER_PRECISION to 2200 to take into account the processes switching time nanosleep02
- The attached patch fixes a swapon cross compile build error I ran into
  recently. I verified that RH9 self hosted and cross compile builds now
- Removed the include of <asm/atomic.h> back out.  Most distros and kernels
  can build and execute the test without it now.
- Change for defect 13778, when the /var/log/messages file is first moved, the first write fails
- The SIGINT sighandler will set the "intinitr" flag to 1 for the children. But if the
  "runtime" is small( a command line argument passed, the testcases were running
  for 5 secs here), it may happen that the SIGINT may be recieved before the
  child initialize the flag to 0, and which may lead to a hang
- Change to exclude lib6 directory from default build since it breaks earlier Distros
- Added code to handle cases where certain distros don't define AI_V4MAPPED in /usr/include/netdb.h
