See ChangeLog Below
-A fix for Bug 23587 where the connectathon test failed on linux client 
with cifs mount to Windows2003 R2 server
op_chmod.c


-For Linux, 3 is a valide value for the scheduler, as found in the 
/linux/includ/sched.h file.   For testing and invalid_policy, the 
invalid_policy value should not be 3
17-5.c


Sem_post/5.-1.c According to its intention, #3, call sleep(1) and then 
alarm(1).  Moving sleep before alarm causes the test to pass  
sem_post/8-1.c Although step 3 intended,  The children lock the 
semaphore. * Make sure the two children are waiting."  Without that 
caeratn piece of cde which explicity make children wat.  the test will 
PASS and the children are waiting.  Sem_unlink_1_1 and sem_unline_2_1 
"Sem_unlink" is too long for the name of a semaphore for certain 
architectures
5-1.c, 8-1.c, 1-1.c, 2-1.c


-When calling pthread_attr_setscope, PHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS is not 
supported by linux, change it to PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM and the test will 
pass
20-1.c, 21-1.c, 21-2.c


-Removed the  ":" after 'v' in the getopts line because it is not using 
optarg.
runltplite.sh


-Added code to disable tests that will not run on kernels below 2.6.16
faccessat01.c, fchmodat01.c, fchownat01.c, fstatat01.c, futimesat01.c, 
linkat01.c, mknod01.c, openat01.c, readlinkat01.c, renameat01.c, 
symlinkat01.c, tee01.c, unlinkat01.c, vmsplice01.c


-When calling pthread_attr_setscope, PHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS is not 
supported by linux, change it to PHTREAD-SCOPE_SYSTEM for testing and 
then the test passes.
22-1.c, 22-2.c


-A patch by David Stevens that fixes: 1) Removes signedness warning by 
changing the type of valsize from int to socklen_t 2) Correct but in 
ancillary data - sorce data is unit8_t, memcopy size is "sizeof(int)"; 
this results in garbage and TBROK on PPC64
asapi_06.c


-A fix for bugs 27174 and 27177.  This fixes the problem of reading 
HugePages_Free
hugemmap01.c, hugemmap04.c


-Correcting error messages
ltpapicmd.c

-This patch by Darrick Wong fixes complier warnings and overflow 
problems related to the use of large number #defines on some architectures.
inconsistency-check.c


-When calling pthread_attr_setscope, PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS is not 
supported by linux, change it to PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM for testing
15-1.c, 15-2.c


-A fix for bug #27618 that addresses two issues: 1) PAGE_SIZE which was 
normally 4096, but on the machine it found to 64k ! 2) The size of the 
file, offset passed. If those values, happen to be on the *Page 
boundary*, mmap would be happy. But in our case, it was not !
fsx-linux.c


-Changing include <posixtest.h> to include "posixtest.h"
1-1.c


-A patch by Darrick Wong that adds a set of rudimentary IPMI tests to 
pounder.  They check that the in-kernel IPMI driver can access the 
machine's BMC/SP (if there is one), query it for status and check for 
various IPMI 2.0 features.
