LTP employs FORK_OR_VFORK macro which is defined as: #ifdef UCLINUX #define FORK_OR_VFORK vfork #define MAP_PRIVATE_EXCEPT_UCLINUX 0 #else #define FORK_OR_VFORK fork #define MAP_PRIVATE_EXCEPT_UCLINUX MAP_PRIVATE #endif So, on UCLINUX it is a vfork call. But many testcases use this macro and try to use functions other than exec() and _exit() inside a child. Example - syscalls/setfsuid/setfsuid04.c. And I suppose that because of that fact these testcases may fail on UCLINUX (or behave unexpectedly). Is this situation left intentionally? Does somebody care about this issue? Or we simply ignore it. I'm just curious. :) Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
