Also, UCLINUX was used in tests which used the legacy LTP API, which was buggy. We slowly rewrite tests into new API [1], which is more reliable and do cleanup and bug fixes during test rewrites. But because nobody stand to maintain UCLINUX support, it's not in the new API. Thus we have actively deleted it's support during the rewrite in past years. I wonder myself if anybody is even using LTP on UCLINUX platforms. Nearly 25% of the syscalls tests use fork(), thus will not work on UCLINUX. First tests were rewritten in 2016 (first release in 20160510) and nobody complained. All tests C based tests (both new and legacy API): $ git grep -l -e 'include .tst_test.h' -e 'include .test.h' testcases/ |wc -l 1494 Tests, which use fork(), i.e. not working in UCLINUX: $ git grep -l '\.forks_child.*1' testcases/ |wc -l 334 Kind regards, Petr [1] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/C-Test-API
