[LTP] [PATCH 0/2] Fix for syscalls/utimensat01 test on Ubuntu 4.4 kernel

[Po-Hsu Lin]

Ubuntu 4.4 kernel got the backported kernel patch (b3b4283) for
syscalls/utimensat01 since 4.4.0-48.69, therefore it will return
EPERM instead of EACCES.

Without this fix, the test will fail on Ubuntu 4.4 kernel with:
  FAIL: 18: utimensat() failed with incorrect error, expected EACCES: EPERM (1)
  FAIL: 19: utimensat() failed with incorrect error, expected EACCES: EPERM (1)

Also add support to get the distname for Ubuntu by using grep for
^ID=ubuntu from /etc/os-release in tst_kvcmp_distname()

There is no need to know the codename of the release, as we just need
distname UBUTNU and the detailed kernel version for tst_kvercmp2() to
compare the kernel version in syscalls/utimensat01.

[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] lib/tst_kvercmp: Add support to get distname for Ubuntu in tst_kvcmp_distname

[Po-Hsu Lin]

The kver on Ubuntu will be something like these:
* 4.4.0-187-generic
* 5.4.0-1021-kvm
* 4.15.0-1093-azure

So it's better to grep for ^ID=ubuntu in /etc/os-release to determine
the distname, instead of doing this from checking kver substring like
what we did for RHEL / Oracle Linux

Can we please properly parse the /etc/os-release file insetad of this
hackery?

It should be as easy as one SAFE_FILE_SCANF() in the case that the file
exists.

It's SAFE_FILE_LINES_SCANF()

Hello Cyril,
thanks for your suggestion, I will submit V2 for this.

This whole thing looks broken, this is not how the tst_kvercmp2() is
supposed to work. The generic kernel version is supposed to be passed in
the first parameters and the kvers overrides that option.

So this should be something like:

	if (tst_kvercmp2(4, 4, 27, kvers) < 0)
		tc->exp_err = EACCESS;
	else
		tc->exp_err = EPERM;


And in a case that the distro matches to UBUNTU the kernel version is
compared against the "4.4.0-48.69" instead of the generic one.

Ah!
I think I can update the doc/test-writing-guidelines.txt with this later.

I will send V2 for this patch.
Thanks for your detailed explanation.
