This is a set of userland shims in which GEOM can be run through simple
tests.
The simulation of kernel synchronization primitives is very primitive
and consequently some times tests will fail because of races.
Data/ contains a number of files in XML format which describe the
key sectors for a number of disk images
This is a very handy tool for people developing GEOM methods. The
"simdisk" method can be told to read from a "real disk" and afterwards
dump the accessed sectors in XML format for further use.
I hope future method writes will see the benefit of this test
collection and add to it when they write methods for GEOM.
You will need ports/textproc/expat for the XML parser.

test by default, as setugid() is now part of the base kernel (assuming
(options REGRESSION) has been enabled for the running kernel).

This test utility attempts to evaluate the current kernel policy
for authorization inter-process activities, currently ptrace(),
kill(, SIGHUP), getpriority(), and setpriority(). The utility creates
pairs of processes, initializes their credential sets to useful
cases, and reports on whether the results are in keeping with hard-coded
safety expectations.
o Currently, this utility relies on the availability of __setugid(),
an uncomitted system call used for managing the P_SUGID bit. Due to
continuing discussion of optional regression testing kernel components
("options REGRESSION") I'll hold off on committing that until the
discussion has reached its natural termination.
o A number of additional testing factors should be taken into account
in the testing, including tests for different classes of signals,
interactions with process session characteristics, I/O signalling,
broadcast activities such as broadcast signalling, mass priority
setting, and to take into group-related aspects of credentials.
Additional operations should also be taken into account, such as ktrace,
debugging attach using procfs, and so on.
o This testing suite is intended to prevent the introduction of bugs
in the upcoming sets of authorization changes associated with the
introduction of process capabilities and mandatory access control.

This directory is for regression test programs.
A regression test program is one that will excercise a particular bit of the
system to check that we have not reintroduced an old bug.
Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file.
