Hello,
I've been running execveat (execveat.c) locally on v6.1 and next-20240228.
It has flaky test case. There are some test cases which fail consistently.
The comment (not very clear) on top of failing cases is as following:
/*
* Execute as a long pathname relative to "/". If this is a script,
* the interpreter will launch but fail to open the script because its
* name ("/dev/fd/5/xxx....") is bigger than PATH_MAX.
*
* The failure code is usually 127 (POSIX: "If a command is not found,
* the exit status shall be 127."), but some systems give 126 (POSIX:
* "If the command name is found, but it is not an executable utility,
* the exit status shall be 126."), so allow either.
*/
The file name is just less than PATH_MAX (4096) and we are expecting the
execveat() to fail with particular 99 or 127/128 error code. But kernel is
returning 1 error code. Snippet from full output:
# child 3493092 exited with 1 not 99 nor 99
# child 3493094 exited with 1 not 127 nor 126
I'm not sure if test is wrong or the kernel has changed the return error codes.
Full test run output:
