• [$] Testing compat_linux on NetBSD with the Linux Test Project

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Sep 22 06:40:09 2026

    NetBSD has long had support for
    running Linux binaries via its kernel-level compat_linux
    feature, but test coverage for it was less complete than some might
    hope. In order to provide better testing for compat_linux,
    Google Summer of Code (GSoC) participant Henrique Brito opted to work
    on enabling the Linux Test
    Project (LTP) test suite to compile and run on NetBSD. At EuroBSDCon˙2026, Brito's
    mentor, Stephen Borrill, provided a report on the project, and the
    status of LTP on NetBSD. The work has already resulted in some minor
    fixes, and a good list of additional problems to solve.
