VSX-PCTS User and Installation Guide
The operations that must be performed by the configured commands are described in
the following sections. You need only refer to the descriptions of the targets that appear
in the template that has been created by config.sh.
The Makefile is provided for convenience should the installation stage need to be
repeated. However, as the configured commands must be executed as a privileged user,
you may, if you prefer, choose not to use the Makefile and execute the necessary
commands by hand instead.
6.7.1 Privilege Check
The privchk target checks that make has been executed with the necessary
privileges. The default commands assume that these privileges are associated with user
ID 0 and use the commands id and grep to check the current user ID value.
6.7.2 Parent Directory Group ID
The dirgid target sets up the testroot directory to support the inheritance of parent
directory group ID. The default commands assume that this is done by setting the
S_ISGID bit on the directory.
6.7.3 Execute Install Script as User vsx0
The install target executes the VSX installation script install.sh with the
user ID of user vsx0. Since the script expects the environment variable HOME to
contain the vsx0 home directory, these commands must ensure that it is set
appropriately.
6.7.4 Assign Privileges to chmog Program
The chmogpriv target gives the program chmog the appropriate privilege to
change the mode, owner and group of any file and to assign privileges to executable
files. The default commands make the program setuid root.
6.7.5 Set Up File System for ENOSPC Tests
The filldisc target initialises the mountable device to be used for ENOSPC tests
to a known nearly-full condition. This is done by mounting the device, changing
directory to the mount point, and executing the filldisc.sh script. The default
commands also include a df to report the free space remaining after filldisc.sh
has completed.
6.7.6 Additional Subset-specific Targets
The Makefile may also contain additional targets that are specific to the subsets you
have selected. Refer to the package-specific sections at the end of this chapter for
details.
6.7.7 Non-configured Commands
The top level Makefile may also perform some of the following operations, using
commands that do not need to be configured by the user:
g
Creates the testroot directory if it does not already exist.
g
Additional subset-specific operations.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Action Points
1.
Edit the Makefile in the vsx0 home directory.
2.
Configure the implementation-specific installation commands correctly for your
system.
