The offsets specify the ends of variable length data. We would trust the
incoming data, putting the offsets specified in our message
into the offsets tables after doing some superficial verification.
But when actually reading the data we apply alignment, so we would take
the previous offset, align it, making it bigger then current offset, and
then we'd try to read data of negative length.
In the attached example, the message specifies the following offsets:
[1, 4]
but the alignment of those items is
[1, 8]
so we'd calculate the second item as starting at 8 and ending at 4.
The extended testsuite only works with uid=0. It contains of several
subdirectories named "test/TEST-??-*", which are run one by one.
To run the extended testsuite do the following:
$ make all # Avoid the "sudo make" below building anything as root
$ cd test
$ sudo make clean check
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/data/harald/git/systemd/test/TEST-01-BASIC'
Making all in .
Making all in po
TEST: Basic systemd setup [OK]
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/data/harald/git/systemd/test/TEST-01-BASIC'
...
If one of the tests fails, then $subdir/test.log contains the log file of
the test.
To debug a special testcase of the testsuite do:
$ make all
$ cd test/TEST-01-BASIC
$ sudo make clean setup run
QEMU
====
If you want to log in the testsuite virtual machine, you can specify
additional kernel command line parameter with $KERNEL_APPEND.
$ sudo make KERNEL_APPEND="systemd.unit=multi-user.target" clean setup run
you can even skip the "clean" and "setup" if you want to run the machine again.
$ sudo make KERNEL_APPEND="systemd.unit=multi-user.target" run
You can specify a different kernel and initramfs with $KERNEL_BIN and $INITRD.
(Fedora's or Debian's default kernel path and initramfs are used by default)
$ sudo make KERNEL_BIN=/boot/vmlinuz-foo INITRD=/boot/initramfs-bar clean check
A script will try to find your QEMU binary. If you want to specify a different
one you can use $QEMU_BIN.
$ sudo make QEMU_BIN=/path/to/qemu/qemu-kvm clean check
