Hi,
we have a ptrace regression tests here
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests, and I can
still checkout code from cvs repo. What is the mailing list to
post patches?
ptrace-tests was written for utrace development, and utrace
is deprecated. However, it is still useful to maintain ptrace-tests.

I didn't know those tests existed. It looks like no one has touched them
since around 2012.
If anyone would be still interested in them, I'd say it would be the
ptrace() syscall kernel maintainers.

I do not know about a mailing list. The contact person may be myself.

The last CVS ChangeLog entry is:

* tests/bogus-echild.c:
tests/bogus-echild.c: Fix env(TESTTIME) not to be multiplied by DEFAULT_TESTTIME.
Make DEFAULT_TESTTIME unconditional.
Remove DEFAULT_LOOPS support.

It should be probably moved to linux-2.6/tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/ but
it needs some cleanups first which nobody has done so far.

OK, thanks for the pointer. I'd like to port these tests to arm and
aarch64 first.
kernel/tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/ is a good place for these tests, and I'll
think about how to move some useful and clean tests there.

If some real work starts with it one should also be move it to GIT.

GIT repository on sourceware.org? I suppose I need to send the request to
oversears@sourceware.org?
