+# Capsicum User Space Tests
+
+This directory holds unit tests for [Capsicum](http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/)
+object-capabilities. The tests exercise the syscall interface to a Capsicum-enabled operating system,
+currently either [FreeBSD >=10.x](http://www.freebsd.org) or a modified Linux kernel (the
+[capsicum-linux](http://github.com/google/capsicum-linux) project).
+
- The tests are written in C++98, and use the [Google Test](https://code.google.com/p/googletest/)
++The tests are written in C++11 and use the [Google Test](https://code.google.com/p/googletest/)
+framework, with some additions to fork off particular tests (because a process that enters capability
+mode cannot leave it again).
+
+## Provenance
+
+The original basis for these tests was:
+
+ - [unit tests](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/master/tools/regression/security/cap_test)
+ written by Robert Watson and Jonathan Anderson for the original FreeBSD 9.x Capsicum implementation
+ - [unit tests](http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/kernel-capsicum.git;a=tree;f=tools/testing/capsicum_tests;hb=refs/heads/capsicum) written by Meredydd Luff for the original Capsicum-Linux port.
+
+These tests were coalesced and moved into an independent repository to enable
+comparative testing across multiple OSes, and then substantially extended.
+
+## OS Configuration
+
+### Linux
+
+The following kernel configuration options are needed to run the tests:
+
+ - `CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPSICUM`: enable the Capsicum framework
+ - `CONFIG_PROCDESC`: enable Capsicum process-descriptor functionality
+ - `CONFIG_DEBUG_FS`: enable debug filesystem
+ - `CONFIG_IP_SCTP`: enable SCTP support
+
+### FreeBSD (>= 10.x)
+
+The following kernel configuration options are needed so that all tests can run:
+
+ - `options P1003_1B_MQUEUE`: Enable POSIX message queues (or `kldload mqueuefs`)
+
+## Other Dependencies
+
+### Linux
+
+The following additional development packages are needed to build the full test suite on Linux.
+
+ - `libcaprights`: See below
+ - `libcap-dev`: Provides headers for POSIX.1e capabilities.
+ - `libsctp1`: Provides SCTP library functions.
+ - `libsctp-dev`: Provides headers for SCTP library functions.
+
+
+## Linux libcaprights
+
+The Capsicum userspace library is held in the `libcaprights/` subdirectory. Ideally, this
+library should be built (with `./configure; make` or `dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us`) and
+installed (with `make install` or `dpkg -i libcaprights*.deb`) so that the tests will
+use behave like a normal Capsicum-aware application.
+
+However, if no installed copy of the library is found, the `GNUmakefile` will attempt
+to use the local `libcaprights/*.c` source; this requires `./configure` to have been
+performed in the `libcaprights` subdirectory. The local code is also used for
+cross-compiled builds of the test suite (e.g. `make ARCH=32` or `make ARCH=x32`).
