Public bug reported:
Similar to bug 1760654.
But this time the test_072_strict_devmem passed on the testing node.
And the test_140_kernel_modules_not_tainted test still failed with the same
error message:
FAIL: test_140_kernel_modules_not_tainted (__main__.KernelSecurityTest)
kernel modules are not marked with a taint flag (especially 'E' for
TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1865, in
test_140_kernel_modules_not_tainted
self.fail('Module \'%s\' is tainted: %s' % (fields[0], last_field))
AssertionError: Module 'signpost' is tainted: (OE)
If you try to remove the module after this, you will get:
$ sudo rmmod signpost
rmmod: ERROR: Module signpost is in use
And the lsmod shows:
$ lsmod | grep signpost
signpost 12288 -2
>From the Internet [1], the "-2" here indicates that the CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
>is not set.
Which is true for the Bionic KVM kernel.
$ grep -i CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD debian.kvm/config/config.common.ubuntu
# CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is not set
