Pleas don't mark this as fix released until a kernel package with the
fix is in the updates pocket. In fact, when that happens the status will
be updated by launchpad automatically.

Title:
/proc/self/maps paths missing on live session (was vlc won't start;

Bug description:
SRU Justification
Impact: A patch to enable mounting overlayfs over shiftfs introduced a
regression in /proc/pid/maps when a proc mount over an overlayfs mount
is accessed from within a chroot. All paths within the file are /
instead of paths to the files backing memory-mapped regions. This is
causing issues in several different configurations.
Fix: Revert the offending patch.
Test Case: A simple reproducer can be found attached in lp1842382.sh.
Regression Potential: This reverts to the previous behavior. Mounting
overlayfs over shiftfs will not work until a fixed patch is applied.

Using Lubuntu 19.10 daily 'live' : (later confirmed with
Ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu too if `vlc` is added if not already present)
From menu option, from pcmanfm-qt (trying to open an appropriate file), or
from terminal I've been unable to start vlc.
lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ vlc
VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)
lubuntu@lubuntu:~$
No crash reports are visible (/var/crash/ is empty) and I see no
reason, but I cannot get vlc to play files, or open. I'll continue to
explore as I'm able.
