Hello Jamie, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apparmor into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/2.13.2-9ubuntu6.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: apparmor (Ubuntu Disco)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-disco

Title:
  specifying -O no-expr-simplify results in cache miss

Status in apparmor source package in Eoan:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * AppArmor 2.13 unconditionally invalidates its cache when parser options 
are specified. To decrease compile times for ARM systems, -O no-expr-simplify 
has been used in Ubuntu for click and snap policy for many years, but was 
temporarily disabled during the disco development release with the 2.13 upload 
so caching properly worked everywhere. Now that a simple upstream workaround is 
available (and already in eoan), we'd like to apply the upstream patch and 
re-enable -O no-expr-simplify.
   * A condition of the AppArmor 2.13 feature freeze exception was to fix this 
bug in SRU to re-enable -O no-expr-simplify. This will help compile times for 
all architectures with default and typical AppArmor policy (ie, a mixture of 
(distro) system and snap policy), but especially ARM systems with snaps where 
the improvement could be in terms of minutes saved.
   * Specifically, the upstream patch workaround to no longer unconditionally 
skip reading the cache when parser options are specified. It also re-enables an 
existing quilt patch to update /etc/apparmor/parser.conf to use 
no-expr-simplify.

  [Test Case]

  # setup
  $ mkdir -p /tmp/aa/cache /tmp/aa/profiles
  $ cp /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient /tmp/aa/profiles/

  # no options, no cache, expect a miss and to write
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # no options, cache, expect a hit
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache hit: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # reset
  $ rm -rf /tmp/aa/cache/*

  # options, no cache, expect a miss and to write
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load -O no-expr-simplify --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # options, cache, expect a hit
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load -O no-expr-simplify --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient # SHOULD BE A HIT
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  Same thing happens if omitting -O no-expr-simplify but add Optimize
  =no-expr-simplify to /etc/apparmor/parser.conf.

  [Regression Potential]

  The regression potential is considered low since the patch is simple
  and easily verifiable. If something went wrong, it would be around
  cache invalidation which the above test case will demonstrate it works
  correctly.

  # Original description

  With 2.13.2 and the most recent testsuite patches from the 2.13
  branch, I find that the cache works correctly when no options are
  specified. Eg

  # setup
  $ mkdir -p /tmp/aa/cache /tmp/aa/profiles
  $ cp /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient /tmp/aa/profiles/

  # no options, no cache, expect a miss and to write
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # no options, cache, expect a hit
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache hit: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # reset
  $ rm -rf /tmp/aa/cache/*

  # options, no cache, expect a miss and to write
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load -O no-expr-simplify --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  # options, cache, expect a hit
  $ /sbin/apparmor_parser -k --write-cache --cache-loc=/tmp/aa/cache 
--skip-kernel-load -O no-expr-simplify --add -- /tmp/aa/profiles
  Cache: added primary location '/tmp/aa/cache'
  Cache miss: /tmp/aa/profiles/sbin.dhclient     # SHOULD BE A HIT
  Wrote cache: /tmp/aa/cache/26b63962.0/sbin.dhclient

  Same thing happens if omitting -O no-expr-simplify but add Optimize
  =no-expr-simplify to /etc/apparmor/parser.conf.
