Public bug reported:
This is an old bug that looks like the fix missed Precise since Yama was
backported there. Yama was introduced in 3.4, but Precise is 3.2 with
Yama backported. The upstream fix for this bug is missing, which can
cause problems when a Yama-aware program is running in 32-bit userspace
(e.g. chroot) on a 64-bit kernel.
Fixed upstream by 2e4930eb7c8fb20a39dfb5f8a8f80402710dcea8
SRU Justification:
- impact: Yama programs running in 32-bit chroots will fail to work correctly
- test case: prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, ...) shouldn't return
EINVAL on 32-bit userspace
- regression potential: nearly zero. this restores a missing function, and the
patch is trivial and upstream for years.
