** Description changed: + [Impact] + + snap-confine contains sanity unit tests that check if the kernel behaves + in a certain, particular way that subsequent runtime behaviour depends + on. As it happens to be launchpad package building machinery runs on an + older kernel with a xenial/yakkety chroot and the sanity test fails. + + The relevant unit tests now check and parse kernel version and unless a + recent enough version is available, those tests are skipped. + + [Test Case] + + N/A + + Technically if someone wants to verify this change then it is sufficient + to rebuild the package on 14.04 release (not the LTS updated) kernel + like 3.19. + + [Regression Potential] + + None, this only affects unit tests in a safe way. + + [Other Info] + + * This bug is a part of a major SRU that brings snap-confine in Ubuntu + 16.04 in line with the current upstream release 1.0.42. + + * snap-confine is technically an integral part of snapd which has an SRU + exception and is allowed to introduce new features and take advantage of + accelerated procedure. For more information see + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdUpdates + + == # Pre-SRU bug description follows # == + Probably because of the old kernel version, a test fails like this: /ns/sc_init_ns_group: OK /ns/sc_lock_unlock_ns_mutex: OK ** ERROR:ns-support-test.c:323:test_nsfs_fs_id: assertion failed (buf.f_type == NSFS_MAGIC): (40864 == 1853056627) /ns/nsfs_fs_id: FAIL - 12:44 < mwhudson> 40864 seems to be PROC_SUPER_MAGIC 12:44 < mwhudson> zyga: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snap-confine/+bug/1625565 12:44 < zyga> mwhudson: thanks 12:45 < mwhudson> and NSFS_MAGIC was only added to the kernel in a commit from Sat Nov 1 10:57:28 2014 -0400 12:45 < mwhudson> so that's not going to be in the 14.04 release kernel 12:46 < mwhudson> 3.19+ 12:46 < zyga> mwhudson: so even the kernel headers have that macro, the relevant files in the kernel don't use it? 12:47 < mwhudson> zyga: well the kernel headers you are building against are from yakkety presumably 12:47 < zyga> mwhudson: yes, I just checked that :/ 12:47 < zyga> mwhudson: the mount namespace file in the kernel is indeed procfs 12:47 < zyga> mwhudson: I guess this test needs to be skipped 12:47 < zyga> mwhudson: and we might need a separate check for this in snap-confine proper 12:48 < zyga> so that if we open and see PROC_SUPER_MAGIC we can die()
