Public bug reported:

[Impact]
grep can't be used under udev, preventing kdump-tools to be used after a memory 
hotplug.

[Test case]
Run grep with systemd-run -t --property MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes /bin/grep 
crashkernel /proc/cmdline

[Regression potential]
The fix is a simple rebuild, so should have minimal potential for regression.


-------------------------

# systemd-run -t --property MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes /bin/grep crashkernel 
/proc/cmdline
Running as unit: run-u54.service
Press ^] three times within 1s to disconnect TTY.
/bin/grep: error while loading shared libraries: cannot restore segment prot 
after reloc: Operation not permitted
#

Under ppc64el, grep can't be used under udev, because it restricts
mapping to be Write+Execute, with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes. A rebuild
of grep under bionic fixes the issue.
