Regression tests can not detect binfmt_elf mmpa semantic change

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1630069

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

The Yakkety apparmor package does not need this change since the Yakkety kernel will always have kernel commit 9f834ec18defc369d73ccf9e87a2790bfa05bf46 present.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.8.0-21.23

Hello John, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apparmor into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/2.10.95-0ubuntu2.5 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 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 to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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

I've completed the AppArmor test plan:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/AppArmor

I've also manually verified the AppArmor portion of this SRU with the kernel currently in xenial-updates (4.4.0-45.66) and the kernel in xenial-proposed (4.4.0-46.67), which contains a number of AppArmor changes.

This bug was fixed in the package apparmor - 2.10.95-0ubuntu2.5

---------------
apparmor (2.10.95-0ubuntu2.5) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/lib/apparmor/functions, debian/apparmor.init,
    debian/apparmor.service, debian/apparmor.upstart,
    debian/lib/apparmor/profile-load: Adjust the checks that previously kept
    AppArmor policy from being loaded while booting a container. Now we
    attempt to load policy if we're in a LXD or LXC managed container that is
    using profile stacking inside of a policy namespace. (LP: #1628285)
  * Fix regression tests for stacking so that the kernel SRU process is not
    interrupted by failing tests whenever the AppArmor stacking features are
    backported from the 16.10 kernel or when the 16.04 LTS Enablement Stack
    receives a 4.8 or newer kernel
    - debian/patches/r3509-tests-fix-exec_stack-errors-1.patch: Fix the
      exec_stack.sh test when running on 4.8 or newer kernels (LP: #1628745)
    - debian/patches/r3558-tests-fix-exec_stack-errors-2.patch: Adjust the
      exec_stack.sh fix mentioned above to more accurately test kernels older
      than 4.8 (LP: #1630069)
    - debian/patches/allow-stacking-tests-to-use-system.patch: Apply this
      patch earlier in the series, as to match when it was committed upstream,
      so that the above two patches can be cherry-picked from lp:apparmor
