execveat03 in ubuntu_ltp_syscalls failed on X/B

As expected, this failure could be found in generic kernel as well.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1786729

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.

From the test case source:

    Check if an unlinked executable can run in overlayfs mount.
    The regression is introduced from 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3
    namespaced file capabilities"). in security/commoncap.c,
    cap_inode_getsecurity() use d_find_alias() cause unhashed dentry
    can't be found. The solution could use d_find_any_alias() instead of
    d_find_alias().

    From kernel 4.14, this case is expected fails, execveat shell
    return EINVAL.

I checked upstream and the code still uses d_find_alias(). There's a patch that is in Eric Biederman's userns-testing branch but not linux-next:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10560165/

So ... given that this has always been in bionic and we're only noticing because some test specifically for this problem failed, I don't see that it's something urgent to fix. I think we can just add the fix to the next upload.

Cherry picked fix from linux-next for cosmic and unstable.

Applied this fix to cosmic and unstable. I've also uploaded a new unstable kernel, so will put it through testing after it builds to confirm the problem is fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.18.0-7.8

Mark it as incomplete while waiting for verifications.

This test appears to be passing now on 4.18.0-7.8 on Bionic - AMD64, still waiting on AWS to start, however looks better than the previous kernel already.

The test still fails due to bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-kernel-tests/+bug/1788351

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
