Oracular ships systemd 256 and /tmp/ is now by default a tmpfs. [1]
On Oracular:
$ findmnt --target /tmp/
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/tmp tmpfs tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,size=6123876k,nr_inodes=1048576,inode64
On Noble:
$ findmnt --target /tmp
TARGET
SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ /dev/vda1 ext4 rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,commit=30
test_032_dev_kmem runs mknod(2) to create a character device file under /tmp.
Because of the difference, on Oracular, openat(2) (by errno-read.py) returns
earlier with errno 13 (Permission denied), while errno 6 (No such device) is
expected.
-> vfs_open()
[...]
-> may_open()
-> may_open_dev() returns 0 because of MNT_NODEV
return -EACCES
The whole point of test_032_dev_kmem is I think to test ubuntu policy
(CONFIG_DEVKMEM=n for many years before bbcd53c96071 ("drivers/char:
remove /dev/kmem for good")):
-> vfs_open()
[...]
-> chrdev_open()
-> memory_open()
-> devlist[2 /*kmem*/] is empty so return -ENXIO
I'll propose an update (fix) for test_032_dev_kmem to qa-regression-testing.

Title:
test_032_dev_kmem from ubuntu_qrt_kernel_security failed on Oracular
(Permission denied)
Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests:
New
Bug description:
Issue found on Openstack amd64/arm64/ppc64el with Oracular since
6.11.0-5.5 in d2024.08.12.
It's worthy to note that with 6.11.0-4.4, only ARM64 has failed with
this test, AMD64 and PPC64EL are good.
The test is expecting return code 6 (No such device), but we got 13
(Permission denied) here on Oracular.
Test log:
