Title:
KVM guest execution start apparmor blocks on /dev/ptmx now
(regression?)
Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in lxd package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Setup:
- Xenial host
- lxd guests with Trusty, Xenial, ...
- add a LXD profile to allow kvm [3] (inspired by stgraber)
- spawn KVM guests in the LXD guests using the different distro release
versions
- guests are based on the uvtool default template which has a serial console
[4]
Issue:
- guest starting with serial device gets blocked by apparmor and killed on
creation
- This affects at least ppc64el and x86 (s390x has no serial concept that
would match)
- This appeared in our usual checks on -proposed releases so maybe we
can/should stop something?
Last good was "Apr 5, 2017 10:40:50 AM" first bad one "Apr 8, 2017 5:11:22
AM"
Background:
We use this setup for a while and it was working without a change on our end.
Also the fact that it still works in the Trusty LXD makes it somewhat
suspicious.
Therefore I'd assume an SRUed change in LXD/Kernel/Apparmor might be the
reason and open this bug to get your opinion on it.
You can look into [1] and search for uvt-kvm create in it.

There was a similar issue on qmeu namespacing (which we don't use on any of
these releases) [2].
While we surely don't have the "same" issue the debugging on the namespacing
might be worth as it could be related.
Workaround for now:
- drop serial section from guest xml
