Bug description:
== apparmor SRU ==
[Impact]
* The exec_stack.sh regression test fails due to a behavior change in 4.8
kernels from this patch:
commit 9f834ec18defc369d73ccf9e87a2790bfa05bf46
Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Mon Aug 22 16:41:46 2016 -0700
binfmt_elf: switch to new creds when switching to new mm
* The regression tests were fixed for this kernel change but they were fixed
in a way that always assumed that kernel change is present. They should
have
been adjusted so that they act differently according to whether or not the
kernel change is present (it is a change that could end up being backported
through the stable trees).
[Test Case]
$ apt-get source apparmor # make sure this fetches the new apparmor source
$ sudo apt-get install libapparmor-dev
$ cd tests/regression/apparmor
$ make USE_SYSTEM=1
$ sudo bash exec_stack.sh
The previous command should result in no output and return value of
0.
[Regression Potential]
* This is an extremely low risk change since it only touches regression
testing code that is not user-facing.
[Other]
* Fixed in upstream lp:apparmor tree:

== Original description ==
The regression tests are currently hard coded to the semantics of mmap
in binfmt_elf
With the recent upstream commit
9f834ec18defc369d73ccf9e87a2790bfa05bf46 the cred used for the mmap
changed resulting in test failures. The tests have been patched for
this change but it results in the test breaking for everyone using
upstream releases against pre 4.8 kernels.
