kernel bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2045384
introduced an apparmor change to the 5.15. This rolled down to the Focal
HWE 5.15 kernel, causing failures to properly snap seed
The original functionality was added into ubuntu/master and ubuntu/jammy
with this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/2015596
which happened during the HWE roll to the 5.19 kernel. There was an
assumption that a breaking change like this would not affect Focal, as
rolls were done. However, 2045384 shows that this is not necessarily
true.
To fix 2045384, a backport to focal of the functionality in
snap_validate_seed allowing matching on kernel version, and the creation
of kernel specific directories is required
[ Impact ]
Boot will be slowed by ~200ms until this is resolved in livecd-rootfs
[ Test Plan ]
* for focal build any cloud image with preseeded snaps with HWE 5.15 kernel
* boot
* run `snap debug seeding`
* assert the test described above passes
[ Where problems could occur ]
* Similar patches already exist for later releases 6.2, 6.5 kernel etc.
and have been used on other private customer kernels and all kernels
released after 22.04, so there is already a good track record for this
patchset and it shouldn't create any issues.
[ Other Info ]
* This is a time-sensitive issue for a paying customer
** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
