The 3.13 kernel for Precise ESM does not provide the expected version number

[Po-Hsu Lin]

The linux-generic-lts-trusty meta package on Precise will give you:
  linux-base linux-headers-3.13.0-172 linux-headers-3.13.0-172-generic
  linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-3.13.0-172-generic
  linux-image-generic-lts-trusty linux-modules-3.13.0-172-generic

And the kernel version returned from uname -a shows:
  Linux precise-testing 3.13.0-172-generic #1-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 6 10:46:56 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is breaking the automation as we're expecting the kernel version:
  3.13.0-172.223~12.04.1

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 1838610

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'.

It does appear for other series we include the ~12.04.1 bit in the uname -a output:

    Linux kowtow-b64 5.0.0-21-generic #22~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 4 17:25:00 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But it is likely best to use /proc/version_signature in preference to this.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Andy suggest us to use "cat /proc/version_signature"

This command on this Precise node shows:
Ubuntu 3.13.0-172.223~12.04.1-generic 3.13.11-ckt39

This looks more reliable than the "uname -vr"

Testing a workaround on KT.

He also found the bug that cause this issue.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

As we're just deploying P-ESM with KT

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/kernel-testing.git/commit/?id=282ad5cf5f69db715359b5b32335491ca7bf6de4

I think this will be fixed in the kernel, but as fix applied to the tool, marking this as fix-released.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Not sure if this should be "Invalid" for kernel itself. Re-open it.

This is affecting the SRU test this cycle with bug 1849079
