After the kernel roll to linux-gcp-5.15 to version 5.15.0-1051.59_20.04.1 the public cloud team pre publication test were failing on our snap_preseed_optimized test which checks to ensure that snaps are preseeded correctly
This test checks the output of `snap debug seeding` to assert `seed-completion` is present and not empty.
If `/var/lib/snapd/seed/seed.yaml` exists it also asserts that `preseeded` is present and not empty.
With the recent kernel update this test is failing which indicates a kernel feature mismatch between
the running kernel and the feature set hard-coded in livecd-rootfs for this image.
Boot will be slowed by ~200ms until this is resolved in livecd-rootfs.
This solution is to add a 5.15 apparmor configuration to the focal branch of livecd-rootfs
Boot will be slowed by ~200ms until this is resolved in livecd-rootfs
[ Test Plan ]
* build any focal cloud image with HWE 5.15 kernel
* boot
* run `snap debug preseed`
* 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
