3.16.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Johansen john.johansen@canonical.com
commit 34c426acb75cc21bdf84685e106db0c1a3565057 upstream.
Commit 9f834ec18def ("binfmt_elf: switch to new creds when switching to new mm") changed when the creds are installed by the binfmt_elf handler. This affects which creds are used to mmap the executable into the address space. Which can have an affect on apparmor policy.
Add a flag to apparmor at /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/features/domain/fix_binfmt_elf_mmap
to make it possible to detect this semantic change so that the userspace tools and the regression test suite can correctly deal with the change.
