Subject: [PATCH 3.16 201/202] apparmor: provide userspace flag indicating
 binfmt_elf_mmap change

3.16.66-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John Johansen <john.johansen@...onical.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.
