Status

Ready for review

Description of Changes

Fixes #4098.

Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • fix AppArmor profile for haveged (enable rw to its pid file)
  • ensure that AppArmor service starts prior to haveged so haveged runs confined on boot

Testing

(the trusty CI staging job and the testinfra test modified in this PR should sufficiently test for trusty)

Xenial

  • make staging-xenial completes without error
  • sudo aa-status reports 0 processes running unconfined

Deployment

Enforcing this via ansible playbook since they will be ran as part of the Xenial upgrade

Checklist

If you made changes to the system configuration:

If you made non-trivial code changes:

  • I have written a test plan and validated it for this PR

There were two issues causing haveged to run unconfined on Xenial:

1. The AppArmor profile needed updating to whitelist rw for the PID
file that haveged uses [0].
2. The haveged service needed to be configured to start running only
after AppArmor is running [1, 2].
