Title:
  apparmor: no working rule to allow making a mount private

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When the file system is mounted as MS_SHARED by default (such as under
  systemd, or when the admin configures it so), things like schroot or
  LXC need to make their "guest" mounts private. This currently fails
  under utopic:

  $ sudo lxc-create -t busybox -n c1
  $ sudo mount --make-rshared /
  $ sudo strace -fvvs1024 -e mount  lxc-start -n c1
  [...]
  [pid 10749] mount(NULL, "/", NULL, MS_SLAVE, NULL) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
  lxc-start: Permission denied - Failed to make / rslave

  dmesg says:
  audit: type=1400 audit(1406825005.687:551): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mo
  unt" info="failed flags match" error=-13 profile="/usr/bin/lxc-start" name="/" pid=8228 co
  mm="lxc-start" flags="rw, slave"

  (This happens for all mount points on your system, I'm just showing
  the first one)

  This will leave a couple of leaked mounts on your system. THis is an
  useful rune to clean them up:

  $ for i in 1 2 3; do sudo umount `mount|grep lxc|awk '{print $3}'`;
  done

  (needs to be done several times; check with "mount |grep lxc" that
  it's clean)

  I tried to allow that by adding this to
  /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/lxc/start-container:

    mount options=(rw, slave) -> **,

  then reload the policy and rety with

  $ sudo stop lxc; sudo start lxc; sudo lxc-start -n c1

  (and again clean up the mounts with above rune)

  I tried some variations of this, like

    mount options in (rw, slave, rslave, shared, rshared) -> **,

  but none of them worked. The only things that do work are one of

    mount,
    mount -> **,

  but those are too lax to be an effestive security restriction.
