1714101 – RHEL 7.7 PCP Upgrade issues

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marko Myllynen 2019-05-27 06:44:21 UTC

Description of problem:
Upgrading to latest RHEL 7 PCP package pcp-4.3.2-2.el7 gives several issues.

1) During installation/upgrade of pcp-selinux:

Updating / installing...
   1:pcp-selinux-4.3.2-2.el7          ################################# [100%]
Failed to resolve allow statement at /etc/selinux/targeted/tmp/modules/400/pcpupstream/cil:83
semodule:  Failed!

On dmesg we see these corresponding messages:

[  141.461377] SELinux: 2048 avtab hash slots, 112449 rules.
[  141.493590] SELinux: 2048 avtab hash slots, 112449 rules.
[  141.512245] SELinux:  8 users, 14 roles, 5036 types, 318 bools, 1 sens, 1024 cats
[  141.512248] SELinux:  129 classes, 112449 rules
[  141.515473] SELinux:  Class bpf not defined in policy.
[  141.515474] SELinux: the above unknown classes and permissions will be allowed

2) pmie_check.service is for some reason static unlike other PCP services:

pmie_check.service                            static
pmlogger_check.service                        disabled

Not sure which one is the correct but since everything else is non-static perhaps also change pmie_check.service to be so as well.

3) Stopping PCP services takes few seconds but this is probably still within tolerable range so could be left as is:

# time systemctl stop pmcd pmlogger pmie pmwebd pmmgr pmproxy
systemctl stop pmcd pmlogger pmie pmwebd pmmgr pmproxy  0.02s user 0.04s system 1% cpu 4.329 total

4) There are now tons of PCP SELinux AVCs (I haven't investigated these in detail, many of them are probably fixed in upstream already):

Comment 6 Nathan Scott 2019-06-04 00:44:56 UTC

I believe a PCP rebuild adding dependencies matching latest 7.7 selinux policy should resolve this.

Comment 18 Nathan Scott 2019-06-27 07:21:56 UTC

*** Bug 1724074 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 19 Klaas Demter 2019-08-07 09:10:31 UTC

This is creating an error message during every rhel 7.7 update where pcp is installed.

Comment 20 Phil Randal 2019-08-07 12:21:24 UTC

Before attempting to update to 7.7

yum update selinux-policy

If the update's on a schedule, and you couldn't intervene in time,

yum reinstall pcp-selinux

after the update to 7.7 should fix it
