[LTP] [PATCH] coredump01: Skip pipe core_pattern under SELinux enforcing

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Avinesh, all,

> Hi Avinesh,

FYI I was not able to reproduce the problem on 2 older Tumbleweed versions:

$ getenforce
Enforcing

$ uname -r
7.2.0-1-default # Tumbleweed VERSION="20260826"
6.17.0 # Tumbleweed VERSION="20250310"

$ cat /proc/cmdline
... security=selinux selinux=1 ...


$ rpm -qa |grep -i selinux # Tumbleweed VERSION="20260826"
libselinux1-3.8-2.2.x86_64
libselinux-devel-3.8-2.2.x86_64
selinux-tools-3.8-2.2.x86_64
python313-selinux-3.8-2.3.x86_64
selinux-autorelabel-4.0+git7-1.2.x86_64
selinux-policy-20250305-1.2.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-20250305-1.2.noarch
container-selinux-2.234.2-1.2.noarch
patterns-base-selinux-20241218-5.1.x86_64
libselinux1-32bit-3.8-2.2.x86_64

coredump01.c:72: TPASS: core.%e.%p.%s expanded to core.coredump01.893495.6 passed
coredump01.c:57: TPASS: Expect: /tmp/LTP_corqUjmUe/core.coredump01.893495.6 starts with ELF magic
coredump01.c:58: TPASS: e_type == ET_CORE (4)
coredump01.c:126: TINFO: Testing pipe core_pattern
coredump01.c:107: TPASS: exe == "coredump01" (coredump01)
coredump01.c:108: TPASS: pid_seen == pid (893496)
coredump01.c:109: TPASS: sig_seen == SIGABRT (6)
coredump01.c:110: TPASS: Expect: coredump01_helper read 598016 bytes of ELF core dump
coredump01.c:111: TPASS: et_core == 1 (1)

Because we have these tests failing in our openQA testing it's a real problem.
I just wonder what setup / version bump caused it. I try to update my VM to see
if I'm able to reproduce it locally.

Kind regards,
Petr
