In trunk revno 2335, a bug was fixed in mod_apparmor that corrected
the storage location for AADefaultHatName. The incorrect storage
caused the hat specified by the AADefaultHatName keyword to be the
default value for AAHatName, and meant that if both an AAHatName and
an AADefaultHatName entry were given in a vhost, mod_apparmor would
not fall back to trying AADefaultHatName if the hat specified in
AAHatName did not exist in the apache apparmor profile.
However, because the value specified in AADefaultHatName was the
default, if no AAHatName was specified, it would be attempted first,
before a hat based on the passed URI, rather than after as the
documentation stated and the code intended. By fixing the storage bug,
the attempted hat ordering now matched the documentation. But a number
of users came to rely on AADefaultHatName being attempted before
the URI. For trunk, this issue is less severe because mod_apparmor
passes a vector of hats to aa_change_hatv(), and thus missing URI
hats are not logged by the kernel apparmor bits. It still represents
a behavioral change to users, though.
This patch re-adjusts the ordering so that the URI-based hat is
attempted after the hat specified by AADefaultHatName is attempted,
thus maintaining the actual behavior before the bug addressed in
revno 2335 was fixed.

Description: update mod_apparmor man page for Apache 2.4 and add new
apparmor.d/usr.sbin.apache2 profile (based on the prefork profile)

Differs from original 0036-libapache2-mod-apparmor-profile-2.4.patch
ubuntu patch -- I've deleted the "delete the apache 2.2 profile" part of
the patch. So apache 2.2's profile is also still supported.

This patch makes the default value for AADefaultHatName be the
server/vhost name, which can be specified in apache via the ServerName
configuration declaration. It can be overridden by setting
AADefaultHatName directly. Thus, with this patch applied, the order of
attempted hats will be:
1. try to aa_change_hat(2) into a matching AAHatName hat if it exists
and applies, otherwise
2. try to aa_change_hat(2) into the URI itself, otherwise
3. try to aa_change_hat(2) into the value of ServerName, unless
AADefaultHatName has been explicitly set for this server/vhost, in
which case that value will be used, otherwise
4. try to aa_change_hat(2) into the DEFAULT_URI hat, if it exists,
otherwise
5. fall back to the global Apache policy
This should eliminate the need for most admins to define both
ServerName and AADefaultHatName, unless there's a specific need for
the values to deviate.
Man page documentation is updated as well, though probably more
wordsmithing is needed there for clarity.
