What does this PR do?

Fixes APM inject tests flaking on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 by making verifySharedLib only block installation on fatal crash signals, and removes the now-unnecessary flake marks.

Motivation

The new datadog-apm-inject release (538720e) introduced telemetry code (9c23a97c) that, when the C library is loaded during the pre-write sanity check (verifySharedLib), attempts network/procfs operations that AppArmor blocks on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12. This caused echo 1 to exit with a non-zero code, which the sanity check incorrectly treated the same as a fatal crash — aborting the install entirely.

The original check blocked the install on any non-zero exit from echo 1. But the purpose of verifySharedLib is narrower: prevent a library that sends fatal crash signals (SIGSEGV, SIGABRT) from being written to /etc/ld.so.preload, where it would kill every process on the system. A library that exits non-zero due to a blocked AppArmor syscall does not crash host processes at runtime — it fails gracefully and injection simply doesn't happen.

The TestAppArmor assertion was already fixed separately in #50400. The flake marks added in #50387 can now be removed.

Describe how you validated your changes

  • VerifySharedLib unit tests (TestVerifySharedLib_BuggyLibrary, TestInstrumentLDPreload_BuggyLibrary) updated and passing: a library that sends SIGSEGV still blocks the install; a library that exits non-zero does not.
  • TestAppArmor assertion widened to "not injecting" which matches both the old Go subprocess message and the new C library message.

Additional Notes

The root cause of the non-zero exit belongs in the auto_inject repo (a crashtracker fix ebbfe1b4 exists there but is not yet in a pinned release). This PR makes the agent-side sanity check correctly tolerant of graceful failures while preserving protection against libraries that actually crash host processes.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

I'm not sure about this.

It seems our injector code is actually being blocked by AppArmor (because of telemetry?) so it will make AppArmor block all apps on the system (better than crashing but still unusable).

I'm not sure too, that's why I'm keeping it as a draft to take the time to find a proper fix.
