fixes #8246 PostgreSQL 18 introduced stricter NUMA page-inquiry permissions for the `pg_shmem_allocations_numa` view. Without the required kernel capabilities, the test fails with: ``` ERROR: failed NUMA pages inquiry status: Operation not permitted ``` This PR updates our test containers to include the necessary privileges: * Adds `--cap-add=SYS_NICE` and `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` When PostgreSQL’s new NUMA views (`pg_shmem_allocations_numa`, `pg_buffercache_numa`) run, they call `move_pages()` to ask the kernel which NUMA node holds each shared memory page. https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=8cc139bec That syscall (`move_pages()`) requires `CAP_SYS_NICE` when inspecting another process. So: `--cap-add=SYS_NICE` grants the container permission to perform that NUMA page query. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/move_pages.2.html#:~:text=must%20be%20privileged%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20(-,CAP_SYS_NICE,-)%20or%20the%20real `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` Docker containers still run under a seccomp filter which a kernel-level sandbox that blocks many system calls entirely for safety. The default Docker seccomp profile blocks `move_pages()` outright, because it can expose kernel memory layout information. https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/seccomp/#:~:text=You%20can%20pass-,unconfined,-to%20run%20a **In combination** Both flags are required for NUMA introspection inside a container: - `SYS_NICE` → permission - `seccomp=unconfined` → ability |
