linux-sun7i incompatible with systemd's "NoNewPrivileges"

[krabat]

systemd Units featuring the "NoNewPrivileges" parameter [0] fail on my Cubietruck running linux-sun7i from the repos. I'm aware that this device isn't officially supported yet but I guess it's rather a kernel- than a device-related problem.

The corresponding error message is
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Failed at step NO_NEW_PRIVILEGES spawning /Path/to/binary: Invalid argument')Problem doesn't affect up-to-date Arch Linux i686 or x86_64 systems.

It doesn't seem to be a big issue, especially as pkgfile-update.service is to my knowledge the only unit in the repos to make use of that parameter for now, and I can't tell whether any measures can / should be taken.
But given the problems that recently arose affecting systemd on this kernel [1,2] I thought it might make some sense to drop this message.

If you're using the latest U-Boot, you can switch to the linux-armv7 kernel. If you don't need video, this will likely work much better for you as it follows mainline. I have little doubt AllWinner will move beyond 3.4, but mainline support is improving rapidly now.
