2006-03-20[PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information.Dustin Kirkland
This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver of an action. These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the appropriate record in the audit code. This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

2006-03-20[PATCH] Exclude messages by message typeDustin Kirkland
- Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude". - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE. - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise. - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before doing a lot of work.

2006-01-18[PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operationsAlan Cox
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block. It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

2005-07-02AUDIT: Stop waiting for backlog after audit_panic() happensDavid Woodhouse
We force a rate-limit on auditable events by making them wait for space on the backlog queue. However, if auditd really is AWOL then this could potentially bring the entire system to a halt, depending on the audit rules in effect. Firstly, make sure the wait time is honoured correctly -- it's the maximum time the process should wait, rather than the time to wait _each_ time round the loop. We were getting re-woken _each_ time a packet was dequeued, and the timeout was being restarted each time. Secondly, reset the wait time after audit_panic() is called. In general this will be reset to zero, to allow progress to be made. If the system is configured to _actually_ panic on audit_panic() then that will already have happened; otherwise we know that audit records are being lost anyway. These two tunables can't be exposed via AUDIT_GET and AUDIT_SET because those aren't particularly well-designed. It probably should have been done by sysctls or sysfs anyway -- one for a later patch.

2005-06-22AUDIT: Wait for backlog to clear when generating messages.David Woodhouse
Add a gfp_mask to audit_log_start() and audit_log(), to reduce the amount of GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- most of it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC. Also if the mask includes __GFP_WAIT, then wait up to 60 seconds for the auditd backlog to clear instead of immediately abandoning the message. The timeout should probably be made configurable, but for now it'll suffice that it only happens if auditd is actually running. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-06-21AUDIT: Spawn kernel thread to list filter rules.David Woodhouse
If we have enough rules to fill the netlink buffer space, it'll deadlock because auditctl isn't ever actually going to read from the socket until we return, and we aren't going to return until it reads... so we spawn a kernel thread to spew out the list and then exit.

2005-05-21AUDIT: Assign serial number to non-syscall messagesDavid Woodhouse

2005-05-19AUDIT: Send netlink messages from a separate kernel threadDavid Woodhouse

2005-05-19AUDIT: Clean up logging of untrusted stringsSteve Grubb
* If vsnprintf returns -1, it will mess up the sk buffer space accounting. This is fixed by not calling skb_put with bogus len values. * audit_log_hex was a loop that called audit_log_vformat with %02X for each character. This is very inefficient since conversion from unsigned character to Ascii representation is essentially masking, shifting, and byte lookups. Also, the length of the converted string is well known - it's twice the original. Fixed by rewriting the function. * audit_log_untrustedstring had no comments. This makes it hard for someone to understand what the string format will be. * audit_log_d_path was never fixed to use untrustedstring. This could mess up user space parsers. This was fixed to make a temp buffer, call d_path, and log temp buffer using untrustedstring. From: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-05-11Add audit_log_typeChris Wright
Add audit_log_type to allow callers to specify type and pid when logging. Convert audit_log to wrapper around audit_log_type. Could have converted all audit_log callers directly, but common case is default of type AUDIT_KERNEL and pid 0. Update audit_log_start to take type and pid values when creating a new audit_buffer. Move sequences that did audit_log_start, audit_log_format, audit_set_type, audit_log_end, to simply call audit_log_type directly. This obsoletes audit_set_type and audit_set_pid, so remove them.

2005-05-06AUDIT: buffer audit msgs directly to skbChris Wright
Drop the use of a tmp buffer in the audit_buffer, and just buffer directly to the skb.

When audit buffer is moved to skb it will not be fragmented across skb's, so we can eliminate the sklist in the audit_buffer. During audit_log_move, we simply copy the full buffer into a single skb, and then audit_log_drain sends it on.

2005-05-06The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon Steve Grubb
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the shutdown. It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a manageable risk. The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks like this: type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 uid=525, auditd pid=1685 Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
