audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c

2017-03-27T18:30:06Z

Commit 5b52330bbfe6 ("audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state tracking") made inlining audit_signal_info() a bit pointless as it was always calling into auditd_test_task() so let's remove the inline function in kernel/audit.h and convert __audit_signal_info() in kernel/auditsc.c into audit_signal_info().

audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state tracking

2017-03-21T15:26:35Z

What started as a rather straightforward race condition reported by Dmitry using the syzkaller fuzzer ended up revealing some major problems with how the audit subsystem managed its netlink sockets and its connection with the userspace audit daemon. Fixing this properly had quite the cascading effect and what we are left with is this rather large and complicated patch. My initial goal was to try and decompose this patch into multiple smaller patches, but the way these changes are intertwined makes it difficult to split these changes into meaningful pieces that don't break or somehow make things worse for the intermediate states. The patch makes a number of changes, but the most significant are highlighted below: * The auditd tracking variables, e.g. audit_sock, are now gone and replaced by a RCU/spin_lock protected variable auditd_conn which is a structure containing all of the auditd tracking information. * We no longer track the auditd sock directly, instead we track it via the network namespace in which it resides and we use the audit socket associated with that namespace. In spirit, this is what the code was trying to do prior to this patch (at least I think that is what the original authors intended), but it was done rather poorly and added a layer of obfuscation that only masked the underlying problems. * Big backlog queue cleanup, again. In v4.10 we made some pretty big changes to how the audit backlog queues work, here we haven't changed the queue design so much as cleaned up the implementation. Brought about by the locking changes, we've simplified kauditd_thread() quite a bit by consolidating the queue handling into a new helper function, kauditd_send_queue(), which allows us to eliminate a lot of very similar code and makes the looping logic in kauditd_thread() clearer. * All netlink messages sent to auditd are now sent via auditd_send_unicast_skb(). Other than just making sense, this makes the lock handling easier. * Change the audit_log_start() sleep behavior so that we never sleep on auditd events (unchanged) or if the caller is holding the audit_cmd_mutex (changed). Previously we didn't sleep if the caller was auditd or if the message type fell between a certain range; the type check was a poor effort of doing what the cmd_mutex check now does. Richard Guy Briggs originally proposed not sleeping the cmd_mutex owner several years ago but his patch wasn't acceptable at the time. At least the idea lives on here. * A problem with the lost record counter has been resolved. Steve Grubb and I both happened to notice this problem and according to some quick testing by Steve, this problem goes back quite some time. It's largely a harmless problem, although it may have left some careful sysadmins quite puzzled. Cc: # 4.10.x- Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "The audit changes for v4.11 are relatively small compared to what we did for v4.10, both in terms of size and impact. - two patches from Steve tweak the formatting for some of the audit records to make them more consistent with other audit records. - three patches from Richard record the name of a module on module load, fix the logging of sockaddr information when using socketcall() on 32-bit systems, and add the ability to reset audit's lost record counter. - my lone patch just fixes an annoying style nit that I was reminded about by one of Richard's patches.

audit: log module name on init_module

This adds a new auxiliary record MODULE_INIT to the SYSCALL event. We get finit_module for free since it made most sense to hook this in to load_module(). https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/7 https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/wiki/RFE-Module-Load-Record-Format Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs Acked-by: Jessica Yu [PM: corrected links in the commit description] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger pile for v4.10. The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd). While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id"). The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering support" * 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sock netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/message audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with grace audit: wake up kauditd_thread after auditd registers audit: rework audit_log_start() audit: rework the audit queue handling audit: rename the queues and kauditd related functions audit: queue netlink multicast sends just like we do for unicast sends audit: fixup audit_init() audit: move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init (#2) audit: add support for session ID user filter audit: fix formatting of AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing audit: tame initialization warning len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info audit: less stack usage for /proc/*/loginuid

audit: Make AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event normalized

2016-12-14T21:00:13Z

The audit event specification asks for certain fields to exist in all events. Running 'ausearch -m anom_abend -sv yes' returns no events. This patch adds the result field so that the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event conforms to the rules. Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

audit: add support for session ID user filter

2016-11-29T20:10:12Z

Define AUDIT_SESSIONID in the uapi and add support for specifying user filters based on the session ID. Also add the new session ID filter to the feature bitmap so userspace knows it is available. https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/4 RFE: add a session ID filter to the kernel's user filter Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs [PM: combine multiple patches from Richard into this one] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing

2016-11-20T20:28:22Z

The value (unsigned int)-1 is used as a sentinel to indicate the sessionID is unset. Skip this value when the session_id value wraps. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

2016-11-14T20:18:48Z

Tame initialization warning of len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info even though there isn't presently a bug introduced by commit 43761473c254 ("audit: fix a double fetch in audit_log_single_execve_arg()").
