Commit c72051d577 ("audit: use ktime_get_coarse_ts64() for time

new ktime_get_coarse_ts64() function. Unfortunately this resulted
in incorrect timestamps, e.g. events stamped with the year 1969
despite it being 2018. This patch corrects this by using
ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64() just like the current_kernel_time64()

Prior to this patch we enabled audit in audit_init(), which is too
late for PID 1 as the standard initcalls are run after the PID 1 task

generated by PID 1.
This patch enables audit as early as possible to help ensure that when
PID 1 is forked it can allocate an audit_context if required.

Commit 2115bb250f ("audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps")
noted that audit timestamps were not y2038 safe and used a 64-bit
timestamp. In itself, this makes sense but the conversion was from
CURRENT_TIME to ktime_get_real_ts64() which is a heavier call to record
an accurate timestamp which is required in some, but not all, cases. The
impact is that when auditd is running without any rules that all syscalls
have higher overhead. This is visible in the sysbench-thread benchmark as
a 11.5% performance hit. That benchmark is dumb as rocks but it's also
visible in redis as an 8-10% hit on all operations which is of greater
concern. It is somewhat stupid of audit to track syscalls without any
rules related to syscalls but that is how it behaves.
The overhead can be directly measured with perf comparing 4.9 with 4.12

Note the additional overhead from read_tsc which goes from 0% to 5.95%.
This is on a single-socket E3-1230 but similar overheads have been measured
on an older machine which the patch also eliminates.
The patch in question has no explanation as to why a fully-accurate timestamp
is required and is likely an oversight. Using a coarser, but monotically
increasing, timestamp the overhead can be eliminated. While it can be
worked around by configuring or disabling audit, it's tricky enough to
detect that a kernel fix is justified. With this patch, we see the following;
sysbenchthread
4.9.0 4.12.0 4.12.0
vanilla vanilla coarse-v1r1
Amean 1 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.66 ( -11.42%) 1.51 ( -1.34%)
Amean 3 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.45%) 1.50 ( -0.96%)
Amean 5 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.67 ( -12.31%) 1.51 ( -1.83%)
Amean 7 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.66 ( -11.72%) 1.50 ( -0.67%)
Amean 12 1.48 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.57%) 1.52 ( -2.89%)
Amean 16 1.49 ( 0.00%) 1.65 ( -11.13%) 1.51 ( -1.73%)
The benchmark is reporting the time required for different thread counts to
lock/unlock a private mutex which, while dense, demonstrates the syscall
overhead. This is showing that 4.12 took a 11-12% hit but the overhead is
almost eliminated by the patch. While the variance is not reported here,
it's well within the noise with the patch applied.

not flushing the main backlog queue on a connection reset, the main

Originally reported by Adam and Dusty, it appears we have a small
race window in kauditd_thread(), as documented in the Fedora BZ:
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1459326#c35
"This issue is partly due to the read-copy nature of RCU, and
partly due to how we sync the auditd_connection state across
kauditd_thread and the audit control channel. The kauditd_thread
thread is always running so it can service the record queues and
emit the multicast messages, if it happens to be just past the
"main_queue" label, but before the "if (sk == NULL || ...)"
if-statement which calls auditd_reset() when the new auditd
connection is registered it could end up resetting the auditd
connection, regardless of if it is valid or not. This is a rather
small window and the variable nature of multi-core scheduling
explains why this is proving rather difficult to reproduce."
The fix is to have functions only call auditd_reset() when they
believe that the kernel/auditd connection is still valid, e.g.
non-NULL, and to have these callers pass their local copy of the
auditd_connection pointer to auditd_reset() where it can be compared
with the current connection state before resetting. If the caller
has a stale state tracking pointer then the reset is ignored.
We also make a small change to kauditd_thread() so that if the
kernel/auditd connection is dead we skip the retry queue and send the
records straight to the hold queue. This is necessary as we used to
rely on auditd_reset() to occasionally purge the retry queue but we
are going to be calling the reset function much less now and we want
to make sure the retry queue doesn't grow unbounded.

The retry queue is intended to provide a temporary buffer in the case
of transient errors when communicating with auditd, it is not meant
as a long life queue, that functionality is provided by the hold
queue.
This patch fixes a problem identified by Seth where the retry queue
could grow uncontrollably if an auditd instance did not connect to
the kernel to drain the queues. This commit fixes this by doing the
following:
* Make sure we always call auditd_reset() if we decide the connection
with audit is really dead. There were some cases in
kauditd_hold_skb() where we did not reset the connection, this patch
relocates the reset calls to kauditd_thread() so all the error
conditions are caught and the connection reset. As a side effect,
this means we could move auditd_reset() and get rid of the forward
definition at the top of kernel/audit.c.
* We never checked the status of the auditd connection when
processing the main audit queue which meant that the retry queue
could grow unchecked. This patch adds a call to auditd_reset()
after the main queue has been processed if auditd is not connected,
the auditd_reset() call will make sure the retry and hold queues are
correctly managed/flushed so that the retry queue remains reasonable.

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.

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

The backlog queue handling in audit_log_start() is a little odd with
some questionable design decisions, this patch attempts to rectify
this with the following changes:
* Never make auditd wait, ignore any backlog limits as we need auditd
awake so it can drain the backlog queue.
* When we hit a backlog limit and start dropping records, don't wake
all the tasks sleeping on the backlog, that's silly. Instead, let
kauditd_thread() take care of waking everyone once it has had a chance
to drain the backlog queue.
* Don't keep a global backlog timeout countdown, make it per-task. A
per-task timer means we won't have all the sleeping tasks waking at
the same time and hammering on an already stressed backlog queue.

The audit record backlog queue has always been a bit of a mess, and
the moving the multicast send into kauditd_thread() from
audit_log_end() only makes things worse. This patch attempts to fix
the backlog queue with a better design that should hold up better
under load and have less of a performance impact at syscall
invocation time.
While it looks like there is a log going on in this patch, the main
change is the move from a single backlog queue to three queues:
* A queue for holding records generated from audit_log_end() that
haven't been consumed by kauditd_thread() (audit_queue).
* A queue for holding records that have been sent via multicast but
had a temporary failure when sending via unicast and need a resend
(audit_retry_queue).
* A queue for holding records that haven't been sent via unicast
because no one is listening (audit_hold_queue).
Special care is taken in this patch to ensure that the proper
record ordering is preserved, e.g. we send everything in the hold
queue first, then the retry queue, and finally the main queue.

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
There are 2 reasons to do so:
1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.
2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.
void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}
roughly translates to
movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g
MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:
static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}
And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]
However, overall balance is in negative direction:

Nothing prevents a new auditd starting up and replacing a valid
audit_pid when an old auditd is still running, effectively starving out
the old auditd since audit_pid no longer points to the old valid
auditd.
If no message to auditd has been attempted since auditd died
unnaturally or got killed, audit_pid will still indicate it is alive.
There isn't an easy way to detect if an old auditd is still running on
the existing audit_pid other than attempting to send a message to see
if it fails. An -ECONNREFUSED almost certainly means it disappeared
and can be replaced. Other errors are not so straightforward and may
indicate transient problems that will resolve themselves and the old
auditd will recover. Yet others will likely need manual intervention
for which a new auditd will not solve the problem.
Send a new message type (AUDIT_REPLACE) to the old auditd containing a
u32 with the PID of the new auditd. If the audit replace message
succeeds (or doesn't fail with certainty), fail to register the new
auditd and return an error (-EEXIST).
This is expected to make the patch preventing an old auditd orphaning a
new auditd redundant.

Thus the tests around their calls are not needed.

After auditd has recovered from an overflowed queue, the first process
that doesn't use reserves to make it through the queue checks should
reset the audit backlog wait time to the configured value. After that,
there is no need to keep resetting it.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

There are several reports of the kernel losing contact with auditd when
it is, in fact, still running. When this happens, kernel syslogs show:
"audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=<pid>"
although auditd is still running, and is apparently happy, listening on
the netlink socket. The pid in the "*NO* daemon" message matches the pid
of the running auditd process. Restarting auditd solves this.
The problem appears to happen randomly, and doesn't seem to be strongly
correlated to the rate of audit events being logged. The problem
happens fairly regularly (every few days), but not yet reproduced to
order.
On production kernels, BUG_ON() is a no-op, so any error will trigger
this.
Commit 34eab0a7cd ("audit: prevent an older auditd shutdown from
orphaning a newer auditd startup") eliminates one possible cause. This
isn't the case here, since the PID in the error message and the PID of
the running auditd match.
The primary expected cause of error here is -ECONNREFUSED when the audit
daemon goes away, when netlink_getsockbyportid() can't find the auditd
portid entry in the netlink audit table (or there is no receive
function). If -EPERM is returned, that situation isn't likely to be
resolved in a timely fashion without administrator intervention. In
both cases, reset the audit_pid. This does not rule out a race
condition. SELinux is expected to return zero since this isn't an INET
or INET6 socket. Other LSMs may have other return codes. Log the error
code for better diagnosis in the future.
In the case of -ENOMEM, the situation could be temporary, based on local
or general availability of buffers. -EAGAIN should never happen since
the netlink audit (kernel) socket is set to MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT.
-ERESTARTSYS and -EINTR are not expected since this kernel thread is not
expected to receive signals. In these cases (or any other unexpected
ones for now), report the error and re-schedule the thread, retrying up
to 5 times.
v2:
Removed BUG_ON().
Moved comma in pr_*() statements.
Removed audit_strerror() text.

"This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history,
consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes.
The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable"
functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the

application by PID, which has some obvious limitations.
Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few
minor cleanups"

The mm->exe_file is currently serialized with mmap_sem (shared)
in order to both safely (1) read the file and (2) audit it via
audit_log_d_path(). Good users will, on the other hand, make use
of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding
the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting
to make sure that the exe file won't dissapear underneath us.
Additionally, upon NULL return of get_mm_exe_file, we also call
audit_log_format(ab, " exe=(null)").
