There are many places, notably audit_log_task_info() and
audit_log_exit(), that take task_struct pointers but in reality they
are always working on the current task. This patch eliminates the
task_struct arguments and uses current directly which allows a number

to features.
Notable changes include the ability to use the "exe" audit filter

The variable 'context->module.name' may be null pointer when

to avoid null dereference.
Another one more thing this patch does is using kstrdup instead
of (kmalloc + strcpy), and signal a lost record via audit_log_lost.

Commit c72051d577 ("audit: use ktime_get_coarse_ts64() for time
access") converted audit's use of current_kernel_time64() to the
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()
wrapper.

The audit_filter_rules() function in auditsc.c used the in_[e]group_p()
functions to check GID/EGID match, but these functions use the current
task's credentials, while the comparison should use the credentials of
the task given to audit_filter_rules() as a parameter (tsk).
Note that we can use group_search(cred->group_info, ...) as a
replacement for both in_group_p and in_egroup_p as these functions only
compare the parameter to cred->fsgid/egid and then call group_search.
In fact, the usage of in_group_p was even more incorrect: it compares to
cred->fsgid (which is usually equal to cred->egid) and not cred->gid.

Seccomp logging for "handled" actions such as RET_TRAP, RET_TRACE, or
RET_ERRNO can be very noisy for processes that are being audited. This
patch modifies the seccomp logging behavior to treat processes that are
being inspected via the audit subsystem the same as processes that
aren't under inspection. Handled actions will no longer be logged just
because the process is being inspected. Since v4.14, applications have
the ability to request logging of handled actions by using the
SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG flag when loading seccomp filters.
With this patch, the logic for deciding if an action will be logged is:
if action == RET_ALLOW:
do not log
else if action not in actions_logged:
do not log
else if action == RET_KILL:
log
else if action == RET_LOG:
log
else if filter-requests-logging:
log

The decision to log a seccomp action will always be subject to the
value of the kernel.seccomp.actions_logged sysctl, even for processes
that are being inspected via the audit subsystem, in an upcoming patch.
Therefore, we need to emit an audit record on attempts at writing to the
actions_logged sysctl when auditing is enabled.
This patch updates the write handler for the actions_logged sysctl to
emit an audit record on attempts to write to the sysctl. Successful
writes to the sysctl will result in a record that includes a normalized
list of logged actions in the "actions" field and a "res" field equal to
1. Unsuccessful writes to the sysctl will result in a record that
doesn't include the "actions" field and has a "res" field equal to 0.
Not all unsuccessful writes to the sysctl are audited. For example, an
audit record will not be emitted if an unprivileged process attempts to
open the sysctl file for reading since that access control check is not
part of the sysctl's write handler.
Below are some example audit records when writing various strings to the
actions_logged sysctl.
Writing "not-a-real-action", when the kernel.seccomp.actions_logged
sysctl previously was "kill_process kill_thread trap errno trace log",
emits this audit record:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1525392371.454:120): op=seccomp-logging
actions=? old-actions=kill_process,kill_thread,trap,errno,trace,log
res=0
If you then write "kill_process kill_thread errno trace log", this audit
record is emitted:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1525392401.645:126): op=seccomp-logging
actions=kill_process,kill_thread,errno,trace,log
old-actions=kill_process,kill_thread,trap,errno,trace,log res=1
If you then write "log log errno trace kill_process kill_thread", which
is unordered and contains the log action twice, it results in the same
actions value as the previous record:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1525392436.354:132): op=seccomp-logging
actions=kill_process,kill_thread,errno,trace,log
old-actions=kill_process,kill_thread,errno,trace,log res=1
If you then write an empty string to the sysctl, this audit record is
emitted:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1525392494.413:138): op=seccomp-logging
actions=(none) old-actions=kill_process,kill_thread,errno,trace,log
res=1
No audit records are generated when reading the actions_logged sysctl.

audit: initialize the audit subsystem as early as possible
audit: ensure that 'audit=1' actually enables audit for PID 1
Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of PATH records to
be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a
few modules when the following rule was in place for startup:
-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load
Provide a method to ignore these large number of PATH records from
overwhelming the logs if they are not of interest. Introduce a new
filter list "AUDIT_FILTER_FS", with a new field type AUDIT_FSTYPE,
which keys off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic identifier to
filter specific filesystem PATH records.
An example rule would look like:
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x74726163 -F key=ignore_tracefs
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x64626720 -F key=ignore_debugfs
Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable tracefs and
debugfs on boot from production systems.

The fanotify interface allows user space daemons to make access
control decisions. Under common criteria requirements, we need to
optionally record decisions based on policy. This patch adds a bit mask,
FAN_AUDIT, that a user space daemon can 'or' into the response decision
which will tell the kernel that it made a decision and record it.
It would be used something like this in user space code:
response.response = FAN_DENY | FAN_AUDIT;
write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response));
When the syscall ends, the audit system will record the decision as a
AUDIT_FANOTIFY auxiliary record to denote that the reason this event
occurred is the result of an access control decision from fanotify
rather than DAC or MAC policy.
A sample event looks like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): item=0 name="./evil-ls"
inode=1319561 dev=fc:03 mode=0100755 ouid=1000 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00

s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): resp=2
Prior to using the audit flag, the developer needs to call
fanotify_init or'ing in FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT to ensure that the kernel
supports auditing. The calling process must also have the CAP_AUDIT_WRITE
capability.

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

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;

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.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Replace
all uses of timespec by y2038 safe struct timespec64.
Even though timespec is used here to represent timeouts,
replace these with timespec64 so that it facilitates
in verification by creating a y2038 safe kernel image
that is free of timespec.
The syscall interfaces themselves are not changed as part

Currently we free fsnotify_mark_connector structure only when inode /
vfsmount is getting freed. This can however impose noticeable memory
overhead when marks get attached to inodes only temporarily. So free the
connector structure once the last mark is detached from the object.
Since notification infrastructure can be working with the connector
under the protection of fsnotify_mark_srcu, we have to be careful and
free the fsnotify_mark_connector only after SRCU period passes.

Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by
a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in
the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks,
the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting
inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we
must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and
mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for
response to fanotify events from userspace process with
fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process
is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole
notification subsystem gets eventually stuck.
So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for
response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in
the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to
lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't
want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system
just locking up elsewhere.
This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving
these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks
directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure
(fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the
object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list
and object pointer to the structure.

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.

"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"

audit: fix some horrible switch statement style crimes
audit: fixup: log on errors from filter user rules
There is a double fetch problem in audit_log_single_execve_arg()
where we first check the execve(2) argumnets for any "bad" characters
which would require hex encoding and then re-fetch the arguments for
logging in the audit record[1]. Of course this leaves a window of
opportunity for an unsavory application to munge with the data.
This patch reworks things by only fetching the argument data once[2]
into a buffer where it is scanned and logged into the audit
records(s). In addition to fixing the double fetch, this patch
improves on the original code in a few other ways: better handling
of large arguments which require encoding, stricter record length
checking, and some performance improvements (completely unverified,
but we got rid of some strlen() calls, that's got to be a good
thing).
As part of the development of this patch, I've also created a basic
regression test for the audit-testsuite, the test can be tracked on
GitHub at the following link:
* https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-testsuite/issues/25
[1] If you pay careful attention, there is actually a triple fetch
problem due to a strnlen_user() call at the top of the function.
[2] This is a tiny white lie, we do make a call to strnlen_user()
prior to fetching the argument data. I don't like it, but due to the
way the audit record is structured we really have no choice unless we
copy the entire argument at once (which would require a rather
wasteful allocation). The good news is that with this patch the
kernel no longer relies on this strnlen_user() value for anything
beyond recording it in the log, we also update it with a trustworthy
value whenever possible.
