We wish to be able to audit when a uid=500 task accesses a file which is uid=0. Or vice versa. This patch introduces a new audit filter type AUDIT_FIELD_COMPARE which takes as an 'enum' which indicates which fields should be compared. At this point we only define the task->uid vs inode->uid, but other comparisons can be added. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted <nhusted@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Just a code cleanup really. We don't need to make a function call just for it to return on error. This also makes the VFS function even easier to follow and removes a conditional on a hot path. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid. Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions. If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in exit,always rules in userspace. The kernel refuses to load such rules. Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork()) can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED. Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will return without doing anything. Thus drop the code.

A number of audit hooks make function calls before they determine that auxilary records do not need to be collected. Do those checks as static inlines since the most common case is going to be that records are not needed and we can skip the function call overhead. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

In the ia32entry syscall exit audit fastpath we have assembly code which calls __audit_syscall_exit directly. This code was, however, zeroes the upper 32 bits of the return code. It then proceeded to call code which expects longs to be 64bits long. In order to handle code which expects longs to be 64bit we sign extend the return code if that code is an error. Thus the __audit_syscall_exit function can correctly handle using the values in snprintf("%ld"). This fixes the regression introduced in 5cbf1565. Old record: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1306197182.256:281): arch=40000003 syscall=192 success=no exit=4294967283 New record: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1306197182.256:281): arch=40000003 syscall=192 success=no exit=-13 Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: H.

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of the device containing the inode being operated upon. Lets say that /dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot. Now lets say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1. If we proceed to open an inode inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter. Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents. We might hope that this would also be logged, but it isn't. The rules will check the major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1. In other words the rule would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev. I believe these rules should trigger on either device. The man page is devoid of useful information about the intended semantics. It only seems logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor that would include things that happened to the device itself... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

This patch does 2 things. First it reduces the number of audit_names allocated in every audit context from 20 to 5. 5 should be enough for all 'normal' syscalls (rename being the worst). Some syscalls can still touch more the 5 inodes such as mount. When rpc filesystem is mounted it will create inodes and those can exceed 5. To handle that problem this patch will dynamically allocate audit_names if it needs more than 5. This should decrease the typicall memory usage while still supporting all the possible kernel operations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit will match against any of the inodes on that list. The filetype matching however had a strange way of doing things. It allowed userspace to indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by the kernel. Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea. As it turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and thus never overloaded the value field. The kernel always checked the first name collected which for the tested rules was always correct. This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode, and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected. It also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types. Noone knew it was there. Noone used it. Why keep around the extra code? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

we need to hold ->wq_mutex while we are forming the packet to send, lest we have autofs4_catatonic_mode() setting wq->name.name to NULL just as autofs4_notify_daemon() decides to memcpy() from it... We do have check for catatonic mode immediately after that (under ->wq_mutex, as it ought to be) and packet won't be actually sent, but it'll be too late for us if we oops on that memcpy() from NULL... Fix is obvious - just extend the area covered by ->wq_mutex over that switch and check whether it's catatonic *before* doing anything else.

We need to recheck ->catatonic after autofs4_wait() got ->wq_mutex for good, or we might end up with wq inserted into queue after autofs4_catatonic_mode() had done its thing. It will stick there forever, since there won't be anything to clear its ->name.name. A bit of a complication: validate_request() drops and regains ->wq_mutex.
