Remove audit_context from struct task_struct and struct audit_buffer
when CONFIG_AUDIT is enabled but CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not.
Also, audit_log_name() (and supporting inode and fcaps functions) should
have been put back in auditsc.c when soft and hard link logging was
normalized since it is only used by syscall auditing.

Don't fetch fcaps when umount2 is called to avoid a process hang while
it waits for the missing resource to (possibly never) re-appear.
Note the comment above user_path_mountpoint_at():
* A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
* in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem. We
* simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint
* and avoid revalidating the last component.
This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

Tie syscall information to all CONFIG_CHANGE calls since they are all a
result of user actions.
Exclude user records from syscall context:
Since the function audit_log_common_recv_msg() is shared by a number of
AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE and the entire range of AUDIT_USER_* record types,
and since the AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE message type has been converted to a
syscall accompanied record type, special-case the AUDIT_USER_* range of
messages so they remain standalone records.

The failure to add an audit rule due to audit locked gives no clue
what CONFIG_CHANGE operation failed.
Similarly the set operation is the only other operation that doesn't
give the "op=" field to indicate the action.
All other CONFIG_CHANGE records include an op= field to give a clue as
to what sort of configuration change is being executed.
Since these are the only CONFIG_CHANGE records that that do not have an
op= field, add them to bring them in line with the rest.
Old records:
type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1519812997.781:374): pid=610 uid=0 auid=0 ses=1 subj=... audit_enabled=2 res=0

Since the vast majority of files (99.993% on a typical system) have no
fcaps, display "0" instead of the full zero-padded 16 hex digits in the
two PATH record cap_f* fields to save netlink bandwidth and disk space.
Simply changing the format to %x won't work since the value is two (or
possibly more in the future) 32-bit hexadecimal values concatenated and
bits in higher order values will be misrepresented.

Commit c72051d5778a ("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_TYPE name is vague and misleading due to not describing
where or when the filter is applied and obsolete due to its available
filter fields having been expanded.
Userspace has already renamed it from AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE to
AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE without checking if it already exists. The
userspace maintainer assures that as long as it is set to the same value
it will not be a problem since the userspace code does not treat
compiler warnings as errors. If this policy changes then checks if it
already exists can be added at the same time.

If you pass in an invalid audit boot parameter value, e.g. "audit=off",
the kernel panics very early in boot before the regular console is
initialized. Unless you have earlyprintk enabled, there is no
indication of what the problem is on the console.
Convert the panic() calls to pr_err(), and leave auditing enabled if an
invalid parameter value was passed in.
Modify the parameter to also accept "on" or "off" as valid values, and
update the documentation accordingly.

Evidently the __mutex_owner() function was never intended for use
outside the core mutex code, so build a thing locking wrapper around
the mutex code which allows us to track the mutex owner.
One, arguably positive, side effect is that this allows us to hide
the audit_cmd_mutex inside of kernel/audit.c behind the lock/unlock
functions.

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
is forked. This means that we never allocate an audit_context (see
audit_alloc()) for PID 1 and therefore miss a lot of audit events
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 2115bb250f26 ("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.

When the auditd connection is reset, either intentionally or due to
a failure, any records that were in the main backlog queue would not
be sent in a multicast broadcast. This patch fixes this problem by
not flushing the main backlog queue on a connection reset, the main
kauditd_thread() will take care of that normally.

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 cap_* fields swing in and out of PATH records.
If no capabilities are set, the cap_* fields are completely missing and when
one of the cap_fi or cap_fp values is empty, that field is omitted.
Original:
type=PATH msg=audit(04/20/2017 12:17:11.222:193) : item=1 name=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 inode=787694 dev=08:03 mode=file,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL

Normalize the PATH record by always printing all 4 cap_* fields.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes,
new features, and internal cleanups.
We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from
atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of
pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard
kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and
normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier.
From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd
connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll
take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many
people (only one report).
I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty
good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important
so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if
you have any questions you know where to find us.
We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that
always makes me happy :)"
* 'stable-4.12' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection structure
audit: use kmem_cache to manage the audit_buffer cache
audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps
audit: store the auditd PID as a pid struct instead of pid_t
audit: kernel generated netlink traffic should have a portid of 0
audit: combine audit_receive() and audit_receive_skb()
audit: convert audit_watch.count from atomic_t to refcount_t
audit: convert audit_tree.count from atomic_t to refcount_t
audit: normalize NETFILTER_PKT
netfilter: use consistent ipv4 network offset in xt_AUDIT
audit: log module name on delete_module
audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_watch_handle_event()
audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_mark_handle_event()
audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_field_valid()

Cong Wang correctly pointed out that the RCU read locking of the
auditd_connection struct was wrong, this patch correct this by
adopting a more traditional, and correct RCU locking model.
This patch is heavily based on an earlier prototype by Cong Wang.

The audit subsystem implemented its own buffer cache mechanism which
is a bit silly these days when we could use the kmem_cache construct.
Some credit is due to Florian Westphal for originally proposing that
we remove the audit cache implementation in favor of simple
kmalloc()/kfree() calls, but I would rather have a dedicated slab
cache to ease debugging and future stats/performance work.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Audit timestamps are recorded in string format into
an audit buffer for a given context.
These mark the entry timestamps for the syscalls.
Use y2038 safe struct timespec64 to represent the times.
The log strings can handle this transition as strings can
hold upto 1024 characters.

This is arguably the right thing to do, and will make it easier when

Conflicts were simply overlapping changes. In the net/ipv4/route.c
case the code had simply moved around a little bit and the same fix
was made in both 'net' and 'net-next'.
In the net/sched/sch_generic.c case a fix in 'net' happened at
the same time that a new argument was added to qdisc_hash_add().

Add the base infrastructure and UAPI for netlink extended ACK
reporting. All "manual" calls to netlink_ack() pass NULL for now and
thus don't get extended ACK reporting.
Big thanks goes to Pablo Neira Ayuso for not only bringing up the
whole topic at netconf (again) but also coming up with the nlattr
passing trick and various other ideas.
