2014-02-28audit: Send replies in the proper network namespace.Eric W. Biederman
In perverse cases of file descriptor passing the current network namespace of a process and the network namespace of a socket used by that socket may differ.

2014-02-28audit: Use struct net not pid_t to remember the network namespce to reply inEric W. Biederman
In struct audit_netlink_list and audit_reply add a reference to the network namespace of the caller and remove the userspace pid of the caller. This cleanly remembers the callers network namespace, and removes a huge class of races and nasty failure modes that can occur when attempting to relook up the callers network namespace from a pid_t (including the caller's network namespace changing, pid wraparound, and the pid simply not being present).

2014-01-13audit: fix incorrect set of audit_sockGao feng
NETLINK_CB(skb).sk is the socket of user space process, netlink_unicast in kauditd_send_skb wants the kernel side socket. Since the sk_state of audit netlink socket is not NETLINK_CONNECTED, so the netlink_getsockbyportid doesn't return -ECONNREFUSED. And the socket of userspace process can be released anytime, so the audit_sock may point to invalid socket. this patch sets the audit_sock to the kernel side audit netlink socket.

2014-01-13audit: audit_log_start running on auditd should not stopToshiyuki Okajima
The backlog cannot be consumed when audit_log_start is running on auditd even if audit_log_start calls wait_for_auditd to consume it. The situation is the deadlock because only auditd can consume the backlog. If the other process needs to send the backlog, it can be also stopped by the deadlock. So, audit_log_start running on auditd should not stop. You can see the deadlock with the following reproducer: # auditctl -a exit,always -S all # reboot Signed-off-by: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2014-01-13audit: drop audit_cmd_lock in AUDIT_USER family of casesRichard Guy Briggs
We do not need to hold the audit_cmd_mutex for this family of cases. The possible exception to this is the call to audit_filter_user(), so drop the lock immediately after. To help in fixing the race we are trying to avoid, make sure that nothing called by audit_filter_user() calls audit_log_start(). In particular, watch out for *_audit_rule_match(). This fix will take care of systemd and anything USING audit. It still means that we could race with something configuring audit and auditd shutting down.

2014-01-13audit: prevent an older auditd shutdown from orphaning a newer auditd startupRichard Guy Briggs
There have been reports of auditd restarts resulting in kaudit not being able to find a newly registered auditd. It results in reports such as: kernel: [ 2077.233573] audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=1614 kernel: [ 2077.234712] audit: audit_lost=97 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=320 kernel: [ 2077.234718] audit: auditd disappeared (previously mis-spelled "dissapeared") One possible cause is a race between the shutdown of an older auditd and a newer one. If the newer one sets the daemon pid to itself in kauditd before the older one has cleared the daemon pid, the newer daemon pid will be erased. This could be caused by an automated system, or by manual intervention, but in either case, there is no use in having the older daemon clear the daemon pid reference since its old pid is no longer being referenced. This patch will prevent that specific case, returning an error of EACCES. The case for preventing a newer auditd from registering itself if there is an existing auditd is a more difficult case that is beyond the scope of this patch.

2014-01-13audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limitRichard Guy Briggs
The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time. systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of 2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that history until auditd is able to drain the queue. This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot. One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers. Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might get more. None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel. This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

Otherwise, threads waiting in wait_for_auditd() will simply wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go back to sleep. This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles. kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue so we can't race. If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and the waiting thread would continue.

2013-11-05audit: printk USER_AVC messages when audit isn't enabledTyler Hicks
When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running, AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded. AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the audit-disabled case for discarding user messages"). When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg() refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions. It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()") introduced this bug.
