user/sven/linux.git/kernel/audit.c, branch v4.12.5

Merge branch 'stable-4.12' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

2017-05-03T16:21:59Z

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()

audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection structure

2017-05-02T14:16:05Z

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. Cc: # 4.11.x- Reported-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

audit: use kmem_cache to manage the audit_buffer cache

2017-05-02T14:16:05Z

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.

audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps

2017-05-02T14:16:05Z

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.

audit: store the auditd PID as a pid struct instead of pid_t

2017-05-02T14:16:05Z

This is arguably the right thing to do, and will make it easier when we start supporting multiple audit daemons in different namespaces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

audit: kernel generated netlink traffic should have a portid of 0

2017-05-02T14:16:05Z

We were setting the portid incorrectly in the netlink message headers, fix that to always be 0 (nlmsg_pid = 0). Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Reviewed-by: Richard Guy Briggs

audit: combine audit_receive() and audit_receive_skb()

2017-04-16T01:16:30Z

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(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: extended ACK reporting

2017-04-13T17:58:20Z

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.

audit: make sure we don't let the retry queue grow without bounds

2017-04-10T15:16:59Z

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.
