Commit 5b52330bbfe6 ("audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state
tracking") made inlining audit_signal_info() a bit pointless as
it was always calling into auditd_test_task() so let's remove the
inline function in kernel/audit.h and convert __audit_signal_info()
in kernel/auditsc.c into audit_signal_info().

<id>urn:sha1:5b52330bbfe63b3305765354d6046c9f7f89c011</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "The audit changes for v4.11 are relatively small compared to what we
  did for v4.10, both in terms of size and impact.

   - two patches from Steve tweak the formatting for some of the audit
     records to make them more consistent with other audit records.

   - three patches from Richard record the name of a module on module
     load, fix the logging of sockaddr information when using
     socketcall() on 32-bit systems, and add the ability to reset
     audit's lost record counter.

   - my lone patch just fixes an annoying style nit that I was reminded
     about by one of Richard's patches.

  All these patches pass our test suite"

* 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: remove unnecessary curly braces from switch/case statements
  audit: log module name on init_module
  audit: log 32-bit socketcalls
  audit: add feature audit_lost reset
  audit: Make AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event normalized

This adds a new auxiliary record MODULE_INIT to the SYSCALL event.

We get finit_module for free since it made most sense to hook this in to
load_module().

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "Six audit patches for 4.8.

  There are a couple of style and minor whitespace tweaks for the logs,
  as well as a minor fixup to catch errors on user filter rules, however
  the major improvements are a fix to the s390 syscall argument masking
  code (reviewed by the nice s390 folks), some consolidation around the
  exclude filtering (less code, always a win), and a double-fetch fix
  for recording the execve arguments"

* 'stable-4.8' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: fix a double fetch in audit_log_single_execve_arg()
  audit: fix whitespace in CWD record
  audit: add fields to exclude filter by reusing user filter
  s390: ensure that syscall arguments are properly masked on s390
  audit: fix some horrible switch statement style crimes
  audit: fixup: log on errors from filter user rules

<content type='text'>
The only users of audit_get_tty and audit_put_tty are internal to
audit, so move it out of include/linux/audit.h to kernel.h and create
a proper function rather than inlining it.  This also reduces kABI
changes.

RFE: add additional fields for use in audit filter exclude rules
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/5

Re-factor and combine audit_filter_type() with audit_filter_user() to
use audit_filter_user_rules() to enable the exclude filter to
additionally filter on PID, UID, GID, AUID, LOGINUID_SET, SUBJ_*.

The process of combining the similar audit_filter_user() and
audit_filter_type() functions, required inverting the meaning and
including the ALWAYS action of the latter.

Include audit_filter_user_rules() into audit_filter(), removing
unneeded logic in the process.

Keep the check to quit early if the list is empty.
