2006-05-01[PATCH] Audit Filter PerformanceSteve Grubb1-4/+7
While testing the watch performance, I noticed that selinux_task_ctxid() was creeping into the results more than it should. Investigation showed that the function call was being called whether it was needed or not. The below patch fixes this.

2006-05-01[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditingSteve Grubb1-3/+51
1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different functions: - audit_ipc_obj() - audit_ipc_set_perm() There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid, mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to ensure that the information is captured by the audit system. The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded (and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before each instance). 2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally, the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-05-01[PATCH] More user space subject labelsSteve Grubb1-2/+2

2006-05-01[PATCH] change lspp ipc auditingSteve Grubb1-47/+21
Hi, The patch below converts IPC auditing to collect sid's and convert to context string only if it needs to output an audit record.

2006-05-01[PATCH] audit inode patchSteve Grubb1-37/+16
Previously, we were gathering the context instead of the sid. Now in this patch, we gather just the sid and convert to context only if an audit event is being output. This patch brings the performance hit from 146% down to 23% Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-05-01[PATCH] support for context based audit filtering, part 2Darrel Goeddel1-0/+20
This patch provides the ability to filter audit messages based on the elements of the process' SELinux context (user, role, type, mls sensitivity, and mls clearance). It uses the new interfaces from selinux to opaquely store information related to the selinux context and to filter based on that information. It also uses the callback mechanism provided by selinux to refresh the information when a new policy is loaded. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2006-03-20[PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information.Dustin Kirkland1-8/+134
This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver of an action. These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the appropriate record in the audit code. This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

- Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude". - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE. - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise. - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before doing a lot of work.

2006-03-20[PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing.Amy Griffis1-24/+118
This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4. Specifically, it: - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target inode's parent. - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for these calls. - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode # or a parent inode # matching a given rule. - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child. - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

2006-03-20[PATCH] Filter rule comparatorsDustin Kirkland1-42/+75
Currently, audit only supports the "=" and "!=" operators in the -F filter rules. This patch reworks the support for "=" and "!=", and adds support for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=". This turned out to be a pretty clean, and simply process. I ended up using the high order bits of the "field", as suggested by Steve and Amy. This allowed for no changes whatsoever to the netlink communications. See the documentation within the patch in the include/linux/audit.h area, where there is a table that explains the reasoning of the bitmask assignments clearly. The patch adds a new function, audit_comparator(left, op, right). This function will perform the specified comparison (op, which defaults to "==" for backward compatibility) between two values (left and right). If the negate bit is on, it will negate whatever that result was. This value is returned.

2006-03-20[PATCH] make vm86 call audit_syscall_exitJason Baron1-5/+0
hi, The motivation behind the patch below was to address messages in /var/log/messages such as: Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=252 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (1) Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=113 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (2) I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from: http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/. These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call 'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit' from the vm86 code. Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86 system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86. I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can also eliminate the notion of context chaining. I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct. Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output. thanks, -Jason Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2006-01-18[PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operationsAlan Cox1-1/+1
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block. It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.
