From c8edc80c8b8c397c53f4f659a05b9ea6208029bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dustin Kirkland Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 16:12:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Exclude messages by message type - 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. [combined with followup fix for bug in original patch, Nov 4, same author] [combined with later renaming AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE->AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE and audit_filter_exclude() -> audit_filter_type()] Signed-off-by: Dustin Kirkland Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- include/linux/audit.h | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux/audit.h') diff --git a/include/linux/audit.h b/include/linux/audit.h index 739b954cb242..8fa1a8fbc04d 100644 --- a/include/linux/audit.h +++ b/include/linux/audit.h @@ -92,8 +92,9 @@ #define AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY 0x02 /* Apply rule at syscall entry */ #define AUDIT_FILTER_WATCH 0x03 /* Apply rule to file system watches */ #define AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT 0x04 /* Apply rule at syscall exit */ +#define AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE 0x05 /* Apply rule at audit_log_start */ -#define AUDIT_NR_FILTERS 5 +#define AUDIT_NR_FILTERS 6 #define AUDIT_FILTER_PREPEND 0x10 /* Prepend to front of list */ @@ -132,6 +133,7 @@ #define AUDIT_LOGINUID 9 #define AUDIT_PERS 10 #define AUDIT_ARCH 11 +#define AUDIT_MSGTYPE 12 /* These are ONLY useful when checking * at syscall exit time (AUDIT_AT_EXIT). */ @@ -289,6 +291,7 @@ extern int audit_sockaddr(int len, void *addr); extern int audit_avc_path(struct dentry *dentry, struct vfsmount *mnt); extern void audit_signal_info(int sig, struct task_struct *t); extern int audit_filter_user(struct netlink_skb_parms *cb, int type); +extern int audit_filter_type(int type); #else #define audit_alloc(t) ({ 0; }) #define audit_free(t) do { ; } while (0) -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
