[PATCH] audit: always enable syscall auditing when supported and audit is enabled
by Paul Moore
To the best of our knowledge, everyone who enables audit at compile
time also enables syscall auditing; this patch simplifies the Kconfig
menus by removing the option to disable syscall auditing when audit
is selected and the target arch supports it.

[PATCH] audit: remove the audit freelist
by Florian Westphal
allows better debugging as freeing audit buffers now always honors slub
debug hooks (e.g. object poisoning) and leak checker can detect the
free operation.
Removal also results in a small speedup (using
single rule 'iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j AUDIT --type drop'):
super_netperf 4 -H 127.0.0.1 -l 360 -t UDP_RR -- -R 1 -m 64
Before:
294953
After:
298013
(alloc/free no longer serializes on spinlock, allocator can use percpu
pool).

[PATCH 1/2] audit: create audit_log_task_simple function
by Steve Grubb
The audit subsystem has 2 general kinds of audit events, syscall auditing
and hardwired audit events. Syscall auditing records quite a lot about the
process because it doesn't know ahead of time what is important to the
current syscall. For hardwired events, the information recorded can be
greatly reduced.
This patch adds a new function, audit_log_task_simple, which should be used
for most cases because it sticks to what is necessary for "hardwired"
events. It provides pid, uid, auid, tty, session, context, comm, exe.

[PATCH 0/2] audit: log binding and unbinding to netlink multicast socket
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I am resurrecting this old patch. Its been cleaned up by adding a simple task
logging function which should, in the future, serve almost all kernel logging
needs. The cleaned up bind and unbind functions call it to create the preamble
and then finish with specific data items for bind/unbinding.
In essence, this patch logs connecting and disconnecting to the audit netlink
multicast socket. This is needed so that during investigations a security
officer can tell who or what had access to the audit trail. This helps to meet
the FAU_SAR.2 SFR for Common Criteria.
Sample output:
type=UNKNOWN[1330] audit(1480532106.644:2): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295
tty=(none) ses=4294967295 subj=kernel comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/

If I understand correctly, xfrm_user_net_exit() usage of
RCU_INIT_POINTER() and synchronize_net() is similarly pointless? Also
net/phonet/socket.c? I probably modelled things based on the former...

Problem regards event fields a0-a3 in audit logs
by C.y
Hi all,
I looked into audit log and find myself having difficultly in understanding
the event field a0-a3.
I tried to look for answer but couldn't get any references for the
following question:
1. What are the initial value of a0-a3, and
2. Is there any way to get 5-th and above arguments?
Audit system reference from redhat (https://access.redhat.com/doc
umentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Security_
Guide/app-Audit_Reference.html) did mentioned that the first four arguments
of system call are recorded, but didn't mentions what their initial value
are when there a system call required less than four arguments.
For example, what will the value of a1, a2, a3 be when the system call
'close' are invoked? ('close' only takes 1 argument
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/close.2.html)
At first I am guessing that they might contain the a1-a3's value from
previous syscall record, so I starting doing some experiment on the audit
log I have collected (https://drive.google.com/file
/d/0B85cIbQMuvqDSHVGSHdDVjRWdHc/view):
`$ ausyscall --dump | grep 6 | head -n 1 ` returns
6 close
and below are part of my audit log that contains 2 syscall records:
...
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1479471647.440:197): arch=40000028 syscall=192
per=800000 success=yes exit=1995763712 a0=76f4f000 a1=1000 a2=3 a3=812
items=0 ppid=891 pid=907 auid=1001 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0
sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0 ses=3 comm="raspistill"
exe="/opt/vc/bin/raspistill" key=(null)
type=MMAP msg=audit(1479471647.440:197): fd=3 flags=0x812
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1479471647.440:197): proctitle="-bash"
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1479471647.440:198): arch=40000028 syscall=6
per=800000 success=yes exit=0 a0=3 a1=5 a2=76f31000 a3=0 items=0 ppid=891
pid=907 auid=1001 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0
tty=pts0 ses=3 comm="raspistill" exe="/opt/vc/bin/raspistill" key=(null)
...
the second syscall record show that the a1's value are somehow modified,
which eventually proved that my guessing of that they will contain previous
invoked syscall a1's value(1000) is wrong. That's how I got myself confused
and write to seek for answer regards this question.
Second, I wonder if there are way for me to know the 5-th and above
argument of a particular system call, i.e _llseek that takes 5 arguments?
Thanks a lot for all your help in advance!
Cheers.
