4:21 a.m.
Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH
records to be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL
records on a few modules when the following rule was in place for
startup:
-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load
This happens because the parent inode is not found in the task's
audit_names list and hence treats it as anonymous. This gives us no
information other than a numerical device number that may no longer be
visible upon log inspeciton, and an inode number.
Fill in the filesystem type, filesystem magic number and full pathname
from the filesystem mount point on previously null PATH records from
entries that have an anonymous parent from the child dentry using
dentry_path_raw().
Make the dentry argument of __audit_inode_child() non-const so that we
can take a reference to it in the case of an anonymous parent with
dget() and dget_parent() to be able to later print a partial path from
the host filesystem rather than null.
Since all we are given is an inode of the parent and the dentry of the
child, finding the path from the mount point to the root of the
filesystem is more challenging that would involve searching all
vfsmounts from "/" until a matching dentry is found for that
filesystem's root dentry. Even if one is found, there may be more than
one mount point. At this point the gain seems marginal since
knowing the filesystem type and path are a significant help in tracking
down the source of the PATH records and being to address them.
